A popular mobile music app, Grooveshark, has been removed from the Android Market for violating developer terms of service. It’s likely to have something to do with copyright infringement since Grooveshark operates by allowing users to upload music to the communal database for others to play on demand. Apple kicked Grooveshark from the iPhone App…
A few glimpses of the upgraded BlackBerry Messenger app launching in OS 6.1 have snuck out, and though it mostly looks the same as what we have now, you can now add a colour to particular contacts so incoming messages are clearly recognizable. I’m going to guess that these were somehow ripped from the OS…
That was fast. Yesterday, Toyota made the bold move of publicly supporting the iPhone jailbreak market by launching an ad campaign with a theme on Cydia. Apple, not a big fan of folks doing stuff on their iPhone that don’t fit within their utopian vision, growled at Toyota and had them remove the theme from…
Boost Mobile (an MVNO running on Sprint’s network), has set up a landing page for the Samsung Galaxy Prevail. Specs for now are slim, but it promises to have Android 2.2, a 3.2-inch touchscreen, a 2 megapixel camera, GPS, and stereo Bluetooth support. As you might expect, this is one is priced for the entry-level:…
A recent survey by ChangeWave asked some 4,000 iPhone owners across AT&T and Verizon about dropped calls, and as you might expect, 4.8% reported dropped calls over the last 90 days on AT&T, while Verizon only reported 1.8%.

Yesterday, we got a look at some tutorial videos for the upcoming BlackBerry Bold Touch 9930 which were extracted from an OS 6.1 leak, and to join those clips are a few of the BlackBerry Touch “Monaco” (not to be confused with the lower-end Curve Touch). The key layout is similar to the Bold Touch…
World of Goo, an excellent physics puzzle game for the Wii and PC, recently landed on the iPad 2, and will be making its way to the smaller screen soon, according to developer 2D Boy. The game has been submitted, and once it’s accepted, it will be $0.99 for the first 24 hours after release…
During an interview last night, Sony CEO Howard Stringer said the ongoing instability in Japan would delay shipments of camera parts to Apple, and followed up by saying, “it always puzzles me, why would I make Apple the best camera?” This leads us to believe the iPhone 5 will have at least an 8 megapixel…
The other day, BlackBerry OS 6.1 was leaked, and ever since folks have been busy rooting around for something interesting. A whole batch of videos have been wrung out, the most exciting of which is a full hardware tour, mainly since we’ve only ever really seen the device from the front. The frame originally looked…
