Foursquare has seen some incredible growth in the past year as it went from having 100,000 users to 4.5 million, and it seems that the company is having some difficulty keeping up with the surge. Foursquare went from 5 employees to 35 during that time, and it looks like it’s expanding as quickly as it…
Last week we heard about Oprah’s new iPad app and didn’t think too much of it. Just another publication moving into the future and getting an iPad app. No biggie. But we didn’t think that the Apple tablet would be topping Oprah’s “Favorite Things” list, which is historically a pretty good list to get on…
The LG Optimus M finds its way to MetroPCS this week for just $230, contract free. The Android 2.2 handset takes a different design cue from the rest of the Android handsets we’ve seen out there, and the metal accents and overall design is very much what we’ve come to expect from LG. Personally, I…
Starting November 22 and going until November 29, U.S. Cellular is going to be offering up a $150 smartphone activation credit for those who want to start new smartphone lines.

If you’ve been holding off on grabbing a T-Mobile G2 because you’re waiting for the price to go down, it’s probably not going to get any better than what Target will be offering tomorrow. It looks like the Android handset will be going for just $49.99 starting tomorrow with a new, two-year contract. That’s about…
There was a recent rumor that Apple was planning a built-in SIM card for future devices, and shortly after that the GSMA announced its support of the idea. Basically, the SIM card would be built into the device rather than being swappable by carriers, and it would be up to the individual to activate it…
There has been a rumor going around saying that Sony Ericsson is getting ready to build Windows Phone 7 handsets, but the company was quick to put out that flame today.
