Sprint and their prepaid brand Boost Mobile have just announced that they’re going to be carrying the LG Rumor Reflex. Is it a smartphone? Nope, it runs some proprietary dumb phone (politically correct term is feature phone) operating system. Does it have any impressive specifications? Ehhh, it has a 3 inch 400 × 240 pixel…
Amazon’s $200 tablet, the Kindle Fire, is about the only thing we can genuinely call a competitor to Apple’s iPad. According to DigiTimes, nearly 4 million of them were sold in Q4 2011, which pales in comparison to Apple’s 15 million iPads, but you have to remember that the Kindle Fire went on sale in…
Samsung has just announced that the international version of the Galaxy S II will get Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich starting on March 10th, which is tomorrow. Now before you jump and down, you really should make sure that you have the right device. If you purchased your Galaxy S II from your operator, chances…
Qualcomm, NVIDIA, ST-Ericsson, they don’t actually make chips, they design them. Companies like TSMC (Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company) are responsible for producing the actual physical chip, and the folks at SemiAccurate are saying that they’re having some issues cranking out 28 nm products. To be more precise, they say TSMC hasn’t produced a single 28…
NVIDIA’s newest, shiniest, fastest chip is called the Tegra 3. It features four ARM Cortex A9 processors and an ultra fast graphics processor that we can’t yet benchmark since there are no Tegra 3 smartphones out on the market.

Back in July 2010 a company we never heard of called LightSquared announced that they would spend $7 billion to build a wholesale 4G LTE network covering the United States and that it would be up and running by the end of 2011. So what the fuck happened? First, LightSquared had to get permission to…
Forget about the phones Nokia announced last week at Mobile World Congress, there’s two applications they demoed at the show that I want to highlight: Nokia Transport and Nokia Reading. Starting with the first one, it’s a Windows Phone app that will tell you how to reach your destination using nothing but good old walking…
HTC’s massive 4.7 inch Windows Phone, better known as the Titan, went on sale in the United States on November 20, 2011; AT&T offered it for $200 with a two year contract. Today, less than three months later, AT&T is selling the exact same device for just $0.01 with the same two year contract. What…
Last month we saw a leaked Verizon roadmap saying a device called the “LG Cayman” was going to be released on the 29th of March. Today, thanks to the guys at Pocketnow, we now know that it’s going to be called the “LG Lucid”, and best of all we even a photo of it! What…
Google has just announced that they’ve completely redesigned their Windows Phone app and added several new features. Things like auto-complete, voice search, and my location are now built-in.
