File this “way to early to talk about it,” but apparently the Big Red is looking forward to the iPhone 2 which reportedly should come with a built-in 3G radio. According to Vodafone’s CEO, they will “absolutely” negotiate with Apple to carry their handset as soon as Jobs&Co make it 3G enabled. Somehow, I don’t…

Milk carton phone concept?
There are two things I don’t understand about this concept device. First, why it’s called “Milk carton,” when it doesn’t look like one. And second, how the hack the guy/girl who designed it thinks it will work? On the other hand, maybe its the phones made out of carton that we’ll see/use in the future.…
Hilarious Microsoft Windows Mobile advertising campaign – Untamed Workforce
This is some funny stuff. Microsoft looks to be taking the comedy-route to get its Windows Mobile name out there. In “Untamed Workforce,” a new advertising campaign spear-headed by the Untamed Workforce website, Microsoft pokes fun at the “untamed” mobile warrior – apparently the “mobile species” is something of a scientific discovery. The website features…
Asus updates the P526 with Asus P527 – ok, great
Ok, so Asus has decided to update their 3G-less Asus P526 with, wait for it…no 3G! Apparently, the Asus P527 gets updated with WiFi. So it’s not too much of a disappointment, but we think Asus should have included some 3G – they went through all the trouble of releasing an update afterall. Other than…
Qualcomm being investigated by European Union for abusing its market position
Apparently, the European Union (EU) doesn’t take kindly to major players abusing their dominant market position to step all over competitors. And as such, the EU’s European Commission has kicked off their anti-trust investigation into Qualcomm‘s business practices in the mobile chipset market. The investigation was spurred by complaints from Nokia and Broadcom (surprise, surprise),…

There’s a new social network in town and it’s called Playyoo. The London-based network brings developers and players of mobile games together in an online community. In celebration of their upcoming mobile-community-launch, Playyoo is holding a mobile game developer contest to see who can create the “best” mobile game out there (based on Playyoo’s SDK,…
Who wants a Nokia 6280 with 36X zoom and Nikon SLR optics?
This is definitely a cool hardware hack. With megapixel counts on cameraphones growing ever larger, it seems illogical to fit these mobile phones with low-quality, crap plastic optics. Well, the guys over at Chaos Projects decided that they wanted to change this. They modded a Nokia 6280 to work with a Nikon SLR lens setup…
eTna mobile phone concept plugs into wall-charger, literally
This is definitely an interesting concept, the way concepts were meant to be – an innovative new idea rather than a device packed with the highest-tech out there. The screen of the eTna is small, as is the keypad, and the media keys are huge. But if you look closely, you’ll see a gaping hole…
Emblaze signs deal with Sharp and ACCESS to create revolutionary mobile device
Right, it’s easy to say that you’ll be bringing a “revolutionary” device to market when you’ve barely even hit the drawing board. Anyone can say that their device is all that and a bag of chips (anyone remember Gizmondo?), but the real test will come when this trio actually launches their device. Japanese electronics giant…
