Verizon Adds LG VX9400 to Mobile TV Lineup

By Geoff Duncan Published March 23, 2007

It’s not every day a mobile operator can announce that it has doubled the number of phones which support its top-flight content offerings…but that’s exactly what Verizon Wireless was able to do today by adding the LG VX9400 to its list of offerings which support its new V Cast Mobile TV service.

The VX 9400 is a CDMA handset offering EV-DO high speed mobile data services and sports a 2.2-inch 320 by 240 pixel LCD display which can swivel between portrait and landscape modes using a “swingbar” design. The phone also offers a 1.3 megapixel video-capable camera, Bluetooth wireless networking, microSD media support, speakerphone, and a music-only mode for becoming one with your latest tunes. Of course, the VX9400 also sports the usual panplly of phone applications (calculator, calendar, world clock, address books, etc.), and in addition to supporting Verizon’s V Cast Mobile TV, you can tap into V Cast Mobile Music, V Cast Video, and location-based navigation services—not to mention email, instant messaging, and MMS messaging services.

The VX9400 is priced at $249.99 with a two-year contract, but Verizon is offering a $50 online discount bringing the end cost down to $199.99. Of course, if you’re just dying to try out V Cast Mobile TV, make sure you’re in one of the selected metropolitan areas where service is available: it’s not everywhere on Verizon’s network yet.

This affordable tablet runs on Android 14 — it’s on sale for only $98

The front and back of the Zonko 10-inch tablet.

While there are tablet deals featuring top-of-the-line models from the most popular brands, there are also some offers for affordable devices. Here's one from Walmart -- the Zonko 10-inch tablet for only $98, which is less than half its original price of $200. You probably didn't think you can get an Android 14 tablet for less than $100, so if you want to take advantage of this offer, you should hurry with your purchase and complete it today if possible as we don't think stocks will last long following this $102 discount.

Why you should buy the Zonko 10-inch tablet
The Zonko 10-inch tablet runs on Android 14, which is the latest version of Google's mobile operating system, so you'll have access to the new features. The tablet is equipped with the octa-core Allwinner A523 processor and 8GB of RAM, which will provide smooth performance, but of course not at the level of the flagship models of the best tablets. These specifications are more than enough for basic tasks such as browsing the internet and watching streaming shows though, so the Zonko 10-inch tablet will be a worthwhile purchase if these are mostly what you'll be using the device for.

Every Apple Watch release in chronological order: 2014–2024

The Apple Watch Series 10 models on display at Apple Park.

Like the iPhone did for cell phones, the Apple Watch has changed the market of health and fitness trackers forever. While the iPhone was the biggest product launch under Steve Jobs, the Apple Watch has become Tim Cook’s biggest product launch since taking over after Jobs’ death in 2011.

The original Apple Watch was first announced in September 2014, and since that time, we've had a decade of Apple Watch models for every budget and person. That decade has seen a lot of changes in the Apple Watch, and while the general shape hasn't changed, we've seen many new features, slimmer bezels, and even a new rugged outlook for certain models.

I used the HMD Fusion, 2024’s bravest smartphone

The back of the HMD Fusion in its Casual Outfit.

I’ve been using one of the bravest phones of the year. It’s the HMD Fusion, and it has found a way to stand out in the current, congested world of smartphones, allowing HMD to break free of its Nokia brand name ties.

It hasn’t simply gone all-out with a $1,000-plus flagship to capture attention and has arguably gone down an even tougher road to do so. The Fusion is a modular smartphone, and it’s a very brave move on HMD’s part.
