CES 2013 was many things: a beacon of hope offering tons of potential for the new year in tech; a smorgasbord of cool devices and odd offerings to drool over; and, to hardware-hungry mobile mavens like me, something of a disappointment overall. Still, there was enough newsworthy content for the Pocketnow team to generate over 30 videos packed with mobile-tech reporting. And in the process of shoving all those frames into the YouTubes, we became well-acquainted with the constraints of mobile data networks. Amid the throng of over a hundred thousand people trying to do the exact same thing ...

Doing a behind-the-scenes of CES 2013 is as crazy as the thought of covering the event. That said, we did take some time to film ourselves as we filmed stuff for you. Whether it was running down the trade show or figuring out where we left the car in one of the biggest parking lots in the world, we've got it all on film. In our first episode of Pocketnow Insider we go through the various challenges and solutions that we faced in order to bring you the best coverage for the largest show in tech. As you expected, not everything went right at CES, and if you think of how bad it is to pack a ...

CES 2013 was crazy and boy do we have video to prove it! If you think it all goes right on the first take, you’d be surprised. Sure we could just get tongue-twisted, continue talking, and make our videos just like everybody else’s, but we strive to make each of our videos worthy of the time you invest in watching them. Sometimes we get it right the first time, sometimes after the third or second try, and some footage just misses the final cut completely because it was plain-out terrible! In our second episode of Pocketnow Bloopers we focus on some of our fun moments at CES 2013. Now it ...

This year's Consumer Electronics Show from Las Vegas has come and gone. As usual, we've been both on-site bringing you coverage from events as well as the show floor, and here on Pocketnow, keeping you up to date with what's going on in the mobile world. For some the show has been excellent; for others it has been a letdown. We can't compare CES to a specialized mobile event like MWC (maybe with IFA); still, our experience from past years has taught us to expect certain things to happen at CES. They might or might not have happened in a straightforward way but there was a lot of innovation ...

Veni, vidi, vici! We were looking forward to CES 2013, pretty much like we're always looking forward to trade shows where there's a possibility of seeing new and exciting things from and related to the mobile world. Good or bad as it was, this year's Vegas show is just one of many to come and, probably the biggest problem related to CES is the fact that it is followed shortly by MWC, a show related to mobile and only mobile. We're seeing companies slowly moving away from shows to announce their gadgets, following Apple's lead, but even those companies who are show-centric have probably ...

Huawei put on a pretty nice CES showing, and even managed to get us a bit excited about some of what it has planned for the future. We had already heard that the company was coming out with its own A15-based SoC later on this year, and now the company's Consumer Business Group CEO, Richard Yu, adds that Huawei has its eye on an eight-core chip, just like we recently saw Samsung announce. Besides being an eight-core design, the only other detail that's been shared so far is that the chip would use A15 cores. We don't yet know if that means that half the cores would be A15s, like in the ...

Archos has a reputation for making some inexpensive electronics of decent quality, and it's using its expertise in that field to release four new budget-priced Android tablets that make up its Titanium line. With dual-core 1.6GHz SoCs, these tablets aren't going to be the fastest things around by a long shot, but at least they're equipped with modern software, all running Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, and there sure are a lot of options, all with low price points. The lineup consists of the 70, 80, 101, and 97 Titanium models, representing 7.0, 8.0, 10.1, and 9.7-inch tablets. The first three ...

When Damian Dinning left the company many were left wondering just what will happen to the imaging capabilities of future Nokia phones. Under Dining the Finnish manufacturer released two PureView branded products, the Nokia 808 PureView and the Nokia Lumia 920. Despite what we've been told about PureView after MWC -- the 41-megapixel camera, sensor, lens, software, the entire system as a whole -- how it worked and what exactly it was, with the addition of the Lumia 920, Nokia started slowly shifting focus up to a point where the current head of imaging at Nokia, Juha Alakarhu, tells us we ...
