Remember when Apple signed that licensing deal with Liquidmetal Technologies, the company that made some space-age metal alloys? The one that helped Liquidmetal relieve itself of an $11 million dollar debt? Well, while we’ve been sitting here thinking of Terminators and transforming iPhone smartphones, apparently Apple has already begun with a new product that puts…
Although we’ve had the luxury of owning the iPhone 4 for nearly two months now, not everyone has been so lucky. For China Unicom customers, it must have been a long wait, but the iPhone 4 will be hitting the carrier next month. While there have been issues with selling Wi-Fi capable iPhones in China…
Tough break for RIM who sold 150,000 BlackBerry Torch handsets at launch, but sales were labeled “underwhelming” by Goldman Sachs. Considering the general consensus on the BlackBerry Torch 9800, that it’s not really a game changer and will likely only appeal to hardcore BlackBerry fanatics, 150,000 smartphones at launch isn’t all that bad. Of course,…
It looks like US Cellular is finally getting a decent BlackBerry handset in its line-up with the Bold 9650. Adding to the Pearl Flip and Curve 8530, US Cellular will be offering the 9650 for $230 with a contract. Not too shabby for a phone that runs on a pretty solid EV-DO Rev. A network…

There’s no doubt that Apple has some hot games in its iTunes app market, and it has even taken some jabs at the Sony PSP and Nintendo DS. Oh, but Apple, these companies are dedicating gaming folks and you’re stepping a little out of your league. Sure, you might have other mobile platforms beat in…
This morning I suggested that perhaps very lukewarm BlackBerry Torch sales might be bolstered by lowering the price. And what do you know–Amazon is selling the “best BlackBerry ever” for half of what you’d nab it for from AT&T. Of course, for the nice low price of $99.99 you’ll still have to sign an agreement…
Sprint football fans must have had their hearts crushed when opening NFL Mobile one day only to find that it had been replaced by something less cool–Sprint Football Live. That’s right, all professional football games were stripped from those fans when Verizon announced its deal with the NFL. Now you can still get live updates…
The Verizon iPhone rumor mill keeps churning, but as we move along it seems like more evidence continues to pile on, too. It’s no surprise to anyone that many Verizon customers are wanting the Apple smartphone. Hell, even AT&T iPhone customers want to jump ship for greener pastures: up to 34% of current iPhone owners…
