Moto X tethering on AT&T unlimited plan

Has it been determined that there is no way to get tethering to work (e.g., using FoxFi) on the Moto X with unlimited AT&T plan?

Bit that reviewers often miss when discussing "optimal" screen size of a smartphone

Surprisingly many reviewers forget this bit when discussing optimal screen sizes on mobile devices, including Anand in the latest review of the Moto X: people's hand sizes differ by a significant amount, with the standard deviation in the US being about 15% (assuming hand size is roughly...

Google Chromecast

Thanks for the answers guys. Here's another question, do you think the Chromecast would work with 720p resolution? I'm thinking of getting a projector with that res but can't find "supported resolutions" information.

Google Chromecast

I have another question about my impending TV purchase. What "Smart" features do I still need, and which ones are redundant given the Chromecast? Seems like YouTube and Netflix are made redundant by Chromecast. Which other features are still relevant? Are there any particular HDTV makers out...

Google Chromecast

I guess Google TVs have more processing power so maybe this can make some streaming applications smoother than Chromecast?

Google Chromecast

Thanks for the thoughts. The bit I still don't understand is what the point is of having a Google TV once one has a Chromecast. In other words, Google is talking about a compatibility update to make Chromecast work on a Google TV, but doesn't that just render the Google TV redundant?

Google Chromecast

I just want to clarify something: I don't have cable so am using this exclusively for Netflix and YouTube streaming and plan to use it for other services in the future (however no cable TV). Now here's something I don't understand: don't I *need* smart TV features to be able to use the...

Google Chromecast

Speaking of "the bigger the better", how about using an HD projector such as the Epson 8350 with Chromecast? Would that work?

LOL, very good. Do you think there's still a point to getting a Google TV device though, now that Chromecast exists and the ecosystem is growing?

Google Chromecast

If you had a choice between getting a 50 inch HDTV with Google TV built in, or getting a 55 inch HDTV without Google TV but for the same price and with the same IQ as the 50 inch TV, would you get the 50 incher or the 55 incher together with a Chromecast? I.e., any advantages of Google TV that...

Reasons to purchase GoogleTV instead of Chromecast?

Just wondering, is Chromecast replacing GoogleTV or are there still good reasons to purchase a GoogleTV, apart from the fact that the latter comes with a remote and it's own version of Android installed, so that one can in principle use it without a tablet/phone/laptop?

Google/Motorola's bizarre Moto X rollout failure.

Google could have revolutionized the industry. The promise was hardware that is not quite as good as others but practically good enough for everyone, yet offers freedom from contracts and the prospect of upgrading more often without shady schemes like "Next" and "Jump", for a ownership price...

Moto X (Is Out) [8.01.2013]

Please tell us what this phone has that justifies a *three times higher* price than the new Nexus 7. Please go ahead.

Moto X (Is Out) [8.01.2013]

The pricing is a friggin joke. I'd have happily overlooked the worse specs when compared to the One or S4, but given that it is the same price? Ridiculous.

Iphone 4 or wait for Iphone 5

Hate to be mean but if you don't even know that the iPhone 5 has been out for many months you really should not waste any money on the better tech (since you wouldn't be able to appreciate it anyway) and donate it to charity instead.

Samsung Galaxy S4 Active

What we really need is somebody verifying or falsifying the Engadget report of much worse battery life due to the LCD display. If they're right this is a big disadvantage. If they're wrong, the increased brightness of the Active's screen outdoors is a big plus.

T-Mobile upgrade your phone twice a year (T-Mobile Jump)

What's the deductible with the insurance included in the $10/month Jump plan? I have a $180 deductible with AT&T, which is pretty high I think.

T-Mobile upgrade your phone twice a year (T-Mobile Jump)

Actually it isn't only like new but brand new. A warranty replacement for the one whose battery died. Decided this would be a good time to sell. Don't be so judgmental dude. The one thing I'm trying to understand about the JUMP thing is how it can be profitable for Tmobile. Are they selling...

T-Mobile upgrade your phone twice a year (T-Mobile Jump)

I think you're being far too optimistic about the re-sale value of these phones. I for one am trying to sell a like-new (literally not a single scratch) HTC One X, which 6 months ago was the HTC flagship phone, for $150, and can't. You however also beautify the process of selling a phone. It...
