EVO 4G ■■■■□
Enter the first Android smartphone that's compatible with both 3G and 4G (even higher-speed) wireless networks. Boasting a 4.3-inch multi-touch display, 8MP digital camera, video recording capability, and options to briskly download music, video and photos, it may be just the trick for increasingly impatient users. Also capable of serving as a WiFi hotspot connectable to eight additional gadgets, the device is betting big on breezy Internet access and quicker download times. However, access to 4G networks is limited, and it remains to be seen how network coverage performs once the handsets are actually in thousands of users' grubby paws.

iMM190 App Station ■■■□□
Great, just what we need-another nagging pain in the ass urging us to get out of bed in the morning. Then again, there's no denying the usefulness of this thing: an iPod dock that also doubles as an alarm clock with weather updates when you download the App Clock program from iTunes. On the bright side, built-in speakers do give you reason to roll over without fists swinging, since you can also use it to blast favorite tunes and videos as well.
