Sprint released a small firmware update for the HTC Evo 3D. “Small” obviously doesn’t include Ice Cream Sandwich and I guess we’ll have to wait for another month or so to see Android 4.0 rolling out for the 3D smartphone. The new software version comes with some improvements under the hood that improve the battery…
Like all those iOS and Android users are not enough, ZeptoLab is bringing its popular, Bafta-winning Cut the Rope game to the BlackBerry App World.

Popular travel management service TripIt used CES to unveil its Android application for the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 and Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus though I’m sure pretty much any Android tablet will do the job just as well.

Now Paul’s been doing a weekly podcast with Leo Laporte from the TWiT.tv network for what feels like ages called Windows Weekly, and sometime last year Mary-Jo…
Thanks to the success of the iPad, consumer interest in tablets is on the rise. They’ve become so popular that retailer Staples compiled an infographic that details how we use our slate devices. It’s a no-brainer that the 10-inch display is the most common size for a tablet. It’s also a given that 88.3% of people use their tablets on the road and that…
