Best 5 Easter Day Movies for Family


Time flies and now people have already begun to count down the upcoming traditional Easter Sunday. Yes, the highly-anticipated Easter Day holiday is approaching. It is the time that we celebrate the most important part of our Christian faith which is the "Resurrection of our Lord". Easter occurs on a different Sunday every year, but the message is always the same and the most important significance of Easter is in fact its religious spirit: honoring the life, death and resurrection of Jesus. It is a time for families to get together for Easter Sunday dinner and organize various games and activities especially for the festival. Some popular ones include Easter egg hunt, Easter egg decorating, egg rolls, arts and crafts, puzzles and so on. While celebrating Easter in its traditional way, people also prefer watching movies that relate to the holy festival of East.

In some way, sitting down and enjoying an Easter Movie would become the most popular and comfortable way to celebrate the new life and new beginning brought to us by Jesus’ resurrection. While there are not a lot of Christian Easter movies on the market, I have compiled a list of top 5 movies that have been favorites for many families on Easter weekend. If you can't decide which movie to watch on Easter, just browse my best pickings and make your choice!

(Tips: If you want to rip the Easter movies from DVD for playback on computer or some portable devices like iPad, PSP, Kindle Fire HD, Nexus 4, HTC One etc., a DVD ripper at just is the best solution. and with Total Media Converter Ultimate, burning the best Easter movies to DVD, converting videos among all popular formats, downloading YouTube and other online videos are all a breeze.)

Pieces of Easter (2013)

This is a new Easter holiday comedy from Kelly's Filmworks, starring Christina Karis and Jefferson Moore which is filled with whimsical Americana scenes that the whole family will love. It tells the story that an arrogant young executive is forced to rely on the assistance of a grizzled, reclusive farmer to get her home in time for the upcoming Easter holiday with her estranged family. An funny and independent holiday film to boost your special Easter this year.

The Passion of the Christ (2004)

Mel Gibson’s The Passion of the Christ provokes an extreme and deep reaction to the suffering and sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Gibson eschews the nice, complacent pieties and clean, bright visuals of many 1950s and 60s religious epics, yet retains the essential melodrama of the events. Ultimately, this is a deeply moving one to arouse your innermost heart!

The Gospel of John (2003)

Starring Henry Ian Cusick as Jesus and narrated by Christopher Plummer, the film was originally released in theaters in 2003. At times titled "The Visual Bible". It focuses on the life, death and resurrection of Jesus, offering a very human, intimate picture of the passion and compassion of Christ's three years of ministry.I highly recommend seeing this movie during the Easter weekend.

8.) Jesus of Nazareth (1977)

This Jesus film is highly rated as one of the best films on the subject of Jesus. It gives a full dramatic interpretation of Jesus' life from birth, teachings, death/crucifixion to resurrection. Robert Powell plays the role of Jesus and there are other well-known actors as well.

4.) King of Kings (1961)

This is a very old Jesus-themed film, what makes this it unique is the relationship between Jesus and Barabbas, who has been featured only as a minor character in other epic films about Jesus. Another remarkable feature of King of Kings is the actual crowd scenes at the Sermon on the Mount. In addition, Jeffrey Hunter plays the role of Jesus.

Some of above movies focus on the cultural side of Easter while others will be religious epics. Whatever your choice is, these 5 best Easter movies of all time are highly entertaining. Please let us know by commenting below if you know of any other good, clean family-friendly Easter movies. Wishing you a very lovely Easter ahead!

Samsung Galaxy S4 Vs Apple iPhone 5S

Last Thursday, Samsung released the new Galaxy S4 in New York's Radio City Music Hall. And rumors prior to the release of the new Samsung Galaxy S4 suggesting that it would outperform the Apple iPhone devices and help the South Korean tech giant maintain its winning run in the worldwide smartphone industry. But will the new Samsung flagship smartphone have any major effect on its fierce rival - the upcoming iPhone 5S? Here we will take a look at the crucial specs contrast between the two impressive devices:
                             
Measurements and weight:
Samsung Galaxy S4: 137x70x7.9 mm, 130g
Apple iPhone 5: Apple's iPhone 5 is one of the slimmest and most lightweight smartphones on the market. It features a design that is a mere 7.6mm thin and weighs only 112 grams. Rumors suggest that the iPhone 5S will keep the same design as the iPhone 5 which means that it could keep these measurements as well. It's undeniable the upcoming Apple iPhone5S is lighter and more small-hand friendly than the Samsung Galaxy S4.

