HTC EVO 4G $200, On Sale June 4th

Sprint's first 4G smartphone, the EVO 4G, will go on sale on June 4th for $200 after a mail-in rebate (the full price is $450, but if you grab one from Best Buy, you'll get the discount applied when you buy). The Android-powered WiMAX ...

Senh: Looks just like the HD2, except with a better camera and operating system (Android). The only negative is that Sprint will be charging a monthly fee for tethering or using your device as a wifi hotspot, which you can currently get for FREE on Windows Mobile 6.5. If you think you're gonna be using this feature often, then I would stick with the HD2. Although tethering/wifi-hotspot is nice, I find that I actually don't use it much. Most of the time, I only use it as a backup in case my internet access goes down.

Since I already use my HD2 to pick stores to feature on the site, I thought wouldn't it be nice if I could also do some coding with it.

Is voice becoming the new text (again)?

The idea that people should be able to talk to computers, and that the computers should understand what we're saying, has been coming in and out of vogue since the 1970s. The technology never really went mainstream, though, and to this day, it's often talked about as a joke.
