New Samsung Galaxy Tab 7 With Dual Core 1.2GHz Processor

Samsung recently announced two new tablets in its Galaxy Tab range the Galaxy Tab 8.9 and the Galaxy Tab 10.1, but where does that leave the original Samsung Galaxy Tab with its 7 inch display.

We heard rumors previously that Samsung would release a second generation version of the original Galaxy Tab, and now according to the guy over at HDBlog  Samsung will be releasing it later this year.

According to the report the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7 will feature a 7 inch WSCGA IPS LCD display, and will come with a dual core 1.2GHz processor, plus 1GB of RAM, and it will reportedly come with Android 2.3.4 Gingerbread instead of Honeycomb and it will be able to make voice calls and send SMS message like the original Galaxy Tab.

There are no details as yet on when exactly the new Samsung Galaxy Tab will be released, although September has been rumored as when it will be announced which will be 12 months on from the release of the original Galaxy Tab.

The Perfect Group Shot | How your camera phone is about to get way more awesome.

 Check the video below:Rewind captures a burst of five full resolution photographs, allowing the user to pick and choose the best bits from each photo. The selected faces are immediately composited into a single photograph, ready for sharing. We found Scalado on the show floor for a repeat performance.

As you can see in the video, Rewind is intelligent enough to detect faces and allow the user–ahem,photographer–to select which faces should be used in the final shot. Scalado said they’re working on a new version with smile and blink detection that can even do the selecting for you, making the process of getting the perfect group shot an almost automatic experience.

The only downside is that, at this time, they’re only looking to distribute the technology via OEMs–meaning you shouldn’t expect to see a Rewind app in the market any time soon. The burst photo capture is processor-intensive, ultimately limiting the end range of devices it can run on (and explaining why Scalado has paired with Qualcomm and is testing on that beast of a device).

What say you, the avid phone photographer? Is this something you’d want in your phone? If manufacturers started offering the feature, would that be a real draw to the device or just a “nice to have?” Personally I think it’s pretty awesome tech, but I’m still waiting on the boost in cell camera optics to really make it worth it.

« TechiePK » Dropcam – Watch your World from Anywhere!!!

Every time I come home from work, my dog looks so guilty, I try to touch the pillows on the couch to see if they’re still warm, I check for tell tale signs of dog hair in the middle of my nice clean bed, all while he slinks around knowing he’s done something. I don’t know what he’s up to, but I’m just about to find out…

Meet Dropcam, the new wifi webcam that allows you to monitor video of whats going on at your home or business from anywhere, via the web or even on your mobile device. The Dropcam is very small, easy to set up and very easy to use.

Simply connect the Dropcam to your Wi-Fi network using 802.11 b/g. You can also use a wired connection with the included ethernet cable. Dropcam works with most types of consumer routers and supports WEP, WPA, and WPA2 encryption. The Dropcam sets up in a flash and because there are no technical skills required, you just need to plug it in, and you’re done. Watch a demo after the break.

The Dropcam is perfect for those who travel frequently, or even just work away from home. Just set up a Dropcam in your home or business and watch what happens while you’re away, from almost anywhere in the world. See the demo HERE. Rover is just about to get his, I can tell you that.

You can also set up the Dropcam (or a few of them) to feed you automatic alerts of any activity while you’re gone, Dropcam can automatically detect motions or sound in order to record important events that happen while you’re not there. When something happens, you receive an email or iPhone push notification immediately and, you can watch it on the web or on your iPhone or Android device.

Dropcam.com currently offers two different models, the Dropcam Original ($199), which is video-only, and the Dropcam Echo ($279), which also captures audio the basic service is free, but if you add $8.95 a month, you can actually record 7 days of video and get notifications when the camera detects movement. Cool.

« TechiePK » Paper-Phone Change The Way We Do Mobile Devices

we all know that consumer electronics companies are struggling to make their devices thinner and thinner. We all know where this is heading, to a future era where every piece of paper is like a tablet PC, like on the failedCaprica TV series.

This PaperPhone seems ready for that era, and it takes it a step further with a bendable interface. You can see what it is like on a video after the jump, but it really isn’t like anything that is on current mobile phones or tablets.

Not to be too much of a spoiler, but I was confused with how the user can bend certain corners in order to produce different functions. It seems to have some touchscreen capability, which comes in handy when making a phone call. I could see how flicking a corner can advance a track on the music player mode, but I don’t know how simple to use this would be. It’s not like the touch interface of the iPad that has become so popular.

