Breaking news, information, and analysis on the latest mobile phones and mobile technology
I’ve been thinking about the prospects of Microsoft’s Windows Phone platform and how it can compete with Apple’s iOS and Google’s Android. There are no doubts in my mind the Redmond giant is seriously committed to drive its “mobile game” forward but thus far they failed to reach the tipping point. Sure developers know Microsoft…
Sprint has just announced the Samsung Conquer 4G, the first WiMax 4G smartphone that gets just under the $100 mark. This is great news for the low-end market and consumers who don’t need all the bells and whistles of high-end Android smartphones. But that doesn’t mean that Sprint users will be excluded from all the…
AT&T has been saying for months that it will crack down on jailbroken iPhone users who are using its network for unlimited tethering. The carrier has separate individual plans for iPhone tethering, but some users have circumvented the plans by jailbreaking their iPhones. Their free and unlimited tethering days, however, seem to be over. Some…
We can add more rumors to the iPhone 5 pile in terms of an October release as we’ve just learned that China Telecom might be landing the Apple smartphone that month. Apparently, China Telecom has entered into a “preliminary agreement” with Apple to sell the iPhone 5 before the end of October, along with a…
Apple’s iOS 5 for the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch is bringing a lot of new features that we’re eagerly waiting for. The notification system is vastly improved, certain apps will be integrated throughout the OS and iCloud will make the overall experience a pleasure. So, when can we expect iOS 5 to hit? Sooner…
Technology still amazes me even though I’m immersed in it every day. It’s stuff like extraordinarily tiny glass lenses that can turn mobile phones into projectors that make me saw, “Sweeeet.” And just looking at the image above, I’m confident that you readers will think the same. Look at it, it’s small like a granule…
Lately I’ve been thinking about all the tablet options available today. If you’re buying yourself the Apple iPad, you don’t have to think about it – Apple thinks the 9.7-inch screen is perfect and it doesn’t offer any other option. On the other hand, having Apple’s product offers more choice in terms of apps you…
Yesterday we talked about top apps for the NOOK Color and today we’ll focus on games. As you can imagine, being an ebook centric device, B&N’s tablet is not about high-end games with 3D graphics. Rather I see it as a casual gaming device with some fun titles you can play over and over again.…
With iPhone 5 rumors in a flurry, we caught a glimpse of what could have been the iPhone 5 last week. However, the photo was blurry and grainy, and it was shot at a distance so we couldn’t get a good look at it. This time around, high-resolution photos have surfaced, and it looks like…
We’ve been expecting the iPhone 5 to launch this September, hopefully coinciding with the release of iOS 5. All rumors point towards a September launch, but a new rumor sets it in October. It makes a little bit of sense if Apple plans to hold its usual music event in September as it did last…
