In a recent interview, Verizon CEO Ivan Seidenberg answered some pretty interesting questions about his relationship with Apple and the iPhone which led up to this week’s announcement. The most notable among them is that despite an army of rumours to the contrary, Verizon was “never in the running” for an earlier iPhone, as it…
Hockey Fans, this evening I have some news for you direct from the NHL. Not so long ago I learned that NHL GameCenter Live is now available at a new, lower price. Also (and this is the biggie for me), you can now stream live games to the iPad! Nice! So what’s the pricetag? Well,…
The image of an unknown device shown above was pulled from a newly updated version of HTC Sync. The device sports an interesting design which drops the buttons that typically grace the front of all Android handsets. Rather than an Android handset, this configuration may point to a Honeycomb tablet. Honeycomb tablets like the recently…
Verizon has just released a few updates for the Droid Pro and the Samsung Fascinate and, while none of these bring the much-wanted Android 2.3 Gingerbread, these updates do add some nice features as well as fix some major bugs. I reviewed the Samsung Fascinate a few months ago and felt the hardware and screen…
Yesterday I speculated that the CDMA iPhone would be hitting other carriers in the future since Verizon made it clear that it had a non-exclusive deal with Apple.

Earlier this week the Verizon iPhone was finally announced and it was seen as an even bigger savior than when the smartphone was first announced. Suddenly Apple and iPhone lovers were able to breathe – they had a way out of AT&T’s grasp. The promise of being able to make phone calls and use data…
The Verizon and AT&T iPhone face off in the first-ever browser showdown between the two devices. The short but sweet video was shot by CNET during the Verizon press event and purports to reveal which wireless network is faster. It’s an interesting question that will be fully answered when the Verizon iPhone becomes available to…
If you can’t beat ’em, keep attacking ’em. That seems to be T-Mobile’s modus operandi when it comes to its latest marketing campaign. It’s not content with lobbying to have its HSPA+ network legitimately defined as a “4G network,” but it also needs to attack Verizon and AT&T now both carriers have the phone T-Mobile…
Yesterday we saw the Verizon iPhone for the first time, after years of rumors and speculation, and many of us were thrilled. Now we have a choice of carriers – AT&T’s stranglehold on the Apple smartphone is over and users in bigger cities might actually have an iPhone that works. However, there is one small…
