Going to huge tech conventions and conferences like CTIA 2011 is a rough life. You wake up very early every single day to hit meetings, keynotes to live-blog and hot hardware to track down. Then you’re walking a few miles every day as you trek the showroom floor in search of cool new gadgets, accessories…
For the less technologically adept, the thought of jailbreaking an iPhone, iPod touch or iPad might be a little intimidating. A quick glance at Craigslist will prove that there are plenty making a pretty penny off of that intimidation. Kevin Lee, a George Mason University senior, certainly didn’t think that helping a few friends and…
Apple’s iPad 2 has been selling like hotcakes everywhere it has landed, and it looks like another retail store will be added to the list of those carrying the magical tablet. However, it’s not your typical electronics retailer — it’s Toys ‘R’ Us! You know, where a kid can be a kid. So, does that…
Security! Another Android app is taking user data and sending it elsewhere, but this time it’s Pandora.

The Samsung Galaxy Tab has been available for ages now in terms of technology time, and its successors – the Tab 8.9 and 10.1 – have already been announced and are on their merry way.

Another win for Apple as a federal judge in Texas threw out a $625 million verdict against the company for allegedly infringing on three Mirror Worlds patents.

There is a story making rounds on the Internet today that FaceTime, the video calling application for the iPhone, iPod touch and iPad, is taking photos of users without permission and storing them. It’s unsettling to think that this could be happening, but it would certainly be cause for an uproar if it were. But…
T-Mobile Even More Plus customers might be feeling a bit neglected, and maybe for good reason.
