Mobile data isn’t free. You know that, we know that, and we thought everyone else knew that, but according to a recent survey that was done by comScore, we couldn’t have been more wrong. They say that 29% of iPhone users in the US connect to the internet using nothing but cellular data. That number…
Nokia issued a press release back in late April 2011 that said they were going to get rid of their Symbian employees. Instead of firing them, Nokia said they’d transfer them to Accenture instead. Why? Because it takes people off Nokia’s payroll, which improves earnings, which makes the stock go up; that and it’s easier…
Last September we heard rumors that NTT DoCoMo, Samsung, Fujitsu, NEC, and Panasonic were going to get together to try and take on Qualcomm. The news became official a few months later in December. Here we are, barely at the start of the second quarter of the year, and they’ve decided to call it quits.…
Super-popular game Burn the Rope: WORLDS now has the best price in the world – free (rather than 99 cents). That’s the price of the iPhone version, while the one for iPad costs only a buck (99 cents). This is a limited time offer so you better hurry grabbing the game. Hit the appropriate link…

The app version 3.0.0.20 adds a number of improvements, most notably deep integration with BBM, allowing users to…
Unlike Apple, Android tablet makers have a problem to differentiate their products from the rest of the pack. Asus is already doing this with the Transformer series, while Samsung is working on its own “Hub” services like Gaming Hub, Social Hub and Learning Hub. However, I’m not sure that’s enough. People go for the iPad…
Android is already in our phones and tablets, but what about cars? French Parrot unveiled a car stereo system powered by Google’s mobile OS last year – ASTEROID. Now Clarion is entering the same market with a similar product called Mirage. It’s a 6.5-inch system with a built-in GPS, radio, SD card slot, USB port,…
Rdio doesn’t just want to watch Spotify conquering the subscription market – it wants to do something about it. The streaming service has recently expanded to new markets, including Germany, Brazil, Portugal, Spain, Australia, New Zealand and Denmark, with plans to expand to other European countries and Asia in a few months.
