Seeing this gigantic iPhone composed of 56 Apple iPads could get Apple fanboys as riled up as meat lovers looking at a pig sculpted entirely out of bacon. It’s unofficially the world’s biggest iPhone, mostly because it really isn’t a huge smartphone, but if you stand far enough from the thing and squint your eyes…

Verizon Android 4G LTE devices coming Jan. 6
You might want to hold off on getting a new smartphone this holiday season because Verizon will be introducing an Android phone with 4G LTE in January at the Consumer Electronics Show. “Jan. 6 at #CES: #Android and #LTE – could it be like peanut butter and chocolate? YUM!,” Verizon tweeted from its official account.…
T-Mobile launching 4G HSPA+ MiFi in 2011?
Everyone has one, so why not T-Mobile? The carrier appears to be readying a MiFi, or mobile hotspot, launch that will be compatible with its HSPA+ network next year. Although I still cringe at calling evolved 3G technologies “4G,” the ITU has recently decided that it’s ok, so yes: this will be a 4G MiFi…
Review: Berzerk Ball for iPhone – Hitting a Geek Never Felt So Good
I think we can all agree that we’re all nerds about one thing or another. As cool as we all seem to perceive ourselves to be, we all can’t help but to geek out when a new phone is revealed. On the other hand, I would absolutely love to smack around a geek for once…
Tegra 2 could land in Galaxy Tab 2, be reference for Android Honeycomb
If 2010 seemed like the year of the 1 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, 2011 could very well be the year of the NVIDIA Tegra 2 dual-core processor, as reports suggest this will be powering a plethora of Android devices next year. Citigroup’s Glen Yeung says that Samsung just placed a massive order of the dual-core…
HTC Desire HD Coming to Telus
Although it’s kind of hard to tell, this is apparently the HTC Desire HD, and it’s heading to Telus sometime in January/February next year according to tipsters. It’s good to see those wishy-washy rumours last month gaining some more concrete proof. No mention of pricing, but I wouldn’t expect it to be more than $200…
Apple iPhone 4 is $147 this week at Sam’s Club
It looks like Sam’s Club will be offering the Apple iPhone 4 for $147 this week. I’d like to make a joke about picking up a gallon of mayonnaise with your new smartphone but this is just too much of a good deal to laugh about. The Sam’s Club deal will require signing a new,…
DROID 2 now available from Verizon as a certified pre-owned device
The original DROID 2 is now back on Verizon’s website as a certified pre-owned device. The reconditioned handset is available for $129, which is $70 less than its Global counterpart. While pre-owned devices are often cast aside, I have owned several Verizon Wireless pre-certified devices and almost all have been in excellent physical and operating…
Are your apps violating your privacy, sending private info?
We love our smartphones, but it’s a little disturbing to think that it’s sitting in our pockets and abusing our trust – violating our privacy. It’s not the first time we’ve heard of apps sending our personal data to outside parties without our consent, but it seems like it’s happening on a grander scale than…
AT&T Buying Flo TV Spectrum for $1.9 Billion
A few months ago Qualcomm’s foray into mobile TV was axed, and now they’re offloading spectrum in the lower 700 MHz range that they were using for Flo TV to AT&T for a cool $1.9 billion. What does AT&T plan to do with it? 4G, of course. Apparently this spectrum has the capability to cover…
