Beyond the app: Seesmic Vs Tweetdeck part 2

I'm back with another Seesmic-Tweetdeck post. You might be wondering why it's part 2, it is because this is my second "comparative post" of the two leading Twitter clients currently available. My first, so called comparative post, is in my Posterous account (if you like to check it out click the link). Anyway, Tweetdeck have updated their Tweetdeck app (for desktops) to version 0.37.2 which have new features including the recently launched Deck.ly (works like Twitlonger). Seesmic have done their part of updating too with their Seesmic for Desktop 2 version 1.1.0.1461. I will talk more about their features after the break.

Samsung Galaxy Tab finally gets reviewed by Endgadget - "The true competitor of the iPad"

The Samsung Galaxy Tab's journey was quite an up and down ride. From rumors back in May that Samsung will be releasing their own tablet, to the unveiling back at the IFA Berlin, and to the delayed launching, true enough, Endgadget termed it's journey until the time they reviewed it as a "saga". Samsung is expected to put the Galaxy Tab right in front of the iPad's road to ultimate stardom as it' true competition. Did Samsung live up to the expectation? Did they choose the right Operating System for the tablet to be a worthy competitor of the iPad? And how about the size of the Tab? Well, Endgadget finally gives us their views and have posted their review of the most talked about tablet in the planet after the iPad.

LG Optimus 7 review by Endgadget

The LG Optimus 7, a Windows Phone 7 device, is one of the two WP7 smartphones that LG currently unveiled. For me it's a great phone design wise, I could not say the same for performance, because all of the current WP7 devices have equal performance, base on other WP7 device reviews. What, I think, made makes the LG Optimus 7 a great device is basically who how it's been put all together and the combination of a great, not perfect, OS in a great, not perfect, hardware. Head over the break to know what Endgadget thinks of the LG Optimus 7.

HTC 7 Trophy review by Endgadget

The HTC 7 Trophy is the 4th HTC Windows Phone 7 device that Endgadget was able to review about. There are actually 5 WP7 HTCs that they have unveiled, the HTC HD7, HTC 7 Surround, & HTC 7 Mozart have all been reviewed, except for one, that until now has yet to be reviewed, the HTC 7 Pro. I think, the HTC 7 Pro is also yet to give us some live photos or hands on. This time it's the HTC 7 Trophy's hour to be on the spotlight and gets to be judged right there and then. Head over the break to read the goods an the bads of this smartphone.

HTC Desire HD reviewed by Endgadget

The HTC Desire HD, one of the giant Android phones in the market today gets reviewed by Endgadget. Launched in the UK and is available too in the UK the Desire HD is HTC's flagship Android phone, is it? Oh well, it doesn't matter which is the flagship phone. The HTC Desire HD together with the Desire Z are the first phones from that features the latest HTC Sense UI. So I'll be taking snippets of important points that Endgadget have put in their time with the HTC Desire HD. Specs first.

The Samsung Champ, comes with two variants, is Samsung's cheapest touchscreen phone. It gives you the benefit of being very affordable with all of the touchscreen functionality. 

Updated: Samsung Focus review, this time from Gizmodo & Endgadget

©Gizmodo

My previous reviews of 4 amazing Windows Phone 7 devices are all from Endgadget. It seems Gizmodo has a Samsung Focus on hand and have made a review out of it. Now, Gizmodo does not have that scorecard rating that Endgadget has but who needs a scorecard from this device if the title from Gizmodo's review goes: "Samsung Focus Review: The First Windows Phone That Matters"? It'll be of the same though, I'd be getting snippets from Gizmodo's review just to sum up everything they have discovered.

Samsung Omnia 7 review - Score 7/10

The Samsung Omnia 7, one of only two WP7 devices that Samsung have launched in sync with the launching of Windows Phone 7. So far, it's the highest scoring WP7 device that Endgadget have. To know why it got the highest score so far head over the break to know why.

HTC HD7 review

This will be the last HTC Windows Phone 7 device review I will be blogging about, still from my source, Endgadget. This smartphone right here has a 4.3inch display, now that's what I'm talking about. 1GHz Qualcoom Snapdragon processor and 576MB of RAM. It's like HTC's WP7 of the HTC Desire HD, which runs on Android.

HTC 7 Surround review

©Endgadget

The second WP7 in my list to post is the HTC 7 Surround. HTC was the company who launched the most Windows Phone 7 devices 3 more than that of Samsung and LG. The Surround's most unique feature is the slide out speakers. Not only that, it also sports Dolby Mobile and SRS Surround features. It's a 3.8inch smartphone, almost but not quite to my liking of 4 or more inch screen smartphones.

