Love ’em or hate ’em, Pomplamoose can really rock the hell out of the covers that they do. Their arrangements are pretty clever, and they’re clearly musically gifted, so perhaps it was only a matter of time before they gave Angry Birds some of their treatment. The popular game has seeped deep into every crevice…
Apple has just surpassed Google as the world’s most valued brand as the Cupertino-based company reached $153 in terms of brand value. Google, on the other hand, slipped to $111.5 billion followed by IBM and McDonald’s. Apple has largely been helped by its iPhone and iPad devices, along with the new iMac computer that launched…
Next week, Nokia plans on holding some kind of event or meeting in Athens, Greece, but there aren’t too many more details on what might be going on out there. The last time we saw one of these save-the-date invites, we didn’t really hear any big news from the Finnish manufacturer. So we’re going to…
Everyone is talking about AT&T’s acquisition of T-Mobile and whether or not it’s good or bad for the industry. Most are leaning towards the former, especially given AT&T’s reputation in the wireless space since the introduction of the iPhone, and many industry leaders haven’t been shy about their stance. Dan Hesse, CEO of Sprint, for…
NVIDIA has just announced that it has agreed to acquire soft modem company Icera, a baseband and RF technology company who makes chipsets and other RF components.

That didn’t take long, did it? PwnageTool and redsn0w will now support iOS 4.3.3 users who want an untethered jailbreak solution. I can’t remember the last time three successive jailbreak solutions for the iPhone came out just days after Apple updated its software. One has to wonder whether Apple has bigger things in mind, or…
T-Mobile USA Q1 2011 numbers are out, and things aren’t looking very promising for the nation’s fourth largest carrier. During the quarter, T-Mobile lost a net 99,000 subscribers, which is pretty steep compared to a net customer loss of 23,000 in the fourth quarter 2010. And perhaps the news that the carrier could be acquired…
Apple is slowly-but-surely rising to greater heights worldwide as it just took Nokia for its top spot in smartphone market share in western Europe. The shift is significant because that is Nokia’s stomping grounds. If there is any name in mobile technology trusted and respected in that part of the world, it’s Nokia. However, without…
We’re here in NYC at the Samsung and AT&T event and we’ve got a nice first-look at the new Infuse 4G. It’s an Android Froyo device, that’s 2.2.1 for those of you half asleep out there, and it is a beast. The device was touted as the most powerful and the fastest device that AT&T…
