While we’re all still waiting for definite word on whether Samsung will be announcing the Galaxy S III at the Mobile World Congress or not, they just rolled out a new smartphone that’s aimed for the mainstream market – or whatever niche goes right under the expected Galaxy S III flagship. Called the Galaxy S Advance, the new phone looks good enough to tide us over before the big unveil. If this is what 2012’s mainstream smartphones are going to be packing, then things are looking good.
Dual-SIM phones – or phones that can fit in two SIM cards for people with two numbers — have been out for years now, but this is definitely rare. In case fitting two SIM cards into a single phone wasn’t enough numbers to handle, how about three? LG is reportedly going to release the LG A290, a triple-SIM phone, in Russia next month.
While we certainly thought that the Razer Blade was an awesome gaming notebook, we never thought demand for a $2,800 notebook would be this high. So high, in fact, that Razer has run out of their initial stock within 30 minutes of putting it on sale.
Asus will finally pull out the Padfone that they’ve been pimping since May 2011 during last year’s Computex. This was confirmed when they sent out invites to a press event they’ll be holding at the Mobile World Mobile in February.
Are you looking to go places but you don’t want to spend for gas or arrive as a wheezing, sweaty mess? Check out what Boxx Corporation just put out. Called the Boxx, this unique box-on-two-wheels is basically an electric bike – or something that we all could be using for personal transportation in a few years if gas prices continue to go up. We say “personal” because it’s a bit too small to fit your date in, since the Boxx is only a meter long; just enough for (ideally) fitting one rider. Despite the size limitations, the 120-pound Boxx is still a pretty capable man-hauler, with a build that’s listed capable of taking 300 pounds of weight for a ride.
