Given the similar name, this could also hint at a sequel to HTC’s foray into the MID market, though the application is specifically for smartphones and cell…
A tweet from the always-reliable Mobile-Review has said that Motorola will be the first to introduce Android 3.0 Honeycomb to the world with a 7-inch tablet called the Motopad. Despite the lack of any hard evidence, it’s not too hard to believe – Honeycomb has been rumoured to optimize Android for the tablet form factor,…
Dummy units of the BlackBerry Torch 9800 and Bold 9780 in white have started arriving at Rogers stores for those of you interested in colour rather than cold, hard technology.

The Swype gesture-based keyboard for Android has just entered a 5th. beta which, on top of the usual performance improvements, includes the ability to double-tap a word to bring up the correction menu, and a voice-to-text button if you have Google Voice Search installed. If you haven’t heard of it, it’s really something you have…
Rogers and Telus launched their refreshed BlackBerry Bolds this week, and Bell isn’t one to be left out of the party. Today the device hit shelves with a $124.95 pricetag on a three-year contract. That pricing puts it square in between Rogers’ $149.99 and Telus’ $99.99. Bell’s little minion, Virgin Mobile, will also be picking…
The first batch of Windows phones to hit the market is a small one says Microsoft, though most stores should still have at least a few in stock. Spot checks at T-Mobile and AT&T stores around Boston revealed a consistent, if limited supply of Windows phones. Initial sales shouldn’t be too strenuous on retail channels,…
The guys at GetGlue have updated their mobile check-in app for just about everything with a handful of usability improvements.