Display:
Samsung Galaxy S4: 5-inch full HD super Amoled 1920x1080 display, 441 ppi
Apple iPhone 5S: Phone 5S will have a higher-resolution display than the iPhone 5, potentially based on the new IGZO (Indium Gallium Zinc Oxide) material. But whether iPhone 5S will compete with the new released Samsung Galaxy S4 is still a question.
                         
Processor:
Samsung Galaxy S4: 1.6 GHz octa-core processor
Apple iPhone 5S: The iPhone 5 uses an A6 chip, while the iPad 4 has a more advanced A6x chip. Apple's iPhone 5S is may step up to use this more advanced chip architecture. And we think the eight-core processor in the Galaxy S4 could be overkill.

Battery:
Samsung Galaxy S4: 2,600 mAh
Apple iPhone 5: The iPhone 5 does not feature a removable back which likely means that iPhone 5S owners will be stuck with the battery. The Galaxy S4's battery seems significantly bigger than the upcoming iPhone 5S's.

Software:
Samsung Galaxy S4: Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean
Apple iPhone 5S: While the iPhone 5 ushered in the era of iOS 6 with Apple Maps, Passbook and more, the iPhone 5S will more than likely arrive with the new iOS 7 on board. But I think picking which operating system is better is largely down to the individual user's personal preference as each of the two operating systems has its unique and innovative features.
                         
Camera:
Samsung Galaxy S4: 13MP rear, 2MP front
Apple iPhone 5S: Camera in the upcoming iPhone 5S is rumoured to be capable of taking "Super HD" pictures. In order to take snaps at that resolution it'll need to have at least a 13 mega-pixel camera.

Storage:
Samsung Galaxy S4: 16/32/64GB user memory + microSD slot (up to 64GB)
Apple iPhone 5S: 16/32/64GB internal
Both devices are available with multiple storage options. If you really want to store a lot of media, Samsung is offering up its new HomeSync product, which offers users 1TB of storage via a streaming server.

Connectivity:
Samsung Galaxy S4: GSM/GPRS/EDGE/HSPA+/4G LTE Cat 3; Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac, GPS, NFC, Bluetooth 4
Apple iPhone 5S: GSM/EDGE/HSPA+/HSDPA/LTE 4G; 802.11a/b/g/n Wi-Fi, 802.11n on 2.4GHz and 5GHz; Bluetooth 4; GPS
The upload and download of either device will depend on the network carrier and location of the user.
                               
Overall:
However, I think specs aren't always 100 percent accurate, which means it is impossible to know which is better till we've had more hands-on time with the iPhone 5S. Certainly the iPhone 5S is one of the S4's biggest potential competitor, its real enemy, which will appear in the second quarter of the year.

Expectation:
Samsung is understood to be anticipating sales of the new Galaxy S4 smartphone to be as high as 10 million handsets per month.

The Galaxy S III has a 4.8-inch screen, and the new Galaxy S4 will only be slightly bigger coming in at 4.99-inches – but offer a full 1920x1080p HD resolution.

4.2 Jelly Bean OS Confirmed?
Android 4.2 Jelly Bean complete with Google Now voice search, lockscreen widgets, expandable notifications, and much much more.

Is the Qualcomm/Exynos Processor Variants Confirmed?
The device will feature the Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 processor in its U.S. variant to provide more power and better multitasking, while "other markets" will feature the eight-core Exynos Octa 5 processor variant.
                                    
Greater Camera?
It’s being reported that the 13 megapixel camera on the Galaxy S4 will be the best mobile camera available, and their wide-angle 2.2 front shooter will be great for video chat and self portraits.

No Eye Scroll Until Later Version?
Samsung also notably filed patents for eye-tracking technology, one under the name "Eye Scroll" in the U.K. in January and another under "Samsung Eye Scroll" in the U.S. in February; however, the new sources suggest that eye scroll likely won't be seen until future versions of the phone release.

Sony Xperia Tablet Z vs. Google Nexus 10


Sony has recently released waterproof and quad-core equipped Xperia Tablet Z in U.S. and European markets. On considering its release, I bet most of you would throw Sony's Xperia Tablet Z into the Android fighting pit with the reigning champion: Google's Nexus 10. Want to know how the upcoming Sony Xperia Tablet Z stacks up against the top tablets on the market? Now you have come to the right place, below head-by-head spec comparison will give you much clue.

