Recently HTC came out with a couple harsh words that will certainly make a couple of HTC Android phone owners weep a little – the company’s Android phones with Sense UI will have to wait until Christmas to see the Android 2.2 Froyo update. According to Eric Lin, HTC’s global PR and online community manager,…
Apple CEO Steve Jobs has often ripped Google by saying that it targeted Apple by jumping into the smartphone space with Android. Google’s Larry Page said Jobs is merely rewriting history to neatly fit into his narrative. Speaking to reporters, Page said: “We had been working on Android a very long time, with the notion…
Nokia may have recently scored some serious attention-grabbing product placement for its Nokia E71 at the World Cup this year. Phone fans will probably notice the little bit of technology smooshed up between those mammaries. According to a Paraguayan publication, the Finnish mobile phone maker tapped Larissa Riquelme, a model and actress who has probably…
It seems like we’ve been waiting forever for Hulu to go live with their iPhone and iPad app, and now that the Hulu Plus app is finally available, we’ve been lucky enough to take it for a spin. Hulu Plus will cost you an extra $9.99 per month for the convenience of being able to…
Android 2.2 is fast. Stupid fast. Crazy fast. I’ve only been using it since Sunday, but I can say without hesitation that my Nexus One literally feels like a new mobile phone.

The Verizon Motorola Droid X isn’t even out yet, and we’re already seeing Adobe’s Flash 10.1 Player for Android running on the device.

The HTC Desire and Samsung Galaxy S are pretty evenly matched on paper – both have 1 GHz processors, run Android 2.1, WVGA touchscreens of similar size (3.7″ versus 4″), and about the same memory (576 MB versus 512 MB). One would argue that if you were to run a Quake 2 demo on both…
One of the drawbacks of Apple’s “magical” iPad is that Apple and Steve Jobs have vehemently kept Adobe’s Flash technology from running in the Mobile Safari browser. Jobs & Co. argue that the open HTML5 standard is more than capable of delivering much of the rich online media that we’ve gotten used to over the…
One tiny detail we overlooked in Apple’s last statement confirming the iPhone 4/iOS 4 reception problem was “if you are not fully satisfied, you can return your undamaged iPhone to any Apple Retail Store or the online Apple Store within 30 days of purchase for a full refund.” Apparently this includes a change where Apple…
The Motorola Droid X will soon land on Verizon and the Android-powered touchscreen smartphone is packed to the gills with features: a 1GHz processor, 4.3-inch screen, WiFi, GPS, Bluetooth, and an 8-megapixel camera that can record 720p HD video. But we’re entering a summer period where every carrier has drool-worthy smartphones coming to market and…
