AOL and Google are at it again as the two Internet giants have announced the renewal of their partnership for another five years. The deal entails Google’s search services being integrated with AOL content networks and properties. Of course, there will be shared revenue between the two and the expansion part comes into the mobile…
Samsung has just sent out invites to a September 16 event in which its new Media Hub and a new Android device will be discussed, and possibly launched. Could the new Android device just be the Galaxy S variant for Verizon – the Fascinate? Or will it be the Samsung Galaxy Tab that we just…
Skype Mobile, which still only works with Verizon thanks to a deal made earlier this February, can now connect over Wi-Fi. Odd, isn’t it? You’d think that Wi-Fi would have been an option from the start to relieve the U.S.’s best 3G network (in terms of coverage) of some strain. However, until now Skype had…
Fans of the Galaxy S series of devices from Samsung can get excited for the Fascinate as it is apparently arriving at Verizon stores now. Well, more specifically the launch kits are now arriving at Verizon stores, which means that we could be seeing the Fascinate any day now. This certainly jives with what we’ve…
Windows Phone 7 is upon us as it has reached the point where it hit the Release to Manufacturers milestone (RTM).

As expected, Apple has unveiled its latest iPod touch today, and it can arguably be called the best iPod touch to date. The new music player is now essentially an iPhone 4 without the phone capabilities. The iPod touch is Apple’s secret weapon when it comes to developers, as this is a major reason why…
You either love Swype, or you hate it. It doesn’t seem like there is much of a gray area with the text-entry application that lets you swipe your finger across letters instead of typing them out, one by one. The software then predicts words, with some great accuracy, or gives options of adding or learning…
Boost Mobile, part of Sprint’s pre-paid division, is now offering an unlimited plan for just $2 a day. This means that for the cost of a small coffee at a boutique cafe, you’ll get unlimited calls, texts, picture messages, e-mail access and calls to 411. This is probably a good deal if you find yourself…
You’ve gotta love how irrational we can be sometimes, as The Oatmeal poignantly illustrates.
