  • The Lapdock was something Motorola first showed off to us back when the Atrix was announced, it also launched with the Droid Bionic. It was not really a great device. Not Motorola has decided to try again, this time adding a 14 inch more MacBook Pro style Lapdock 500 Pro to the line. The 500 has a much larger track pad, what appears to be a bettery keyboard and of course a larger 14 inch screen. No word on pricing yet. ~Zephaniah Washington. AGRS Editor-in-chief.

    Then new Motorola Lapdock 500 Pro.

  • It’s a few days late, but I’ve been having more then a few issues with my Mac lately. I still need a few more days before I type up the review, but here are my impressions of the device so far. It’s a really good phone. Pentile display is not too bad, and even at minimum brightness you can see it in sun light. Great feel in the hands, if you live in a 4G area your speed will be super fast. I don’t love the camera, I think it’s an issue with the stock camera app, I’ve just been using Light Box and it takes wonderful shots. Also, I’ve...

  • It’s been one long wait for the phone we saw back at CES 2011, but was it for the best? I think so. Shortly after we learned that the Bionic in it’s first form would be delayed, we saw leaked images of a device code named Targa, we knew then that this would be the Bionic, and now it is. You can order your Bionic online from Verizon for $299 with new 2/yr agreement, or $590 if you forgo said agreement. Or if you’re the Amazon type, you can head over to their mobile devision and pick up the “device to rule them all” for a cool $199 with a...

  • Looks like Verizon is gearing up for the Droid Bionic. As Big Red has done with every other major iteration of their line of Droid branded phones, Verizon has launched a “teaser” page for the Droid Bionic. We say finally because it has been over a year since we heard the name Bionic, for a while, a few of us even thought that the phone had been scrapped. The Bionic was supposed to be a near clone of the Atrix 4G on AT&T. Several months ago we heard that the design had been scrapped, in favor a much improved design. We the first glimpse of what the possible design might...

  • Sorry gents, you did read that right. Apple has finally gotten their “Buy a Mac for College” page up, but this time, the typical “Get a free iPod Touch” promotion has been replaced by a “Get $100 in purchases from the Mac App Store”. Now for some, this promotion will be great, seeing as so many people already own some sort of iDevice and don’t need another one, but if you were looking forward to grabbing yourself one with your next Mac purchase, maybe something to sell on Craigslist, you’re out of luck.

  • Upon the release of the iPad,  both the first and second iterations, many websites and people themselves were calling the device a giant iPod Touch. Those people had legitimate reasoning: It ran a very similar operating system to the iPhone and iPod Touch, and really didn’t have a lot more functionality. But one thing it did have was a higher resolution display and a much more complex and intense SDK, the latter which really made use of the screen real-estate the iPad had (and of course, still has). Go into the App Store, and it’s almost guaranteed that you’ll find applications for the iPad that its smartphone counterpart doesn’t have, such as a Photoshop extension...

  • The DROID X2 was actually supposed to land today, however we thought it might get pushed back like the Droid Charge, this was the case. According to Verizon, the Droid X2 will be launching May 26th with direct fulfillment orders starting on May 19th. This is not the most exciting phone in Verizon’s summer barrage, but it is certainly no slouch. The X2 is powered by a 1GHz Dual Core Tegra 2 processor, similar to the Motorola XOOM. We actually heard that rumor a few months ago, and I’m glad to see it fulfilled. Also in this “hummer” is a 8MP rear camera, 720p video capture, 1080p out, 8GB of...

  • Wow! What a fantastic couple of weeks it has been. Not only have we seen Apple’s prime software Final Cut Pro get an update, but a whole bunch of suing is going on too! A plus and a minus, if you ask me. Apple, in case you didn’t know, is suing Samsung. This is not surprising: Just take a gander at any Samsung Galaxy S device and it’s pretty clear where Apple is getting their angst from. More specifically, Samsung’s Galaxy S 4G  looks to be the target (just check out the comparison below). Back at the Final Cut Pro update, this is a wild update. Not only have they...
