Hulu Plus: Hands-On With the iPhone, HD and More [REVIEW]

By anthony | Published: July 7, 2010
Hulu Plus is a breakthrough service for people who want to completely abandon traditional television in favor of an Internet-based alternative, but there are a few things holding it back for some picky users. We spend the weekend watching items in Hulu Plus’s library on multiple devices, and our impressions are generally positive, although there are a few kinks to work out. Not every complaint about Hulu Plus is a kink, of course. Some people will say that they refuse to pay a monthly subscription fee for ad-supported content on principle. We’ll talk a bit about what reasonable expectations should be there, but needless to say, if you feel strongly enough about the principle, Hulu Plus isn’t for you and none of its features will change your mind

By anthony | Published: June 15, 2010
June 20th. That’s when AT&T gets the HTC Aria — a phone which, at least in my mind, is AT&T’s first to be powered by Android. What’s that you say? The Motorola Backflip was the first Android phone on AT&T?

T-Mobile Garminfone now on sale, price still boggles the mind

By melissa | Published: June 9, 2010
As promised , T-Mobile has brought the Garminfone to retail today for $199 after $50 rebate on a new two-year contract, calling into question the viability of selling a nav-centric Android device with an HVGA display, 3 megapixel camera, and no 3.5mm headphone jack for $250 out of pocket in the store. We suppose the awesome car dock will attract some, but the myTouch 3G Slide certainly seems like the better option for less money -- maybe this would work at $99 or $149, we suppose. Not that we're impatient or anything, but where's our Froyo update, Garmin?
