The U.S. Army is making some pretty solid progress towards making a smartphone a part of the military lifestyle, it seems. Starting January, iPhones will be rolled out with Common Access Card readers to provide security services to military personnel, with Android smartphones following-up in April. Coverage in the field shouldn’t be a problem with…
The Amazon MP3 store has been on Android and webOS since their respective beginnings, and now they’re adding BlackBerry to their roster. Using the new app, users will be able to search, browse, buy, and download (over Wi-Fi or 3G) any of their 14 million songs. Every track has a 30-second sample so you can…

This is what you get when you mix together an LG and a T-Mobile employee who really enjoy their work with a bit of love and refusal to fragment. I’m not sure that I could put any corporate logo, however adorable, onto my wedding cake, but good on these guys for loving their phones as…
There was a bit of a false start with Google’s location-sharing service last week, but today Latitude for iPhone is now available to download for free. Google Latitude is a service typically bundled in with their mobile Maps app that uses a smartphone’s GPS unit to share your location with a set of trusted friends.…