HTC 7 Mozart review

©Endgadget

Endgadget currently have 3 HTC's running on Windows Phone 7 reviews. First is the HTC 7 Mozat, or at least this is what I will be posting first. Its a great WP7 device, actually, although I'm more of a fan of those smartphones that have bigger screens, this device features a 3.7inch screen, modest, for my standards.

Windows Phone 7 Review - the OS of it all

And again, I will say this again, I do not have the capability of doing a review, unfortunately. Hey, who cares? We have great techblogs out there that do the job perfectly! So for this post its time to take the spotlight out from Apple's MacBook brilliance and lets get to see the new Windows Phone 7.

Puma Phone Review

Remember the Puma Phone? I posted about this over at my previous blogging site, Posterous. I completely forgot about this, that their is a Pum Puma Phone somwhere in the wild. The review actually came so much later, my first post about this was 4months ago. But anyhow, the trusty guys from Endgadget have posted their review for the Puma Phone. They gave the phone a 3/10 rating, which is basically a very bad rating. Read on Endgadget's full review of the device by clicking here.

Samsung Transform gets 3/10 - Review

The Samsung Transform falls prey to Endgadget's talons. Endgadget just posted their full review on the Samsung Transform. Its a mid-range Android device, but 3/10 isn't a good number for it to expect good sales. 

Endgadget's Toshiba Libretto Review

Photo grabbed from Endgadget
The Toshiba Libretto the first and I think is the only netbook in the world that features a dual capacitive touchscreen. Its a revolution on its own and Toshiba I think is trying to set a new standards in netbook technology and where this technology should be going. Anyway its for me a cool netbook, if I set aside specification standards I set for a good netbook. I know this netbook's specs won't make it with my set standards.
Toshiba Libretto as most of you might notice did not make that much noise. I was surprised actually, because this netbook is one of a kind and is, like what I've said, a revolution. Anyway hit on the source link below to read the full review from Endgadget.

Samsung Epic 4G - Boy Genius Report's Review

Photo grabbed from Boy Genius Report

I have written about the Epic 4G a dozen times now, including reviews of the device from a different tech blog from Boy Genius Report. Oh well, Gizmodo, Endgadget, and BGR all said the same thing when they posted their review on the Samsung Galaxy S Epic 4G which is obviously bound for Sprint. The only 4G capable of the 4 Galaxy S-es and the only Galaxy S that features a slide out full QWERTY keyboard. This is Sprint's second 4G smartphone in their fleet, along side the HTC Evo 4G, Sprint's flagship device. but recently, Sprint released a video about the Epic 4G pointing out that it is better than the HTC Evo, well, I don't know about you but that's what I think the employee (in the video) is telling me.

As what I have said over and over again too, with Samsung's Super AMOLED technology in tact on all its Galaxy S-es, Samsung has the capability to make their devices thin. Yes, this smartphone right here with a 4inch touch screen display is thin even if it has the keyboard underneath it. How thin? 0.56 inches thin? Do not know how thing that is? Its this thin.

Photo grabbed from Boy Genius Report

For the specifications of this device, I will be quoting BGR for this. Here goes!

• 4-inch Super AMOLED capacitive touch-screen display  (480 x 800)
• 1 GHz Coretex A8 Snapdragon processor
• Android 2.1 with TouchWiz 3.0
• 512 MB RAM/512 MB ROM
• CDMA EV-DO rev. A/WiMax
• Wi-Fi b/g/n
• Bluetooth 2.1
• a-GPS
• rear-facing 5 megapixel camera with 720p video recording and LED flash; front-facing VGA camera
• micro-SD card slot
• 4.90 x 2.54 x 0.56 inches
• 5.46 ounces

Look how clear that screen is. That's the power of the Super AMOLED technology from Samsung. It literally competes, if not better than iPhone 4's Retina display.

 

To to finish my post I will also be quoting BGR of their conclusion about this devil of a smartphone.

At the end of a phone review we always ask ourselves: could we use this device day-in and day-out as our primary phone? And we are happy to report that in regards to the Epic 4G the answer is: absolutely. Combine the flexibility of Android with a rock-solid keyboard and high-end features and you have yourself a winner. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the Epic 4G to anyone and truly wonder which of the two 4G handsets Sprint considers its flagship. The device is priced $50 higher than the EVO 4G, but if you need to have a physical keyboard — and don’t mind the TouchWiz UI and Android 2.1 — it’s money well spent.

You can't get a review that'd be better than that! Now all you have to do is to hit the source link below to read the full review from BGR.
