Breaking news, information, and analysis on the latest mobile phones and mobile technology
Believe it or not, between 2002 and 2006 Intel made processors for mobile phones that used ARM’s architecture. The division responsible for all that amazing work was known as XScale. Intel sold XScale to Marvell during the summer of 2006, one year before Apple released the iPhone and redefined what a mobile phone was capable…
Facebook changes their website so often these days that it feels like you need to retrain yourself on how to use their service almost weekly. One particular feature they like to tweak on a semi regular basis is the news feed. It’s the first thing you see when you go to their website, a long…
Clearwire’s a bit of a funny compny. Sprint has a majority stake in them, yet they treat Clearwire like they’re some sort of distant relative that’s not really a relative at all. Thing is Sprint can’t actually function with Clearwire because Clearwire is responsible for delivering Sprint’s WiMAX network, the one that Sprint called 4G…
Social media is a double edged sword. On one hand companies can now tell their story directly to their customers, rendering institutions such as IntoMobile effectively useless for those who want marketing fluff and could care less about objectivity.

The Nokia N8, released back in October 2010, hasn’t had much competition in the imagining department during the past 14 months. Not even from the wildly popular iPhone 4S. It’s a testament to Nokia’s serious commitment to producing some of the best camera phones to ever hit the market. Now several weeks ago we reported…
Back in October we reported that Nokia was going to focus a large chunk of their marketing efforts on young people. At the time we laid the snark down pretty thick and said that of course they’re going to try and seduce young people, it’s because everyone in their late 20s to early 30s has…
When Microsoft launched OneNote for the Apple iPhone back in January of this year, we had to slap ourselves into believing what was happening before our very eyes. Was Microsoft seriously going to start porting their cash cow, Microsoft Office, to Apple’s new mobile device platform? Turns out the answer was no since here we…
Will Coleman, Developer Evangelist and Product Manager at Microsoft UK, started a whole bunch of unnecessary hubub late last week when he told TechRadar that Windows Phone 7.5 Mango has NFC support, but OEMs had decided for some strage reason to forgo building smartphones that have NFC chips inside. Microsoft issued a response yesterday to…
