SCVNGR has released a new version of its location-based gaming app for the Apple iPhone and Android and the latest version includes a host of new improvements. If you’re not aware, SCVNGR lets users check in to locations, kind of like Foursquare and others. What I like about SCVNGR is that it has rolled out…
The Dell Venue Pro is one sexy piece of Windows Phone 7 hardware. Although we only had a few minutes to fondle one during the Windows Phone 7 launch Microsoft held early last week, we were impressed. It’s hefty and svelte, responsive and clean. The folks in the UK will soon be able to grab…
Back in July, I attended a press event held by EA to showcase some of its upcoming games. One title in particular caught my attention as it reminded me of the old-school NES classic, R.C. Pro-Am. The game was called Reckless Racing and EA Mobile has just released it on both the iPhone & iPad,…
Looks like Asus and Garmin are calling it quits come January next year, and we can’t say that we’re surprised. With the crash and burn of the Garminfone, we’re actually more surprised this didn’t happen sooner. This makes strike two for Garmin, with the Nuvifone not quite attracting anyone, either.

The iPhone 4 is a bit trickier, but manages to offer no-wires recharging…
The Verizon Salute, ZTE’s first mobile phone on a major US carrier, is an acceptable alternative to the smartphone world. It reminds me of my early college years before social networking apps, 3G speeds, and FaceTime. As a dedicated iPhone 4 user it was a rough transition, but I quickly grew to appreciate the Salute’s…
Verizon had a solid third quarter with $26.5 billion in revenue and $2.92 billion in profit but the company is not keeping pace with its main rival in terms of new customer addition. Verizon Wireless added 997,000 new customers for the quarter, giving it a total of 93.2 million customers. AT&T had a massive third…
So, the Droid X and Droid 2 can now be overclocked with a simple $1 app. Guess what the app’s name is? DX/D2 Overclocker. Clever, right? And for 99 cents you can overclock your Android handset’s CPU to 1.2GHz or 1.3GHz with a single push of a button depending on just how willing you are…
