Breaking news, information, and analysis on the latest mobile phones and mobile technology
Remember the good ‘ol Apple Newton? Some would argue it was produced well ahead of it’s time… others would argue it was just a plain old flop. Whatever your take is on the early PDA from Apple, one can’t help but feel nostalgic about it… especially if you pack an iPhone, run a MacBook Pro,…
Apple issued a statement this morning about their well-established stance on using third-party development tools for iPhone apps. Adobe’s Creative Suite 5 was hurt most from the decision to ban developers from using such software, as it had tools for converting Flash creations into iPhone applications, but it looks like Apple will be reversing their…
It’s not like we’re at all surprised, but it really didn’t take long for iPhone hackers to find yet another way to jailbreak Apple’s latest iOS 4.1, which enables nifty new features like HDR photos, HD video uploads, Game Center, TV show rentals, and iTunes Ping on the iPhone 4, 3GS and some iPod Touch…
It seems as if the Nexus One is an artist or sorts, in the way that the official Google phone became more coveted after it was said to be no longer available. After Google stopped selling the device, the superphone became available on the Google developer site, which sold out shortly thereafter. Well, we’re happy…
Rhomobile announced RhoSync 2.0, the latest version of what they say is the “only open source sync server for enterprise data.” It is a standalone server that keeps application data current and accessible on users’ smartphones even when offline, and is available both as a hosted Software as a Service (via RhoHub) and as on-premises…
That was pretty damn quick, no? The Samsung Galaxy Tab was just officially announced yesterday, yet it has already been rooted.

Verizon Wireless announced its second annual Verizon Developer Community (VDC) Conference on September 21 and 22 at the ARIA Resort and Casino in Las Vegas. Here’s what’s it all about (in case you can’t imagine): This year’s VDC Conference will provide mobile applications developers and others with an update of Verizon Wireless’ strategy around applications…
Once we got news that the Motorola Droid X had received its very own custom recovery image, we were patiently awaiting custom Android (well, Android 2.2 Froyo, in particular) ROMs to surface. Today, Verizon’s power-packed flagship Android smartphone has been given some custom ROM love in a video demonstration that proves it’s at least possible…
We’re pretty surprised that it actually took this long for the Sprint HTC EVO 4G to get a working root method on Android 2.2 Froyo OS. The official update to Android 2.2 (Froyo) for the HTC EVO 4G seemed to put the devs through the ringer while trying to regain root access after the update…
Maybe one of the reasons Facebook has so many Apple iPhone users than Android is because some of the social network’s developers aren’t infatuated with the Android developer environment. In fact, one of them seems to despise it. Joe Hewitt made the original Facebook for Apple iPhone app and some would say that one was…
