After a few short weeks of heavy criticism, Apple is rumored to be releasing iOS 4.3.3 soon to address a location tracking issue. For quite some time now, iPhone and iPad 3G devices had been logging and time-stamping its users’ location information and storing it in a file within its system. That information would then…
While the Motorola Atrix was touted as the world’s most powerful Android handset when it was released – and very quickly eclipsed given the rate at which Android devices are released – Motorola isn’t resting on its laurels. The manufacturer has promised more Atrix 4G-like devices in the future which will also be compatible with…
Big news is coming from BlackBerry this week, with new devices and services being announced from the smartphone manufacturer, but it’s also introducing a brand-spankin’ new OS: BlackBerry OS 7. We haven’t seen much of the new mobile operating system at this point, but we expect to catch plenty of it along with its new…
Novatel has another mobile hotspot that supports 4G technology – the Verizon LTE MiFi. It’s much like the Sprint version we saw a few weeks ago with a few noticeable differences.

Samsung Electronics wasn’t doing so hot during Q1 2011 as it saw a 30% drop in profits during that time, but managed to stay afloat thanks to its line of smartphones. With the millions of Galaxy S series of smartphones sold, it’s not surprising that it managed to somewhat offset losses and declines elsewhere. According…

Many of us have been waiting for quite some time for the HTC Flyer – a sexy Android tablet that also happens to support a stylus – since we first caught glimpse of it a few months ago. We’re happy to see that the FCC has approved the device, so it should really be coming…
