You know what makes us happy? Pizza. But a close second has to be 4G technology, which makes us truly envy the Bostonians who were treated to a sample of Verizon’s trial LTE deployment in the friendly confines of a downtown pizza joint last month. Big Red filmed the event — and while the whole thing comes off a little bit like a carefully-orchestrated PR stunt, it’s hard to argue with nearly 10Mbps down and over 2Mbps on the upstream. That’s good stuff that should have Sprint, Clearwire, and the rest of the players on notice — assuming Verizon’s network holds up under the crushing pressure of commercial availability once thousands of rowdy Harvard students start hammering it, of course. Follow the break for the full video.

Ever heard of the Garmin nuvi 295W? Neither had we, until the GPS showed up spontaneously on Amazon. More Garminfone than PND, the device features the same 3.5-inch touchscreen, 3 megapixel camera and Garmin UI as its call-friendly counterpart, but without the front buttons, 3G data connection and subsidized price. That means you’ll have to hoof it to a hotspot to send email, perform Google Local Search and upload geotagged photos — all of which this unit can do — but at least you’ll have a dedicated GPS to help you get there. $280, available May 16th, see it in action after the break.

This week on preGAME, we shine a light through the creepy forest to bring you a live demo of Alan Wake a week before it hits stores. The game tells the story of …
So, since you’re stuck paying $10 extra per month for “premium data services” (not that bad of a 4G tax, if you ask us), what wonders await you on the HTC EVO 4G, fueled by Sprint’s next-gen network? Well, if these best-case-scenario tests we just did are any indication: everything you ever dreamed of. Of course, Sprint’s WiMAX might end up stumbling up the steps of reality, but there’s no denying that this is 21st century technology that’s worthy of some of the excitement that’s been lavished upon it. We just saw demos of Qik video conferencing, YouTube HQ (output brilliantly over HDMI), simultaneous data and voice usage, and even a straight-up speed test (4Mbps down, 1Mbps up, the latter of which is a hard cap). The phone performed brilliantly in each scenario, but of course that’s to be expected when you have a 4G tower in the building. Check out the videos of all this breathless action after the break. Added bonus? All four (totaling about 100MB) were uploaded with our laptop tethered over WiFi to an HTC EVO 4G. Don’t be jealous. Okay, be just a little bit jealous.

USB hubs with independently switchable ports to disable vampire power draw are nothing new, but this unit from iMONO takes things to the next delightfully absurd level, with a full complement of 13 ports — enough for an entire army of undead novelty flash drives. Of course, you could also just unplug your devices after you’re done using them to save power, but come on — like you’re gonna say no to an array of switches and blue LEDs. Next step: combining this with the 49-port hub we saw last year.

It looks like someone has developed Portable Opera 9 for those people who want to test out the latest version of Opera but aren’t sure if it is worth installing. I believe that it is worth installing it but this also lets people carry it around on a USB drive or on a CD.
Yes, you can put it on a CD because there is a one-time use version that does not need to save/write anything. Most people would want to choose the Personal version because it will save their settings, history, and other personal things. While using the Personal version it will store the settings and information on the computer but upon closing Opera it will pack everything into a single file and put it on the writable device. It erases the settings and information from the host machine and then overwrites the data in the location so that there is no trace of your information.
Now you can carry Opera around in your pocket or just use this to see if you like it. If you decide that you want to use it on a more permanent basis then you can download the installer from Opera.
