Apple iPhone event: Remembering Apple’s biggest product failures | Palmtop Computer

Sure, it’s a niche device. But it’s great! Dual-window multitasking is a blast on the Gemini, and that command line is going to thrill coders and geeks. But … I can’t shake the idea that this is almost too good to be true. The Gemini is currently rolling out from Indiegogo, where it costs $399 for the next two weeks; it’ll be $599 at retail after that, and it arrives in March. We’ll see if that happens, and if the device works when it does.

If you’re in the market for a top-end 2-in-1 Windows 10 detachable, the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Tablet should be on your list.

This SoC is outshone by the latest Snapdragon designs, but unless you must have the fastest possible phone, it’s more than enough power to drive this device.

Pokémon was a massive phenomenon when it hit the Game Boy in 1998. The mega-popular monster-catching RPG seemed like it was made for the handheld. And in some ways, it was. Pokémon designer Satoshi Tajiri liked how the Game Boy Link Cable connected two of the consoles together.

There is a lot about the Unihertz Atom that really bolsters its appeal, as outlined above. In particular, it would be a great handset for those who don’t necessarily need a smartphone taking up room in their pocket or for those who don’t want their device to become a distraction. Android phones are already very portable but the Atom also excels on that front. It can quite literally be placed in a pocket and forgotten about until its needed and that’s not a bad thing at all. On the other hand, it will do just about anything a full-sized smartphone will when it needs to. The audio quality isn’t great, the camera’s not perfect, and the screen is far too tiny to be any use for those with larger hands or poor eyesight but those aren’t really the focus here. Instead, the Atom aims to be durable and functional without getting in the way and that’s precisely what it does.

It looks kind of like a toy, but it doesn’t feel like one. The rubberized plastic, textured back, and shock-absorbing corners are comfortable to hold and feel secure. It isn’t even a bit slippery! I wasn’t as worried about dropping it (never did), and its IP68 certification means exposing it to the elements shouldn’t be an issue either.

All these devices are designed for those with active lifestyles and can handle immersion in water and dusty environments. The price of the P8 is relatively low, but does it still represent good value for money?

Benchmarks do not always fairly represent any given piece of hardware though and that is certainly the case here. Although the display size is such that it really makes almost no sense to download anything with lots of on-screen controls, we were able to run through a dozen or so races on Asphalt 9: Legends with no signs of lag in sight. The main driving method in that game is fairly hands-off, making for a great experience — setting aside the very low screen resolution and the need for the smartphone to be held as near the face as comfortably possible. Other apps such as Helix Jump were not quite so much fun due to the need to swipe across the screen, blocking almost the entire view and making accurate play impossible. To the contrary, using intensive photo editing apps like Prisma or Pixlr was equally smooth and similarly only hampered by the scale of the viewing real estate. So using this smartphone just like any other isn’t completely out of the question under the majority of circumstances for those who won’t be bothered by the tiny display.
