If you can somehow see through the Honeycomb hysteria going on currently, you'll notice that another Android 2.2 tablet was released today.  The Dell (DELL) Streak 7" tablet on T-Mobile is notable because it is the first to use a 4G network (quite well, I might add) and has a dual-core Nvidia Tegra processor, the same processor all of the fancy phones and tablets are going to MORE

Something that Google doesn't explain explicitly, is that with Voice you can MORE

More talk of smartphones diving into featurephone ground

...and Google is well positioned to get this un-tapped market.

The talk this week will be of AT&T (T) iPhone users moving over to Verizon (VZ), but the bigger trend for 2011 will be the migration of featurephone users to inexpensive smartphones with cheap, limited data plans.  Along with inexpensive phones, data plans need to drop.

A tale of two Android phones: T-Mobile MyTouch 4G and Virgin Intercept

The carrier makes all the difference.

I received two separate Android phones this week to evaluate and I thought it would be interesting to put them up against one another even though they are aimed at different audiences.  The MyTouch4G from T-Mobile is an HTC phone running Android 2.2 with a nice candy bar form factor 3.7 inch screen, front-facing camera with a zippy processor and a strong metal shell (that also brings MORE