The technology used to make the PaperPhone is already here, as it is same found in the Amazon Kindle e-reader, which is millimeters thick. It is under development by researchers from Queen’s University in Kingston, Canada, Arizona State University, and the E-Ink Corporation. So, is this bendable touchscreen display the “must have” tech of the future? We shall see.

« TechiePK » Charge your Cell Phone With Sound | How?? Readmore..!!!

It happened again, I was 50 miles from home with a million things that needed to be done, when I got a flat tire, and my cell phone was dead. I didn’t have a charger, I was in the middle of nowhere, and I had to get to a dentist appointment AND I pick my daughter up at school. Why is it the phone never goes dead while I’m texting nonsense to my best friend in Minnesota?

Someday, days like today could be a distant memory, as electrical engineers in South Korea are currently working on a system that can convert everyday sound into energy, so imagine if you will, a world where cell phones can recharge themselves as people speak into them. The technology would also be able to harness background noise and music, to charge phones while they’re not being used.

The actual process being used in order to convert sound into energy seems simple enough. According to a recent article in the Telegraph, ”The technology uses tiny strands of zinc oxide sandwiched between two electrodes. A sound absorbing pad on top vibrates when sound waves hit it, causing the tiny zinc oxide wires to compress and release. This movement generates an electrical current that can then be used to charge a battery.”

A prototype of this technology was able to convert sound of around 100 decibels – which is the equivalent of noisy traffic – to generate 50 millivolts of electricity. “This is not enough to charge a phone properly, but Dr Kim and his colleagues hope that by altering the material the wires are made from, they will be able to produce more energy at lower sounds levels.

Now if the music on my iPod could just run the vacuum cleaner and the vacuum noise could keep the iPod charged… that would be living!

Add Some Style and Color to your Multimedia Experience | iSkin earTones, iSkin earPhones

The very name iSkin itself is instantly recognizable among those who own a portable media player, simply because the company does roll out accessories in the premium range for mobile devices, and among their latest devices would be the earTones stereo earphones that come complete with a microphone and remote control, boasting a stylish design and eye-popping colors to capture the attention of anyone who takes but a glance at it.

Specifically designed for today’s wide range of digital gadgets, the earTones by iSkin is capable of delivering high-definition sound, being lightweight in nature and comfortable to boot. Thanks to its integrated microphone and remote control, the earTones will be able to hook up to your iPhone, iPad, iPod, Mac and other supported gadgets to deliver audio in/out, not to mention the ability to remotely answer and end calls, as well as control music and video playback.

We do understand that some of us are pretty paranoid about the cleanliness of our gizmos, and carry a bottle of sanitizer around with us wherever we go just to be on the safe side. The new earTones by iSkin will definitely appeal to those in that category even more since it features Microban, a kind of antimicrobial product protection that is applied on both the ear buds and the microphone so that the growth of fungus, odor- and stain-causing bacteria is inhibited. Needless to say, this is the first product of its kind that will feature such advanced integrated protection.

When it comes to comfort, each pair of earTones boast lightweight materials and soft-tipped earbuds with FlexFit, an industry-first flexible neck which paves the way for the earbuds to flex when inserted into the ear for maximum comfort. Whenever it is connected to iOS devices like the iPad 2, earTones will deliver pristine audio for all games, videos and music applications.

Any apps that support audio input will also allow the earTones to function as a microphone for recording audio, empowering it with voice commands and VoIP headset capability. When it is in iPod mode, you are able to start, stop and skip between music tracks. Apart from that, the earTones will also function with the voice control feature on iPhone and iPod touch, letting users issue voice commands using the integrated mic.

Aircell smartphone | Aircell announces world's first 'airborne smartphone'

Making calls while you’re in the air is something that most of us try to avoid – after all, we’re told to turn off our electronic devices especially cell phones since they are said to interrupt with the aircraft’s communication systems, so the other alternative if you have a really desperate call to make would be to swipe your credit card and make taht really, really expensive phone call.

The next time you want to do so, why not do it in style with the Aircell? This is the first inflight smartphone of its kind in the world, where the next-generation cabin handset was specially designed for business aircraft. Hmmm, sounds as though normal economy class folk won’t be seeing it in action anytime soon. Anyways, enough ranting, let us take a closer look at what the Aircell offers in the extended post.

