No Skype For You, Thunderbolt!

Yup, supposedly the HTC Thunderbolt will not be receiving Skype. Now that's what I call an LTE phone. Nice isn't it? Not. Luckily, in the future it will be receiving some kind of video chat. Yay! Everyone's happy. 
From: [redacted]
Subject: *INFO* ThunderBolt by HTC – Training Documents
To:
The ThunderBolt by HTC trainings have been updated and replaced in InfoCenter.
The Skype Mobile with Video references have been removed.
Geek.com suggest that Skype could not put QIK into their software.


 The Thunderbolt isn't a full fledged 4g LTE device. Huh? You heard me, it uses  the 4g network for data. Phone calls will still be on the original CDMA network. Bummer. Looks like in the phone world 2 strikes and your screwed.
So now that means that the LG Revolution has the honor of being the first 4g Device. Wohoo!
After all this happened are you still going to buy this phone? Comment below.

Want Honeycomb? (For HTC Desire HD, Droid Incredible, and Evo 4g)


There's always a port for something, but sometimes you never know when it's gonna pop up. Today's your lucky day. You can get the latest version of the android OS on three devices! The well known HTC Evo, the awesome Droid Incredible, and the fast HTC Desire. It's all for a low price of free! The last three sentences have been jolly but the 5th sentence is going to make you have 2nd thoughts. As in most ports and roms there are the issues. Ahh yes, the issues. No one likes them but it'll take a while to fix.


Be careful not to screw up your device
I will not be responsible for any bricked or screwed up devices.

Nvidia's Superman (Kal-El)

Is that another processor I hear? Yes indeed it is the new Nvidia quad core processor. In a matter of a few months they already have a processor that's 5 times the power of the normal Tegra 2 and more powerful than the Core 2 Duo. 4 cores are powerful to run, well a lot of things so the battery should be exponentially long lasting.
Any experience such as web browsing, You Tube, or games should be pretty smooth. This is a major step for Nvidia processors because this powerhouse tablet, named Kal-E (Funny how thats superman's name, no I am not a comic geek) is coming in August, at least that's what Nvidia said. Look at the road map above. Statistically in 2014 Stark (Iron Man's Identity, still not a comic geek) has to be about 100 times the processing power of the Tegra 2. As messed up and impossible that sounds, they could do it. I mean when the Optimus 2x came out - January to when tablet Kal-El - August, is about 8 months, and that is an amazing feat. Maybe they can do it maybe not.What do you think? Comment below. (Wayne-Batman and Logan-Wolverine, still not a comic geek, okay just a little).
