- Samson Meteor Mic review
Look at this guy! What a cutie! It’s like Elvis‘ microphone cross-bred with some sort of weird alien USB bumblebee. Samson’s Meteor Mic is unquestionably shiny, but its competition is an increasingly attractive bunch as well. Does Lil’ Samson’s beauty run only grill-deep? Read on to find out!

- Reuters: Apple set to launch cloud-based music service ahead of Google
It’s the rumor that wouldn’t die, and Reuters is now reporting that Apple is finally set to launch a cloud-based music service — presumably putting its massive North Carolina data center to some real work at long last. Details are still fairly light beyond that, but Reuters says that Apple’s service will actually launch ahead of Google’s similar cloud-based option, which it reports is now “stalled,” citing “several people familiar with both companies plans.” According to Reuters, the service will let folks store their music (and only music, apparently) on Apple’s servers and then access it on any device with an internet connection — and a copy of iTunes, we presume.Reuters: Apple set to launch cloud-based music service ahead of Google originally appeared on Engadget on Thu, 21 Apr 2011 16:40:00 EDT.

Reuters | Email this | Comments - iriver Story HD e-reader hits the FCC, US retailers next?
We haven’t heard much about iriver’s Story HD e-reader since it quite literally landed in our laps at CES back in January, but it looks like it might now finally be nearing a US launch. The e-reader has just turned up at the FCC, where’s it’s been thoroughly tested and dissected (see the link below for some additional evidence). That’s not always a sure sign that a US launch is imminent, but it does seem likely in this case — especially considering that iriver has already lined up a number of US content partnerships for the device. As for the e-reader itself, it’s similar in size to the Kindle and packs a 6-inch 1024 x 768 display, along with an 800MHz Coretx A8 processor, 2GB of internal memory, an SD card slot for expansion, and WiFi connectivity. In other words, it remains unchanged from CES, which means our preview is just as relevant as ever.iriver Story HD e-reader hits the FCC, US retailers next? originally appeared on Engadget on Thu, 21 Apr 2011 16:24:00 EDT.

Flashbacks: the phones that revolutionized mobile cameras, part 1
Over the past few years we've watched smartphone chipsets go from having a lonely CPU core to having ten. Display resolutions broke the HD barrier and currently top out at 4K. But progress has slowed down on both the chipset and display fronts. High refresh rate displays made things exciting again for a while, but that excitement is dying down too. Cameras, however, seem to keep getting better and better (and more numerous). And more often than not they are the reason to upgrade before your old phone is on its last legs. A Snapdragon 855 may be a couple of years old at this point, but it's...
Weekly poll: are the three Redmi K40 phones the kings of their price segments or not?
Xiaomi unveiled three Redmi K40 phones earlier this week. Or did it? If you look at just the screen and camera, there’s only one phone. If you look at the chipset, there are two phones. And if you look at the cameras, there are three phones. That may sound like a magic trick, but a quick run through the specs should clear things up. Redmi K40 series highlight features and differences in infographic form All three K40 phones use the same 6.67” Super AMOLED display (an E4 panel). It impresses with 360Hz touch sampling rate (one of the fastest we’ve seen yet) and 120Hz refresh...
Weekly poll results: the Samsung Galaxy F62 could be a hit, if its price drops
The Samsung Galaxy F62 became available in India on Monday, then a few days later it became clear that the model will go global under the M62 name. Samsung Thailand even listed all the official specs for the M-series variation (unsurprisingly, it’s a carbon copy). We don’t know the worldwide pricing, but in India the F62 starts at INR 24,000 ($330/€270). Which, judging by last week’s poll, is a bit too high for comfort – most voters like the phone, but they think it’s a bit too pricey. Some forward-looking individuals pointed out that the resale value of a 4G phone will be lower than that...
Samsung Galaxy A02s in for review
Say hello to the Samsung Galaxy A02s, an entry level phone that aims to deliver a decent smartphone experience at a €150 price point. The Galaxy A20s is well made and feels good in the hand. It comes with a cable and a 15W charger, which is more than you get with a Galaxy S21-series phone these days. We do regret the omission of a case, but at these prices it's no surprise. The back of the phone has a stylish prism finish, which captures the light and reflects in different shades. It's also textured, which lends the phone a comfortable grip. The Galaxy A02s also has all the...
LastPass for Android has seven built-in trackers, security firm warns
In an extensive investigation carried out by a German security firm, Exodus, the popular password manager app LastPass was found to collect and send personal information of subscribers using the Android app. It does so with the help of seven different built-in trackers. Even though LastPass allows you to opt-out of those trackers, the very existence of the built-in software could pose a security risk for the users. The trackers collect data such as device information, mobile operator, the type of LastPass account and the Google Advertising ID used to connect user data across other apps...