First of all, the Aircell smartphone will boast intuitive, menu-driven features, letting passengers place and receive voice calls aboard business aircraft in a way that is as easy and convenient as one would do whenever they have their feet firmly planted on the ground while holding a smartphone in their hand. It will run on the popular Android OS platform that will certainly mean you might even get Angry Birds installed on it to keep you occupied apart from the usual movies that they show in the small screen in front of you.

Other groundbreaking capabilities of the new Aircell smartphone includes the best voice quality in aviation, a bright, color touchscreen display that is touted to be the largest in the aviation industry where a telephony device is concerned, Bluetooth connectivity for a hands-free operation, an ingenious design for interchangeable wireless or wired operation, and integrated audio jack for wired headsets & earbuds among others. Expect the new Aircell smartphone to ship from late 2011 onwards, so your company’s business jet probably won’t see this upgrade just yet.

Spice Popcorn Projector M9000 | Price, Features,

Spice has come up with a new kind of phone – one that is capable of projecting images from it to a flat surface elsewhere, freeing you of the task to tote around another projector in the process. We would say that inventions like this are more novel than practical, since it is going to do a number on your battery life, and you can’t really project anything that is high resolution due to hardware limitations. Still, let us not sideline the Popcorn Projector M-9000 phone since this is one of their initial efforts, so all encouragement should be given.

We do know that this handset is capable of displaying large images from a short distance, and throwing images isn’t the only thing which it is capable of. The handset will also come with various features including an FM radio, a TV antenna for your mobile TV needs (subject to area and reception, we presume), and a document viewer – enough to peruse through some work documents, but definitely unable to modify that Word doc or Excel spreadsheet.

The phone will also come equipped with a 2.4” QVGA display and a 3.2-megapixel digital camera, where you can view streaming content or display content that is saved on a T-flash memory card. The card slot itself is able to handle capacities of up to 16GB, and it does seem as though the phone will arrive in India first for RS 6999 (that is roughly $155 in American dollars) with no mention of a Stateside rollout.

Bluetooth Headset Camcorder | Ideal for Android Smart phone and others

A Bluetooth headset is pretty much commonplace, and more or less everyone who owns a cell phone has one of these in their pockets, at home, or dangling right outside their ear. The next time you see someone wearing something that is not quite like a Bluetooth headset, and yet isn’t a hearing aid, you might want to ask him/her whether this is theBluetooth Headset Camcorder or not.

This unique Bluetooth headset will not only record, but can transmit video over to a smartphone device. Of course, you can forget about living the High Definition life with this since it will shoot video at 480p resolution at 30 fps, which should be good enough for spy videos and to collect incriminating evidence of your adversary with but a glance.

Wirelessly transmitting an MPEG4 recording to an iPhone or Android smartphone, your smartphone will function as the viewfinder as you position your head to properly align the camcorder with your field of vision. All recorded video will be instantly shared via e-mail, either that or you can opt to post them on Facebook or Youtube with but a single button press. Seems to be the perfect toy for James Bond junior at a rather hefty $199.95.

Nokia’s Windows Phone 7 Concept Phone; The First Outcome Of The Giant Collaboration

In case there is any doubt, Nokia’s CEO Stephen Elop insists that Windows Phone 7 handsets are being developed at this very moment. However, release date has been pushed back to 2012.

Talking amid rumors that Microsoft and Nokia might actually be into acquisition talks, CEO Stephen Elop dismissed these claims, saying that production of a new Windows-based phone would be impossible in such a scenario. Instead, Windows Phone 7 handsets are currently in development, and the company plans to finish development within the year.

Elop clarified that the partnership agreement with Microsoft is still being ironed out at this point, which is expected to be finalized in a few months. For now, Nokia plans to get with the program, and focus on delivering its promise of a WP7 phone by year end. It still has to focus on the low-end spectrum of the mobile market, which is targeted at emerging markets, and comprises about 50% of Nokia’s business.

Again, Nokia’s CEO confirms they are building a WP7 phone, and that these will be out by 2012.

Galaxy Player VS iPod Touch

With two different versions of Samsung's Android-based music player headed to the US soon, we compare the Galaxy Player vs. the iPod Touch to see whether Samsung has a shot of ousting Apple.

