We recently got in the Pad Pivot for review and decided to give it a spin. What’s a Pad Pivot ? You might want to call it yet another stand for the Apple iPad but you’d be surprised to know how nifty this little device actually is.

Most iPad stands tend to be too bulky and impractical to carry with you on the road but the Pad Pivot does the job admirably well. The petite accessory is tiny enough to be carried with you when heading out and can of course also be used on the desk at home. Read on to find out more about the Pad Pivot.

Having left the name Sony Ericsson behind it, Sony’s revitalised mobile division is wasting no time in pumping out as many top-tier handsets as possible. The Xperia S has only been on the market for a few months and already it’s getting usurped by the Xperia T – a handset which comes pre-loaded with Ice Cream Sandwich, NFC capabilities and a massive 4.6-inch TFT screen.
The other talking point is contained within the device itself in the shape of a Snapdragon S4 1.5GHz dual-core CPU, backed by 1GB of RAM. Sony is insisting this puts the Xperia T on a level playing field with its quad-core rivals, like the HTC One X and Samsung Galaxy S3, but is this merely empty marketing hype? Let’s find out in the FoneArena review below. Continue reading “Sony Xperia T Review”
