Breaking news, information, and analysis on the latest mobile phones and mobile technology
Yesterday we reported that Square, the credit card reader for the iPhone, iPod touch and iPad, was being sold by Apple online for $10. Today, Square CEO and Twitter founder Jack Dorsey announced that the credit card reader will be sold by Apple retail stores, too. It’s the same price as you’d find online –…
Well, the latest batch of jailbreak solutions for the iPhone and other iOS devices seem to have come along pretty quickly. Just a few weeks ago, the untethered jailbreak for iOS 4.3.1 was released, but very shortly afterward, Apple released 4.3.2. We all assumed that it was Apple’s way of patching up the jailbreak, but…
Apple is now selling the Square credit card reader, a product and company founded by Jack Dorsey, who is also now back at Twitter, through its online retail store. If you’re not familiar with Square, it’s basically an attachment that can connect to the iPhone, iPod touch or iPad via the 3.5mm headphone jack, and…
You just have to love these iPhone/iOS versus Android market share stories. They’re almost meaningless, but people are still so damn passionate about them.

It’s a little funny that Fortune wrote earlier this week about iOS and iPhone market share comparisons with Android, and just a few days later it’s reporting a Millenial Media study on just that – iOS versus Android market share. This time around, it seems like Apple was able to take back a bit of…
Some of you may already be familiar with mSpot, the music streaming service for your iPhone, Android device, Mac or PC, but did you also know that the service provides videos-on-demand, too? Perhaps best of all, mSpot works directly with major studios (like they do with record labels), so you’ll often find new movies available…
Hey, folks! We’re sure you’ve seen BlackBerry PlayBook reviews hitting the web the past few days, and our unit just arrived this morning. So, while we’re working away at our review to give you guys the details, we’re also live-streaming so that you can ask us questions for the next half hour or hour. Ask…
Best Buy has been one of my favorite places to buy smartphones and accessories. You want to know why?