The iPod Touch has owned the personal media player market since its introduction in 2007, and with Microsoft allegedly yanking the Zune from the market, it’s time for the new kid in town to challenge Apple’s media player. We have high hopes for the Samsung Galaxy Players, which we found out yesterday will finally be coming to the US. They have all the makings of a good iOS rival: running Android, built by a respectable company, and an existing following for the Galaxy branding.

Bear in mind, Samsung hasn’t released full details of the device quite yet (including one very important one: pricing), but we’ve taken it upon ourself to draw up some initial impressions of how the two media players will compare.

Wilson Sleek boosts your smartphone antenna

A signal-boosting antenna for smartphones from Wilson.

The Sleek is designed for use with an automobile. It comes with an antenna that suction cups to the car roof and communicates with the cellular site. It also includes another amplifier that works like a cellular phone cradle, and is powered by through the cigarette lighter that boosts the signal to and from a cell site.

Wilson’s Sleek connects to the smartphone with a mini USB cable, so it will power the cell phone while you are driving. With the help of a Bluetooth headset or a smartphone on speaker, you can have a long conversation for a long drive through “dead zones”.

I wish I had a chance to try this out on some long distance trip. Recently, I drove from Las Vegas to Salt Lake City, and I talked on the phone most of the way there. I was surprised that I had clear reception on my Droid X Android phone and didn’t cut out, even though there isn’t much in between those major cities.

If you have a long drive ahead of you through “nowhere”, you might want to get this Wilson Sleek, you should be able to purchase it on Amazon for about $79.99, marked down from $129.95.

Nokia E6-00 leaked – the first unofficial images

The images  and specs of the unannounced Nokia E6-00 have been leaked. It appears to be an updated version of the Nokia E71. The E6-00′s launch at the Mobile World Congress 2011 is set to overshadow a number of other Nokia launches, including the X7-00 and the N9.

From the little information that could be extracted at that moment I could only conclude that we are dealing with an 8 MP camera  with dual LED flash, front-facing videocall camera and runs Symbian^3.  The first unofficial image with Nokia E6-00 are not as we expected the phone to be. Instead of a generously sized touch screen we have a smaller version, which leaves room for a QWERTY-style keyboard found on the E71 and E72 models. It’s hard to say if the resolution is really the VGA previously announced, but the screen size and format does not exclude this possibility.

Verbatim Wireless Bluetooth Mobile Keyboard for iPad and iPhone

The iPhone and iPad are pretty darn fine devices in their own right, otherwise how else are you able to explain the phenomenal sales figures of both, alongside frenzied lines that form with the release of each device, what more the iPad 2? This just goes to show how popular Apple products are throughout the world, and that is certainly an opportunity for other third party accessory manufacturers to churn out accessories to go with your iOS-powered devices.

Verbatim, being a name that is more often than not associated with storage devices, are now back with their Wireless Bluetooth Mobile Keyboard for both the iPad and iPhone. Makes perfect sense, and chances are business oriented folks will be picking this up since they would most probably find it to be rather challenging to churn out a business document in record time using nothing but a touchscreen display interface and virtual keyboard.

Shipping to retailers nationwide, the Wireless Bluetooth Mobile Keyboard for iPad and iPhone was specially designed to work with Bluetooth-enabled iPads and iPhones. Coming in an extremely slim form factor, this foldable keyboard will be able to deliver a far more familiar typing method to both iPad and iPhone users, as it makes it a whole lot easier to compose e-mails and other important documents using their touchscreen devices.

Apart from that, the keyboard’s media console can also play, pause and control iTunes music directly without missing a beat. As mentioned earlier, its form factor makes it a snap to tote around, and when folded, you can stuff it in just about any pants pocket. Each $79.99 purchase will be accompanied by a premium carrying case and iPhone stand, where the latter is a snap to slide away and stored into the keyboard body itself, doubling up as a convenient way of doing things while offering protection simultaneously.

Just make sure you have enough AAA batteries to go along with the Wireless Bluetooth Mobile Keyboard.

Look out Apple iPad, here comes Iris by Asus

Apple figured out a long time ago that they could make a single gadget that supposedly does everything with the iPhone and the iPad. Asus takes that idea and gives it a quantum leap forward with the Isis.

