Who needs touchscreens and slide to unlock features says Pantech. This latest commercial shows just how 2010 touchscreens and slide to answer features really are because they have introduced hands-free gesture based controls for swiping through pictures and even answering phone calls.

Touchscreens- That’s soooooo 2007. Say hello to the Kinect-ish gesture controlled Pantech Vega LTE for Korea.

The unreleased and still not fully confirmed HTC Rezound for Verizon Wireless has just been unboxed — sort of.

Oh snap, here comes another entry into the mobile OS game. Instead of some no-name third-party, though, Canonical has plans to step up to the plate with Ubuntu and see how it fares at on-the-go computing.

This weeks “AOA” can be shared by most Droidheads across the world. “Using your head” is more about thinking, or doing your research before your purchase a piece of technology.
