T-Mobile USA to launch HTC Sensation on June 15, hits Wal-Mart ‘as early as June 12′

Posted by Ry on May 31 2011 | Technology

The foremost question in the hive mind of Android power users these days is typically whether to go with HTC's 1.2GHz, dual-core, 4.3-inch Sensation or the similarly specced Galaxy S II from Samsung. Of course, neither of those is actually out in the US yet, so if patience is not your favorite virtue, T-Mobile just made that decision for you. The carrier has announced it'll start selling the HTC Sensation from June 12th at Walmart stores, after which it'll be "exclusively" available on June 15th from T-Mobile retail stores. Think about it. Samsung's superphone shouldn't be too far behind, but it does look like T-Mo subscribers will get a good few weeks to familiarize themselves with Sense 3.0 before having to hear any gloating about Super AMOLED Plus displays and 8.49mm slimness. PR after the break.

Nokia N8 Pink gets creepy dismembered doll treatment, even more pink (video)

Posted by Ry on May 31 2011 | Technology

Earlier this month we were rather unimpressed with Nokia's rebranding of the N8 Symbian smartphone -- well, it seems someone took note. Because the promo video for the N8 Pink is anything but unimaginative. In fact, it's downright frightening. The video features a series of contorted Barbies dolls, prancing about in Lady Gaga-esque undergarments, with accompaniment by British girl group Sugarbabes. This is one marketing campaign we won't soon forget. For a glimpse at the disturbingly enthralling cotton-candy romp, check out the video after the break.

[Thanks, Dillan]

Google Adds Superstars, Nested Labels, and Advanced IMAP Controls to Gmail’s Settings [Upates]

Posted by Ry on May 31 2011 | Uncategorized

Three of our favorite Gmail Labs features have graduated and moved on to out-of-the-box Gmail. Superstars lets you assign different levels of stars to an email, making a killer to-do list based on priority; nested labels creates labels within labels, so you can organize your mail by sub-categories; and if you use a desktop mail client, you can now adjust which labels show up in your client and which don't. The Google Search Box lab has been removed altogether, since there's already a "Search the Web" button in Gmail. All features are available from Gmails' Settings page. Hit the link to read more.