The Isis depends on a lot of technology that either needs to be seriously improved or hasn’t been invented yet. Clearly, it believes that holography is just going to get better and better as this thing can project a sky on your ceiling with twittering birds to wake you up.

Of course, holographic tech will probably be like that in a few, I don’t know, decades? The tech that I found most fascinating is the Isis is able to somehow grow and shrink by simply stretching it. This technology can make the Isis become a watch, phone, e-reader, or PC screen all-in-one. Watch the video of this that was displayed by ElectricPig at CeBIT.

I don’t know if we are looking at the near or far future when we would see an Iris kit with all the accessories like the alarm clock stand and wristband. I’m sure it would cost quite a lot, at first.

Apple, are you listening? Asus is trying to do some serious moving in on your “app for everything” business model. Seriously, this could turn Steve Jobs into Steve Jobless.

Samsung Galaxy Indulge joins the 4G LTE family

Samsung intends to expand their Galaxy (range of phones, that is) with the latest addition, the Samsung Galaxy Indulge. It is rather interesting to note that this latest release will not arrive on any of the big four carriers, but rather, will be made available to MetroPCS, one of the smaller players over in the US. Still, that doesn’t detract from the fact that the Galaxy Indulge is one of the world’s first commercially available 4G LTE enabled Android smartphone.

MetroPCS’ main selling point that will accompany the Galaxy Indulge is this – it costs around half that of other 4G smartphone where service plans are concerned, as consumers are able to “have it all”, so to speak, with MetroPCS’ $50 and $60 4G LTE smartphone service plans, where it will comprise of all applicable taxes and regulatory fees.

If you happen to talk a whole lot, text as well as browse the Internet on your smartphone, enjoy streaming audio, video and gaming content, downloads and Android applications, then this does sound like the perfect plan for you – although we’re not too sure whether the coverage of MetroPCS is going to jive with you or not.

Running on the Android 2.2 Froyo operating system, the Galaxy Indulge is touted to be the perfect smartphone for folks who want to manage every aspect of their lives from a mobile device. MetroPCS’ 4G LTE service is more than capable of delivering the latest exclusive entertainment and multimedia content from their favorite shows through the MetroSTUDIO application.

With more than 100,000 apps to choose from from the Android Market, you’re spoilt for choice. Of course, it goes without saying that Samsung has skinned the Galaxy Indulge with their very own TouchWiz enhancements to make navigation around the device’s home screens a whole lot easier compared to the vanilla Android user interface. In addition, the combination of touch screen/QWERTY keyboard lets you choose which mode you’re more comfortable with – I personally prefer the latter, of course.

Other hardware specifications include a 1GHz processor, access to Google Mobile services, a 3 megapixel camera and camcorder with auto-focus, music player, Stereo Bluetooth connectivity and a microSD memory card slot. Expect it to hit MetroPCS stores later this week for $399.

MobiWire has new S:PHONE that offers unprecedented data security

MobiWire has recently announced a new range of secure business phones which come with embedded security for voice, SMS, data and on-device encryption. We are pretty sure that this would have business associates high up sit and take notice – after all, the secure voice phone and secure data smartphones would be among the first of their kind in the world, delivering fully integrated protection against stolen terminals, eavesdropping of voice and SMS, and data theft through attacks via Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connections.

Powered by the Android operating system, this secure phone solution was co-developed with secure communications specialists ERCOM following a strategic partnership that was announced last December.

Needless to say, these devices will cater mainly for corporations and government organisations, where they form part of a full security solution which delivers secure data access to corporate servers, where among them include email, intranet and file servers. There is also a “Trusted Market” on-device app store that takes over the public Android Market store, offering a secure and private market of trusted applications that have been certified and approved by an enterprises corporate IT team.

Also known as the S:PHONE devices, they are based on the Cryptosmart embedded security engine from ERCOM while playing nice with MobiWire’s patented User Interface software, Core UX. Its internal security is so tough, it cannot be removed from the device or tampered with. You can sleep easy knowing its high grade encryption of local data and signature algorithms will keep all your precious data within safe and sound.

