December 15, 2010 No Comment
Regional carrier MetroPCS is ticking three more checkboxes today as it keeps pushing its ongoing LTE network rollout, and they’re big ones: on top of Sacramento, they’ve added Boston and none other than New York City. That makes the carrier second to launch LTE in the Big Apple — Verizon’s already there — but you can’t take away from the fact that MetroPCS beat the big guys with their first live commercial markets by several months. As for hardware, it’s the same as usual: the Samsung Craft dumbphone is your only option, which means that if you’re looking to blaze on your notebook with a next-gen USB stick, you’re still going to have to head to Verizon anyway. Follow the break for the full press release.

December 15, 2010 No Comment
The first update for the Google TV platform since its release is now available on Logitech and Sony devices, and takes major strides towards addressing issues we pointed out in our review . The antiquated Netflix app is now sporting a new HTML5 based UI that resembles the one seen on the PlayStation 3 , while Dual View has addressed one of our biggest complaints by allowing users to move and resize the video window at will. Another major upgrade is support for an Android remote app arriving today with iPhone version “coming soon.” The last major update should be appreciated by Kevin Bacon stalkers enthusiasts with a new info page for movies that pulls in plenty of relevant information and availability online and from the listings all on one page. Our Sony Google TV had the 218 MB update downloaded and ready to install when we turned it on that also promised a few other updates on top of Google’s as seen above. We’ll check back in a moment to see how things are working — no word from Google yet on any progress breaking down the walls networks have put up around their streaming content — peep the updated Dual View and a video of the new remote control app after the break.

It may never ship at a price point we peons can stomach, but we’re no less thrilled to see RED’s fixed lens Scarlet being handled by a mere mortal on video. One Tonaci Tran was fortunate enough to brush into Jarred Land at a 3D workshop, and he just so happened to have a fully functional Scarlet on his person. Tori noted that the unit was a touch lighter than the Epic , and the top-mounted 5-inch touchscreen was obviously rather captivating. We’d bother going on (and on), but chances are you’ve already clicked through to catch the video. And if not… why?
