Review: HTC Jetstream a tablet to beat
As competitors aim to crack into the tablet market with a serious, full-featured iPad competitor, HTC has a worthy device with its latest offering, the Jetstream.
To be honest, the company’s previous attempt was sort of like a warm-up lap. The Flyer worked, but it didn’t blow you away with its small screen and somewhat dated software setup.
The Jeststream is the complete opposite.

Behind the design of HTC phones and tablets
Many people buy things based on their design – whether its clothing or a smartphone - the way an object’s lines flow, curve and turn trigger emotions that make people desire them.
After taking a look at the HTC Flyer, it’s clear that a whole lot of design went into it. It doesn't top the spec charts in other areas.

Review: HTC Desire HD
The invasion of new Android phones in Canada continues with the latest offering from HTC, the Desire HD.
The arrival of my review unit came just as I went out west on a ski vacation – giving me an opportunity to put the phone through its paces.
This handset packs one of the largest screens on the market – checking in at 4.3 inches. It’s big, bright and gorgeous – reminding me of the screen available on the Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant.

According to Reuters, about 32.9 million Android phones were sold in the last quarter of 2010. That’s seven times more than a year ago, and a couple million more than Symbian’s 31 million.
