A couple of weeks ago, the Tiny Towers developers, Nimblebit, decided to take out some of their frustation upon learning of Zynga’s tower building clone by releasing a lovely letter via the Interwebs.

It’s both very beautiful and terribly bloated at the same time, and virtually every handset running Sense is adorned by the nice, yet aging, retro clock on its main homescreen. Well, we were hoping to see some sort of design shift for Sense when…
Samsung, apparently undeterred by the success of the iPad and the legal battles over the Galaxy Tab, added another tablet to its device lineup on Monday.

China, the world’s second largest economy comprised of over a billion people, hasn’t been very nice to Nokia. When the Finnish handset maker reported their Q4 2011 financial results late last month, they said that handset sales in China fell 33% year on year to less than 15 million units. What’s a phone maker to…
Ask someone, anyone, about which companies are synonymous with the word design, and you’d be hard pressed to hear a single person mention Acer. Things can change though, and the Acer CloudMobile might be the start of a new era for the company. It won the 2012 iF design award, which isn’t really saying much,…
We’re just two weeks away until Mobile World Congress kicks off, the largest mobile exhibition on the face of the planet. Everything that gets announced there usually ends up being talked about for the next 12 months, case in point the Samsung Galaxy S II. This year we’re sad to report that Samsung isn’t going…
