Kyocera has made a phone under the Sanyo brand, and the Taho E4100 is an interesting flip phone.

There isn’t many “big” features for this phone, but it has a 2 Megapixel camera with flash, micro SD slot, GPS navigation, stereo Bluetooth, speakerphone, personal organizer, digital music player, as well as a text and multimedia messenger.

The Taho is also able to withstand some tough terrain as it has rubber sidings for shielding against dust, shock, vibration, extreme temperatures, rain, and can even withstand a dunking in a meter of water.

The Taho will be available on January 9, 2011 for $99.99 with two-year contract and $50 mail-in rebate.

CES 2011 is just around the corner which means a whole slew of new devices and technologies are sure to get announced. While we’ve had some speculation over what will be announced, new rumors and reports are surfacing left and right. The latest of such rumors to surface is one surrounding the popular VoIP service Skype.

Skype has been an immensely popular voice and video chatting service for desktop platforms but has made its way to mobile platforms like iOS and Android as well. However, one thing that the mobile application does not feature is the ability to make video conference calls – a highly sought after featured offering by competitors like fring.

However, Skype has begun sending out invites to an event they will be holding during CES 2011. What exactly with the VoIP giant be announcing, you ask? Well, our best best (and half the Internet’s) is that they will finally be taking the wraps off of their mobile video calling service.

Unfortunately, until that is made official, that remains nothing more than speculation.

There have been so many Android powered smartphones that it’s getting hard to track which was the top dog at what time. Not too long ago, one of the most hyped devices was the HTC Legend, the HTC Hero’s successor. Compared to modern day devices the Legend’s specs are quite slim with a 3.2-inch touchscreen, 600MHz processor and 5 megapixel camera. However, thanks to the Android platform, the Legend was a superstar in its day and age.

For those of you that still have an HTC Legend, you will be happy to know that the Android 2.2 update is getting pushed out tomorrow. If you see an available update today, make note that this is not Froyo but instead Android 2.05.405.2. This update will reportedly prep the Legend for tommorow’s update to Froyo.

Now we just need a Gingerbread update and we’ll be set.

Tablets are all around us now a days with hardware manufacturers across the board announcing their offerings. The single most hyped tablet is without a doubt Apple’s iPad. This device has time and time again topped the charts when it comes to tablet use and is currently the reigning king.

However, now that the iPad has been out for quite some time it’s almost time to start thinking about its successor – commonly known as the iPad 2. While we have no official confirmation as to what exactly this new iOS powered tablet will include we’ve speculated that it will feature a Retina Display and FaceTime support, at least. Some publications have speculated that Apple will do away with the current LCD display and instead make the switch to AMOLED.

Unfortunately, reports have surfaced today that say the hardware manufacturer behind the iPad 2′s screens has confirmed that they are in fact LCD and not AMOLED. Of course, this could be complete hogwash considering it didn’t come from Apple and instead some unconfirmed source but it’s something to think about nonetheless.
