TABLET TUMBLE:

Spec check: Unfortunately, the Evo View currently runs on 2.3 ("Gingerbread"), which is optimized for rather than tablets. Sprint that it will push out the tablet-centric Android 3.0 ("Honeycomb") to the Evo View as soon as it can. That issue aside, the Evo View boasts some impressive specs, including a 1.5GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, 32GB of internal memory and HTC Scribe Technology that lets users take advantage of "enhanced voice-synchronized note taking with the HTC Scribe digital pen to capture the audio of a meeting at the same time as written notes." The tablet's 7-inch screen is smaller than those on the iPad and Motorola Xoom, but it still has a strong resolution (1024x600 pixels).

What it is: A smartphone that purports to offer users "a glasses-free 3D experience."

Why you should care: Although 3D televisions have yet to set the market on fire, it will be interesting to see how users react to a smartphone that can apparently offer 3D viewing without having to wear annoying 3D glasses. According to Sprint, the phone features "dual 5 megapixel cameras" that "can be used to capture both high-quality conventional and stunning 3D video images." While such a promise might make you skeptical, the gadget review gurus over at the have played around with it and have dubbed it "amazing" and said that it reminded them of "looking at a holographic trading card." If the Evo 3D can really deliver on that level, it could be a massive hit.
