Bell and Telus billing customers for incoming SMS text messages
While the rest of the US will likely wallow in the shared misery of Canadian subscribers being charged for incoming text messages, our friends to the North are none-too-happy about the situation.

Toshiba Protege G910 reviewed – More cons than pros
When does a Windows Mobile 6.0-powered smartphone with a WVGA display sporting the highest pixel density of any VGA smartphone on market?

Sidekick Gekko/Gecco/Aspen to be branded as Sidekick 2008?
The latest rumor regarding the oft-speculated Sidekick Gekko/Gecco/Aspen (depending on which particular rumor you’re thinking about) comes to us wrapped in completely unsubstantiated packaging.

AT&T “doubling” 3G network in anticipation of iPhone 3G data demands
If there’s one thing that AT&T learned from last year’s EDGE network-overload, it’s that mobs and hoards of over-eager iPhone owners are apt to overload the No. 1 US wireless carrier’s data network. So, on the eve of the US iPhone 3G launch, AT&T has announced that it is “doubling” the capacity of their 3G…
Apple gets real with iPhone “Remote” application
As expected, the AppStore is showing Apple’s take on an iPhone-as-remote-control application. Dubbed, “Remote” (iTunes link), the native application, available through the AppStore gives users the ability to control iTunes directly through their iPhone. “Remote” is available for free and requires that your iPhone and iTunes-computer are hooked up to the same WiFi network.
