That HTC Jetstream that we managed to get our hands around early? It's on sale! AT&T is now shipping their latest Honeycomb tablet, and while it's one of the fastest slates we've ever touched, it's also one of the most expensive. The LTE radio definitely sets it apart, but given that AT&T has only five LTE markets to showcase right now (three of which are in Texas), it's hard to recommend this unit based on heightened wireless speeds alone. The no-contract pricing on this guy is a staggering $849.99, which overshoots the iPad and just about everything else by a mile. The 2-year contract price is $699.99, which is no more reasonable. It's tough to see yourself strapped down for 2 years...

A few days ago, HTC and AT&T announced that the HTC Jetstream Android 3.1 tablet would be coming to AT&T’s network. The Jetstream’s standout features include a 1.5GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon dual-core SoC with Adreno 220 graphics, a 10.1” screen with a resolution of 1280x768, an 8-megapixel rear-facing camera, a 1.3-megapixel front-facing camera, 1GB of RAM and 32GB of onboard storage, which can be supplemented by a user accessible microSD slot. The Android 3.1 OS is also skinned by HTC's Sense UX and the tablet will work on AT&T’s brand-new, not-yet-fully-online 4G LTE network. We had a super-quick moment to get some hands-on time with an HTC Jetstream...

Not quite sure HTC and AT&T really thought this one through. The good news is that the first LTE / HSPA+ Android tablet has been officially launched. The bad news, though, is really bad. As in, you'll probably never buy one, and we can't blame you for scoffing and moving on. The new HTC Jetstream is a 10.1" Honeycomb device with Android 3.1, Sense UX, a powerful 1.5GHz Snapdragon processor and -- for a limited time -- a free HTC Scribe digital pen accessory. All that sounds fine and good, but there's one major roadblock: it cost $849 without a contract, and even with a 2-year deal, it's still $699.99. That's monumentally expensive. In reality, most consumers won't pay attention to the cutting-edge...

You might say that the world simply doesn't need another media streaming device. And you could be right. But could we use another streaming device that actually does something different and unique? Yeah, we could get into that. JetStream HD might be that device. Rather than being a software solution, this is actually a software + hardware combination. The product launched this week at DEMO Spring 2011, with a $199 box promising to change the way iPad users think about streamed content. In time, the product will be able to stream to iPhones, iPod touches and maybe even Android phones. The $199 box accepts an Ethernet cable, which is used to link it to a PC/media storage system in your home. From...