                        

Compare From The Outside: 
Display: The Sony Xperia Tablet Z has a 10.1 inch LED-backlit LCD that runs at 1920 by 1080 pixel resolution (also known as full HD or 1080p) and features a 224 PPI. However, the Google Nexus 10 uses the same 10.1-inch but Super PLS display that runs at the whopping resolution of 2560 x 1600 and showcases a pixel density of 299. franking speaking, with oh-so-amazing giant and vivid display, no matter you download YouTube videos to Sony Xperia Tablet Z or put YouTube video to Nexus 10 for watching, both tablets bring you extraordinary and wonderful video feast.
Verdict: The Google Nexus 10 display outshines Sony Xperia Tablet Z.

Design: The 10-inch Google Nexus 10 tablet features very rounded corners and a body made out of rubbery plastic which makes the tab seems more like a toy. As for the Sony Xperia Tablet Z, the most attractive one must be its dustproof and waterproof characteristic, and its aggressive, edge design and sleek build make the tablet the better looking of the two contenders.
Verdict: The Sony Xperia Z is more aggressive, dustproof and waterproof.

Size and Weight: The Sony Xperia Tablet Z measures 266 x 172 x 6.9 mm and weighs in at 495 g. And the Google Nexus 10 measures 263.9 x 177.6 x 8.9 mm and weighs 603 g. even though it is not the most compact tablet around, but we think most people will be okay with it.
Verdict: The Sony Xperia Tablet Z is noticeably slimmer and lighter than Google Nexus 10.
                       
Compare From The Inside:
Os: When it comes to operating system, The Xperia Tablet Z is equipped with Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean, and Nexus 10 carrys the lattest Android 4.2 Jelly Bean. An update to Android 4.2 is apparently in the works for Sony's device, however, currently the Nexus 10 is at a slight advantage as Android 4.2 is a bit quicker and has some extra features and interface tweaks which are quite beneficial.
Verdict: The Nexus 10 wins this round thanks to the priority at which it will receive new Android versions in the future.

Processor: On processor, the Xperia Tablet Z tends to impress with its QuadCore 1.5GHz Krait processor as opposed to Nexus 10's DualCore 1.7GHz Cortex A15 processor. Both processors are more than enough for almost anything you can throw at it. For example, once you download YouTube videos to Sony Xperia Tablet Z by falling back on Sony Xperia Tablet Z YouTube Downloader, watch the downloaded videos and simultaneously launch other apps, no hiccups will occur at all.
Verdict: the Google Nexus 10 has been proven to be a little bit faster, especially at the GPU level.

Camera: In terms of Camera, the Nexus 10 comes with a 5MP primary camera at a resolution of 2592Ñ…1936 pixels and an LED Flash plus 1.9MP secondary camera, but Sony gears it up with an 8MP primary camera with a picture quality of 3264×2448 pixels and 2.2MP secondary camera. Both come with 1080p video recording.
Verdict: Sony misses out on the LED flash but covers up with the higher resolution.

Memory: Both the tabs have a RAM of 2GB, but the Xperia Z comes only in a 32GB model whereas the Nexus 10 comes in 16GB as well as 32GB.That should not be a major problem as the Xperia Z comes with a microSD card slot that supports upto 64GB which is sadly not present on the Nexus 10.
Verdict: Sony wins hands-down in this section.

Network: The Google Nexus 10 completely disappoints as it does not have a provision for a SIM card which sadly means no 3G/4G LTE, but Sony Xperia Tablet Z has definitely hit it out of the park with provision for a microSim, enabling the device to use 3G and 4G LTE to its advantage.
Verdict: Sony Xperia Tablet Z excels Google Nexus 10 in this respect.

Video For Reference:


I think the Sony Xperia Tablet Z knocks out the Google Nexus 10 in most aspects from inside and outside. But will Sony live up to the expectation or will it be another dud like the Sony Xperia Tablet S? I guess only time will tell!

