HTC took to their Facebook page today to remind everyone that Android 4.0 is being deployed to a trio of their handsets. If you happen to own a Rezound (Verizon), Evo 3D (Sprint), or Evo Design (Sprint) then you'll want to keep an eye out for an update. We've received reports that some of you have already received your Ice Cream Sandwich so it's only a matter of time. Sit tight if you haven't been notified yet, these often take a few days.

| New Droid Razr HD images arriving online Posted: 02 Aug 2012 01:19 PM PDT The first images of the Motorola Droid Razr HD have landed online, confirming the long-rumored name in the process. Found on DroidForums this week, the Android-powered smartphone has the look of previous Razr models with some Atrix HD design cues as well. Looking at the back of the phone we see the familiar Verizon 4G LTE logo which should come as no surprise no one. It's been a while since we saw a Verizon and Motorola collaboration so we expect to hear something before long.
As far as what we might expect with the Droid Razr HD, details are reported to include Android 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich, a 720p HD display with Colorboost technology, a battery in excess of 2500mAh, and a 1.5GHz dual-core Snapdragon S4 processor. Wrapped in Kevlar, this beauty ought to sell quite well whenever it is that Verizon decides to announce.

| Soladec All-in-One Portable Solar Power Charger review Posted: 02 Aug 2012 10:51 AM PDT
If you're planning on doing a little camping or spending a few days away from power then I've got something you need to add to your packing checklist. It's called the Soladec Hybrid All-in-One Portable Solar Power Charger and External Battery Pack with Integrated Ultra High-Flux LED Light and it was my best friend last week. I spent the first half of the week on a cub scout camping trip where I was removed from society and all its wonderful trappings (power outlets). Going in, I expected to be outside and in the summer sun, following a bunch of boys around. Since I was the guy in charge of taking pictures and video for Facebook, I had to make sure I was going to be juiced up. The Soladec was the first thing I pulled out of the box and set up and it was often the last thing I put away at night.
What did I use the Soladec to charge? Just about anything, really. I had multiple phones with me, a digital camera, and a Nexus 7 tablet. I was, for the most part, able to completely charge a phone or two every day with some left over. The other scout fathers noticed the charger on day one and came to me throughout the trip to juice up. On average, the Soladec is rated to completely charge most smartphones 2-2.5 times. Depending on how many times I was able to get to an actual outlet, I was able to exceed this. Keep in mind that if you are relying strictly on the power of the sun then you'll likely not accomplish this. Results, as always, vary depending on what you are charging. The Soladec was incredibly useful at night, not only because of its charging, but for the ultra-bright LED light on the rear. Brighter than any other flashlights we packed, this was the device that lighted our way to the showers and around the camp. Thanks to its kickstand leg, we would also set this on the table to see where all of our s'mores fixings were. Staying with the back side for a moment, there's an indicator which shows you how much power is left however it does not give a percentage. The remaining level is shown via a red, yellow, and green light. Also, the intelligent charging system will turn itself off when the device is fully charged. How big is the Soladec? Picture a chubby Kindle Fire and you've got a good mental picture. It weights about as much as any other 7-inch tablet on the market and packs away quite nicely. What's in the box?
Price for the Soladec hovers right around $100 and I have no problem recommending the device at this price. Two of the scout fathers that made the trip last week have already ordered one of these for themselves and were extremely anxious to receive it.

| Samsung holding Unpacked event at IFA (Aug 29) Posted: 02 Aug 2012 07:57 AM PDT
Samsung is sending out invitations to another Unpacked event, this one scheduled for August 29 and taking place in Berlin. Kicking off right at the start of the annual IFA show, it's assumed that Samsung will be unveiling a new device. As to what device is unclear at this point, however speculation calls for a new Galaxy Note or Galaxy Note 10.1 refresh. Our gut tells us it's the followup to last year's phone/tablet hybrid device, the 5.3-inch Galaxy Note. Be sure to check back in the days and weeks leading up to the Unpacked event as we hope to uncover new details!
