We know that eBay is really taking mobile seriously and the company just released an update to its eBay Motors iPhone app which will let you snap a picture of a car, have it identified for you and then be able to buy inventory for it. This image-recognition technology will probably make for a great show-off feature but there’s a practical reason for it too. Sometimes, it’s just easier to snap a picture than to type in your car, the make, model and year. Additionally, the app will include some … Read more
HTC, one of the top Android phone makers is believed to be cooking up some impressive new features with the launch of its upcoming custom user interface, Sense 4.0. This new custom UI will likely be an overhaul compared to the last version (Sense 3.5), users can expect improved typography, displays widgets, and data. Also, Sense 4.0 will supposedly position tabs depending on device orientation and display button functions to cut confusion. According to PocketNow, other new features include: Email – HTC’s updated email client will deliver seamless threaded messages, … Read more
Up until late 2011, Microsoft has kept its library of exclusive apps that were compatible with the Xbox 360′s Xbox LIVE! to its Windows Phone 7 platform. Then this past December, Microsoft decided to open the flood gates just a smidgen by releasing the Xbox Live app and Kinectimals to the iOS platform to the mobile industry’s surprise. It isn’t surprising to hear both apps have done very well for Microsoft, which is exactly why they plan to develop more Xbox Live compatible apps for iOS & Android. The news comes … Read more
Apple gains another victory as the maker of the wildly popular iPhone just sneaked past Samsung to become the number one smartphone manufacturer. In the last quarter of December the Cupertino-based company moved 37 million handsets compared to Sammy’s 36.5 million, according to Strategy Analytics and IHS iSuppli. Even though Samsung doesn’t specifically break out its smartphone sales – causing both firms to make estimates – it’s still hard to ignore how impressive these sales are. Smartphone sales are rising every year, which is something Strategy Analytics mentioned in its … Read more
Former Palm CEO Jon Rubinstein is leaving HP and he leaves a tantalizing legacy of unfulfilled potential with webOS. Rubinstein said he’s going to take a “well deserved break” for a while but I wouldn’t be surprised to see him pop up at another major mobile company in the not-too-distant future (Microsoft could use him). Rubinstein came from Apple and tried to remake Palm with webOS but even the nicest 1.0 smartphone platform design in the world couldn’t save Palm and webOS from death. You can read the full story … Read more
Surprise, surprise … BlackBerry owners are older and wealthier, according to the latest study conducted by comScore. The study shows that BlackBerry smartphones are occupied of age groups ranging from 35 and above, while folks who are 55 to 64 years of age have the highest ownership index. Owners of BB devices are wealthier, as the report found they bring in an annual household income of $75,000 and above when compared to the average smartphone user. What was also discovered about these numbers are most users get some or all of … Read more
The Motorola Droid Razr Maxx is available today and Verizon and Moto are saying that this is the one 4G LTE phone where you don’t have to worry about the battery life. We’ll review the Motorola Droid Razr soon but let’s take a look at the latest Android handset. As the name would suggest, this is essentially the Droid Razr with a bigger battery and a thicker form factor. While it’s not “impossibly thin” like the Razr, the Droid Razr Maxx is still quite a slim handset – check out … Read more
Up until this week, Google Calendar and Windows Phone didn’t play together nicely. You could only sync one Google calendar per account and had to use a JavaScript hack to sync more. Thankfully, those days are gone now that Google updated its Sync product to let Windows Phone users select multiple Google calendars. Customers with a Windows Phone can navigate to m.google.com/sync on their phone and setup the calendars they want yo sync. Besides Calendar Sync, Google also lets you configure which addresses you want to send mail as if you use custom addresses in Gmail. These are minor changes, … Read more
Even though the console version of id Software’s RAGE left much to be desired, that doesn’t mean RAGE HD for iOS isn’t a terrific game. In fact, the company just released an update that puts more goodness into an already impressive package. The latest update for RAGE HD brings a slew of enhancements such as iOS 5 support, the ability to melee your enemies, and two new episodes called Kraken and Aqueduct which can be purchased for only $.99 via in-app purchase. And just to clarify, that’s $.99 for both episodes. … Read more
The lifestyle of citizens in North Korea has been of major controversy in recent news, and now the government is revoking even more privileges from the country’s natives — privileges that affect the use of beloved mobile phones. In the 100-day mourning period after the death of former country leader Kim Jong-il, anyone caught using a cell phone will be punished as a “war criminal.” The ban is presumably to strengthen the power of new leader Kim Jong-un. It’s almost as if Jong-un wants to let his people know that … Read more
Canadian Telus announced the availability of the 8107 update for two of its Windows Phone devices – HTC 7 Surround and LG Optimus 7. The carrier prepared a support page advising users to “push the button” and solve the annoying “disappearing keyboard” bug, while fixing some of the other issues as well. In order to proceed, you should connect your Windows Phone device to a computer (via USB cable), and fire-up the Zune software. From there, you can check for updates, and make sure you’re running the latest firmware by … Read more
Mobilicity will join (as announced on Twitter) other Canadian carriers which offer the Samsung Galaxy Nexus. Price is unknown at the moment, but we do know the launch date – it’s set for February 6th, when our Canadian readers will have one more option to choose from to get the world’s first Ice Cream Sandwich smartphone. But wait, we’re free to speculate more on this. You see, if Mobilicity is getting the Galaxy Nexus, something tells us WIND and Videotron will join this trend too, offering the same hot smartphone … Read more
Good news for all of you with Window Phone devices – you’ll get 5 hot new games in February. In a staged release, one game will be added to the Windows Phone Marketplace every week, including: Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit – February 1st ($4.99) BulletAsylum – February 8th ($2.99) (Exclusive to Windows Phone) Chickens Can’t Fly – February 15th ($2.99) Tom Clancy’s Splinter Cell Conviction – February 22nd ($4.99) Toy Soldiers: Boot Camp – February 29th ($2.99) So what do you say, are you looking forward to try out … Read more
Everyone loves Asus’ Transformer Prime these days and there’s nothing strange about it. After all, it’s the world’s first (and still the only) tablet powered by a quad-core processor that also comes with that ever-handy keyboard dock. And while I love it too, I think I would love a 7-inch version even more. The reason is obvious – smaller tablets are easier to carry around and that should be the idea here — to leave your bigger laptop at home and carry around a tablet. I know what you think … Read more
