Remember the Old Spice Guy, Isaiah Mustafa? Of course you do. And you probably remember that we mentioned he was commissioned by Microsoft to advertise Windows Phone 7 down in Australia. Wasting no time at all, Mustafa was on an Australian radio program talking Windows Phone 7 and seducing the ladies of the room —…
While Nokia is suffering a mass exodus of execs and its latest flagship – the N8 – received horrid reviews, it’s still managing to outsell Apple’s iPhone 2 to 1 in terms of smartphones. Of course, this isn’t a surprise since the Finnish company has a tremendous global presence and is the world’s largest mobile…
AT&T has posted one killer quarter thanks to the Apple iPhone. We already knew that Apple had strong numbers after getting news from its earnings call that it sold 14.1 million iPhones over the summer. Now AT&T is announcing that it activated 5.4 million iPhone smartphones during that time. These numbers are a record in…
This morning I was excited to find a new version of Angry Birds in the iTunes store. It’s a Halloween special edition that’s available only for iOS. Of course, there were no surprises here as it was announced yesterday that the new version of the game would be arriving today. What do I think so…

Rovio announced on its Twitter account that there will be a special version of its hugely popular game in an update that will become available on October 21, just 10 days before Halloween. However, it’s only going to be updated…
Listen up rebels and anti-establishment fiends, PwnageTool 4.1 is now up and running thanks to the iPhone Dev-Team. The biggest news in addition to the usual iPhone/iPod hacks is the addition of the Apple 2G jailbreak. Of course, like all jailbreaks of late (including both limera1n and greenpois0n), this is also untethered. Here’s what the…
Virgin Mobile is stepping up its payLo plans with a new $30 bundle. While it’s a step up from its $20 plans, it’s still pretty economical given its offerings. With the new payLo option, you get 1500 minutes, 500 messages and 10MB of web access. It might not seem like a whole lot to us…
It looks like Lenovo is taking a cue from LG and holding off on an iPad competitor until the Honeycomb version of Android is released. Lenovo, who doesn’t have much of a presence in the mobile market, is looking to make a splash with its very own tablet. If Android Honeycomb arrives on time, which…