Battle of Quad-Core Giants: HTC One vs. Samsung Galaxy S3


Launched Feb. 19 in London and New York, the HTC one successfully grabbed everyone’s attention as the world's most anticipated Android high-end smartphone. Sporting a 4.7-inch display with full-HD resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels, a 1.7-gigahertz quad-core processor and a new "UltraPixel" camera that enables ultra-sharp photo shooting and video recording. Usually, the first question asked when a new phone is released usually has something to do with how it stacks against the competition. The hot-red Samsung Galaxy SIII, even has been around a while, it continues to be a great Android choice, thanks to its ultra-fast LTE data connection, fast performance, and over-sized screen. Now here is the question: will the forthcoming HTC One beat Samsung giant Galaxy S III? Alright, hope the below side by side specs comparison will give us some inspiration.


                        
Dimensions:
HTC One measures 137.4 x 68.2 x 9.3 mm and it weighs 143 grams, on the other hand, the Galaxy S3 is 136.6 mm tall, 70.6 mm wide and has a profile of 8.6mm, weighing 10 grams less than the HTC flagship.The HTC One is a hair taller, a smidge narrower, and a bit thicker than the Galaxy S III.

Display:
Even both feature a glass screen. The Samsung Galaxy S3's 4.8in 1,280 x 720 resolution (720p) panel, while sharp and a tenth of an inch larger, is no match for the HTC One's ultra-dense 4.7in 1,920 x 1,080 pixel (1080p) display.
When you play YouTube movies on HTC one and Galaxy S3, HTC One could deliver crisper and sharper image thanks to its relatively small size and high resolution screen.

Design:
In terms of design, the HTC One is a solid piece of aluminium, with beautifully machined edges and details. The Galaxy S3, by contrast, is made entirely of plastic, with rounded, tapered edges and chrome buttons.
                      
Processor:
Underneath the hood, the Galaxy S3 features a Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 1.5GHz dual-core CPU. The HTC One has it beat, though, thanks to its quad-core, next-generation Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 CPU.

Video Entertainment:
According to the official specs, HTC One supports 3GP, 3G2, MP4, WMV, AVI formats well, while Galaxy S3 recognizes videos on MPEG4, H.264. H.263, DivX formats. However both phones do not have DVD-drive installed, So, if you want to watch hi-def movies to Galaxy S3 or HTC One, you need to resort to a Video Converter, which could convert all kinds of videos to Galaxy S3 or HTC One recognized format video, so that you can play any movie on these two smartphones without any trouble. 

Operating System:
While both devices run using Google's latest Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich operating system, their user interfaces (UIs) and features are noticeably different. This is mainly because both Samsung and HTC have loaded the devices with their custom Touchwiz and Sense software, respectively.

Storage:
The HTC One has in-built storage options of 32 and 64 GB. Both these variants have considerably large amount of storage space but none of them have a micro SD card support. The Samsung Galaxy S3 provides in-built storage options of 16, 32 and 64 GB and also provide a micro SD card slot which supports cards of up to 64 GB.
                       
Camera:
HTC One packed a 4 ultrapixels rear camera that promises clearer and more vivid pictures compared to Samsung Galaxy S3's 8 megapixels shooter.

Battery:
HTC One has a 2300 mAh embedded rechargeable Li-polymer battery compared to Galaxy S3's 2100 mAh battery.

Video for your reference:


Do the above head-to-head specs contrast make you clear to find out the winner between HTC One and Samsung Galaxy S3? Either way I think most consumers would be pleased with either of these android devices, as all they are the masterpieces in high-end smartphone level.

LG Optimus G Pro vs Samsung Galaxy Note II


The highly-anticipated LG Optimus G Pro is now rocking the world like a hurricane, and since its official announcement back in January, this high-end smartphone has already drawn enough attention all around the world. But is the LG Optimus G Pro now the current king of phablets? And has LG managed to make it sufficiently tasty to fight with the versatile Samsung Galaxy Note II? I think it is still a tough question now, so I have made below head-to-head specs comparison for your reference. 
                   
Design: Both phones sport 5.5 inches displays, but the Optimus G Pro is lighter and more compact than Samsung's wide Note II, thanks to the minimum side bezel. LG has gone with a narrower, elongated chassis, which is easier for one-handed navigation.

Display: The two 5.5” screens aren't created equal, as the G Pro sports 401ppi density on account of the 1080x1920 pixels of Full HD resolution, whereas the Note II has 720x1280 display with 265ppi. When you rip DVD to Galaxy Note 2 for movie watching, the image even not crisper than G Pro, but still perfect for advanced visual satisfaction.

