Join Sprint expands range with new HTC EVO Design 4G
The HTC EVO family has just gotten larger – thanks to the introduction of the HTC EVO Design 4G. Making its way to the market via Sprint, this will be the first EVO family member that boasts of World Phone capabilities. Of course, being able to use this phone just about anywhere you go in the world is not the only good thing – as the HTC EVO Design 4G will also come with many other “must-have” features that are found in its predecessors, ranging from Sprint’s 4G connectivity to a generous touchscreen display so that your fingers can dance all over the virtual keyboard with ease, spending more time composing correct text messages than making correction.
The HTC EVO Design 4G comes in a slim, pocket-friendly aluminum unibody design that will not burn a huge hole in your pocket at the end of the day, either, which you can read about after the jump. In between, let us take a look at the kind of specifications that the EVO Design 4G offers, shall we not?

Samsung announces next Google flagship – the Galaxy Nexus
Google’s flagship smartphones used to hail from HTC, but it seemed as though somewhere along the way, they switched to Samsung’s camp. That is not necessarily a bad thing though, as Samsung did a pretty good job so far – and the recently revealed Samsung Galaxy Nexus further cements the South Korean company’s reputation as a prime handset manufacturer, coming a long way since its humble beginnings. I still remember the cheap, plastic handsets that Samsung used to roll out, until the unique Blue ‘i’ model hit the market – now that was certainly a beauty, barring its build quality.
Fast forward to today, and you have the Galaxy Nexus, being the first smartphone in the world that is powered by Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, the latest release of the Android platform. In addition, your eyes will certainly appreciate what the 4.65″ HD Super AMOLED display technology is able to deliver – we’re talking about 720p resolution alongside a 1.2GHz dual core processor running proceedings from within, now how about that?

iZON Remote Room Monitor for iDevices
For those who are looking for a personal home monitoring system, complete with cameras, might want to look into the iZON. As its name implies, the iZON is another way of saying “eyes-on”, and the small “i” designates that it is designed to work with iPhones and iPads.
The iDevice user needs to download a Stem:Connect App. It is free, and it guides the user to getting iZON cameras to sync with his or her personal wireless network. There is no need for cables, and the user can set up as many iZON cameras as he or she thinks is necessary on different networks or even different locations.

Verbatim’s Wireless Bluetooth Mobile Keyboard for iDevices
This Wireless Bluetooth Mobile Keyboard from Verbatim is a lot like the one from Kensington that I reviewed the other day.
This one is made specifically for iDevices running iOS 4.0 or higher, and it is a heck of a lot more compact. The whole thing folds up to a size that is a little bigger than the palm of your hand, and it has this iPhone Stand that can unfold from the device and snap right back in.
The enhanced Bluetooth ability allows users to join up six devices at once, and the keyboard itself has some great hotkeys available. For example, it has a media console with play, pause, and other ways to control iTunes. Other useful keys include cut, copy, and paste.

BungeeAir Power Wireless Security Tether and Battery for the iPhone from Kensington
Kensington’s BungeeAir Wireless Security Tether is both a battery and insurance for the iPhone 4/4S. I have seen a lot of iPhone accessories that give battery power, but this is one that iPhone users really need to keep them from losing that precious Apple investment.
The Wireless Security Tether comes with a BungeeAir fob that can be used as a keychain. An iPhone that has the BungeeAir app can wirelessly sync with the fob. This is good for situations for when you can’t find your iPhone. Not only that, you can use the iPhone to find the fob if you lose that part. It is also good for situations when the iPhone is stolen. If it gets 50 feet away, the alarm on the fob will go off. Not only that, the BungeeAir application password locks the iPhone so no one can access the iPhone that shouldn’t be.
As far as the extra power goes, the protective case packs a 1500mAh battery that can give you 4 hours of talk time.

Video gaming fans would definitely have heard about the Call of Duty franchise before, and surely many of you out there are huge fans of it. For those who feel that they need to openly declare their allegiance to the franchise, you can always purchase hardware that bears the name of it. Trust Logitech to come up with a couple of accessories for those rocking to a PC as their gaming platform of choice, where you are able to choose from the Logitech Laser Mouse G9X and the Logitech Gaming Keyboard G105, where both of them are respectively the official keyboard and mouse of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3, delivering enhanced precision and customization so that you are able to go one up on the competition should your skill levels be nearly on par.
Let us concentrate on the keyboard first – it will sport half a dozen programmable G-keys, where each of them will come with a trio of mode states, allowing you to configure up to 18 possible macro combinations no matter the kind of game you play. Heck, you are even able to record new macros on the fly if you so desire. Boasting an optimized key matrix that was specially designed to enable you to use more keys simultaneously in FPS games, one-touch controls also deliver instant access to volume, start, stop, pause, forward and back functions.

Motorola Droid RAZR brings new meaning to the word ‘thin’
When Motorola first rolled out the RAZR phone all those years ago, I was part of the crowd that certainly lost sleep over the phone. It was so slim at that time, and despite coming in a clamshell form factor with Motorola’s much maligned user interface, it looked good from the outside. So good that it proved to be the Achilles Heel of Motorola, as whatever they churned out after the RAZR failed to capture the imagination of the market – victims of their own success, really.
Nice to know that Google’s Android operating system managed to pull Motorola back from the brink with the original Motorola Droid, and here we are many generations later with the Motorola Droid RAZR, perhaps the amalgamation of both names might prove to be quite the killer. No matter what people say though, you cannot deny that this is also a thing of beauty, basically putting “impossible” into your pocket.

clipSYNC – keeps your friends close, and enemies closer
OK, so the title might be a little bit dramatic, but the clipSYNC is a unique piece from the peripherals category, considering how it is actually best described as a compact charge and sync cable that comes complete with a built-in, spring-loaded carbineer clip. Why friends closer and enemies closer? Well, it lets you hang out your compatible smartphone near you, hence that expression.
Available in both iPod/iPhone and Micro and Mini USB models, the latter will sport a unique patent pending hammerhead design. This is the third generation of the compact charge and sync cable line, where its unparalleled versatility makes it the best model to date – and I am quite sure it will be surpassed by the next generation version.
Using rugged aluminum and durable polycarbonate as part of its materials, the clipSYNC will allow you to sync and charge your device wherever you are, and is specially constructed to withstand normal wear and tear which occurs whenever you travel. Too bad USB 3.0 connectivity is not supported, but we will make do with USB 2.0 at the moment. The Scosche clipSYNC can be picked up for $19.99 a pop.
