Updated Palm Pre Axed from Sprint Inventory, Pixi Still There
Earlier this summer two items showed up in Sprint systems: the P120, which has now been unveiled as the Palm Pixi, and the C40, presumed to be an updated 16 GB Palm Pre.

Popular Mechanics picks Palm Pre as one of 2009’s top gadgets
The Palm Pre is a great smartphone. It features some of the highest-end technology you can expect from any smartphone today – capacitive touchscreen with multi-touch, gesture controls, wireless (inductive) charging, true multi-tasking support and more. The Pre is also seen as the best alternative to the iPhone 3GS. So, it’s no wonder Popular Mechanics…
HTC Tattoo with £20 eXpansys Vouchers
The HTC is ANOTHER new Android device that has just come to market (seems to be an Android onslaught at the moment, what with the likes of the Motorola DEXT and Samsung i7500 too). It’s a mid-ranger in my view, with specs that aren’t quite as impressive as the Hero – but one thing it…
Palm Pre goes live in the UK – less promo than iPhone had

Rock Band iPhone Teaser Trailer Bringing Fun To BORED-room Meetings
Now that the dust has settled from the initial announcement that Rock Band is headed to the iPhone, it’s time for EA Mobile to keep this hype train going. What better way than to offer a teaser trailer. As is customary with almost all “teaser trailers”, you’ll see very little gameplay footage here. For the…
First Words series of Apps for iPhone are excellent!
I’ve been busy teaching our eldest little to talk, and daily she’s picking up new words 🙂 Fortunately, I’m not just sticking to the tried and tested method of data-input to said little ‘un via the medium of books; I’ve also implemented tech solutions too! One of these is the download of some Apps to…
Apple announces in-app purchases for free iPhone apps
Apple has opened up the AppStore to a whole new world of Freemium iPhone apps. In a move that’s sure to change the way the AppStore works, Apple (which previously said in-app purchases would never be available for free apps) has announced that the AppStore will now support in-app purchases for free iPhone apps. Finally,…