Camera: The Samsung Galaxy Note 2 sports an 8-megapixel autofocus rear camera with LED flash and a 1.9 megapixel front-facing camera. The LG Optimus G Pro seems to have an upper hand in this regard with a 13-megapixel autofocus camera with LED flash and 2.1 megapixel front-facing camera.

                          
Operating system: Samsung Galaxy Note 2 comes with Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean out-of-the-box, which can be upgraded to version 4.1.2. On the other hand, the LG Optimus G Pro runs on Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean.

Processor: Inside, the LG Optimus G Pro seems to be more responsive than the previous Optimus G thanks to the powerful 1.7 GHz quad-core Snapdragon 600 processor under the hood. The Samsung Galaxy Note 2, on the other hand, is powered by an Exynos 4412 quad-core Cortex-A9 processor, clocking at 1.6 GHz. But when you watch DVD movies on Galaxy Note 2, it is speedy enough for providing you a seamless and smooth high-def video enjoyment.

Memory: When it comes to memory, both the handsets equal each other with 2GB RAM and 32GB internal storage capacity. The storage capacity in Note 2, however, can be extended from 16GB to 64GB with the help of microSD card.
                             
Connectivity: The LG Optimus G Pro and the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 feature HSDPA, HSUPA and LTE connectivity. In terms of wireless local area network (WLAN), both the devices come with Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n, dual-band, Wi-Fi Direct, DLNA and Wi-Fi hotspot.

Battery: The Galaxy Note 2 has Li-ion 3,100mAh standard battery to provide long-time usage, thus it is a breeze to convert DVD to Galaxy Note 2 for ultra-long time enjoyment. While the LG Optimus G Pro features a removable Li-Po 3,140mAh battery, which according to LG, is "the largest battery capacity in its class" .

Check below video to have a visual reference:


The Galaxy Note 2 is one of Samsung’s most popular smartphones to date, and the LG Optimus Pro seems to be a remarkable phablet as it is lighter, faster and better than the Note 2. So price is the key factor to decide a winner of the two. Now buddies, just make your choice!

HTC One vs Apple iPhone 5 - Phone Specs Comparison

Taiwanese handset maker HTC unveiled its flagship HTC One smartphone in London and New York City a few weeks ago. And the Apple iPhone 5 has always be the leading smartphone since its first release. We are taking a look at the just announced HTC One and the iPhone 5 to see how HTC's flagship smartphone compares to one of the industry leaders.
                            
Design: The iPhone 5 and the HTC One looks slightly similar from the front thanks to the HTC One’s chamfered edges, but both phones offer a unique overall look and lust-worthy materials. Aluminum is used for the construction of both smartphones, which gives them a very solid, premium feel.

Size and Weight: The HTC One is thicker than the iPhone 5, measuring 9.3mm at the thickest point compared to the iPhone 5 at 7.6mm, but the edges of the HTC One narrow to almost 4.3mm thick. The HTC One is heavier than the iPhone 5 at 143 grams vs. the iPhone 5 at 112 grams.
                        
Display: The HTC One features a 4.7-inch display, with a 1080 P HD resolution, which is larger and higher than the 4-inch 1136 x 640 resolution of the iPhone 5. Without a doubt, the size advantage and higher resolution of the former will make it more desirable for power users and smartphone enthusiasts. When you watch YouTube videos on HTC One, the crisp image presentation will and wide viewing angels will guarantee you high-end video entertainment.

                      
Camera: HTC made a big deal about the HTC One Ultrapixel camera, claiming that it can capture 300% moe light than a standard smartphone camera for better looking photos and better low light performance. HTC says that the larger pixels can capture more light than 8MP cameras like the iPhone 5 uses

Processor: On paper, the One's Snapdragon 600 chip wins hands-down. Its benchmarks will likely agree. Apple, though, prioritizes experience over specs, and it's hard to argue that the iPhone 5 doesn't blaze through iOS and most apps.

iOS: With the HTC One and iPhone 5, the former is powered by Android Jelly Bean with a new version of Sense UI running on top, while the latter runs Apple's proprietary iOS 6 platform.

Storage and Ram: HTC skipped a 16 GB option, but otherwise flash memory is even. Neither device supports microSD cards for expandable storage.The HTC One also comes out looking good here, with double the iPhone’s 1 GB of RAM.
                        