The Cryptosmart encryption engine comes in the form of a Cryptosmart microSD memory card, a Cryptosmart CardManager for PC, and a Cryptosmart Gateway that is hosted behind the corporate firewall. Said gateway will deliver a secure interface with the corporate PBX system, intranet and mail servers and the private Trusted Market store of applications owned and trusted by the IT department. Don’t expect this puppy to look as sleek as the iPhone 4 though if you prefer style over substance…

MetroPCS teams up with Snoop Dogg for Samsung Galaxy Indulge

Rappers are one of the better businessmen out there, after all they tend to drive those flashy big cars, cruising around town with a couple of birds in the back seat, wearing a whole lot of bling while boasting of an earning power which would put a small nation’s GDP to shame. Well, guess when it comes to money, it is never enough for most people.

One of the more famous rappers to have graced this planet would be Snoop Dogg, and here he is teaming up with MetroPCS (one of the smaller mobile carriers in the US), introducing the recently announced Samsung Galaxy IndulgeT, which holds the distinction of being the world’s first commercially available 4G LTE Android smartphone, where it is offered only with 4GLTE service from MetroPCS.

According to Snoop Dogggg, “It feels good to be working with MetroPCS and Samsung for the launch of the Galaxy Indulge. I’m stepping it up to 4G’s so my phone can keep up with my demanding, always-connected lifestyle.” Now we don’t know if that is the gospel truth, or was it part of his endorsement plan, but at least there is one thing we do know – that hot dawg lives a demanding lifestyle, yo!

Of course, MetroPCS and Snoop Dogg has your money’s best interest in mind (that depends on how you see it), so they will be offering the 4GLTE smartphone service plans at around half the cost of other carriers’ 4G smartphone service plans if you decide to shop around. Both $50 and $60 plans will include all applicable taxes and regulatory fees, not to mention MetroPCS’ unmatched value with unlimited talk, text and 4GLTE Web page browsing.

Feel free too to enjoy unlimited data access (this is also pretty subjective, there is usually a cap before they throttle your line) to streaming audio, video and gaming content, downloads and Android applications on the Galaxy Indulge. If you were looking for a new smartphone that is supposedly blazing fast, tearing up the performance charts, the Galaxy Indulge might be worth a peek.

80′s Retro Phone Case

If you’re one who tends to be the life of the party and love playing practical jokes on others, might we recommend you sneak in your iPhone 4 into the 80′s Retro Phone Case? For just £12.99, you will definitely attract the attention of everyone at the next social event not because you have the fabled white iPhone 4, but because your handset hails back to the 1980s.
Available for pre-order, it is scheduled for delivery on April 14th 2011 (which means you will miss out on April Fool’s this year), and turns your modern handset into a classic, brick-style phone which works great to hit a thief over the head or break open crab claws to get to its succulent meat inside. This isn’t waterproof though, and we don’t recommend you bring this to your next job interview unless you’re working for Baronbob.

Motorola ATRIX 4G announced

Motorola’s upcoming Android 2.2 Froyo-powered handset, the ATRIX 4G, is set to light up the smartphone world – that’s a given, and we are pleased to bring you news of its availability while it is hot off the press. Available for pre-sales a day before Valentine’s (that is February 13 just in case you do not own a calendar), it will cost you as much as other high-end Android-powered smartphones, that is, $199.99 with a two-year service agreement.

Expect the Motorola ATRIX 4G to soften the blow of losing the iPhone exclusivity deal with Apple for AT&T, as it will hit the market on March 6th this year, and hopefully good sales will follow and boost up their earnings in that particular quarter sometime down the road. Of course, you can also expect AT&T to bundle pricing for the Motorola ATRIX 4G and the Motorola Laptop Dock.

The Motorola ATRIX 4G Android 2.2 smartphone is an AT&T exclusive, and is touted to be the most powerful smartphone in the world when it hits the markets, sporting a 2×1 GHz dual-core processor that delivers a theoretical total of 2GHz of processing power. Apart from that, it also has the world’s first qHD display, alongside built-in Flash support with its Adobe Flash player to make this a multimedia powerhouse.

Apart from that, it will be complemented by breakthrough accessories which will comprise of a revolutionary, super-thin Motorola Laptop Dock, where the ATRIX 4G’s heart is the “engine”. As for the Motorola HD Multimedia Dock, it will rely on the ATRIX 4G’s HDMI video output capabilities and processing power to enable a revolutionary browsing, application and media experience.

You can also take full advantage of the Motorola ATRIX 4G thanks to the included AT&T Mobile Hotspot service that lets you connect additional Wi-Fi-enabled devices right on the spot, so expect to have more friends hang around you just to take advantage of your 4G connection.
