The Nokia Nuron, otherwise known as the 5230 across the rest of the world, has been sold by T-Mobile since March of this year, but today it’s finally going to be made available to people who prefer to be on prepaid plans. Likewise the Nokia C3, which has been on sale around the world since…
AT&T isn’t expected to launch an LTE network until the middle or end of 2011, but that doesn’t mean they can’t start selling devices to support their next generation of mobile broadband. The first of three USB modems announced by AT&T, the “Adrenaline” made by LG [pictured above] will run you only $50 with a…
HTC’s third quarter numbers are in and they’re absolutely gorgeous. The Taiwanese firm scored $360 million in profits, double what they did during the same time last year. With devices like the Desire and the Legend, never mind the soon to launch Desire HD and Desire Z, plus whatever else they’ll announce between now and…

The first was former CEO Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo, who was replaced by former Microsoft Executive Stephen Elop. The second was Anssi Vanjoki, who in his straight shooting style said the reason he’s leaving is because Nokia’s Board…
Skype, the application that practically everyone who has ever heard of the internet uses for things such as calling Mom to save money or having webcam sex with their girlfriend while you’re on business, has now released an Android application. Skype is now native to both Apple’s iPhone and Google’s Android operating system, so we…
Last month I wrote about T-Mobile USA putting up their first solar powered cell tower. They did it to see how practical it would be to have one of these in the actual field, and to boost their image with Toyota Prius drivers who drink soya milk. The only problem, and I do mean only,…
Qualcomm yesterday released an “Augmented Reality SDK” for Android that they’ll hope developers will use in order to deliver “interactive 3D content for the real world”. What does that marketing drivel actually mean? Simple, they want lots of applications out there that can take advantage of the processing power of Snapdragon chipsets, and apps that…