Wireless: In regions where it's available, both phones support LTE networks. This is practically a given with modern high-end handsets.

Battery: HTC One packs with 2,300mAh battery, while iPhone 5 packs 1,440 mAh battery, both of which provides long-time usage, but HTC One is more

HTC has crafted an excellent smartphone that truly deserves its place in the high-end realm. Whether it is any better than the iPhone 5 is a bit early to say. But no matter what smartphone you will choose, it will satisfy you all.

MWC 2013: Top 5 Coolest Tablet and Smartphones


Mobile World Congress serves as a way for companies to show off the newest smart phones and tablets that will be hitting shelves in the months to come. 2013 MWC drew millions of people to Barcelona, Spain, to see the latest and greatest mobile devices. But what were the MWC 2013 stars in this big event? After plenty of deliberation, we think we have the top 5 tabs or smartphones. Now take a closer look at the top five tablets and samrtphones that stand out.

Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0
The Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 looks to find the middle ground between full-sized tablets and smartphones as a boardroom and living room companion. The Note 8.0 is all about multitasking, note taking, drawing, and everything else S Pen-related, but it's also an aesthetically pleasing product with a spectacularly thin girth of just 7.6mm. It comes with standard HD, 1,280 x 800 pixel display, quad-core 1.6GHz Exynos chipset, runs on Android 4.1 Jelly Bean and features a 5-megapixel camera at the back and 1.3-megapixel in the front. Other key specifications include 2GB of RAM, a (fixed) 4,600 mAh battery, 16GB or 32GB of on-board storage, and a microSD card slot to expand this capacity. Unfortunately, there is no confirmation on the pricing and the availability of the tablet on the market.
                            
LG Optimus G Pro
The LG Optimus G Pro is a powerhouse phablet with an incredible 5.5-inch display. The shining star of the LG booth at Mobile World Congress was clearly the Optimus G Pro. The G Pro is a massive smartphone that is clearly a shot across the bow of Samsung's Galaxy Note II. The defining characteristic of the Optimus G Pro is its 5.5-inch 1080p display which provides soft visual enjoyment for you to watch movies, and it includes a 1.7-GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 600 Processor, which is paired with 2 GB of RAM. Other features of this impressive smartphone include a 13-megapixel camera, 32 GB of storage, microSD support and a huge 3,140 mAh battery. The G Pro runs Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean and includes many of LG's user interface customizations.
                    
Huawei Ascend P2
The Ascend P2 announced this week in Barcelona shows promising progress from the Chinese phone maker. It packed the P2 with as many class-leading features as it could. The phone features an elegant and pixel-rich 4.7-inch display with 1280 x 720 pixels. Under the hood, a 1.5-GHz quad-core processor with 1 GB of RAM provides the P2 with power. Other key features include a 13-megapixel camera, 16 GB of built-in storage, microSD card support and LTE Category 4. The device has a 2,420 mAh battery that is governed by custom software to maximize battery life.
                                                                 
Nokia Lumia 720
The Lumia 720 from Nokia really caught our attention thanks to its impressive features. It is intended to sit snugly between the relatively high-end Lumia 820 and the more budget Lumia 620. Based on what we learned at MWC, it features a 4.3-inch curved laminated display for better readability and wider viewing angles. Its rear-facing 6.7-megapixel camera is paired with Carl Zeiss optics with a bright F1.9 aperture. Similar to the HTC Windows Phone 8X, the 720's front-facing 1.3-megapixel camera has a wide-angle lens to squeeze more friends in your self-shots. In short, the Lumia 720 is a very well priced mid-range product that will no doubt turn a few heads when it descends in Q2.
                         
Kyocera Torque
Kyocera Torque has a 4-inch display and includes 800 x 480 pixels, runs Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich and will be available from Sprint in early March. It is an extremely durable Android smartphone that can withstand shock, vibration and immersion in water. It uses Sprint's CDMA-EVDO network to pass walkie-talkie conversations back and forth. The really interesting feature is Kyocera's tissue-conduction technology. Kyocera knows a device like this is going to be used by people working in noisy environments, who are perhaps wearing helmets or ear protection. The ultra-rugged 4G LTE Android-based Kyocera Torque will hit Sprint shelves on March 8, with a $99.99 price tag and Bear Grylls's approval.
