Breaking news, information, and analysis on the latest mobile phones and mobile technology
The world was in disbelief when Apple took the plunge into the mobile phone market in 2007. That year during WWDC, Steve Jobs unveiled the iPhone, a wondrous little device that made phone calls, surfed the Internet and replaced the iPod – all in one. The initial reaction from competitors, or soon-to-be competitors since Apple…
T-Mobile is going to be blowing up in 2011 with HSPA+ expansion – perhaps even double the current theoretical speeds we’re not seeing – and along with it will come some pretty sweet new devices. There are already smartphones that support the super fast data network, like the G2 and myTouch 4G, and USB modems,…
The Motorola CLIQ XT, successor to the first halfway decent Android device, the CLIQ, was scheduled to get Android 2.1 Eclair some time soon. However, it looks like it has been put on hold indefinitely. The Android device was released earlier this year with 1.5, and while there were 2.0 devices floating about – like…
The HTC EVO Shift 4G for Sprint might be landing any day now as it has been spotted quite a few times this month alone, and it’s now appearing in Best Buy’s systems. The WiMax capable device is an Android handset that also has a physical QWERTY keyboard – a nice alternative to those who…

It’s been nearly a year since the Apple iPad has been announced, so we’re expecting the next generation model to be unveiled in the coming weeks. Now is as good a time as any to start speculating and gathering information on what the next-gen iPad, which we’ll call the iPad 2 for now, might have.…
The runaway hit app for the iPhone and iPad this year is undoubtedly Angry Birds. The app has been downloaded approximately a bazillion times and has killed productivity everywhere for the year 2010. Rovio has given us Christmas/holiday versions along with a creepy Halloween version of the avian-versus-swine game. Now, before the year is through,…
Path has been one slick photo-sharing app so far. It allows you to snap photos with your iPhone and share them with your closest friends rather than broadcasting to the entire planet. Its interface is clean and simple to use, and the app itself is fast and isn’t much of a battery hog. Now the…
Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo, former Nokia CEO, has been living quite the mundane life these days as Stephen Elop, former Microsoft exec, has taken over the show in Espoo. So what does a man do after 30 years of service to a company and then getting shafted for poor performance? Relaxing, apparently. OPK, as he’s often referred…
