It used to be that a smart phone was nothing more than an advanced cell phone, and even the label ‘advanced’ was a bit of a stretch at times. After all, outside of superior portability, what did these devices deliver that the other gadgets in our lives didn’t do better? But the times are changing. THis new HTC Evo 3D . The new HTC Evo 3D also supports three-dimensional movies and other such video files.

So with this kind of power on the horizon, it’s time that we start to evaluate these phones by comparing them to the other gadgets we use. We know that the HTC Evo 3D will be amazing cell phone and that it will boast a fantastic range of HTC Evo 3D accessories to expand its possibilities. But one should wonder how the Evo 3D may stack up to other devices in our lives. Can it fully replace our beloved Apple iPod? Can it take the place of our handheld gaming device, such as a Nintendo 3DS? Well, let’s find out.

While the Apple iPod has come a really long way since its humble origins, when the iPod Touch released, the iPod versus smart phone debate became a lot more complex. The big drawback to the iPod touch was that you could only use it where Wi-Fi was available. The big advantages were that it had a lower monthly bill associated with it, was a dedicated music player and it could play games better than smart phones could. Yes, the non-touch screen iPod may be the cheaper option, but that isn’t necessarily true. The HTC Evo has better music support, as well as sound quality. Not to mention, it has more power and delivers a better performance than most phones.

The big advantage to the Nintendo 3DS over a smart phones was that the Nintendo handheld had 3D. Some cell phones did too, but early on there were issues, such problems displaying 2D. Phones like the HTC Evo 3D, those issues are all gone, so this becomes a debate with merit. The obvious advantage to the Nintendo unit is the control scheme, which is set up for game interaction. The HTC Evo 3D has to be much more versatile, and it has to put phone use and browsing first. However, you can buy accessories, such as a HTC Evo 3D case or a HTC Evo 3D screen protector, which they gear specifically for gamers. There’s even a handy base which turns your Evo 3D into a movie station or a handheld gamer.

A cell phone is definitely one of those devices that are a must have. We just can’t get on without it. In the past, these other gadgets, such as the iPod and the 3DS, were there to fill in the gaps between our smart phone, computer and TV and entertainment center. But now that smart phones like the HTC Evo 3D are so sophisticated, it has become a realistic option to eschew toys like the 3DS and iPod in favor of upgrades elsewhere. The bottom line to all of it is that the HTC Evo 3D definitely stacks up with other entertainment devices like the Apple iPod and the Nintendo 3DS.
