Some people call Angry Birds the Mario of our generation. Unlike Nintendo however, the folks at Rovio don’t have multiple franchises that they can reboot every few years to milk money from their rabid fan base. It’s odd because the Angry Birds game, which first launched in December 2009, hasn’t changed in the slightest bit.…
Broadcom, which is a company most people know for the chips they make that grants devices like Apple’s iPhone and Nintendo’s Wii the ability to connect to the internet, has just announced that they’re going to spend $3.7 billion on a company called Netlogic. You’ve never heard of them, and there’s a reason for that.…
Meta Watch, a company that’s been working with Fossil to bring a Bluetooth enabled watch to market, has just announced that they’ve been acquired by “a team of investors led by Juha Pinomaa, former President of Suunto and a former Nokia executive”.

Earlier this month a rumor hit the internets saying that HTC is preparing to launch a 4.7 Android smartphone codenamed “Runnymede”. We couldn’t believe it, but then just a short week after said rumor first appeared, HTC launched the Titan. It runs Windows Phone Mango and has, you guessed it, a ridiculously large 4.7 inch…
The LG Optimus One is arguably the most successful Android device that no one knows about. For good reason too, it’s a midrange smartphone, so most of you guys probably don’t care about it. That being said, for the millions that currently are enjoying the Optimus One, you’ll be pleased to know that LG has…
Amazon is rumored to be coming out with a 7 inch tablet later this fall that’ll run a completely custom version of Google’s Android operating system.
