Lest we forget, tomorrow is the big day for Apple’s annual fall event. If that guitar-laden announcement is any indication, then this event will focus on the music-oriented offerings that pepper Apple’s hardware and software lineup. The rumor and speculation surrounding this event has been building over the past few weeks and we are here…
We were pretty sure what to expect from the upcoming T-Mobile G2 at this point. From a leaked ROM revealing a new Qualcomm CPU, to a handful of pictures that have leaked into the wild, we though we had this thing covered from end to end. That may not be true, as we don’t have…
