Starting this summer, I’m going to be a legal tech reviewer for the ABA Journal. Basically, the ABA wants me to test technology in the wild. What this means for you, is that you’ll be getting video reviews of all sorts of technology by yours truly. Needless to say, I’m very excited to test some new toys.
One of the toys that I have my eyes on is HTC’s EVO 4G on Sprint which will launch in June. I want to review this bad boy.
So far, here’s what I got from Sprint regarding its features:
Fully integrated suite of services built on the AndroidTM 2.1 platform. HTC EVO 4G includes a blazing-fast 1GHz Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ processor, the award-winning HTC SenseTM user experience, an 8.0 megapixel auto-focus camera with HD-capable video camcorder and a forward-facing 1.3 megapixel camera. HTC EVO supports industry leading features including Simultaneous Voice and Data while in 4G coverage and new Mobile Video Chat, the two-way voice and video service from Qik. The large vibrant 4.3 inch display, built-in kickstand, 3.5 mm headset jack and HDMI output make HTC EVO 4G an unparalleled platform for wireless entertainment. Download music, pictures, files, or videos in seconds – not minutes – and watch streaming video on the go on a network with download speeds that are up to 10 times faster than 3G speeds.1 With built-in mobile hotspot functionality, HTC EVO 4G also allows up to eight Wi-Fi-enabled devices, including laptop, camera, music player, video player and any other Wi-Fi-enabled device, to enjoy the benefits of 3G/4G speeds on the go
Are you kidding me? So it’s going to be fast. Like really fast. And it has a front facing camera….hello video conferencing. Oh and perhaps most of all for lawyers it acts as a wifi hotspot.

I don’t want to sound like a commercial for something that I have never used but lawyers considering a smartphone or upgrading their current phone should wait to do so until the EVO 4G hits the market.
