HTC Pyramid and EVO 3D

HTC Pyramid

HTC EVO 3D

These two flagship "superphones" (I'm gonna go ahead and stick with smartphone) are very similar; the reason for their dual existence is pretty much just down to the USs carrier model. Sprint will get the EVO 3D as you'd expect, with T-Mobile bagging the HTC Pyramid (AT&T too, depending when you upgrade, thanks to the recent buy-out).

Both smartphones pack 4.3" qHD (960x540) capacitive touch displays, dual core 1.2GHz processors, and 5MP cameras on the back, with 1080p video playback.

Then, however, they start to differ. The EVO 3D has two 5MP cameras on the back, for some nifty 3D snaps/recording. It also plays back 3D on it's glasses-free 3D display (at 720p, 1080p is 2D only).

4G support is also on offer, which does make it tricky to predict whether or not we'll see these devices n the UK - our 4G spectrum isn't even being auctioned off to the mobile networks until after the Olympics, since it's being used for low latency raw footage transmissions.

We can always hope though! Keep your eyes peeled, and browsers firmly pointed toward our site for more info soon on pricing, release date, and UK availability.

Mozilla Firefox 4.0 - up for your taking

That's right, Firefox 4.0 here on an internet near you...

As far as i can tell its the same old, faster, safer, stronger that all of the software updates normally are. But it does include some nice new features too, such as the App Tab.

After releasing a final Beta a few days back, we've got the real thing, so I downloaded and installed it, giving it a run for its money. It does seem to be up to standard with the new IE9 I posted about not too long ago.


Check it out for yourself, here.

Look out for our head to head comparison between IE9 and Firefox 4.0.

Internet Explorer 9 has arrived

That's right - available from the 14th of March, the new Microsoft Internet Explorer: Version 9.

From the recent downloads, it looks like its here to stay - topping 2 million downloads in the first day - 2.3 million if we're being precise.

I decided to take a look, and it is a very modern; minimalistic look, with squares and sharp edges. But I'm sceptical as to whether it lives up to being, as it claims, "Clean", "Fast" and "Trusted"...

But figures surely speak for themselves, so it must be worth a look -

Sandy Bridge is a go!

Intel just thwacked out no less that twenty-nine shiny new CPUs, along with ten new chipsets.


Yep, the long anticipated Sandy Bridge has arrived, you can find the specific processors and features available after the break.


Prices range from $117 to $317 plus tax, no word on UK pricing just yet.

Mac Mini loses a few pounds...

Apple's cheapest Mac offspring - the Mini - has had it's price cut by £50 in the UK, but remains static in the US. This may play tribute to the current economy, or it may be Apple just poking and laughing, whatever the cause if you're in Europe and have fancied yourself a Mac Mini before now, it seems like a good time.


If you've not sought after one anyway, well a £50 drop to £599 probably isn't enough to make you rush out for one. But hey, it's your money.
