Motorola Droid 4 photos leak, we’re left hungry for Ice Cream Sandwich
Contrary to some minor previous speculation, Motorola is far from retiring its successful “Droid” line of smartphones. TechnoBuffalo obtained an upcoming Motorola Droid 4 with plenty of juicy photos. Let me just get right to the big disappointment: there’s no Ice Cream Sandwich on this guy. It’s running Android 2.3 Gingerbread, which is fine, but it’s no ICS. To stray away from jumping to conclusions, the Droid 4 TechnoBuffalo currently possesses is only a demo unit, and Motorola could still ship it with Android 4.0. As of now, however, we’re left underwhelmed. … Read more

Siri tells British child to ‘shut the f*** up’
I think it’s safe to say we were all secretly hoping for a humorous story like this to make headlines at one point, but I never thought I’d see the day. In Coventry, England, Kim Le Quesne is reporting with utter disgust that a display model of the Apple iPhone 4S cussed at her 10-year-old son. Apparently the son, Charlie, was shopping at a local Tesco with his father when he approached the iPhone 4S on display. Knowing of its famous Siri feature, the child innocently asked Siri how many … Read more

Argentina bans iPhone, BlackBerry imports to support local production
In an attempt to rectify issues with Argentina’s economy, the South American country placed a temporary ban on imports of foreign-made electronics. Two of the most well-known of those electronics are the iPhone and BlackBerry devices. Apple and RIM collectively account for 60 percent of Argentina’s smartphone market, so the ban is going to have a substantial impact on its mobile industry. What about Android and Windows Phone? Neither of the operating systems nor the hardware manufacturers were affected because they — Nokia, Motorola, Samsung, Microsoft, etc. — have manufacturing … Read more

Nokia diagnostics hint at Lumia LTE phones coming to AT&T
The folks over at Nanapho.jp, a foreign Windows Phone news publication, did some digging on a Nokia Lumia device to find Nokia’s diagnostics app, which is accessible via the terminal. There, they found different tests for “LTE TX” and “LTE Band Lock.” The latter is for choosing which LTE band the hardware should use and the Lumia oddly had options for Band 4 and Band 17, the same two bands AT&T LTE uses. I think you can see where this is going. The Nokia Lumia 800 has been rumored to eventually … Read more

Hands-on: Motorola Droid Xyboard 8.2 Android tablet
The Motorola Xoom was the company’s first dip into the Android tablet market when it was released almost a year ago and depending on who you ask, the tablet was either a hit or miss as other Android tablets, like the Samsung Galaxy Tab, completely took the spotlight away from the Xoom. Motorola has since then gone back to the drawing board and has produced the Motorola Droid Xyboard to attempt to reclaim the tablet throne away from the Tab. One of the first things I noticed about the Xyboard … Read more
