If you like saving articles you find online for reading later, or for offline reading, chances are your app of choice is Instapaper for the iPhone and/or iPad.

iPhone 4S’ ‘Find My Friends’ app helps man catch cheating wife

The great thing about the iPhone 4S and iCloud’s new Find My Friends app is that it lets users share their location information with other iOS users in case you’re nearby and want to hang out and party. It’s sort of like Buddy Beacon for Helio (remember that?) or Google Latitude. But what happens when you have the feature enabled on your phone without realizing it, and your husband learns that you’ve been lying about your whereabouts? Material for an episode of Cheaters is what happens. One Thomas Metz of … Read more

The iPhone 4S went on sale in Apple retail stores, wireless carrier retail stores and other retail partners on Friday. Did you buy one? And if so, after a whole day with it, what do you think? Some of you might have upgraded from the iPhone 4, which proves that a dual-core processor, bump in camera specs and the addition of Siri were enough to switch. And some of you have switched from Android, BlackBerry or are purchasing a smartphone for the very first time. Our IntoMobile West team camped … Read more

HTC Sensation XL with Beats Audio hands on – none for you, USA!

At CTIA 2011 in San Diego, CA, we went hands on with the HTC Sensation XL with Beats Audio. It’s a sexy Android smartphone clad in white – my favorite color for smartphones – with red accents and the Beats logo on it. It felt solid in the hand, and it’s unmistakably HTC by design. I also liked that it had some heft to it, so that it’s not just a big screen with no substance. The bad news? It’s never coming to the U.S. Bummer. On the bright side, … Read more

Hands on the T-Mobile SpringBoard, a 7-inch Android tablet by Huawei

T-Mobile announced its SpringBoard Android tablet the other day and we were able to go hands on with the device. It’s pretty sleek, considering what a designer can actually do with such a slim form factor, and appeared to work smoothly without any hiccups. That could be thanks to its 1.2GHz dual-core Snapdragon processor, too. The T-Mobile SpringBoard runs Android 3.2 Honeycomb, and features a 7-inch touchscreen display. Given its light weight, overall size and thinness, portability definitely won’t be an issue. The tablet itself is manufactured by Huawei, though … Read more
