Remember the Kyocera Echo? Well, the wacky dual-screened Android phone that Sprint announced last month just passed through the FCC, so we should see the handset debut in the near future.

The Echo is quite a spin on the traditional smartphone archetype, and while it may be a bit unconventional, it really should appeal those of you who like to do more than one task at a time. The Echo sports multiple modes to use it in, so chances are you won’t have to worry about getting bored with this handset. That said, while the concept of having two screens on a handset is rather intriguing, will customers get it? The hype surrounding the Echo at launch might be met with the clamor of customers asking themselves if they actually need another screen on their handsets.

With 4G and dual-core processors being all the rage right now, the Echo, which is lacking in both departments, may not appeal to the spec geeks out there looking for a truly powerful phone, no matter how many things you can do with it at a time. However, if the Echo was indeed sporting some sort of dual-core processing unit and 4G, not only would the battery life likely be bad, but it would probably translate to a much higher price than the $199.99 it will sell for.

We have heard that T-Mobile and Sprint would merge to create a super third carrier to compete with ATT and Verizon before but a new report from BusinessWeek suggests the deal may be on track. The report says Deutsche Telekom is in discussion with Sprint Nextel to sell the fourth-largest US carrier in exchange for a stake in the new entity. If consummated and if it passed governmental scrutiny, the deal would create a new carrier that has roughly 70 million subscribers. By comparison, ATT and Verizon have more than 90 million customers, respectively.

The report doesn’t indicate that a deal is close and the haggling may be over what T-Mobile is worth. Despite the company increasing its 3G network by leaps and bounds and introducing cool handsets like the myTouch 4G, the carrier continues to shed subscribers. The last quarter was particularly painful because it had a net loss of the lucrative postpaid, long-term contract customers.

Of course, a Sprint T-Mobile merger would create a nightmare of networking problems that may be too much to overcome. T-Mobile currently uses GSM technology and HSPA+ for 4G while Sprint uses CDMA and WiMax for its 4G services. These are not interoperable, so you’re looking at dual-mode devices for this entity for the first few years.

The HD6990 is the new "world fastest” card. Its basically two HD6970 soldered into a single board. Unfortunately the price is also two times higher $700.

The Raredon HD6990 doubles the computing power of the HD6970 2×1536 stream processors, 2×96 texture units, 2×32 ROPs, 830MHz core clock, 2×256-bit memory bus, 2x2GB GDDR5, 2×2.64 billion transistors but keeps the same 40nm manufacturing process. The memory clock had to be slightly reduced to 1.25GHz (5GHz data rate) to meet the TDP requirements.

If you are a gamer you already know the next Crysis is only a few days away so March seems to be the perfect moment to launch the next GPU king. As it turned out AMD thought the exact same thing.

If you are an HD5970 owner and you want this new baby you will not need to upgrade your power supply. In any other case you must be prepared to get an at least 800W PSU, a big case and get used with the noisy fans.

If you are an HD5970 owner I think its better to wait for the HD79xx generation and skip this one. The performance increase (for resolutions up to 1920×1200) is hardly greater than 20%. While it’s not exactly a minor upgrade, there is still no game on the market to make the HD5970 unleash its full potential. If you are looking for resolutions higher than that, then the upgrade is definitely worth it.

Its finally out, fellas. Firefox 4 has just come out the beta stages of its development and embraced the release candidate status. It took Mozilla more than a year, counting from the date when the first Alpha was released (and 8 months from the first Beta), but a fully stable version of the browser is now available for download.

Featuring a new simpler interface, vastly improved JavaScript and general performance, Firefox 4 is certainly among the most capable browsers currently available. And thats even after missing its target release date by 5 full months.

I have already taken this baby for a spin and I have to say its doing pretty impressively. Find the language that you need and start downloading. Just Click the Link below!

The new Adobe Flash player 10.3 is now official for Windows, Mac and Linux. Its still in beta form but nonetheless you can go and check it out pronto, should you be interested. It brings along some enhanced privacy protection features including integration with browser privacy control for local storage, Native Control Panel and Auto-Update Notification for Mac OS, the latter being long overdue.

Two other new features of the Adobe Flash player 10.3 are the Acoustic Echo Cancellation fro improved voice communication and the Media Measurement, which allows tracking and recording consistent Flash video analytics. Users can test the new beta and give feedback to Adobe. Also developers can give the 10.3 version a spin to check out compatibility with platforms and the overall usability of the release.

Adobe went on saying that version 10.3 of their Flash will soon hit mobile devices soon and the Air and Air SDK will soon be available for both mobile and desktop platforms.
