Breaking news, information, and analysis on the latest mobile phones and mobile technology
A California woman is suing Apple because she claims that iOS 4 makes older versions of the iPhone unusable. She claims that the “iBrick” upgrade forces people to buy the iPhone 4. The woman, who I’m not going to name because it doesn’t really matter, is seeking a class-action status because of the woes that…
We knew T-Mobile USA was going to ramp up their “America’s Largest 4G Network” advertising campaign tonight to herald the benefits of HSPA+, so it’s not too surprising to see T-Mobile posting a new ad for the myTouch 4G on their YouTube account. In the ad, entitled “Piggyback,” T-Mobile harps on the “I’m a Mac/iPhone”…
Two of the hottest phones coming to market are undoubtedly the MyTouch 4G and Desire HD. Both made by HTC, the handsets share similar specs in some departments, and so we figured we’d benchmark both devices with Quadrant to see exactly how they both fared. With scores that destroy a Nexus One with Froyo, it’s…
Nepali wireless operator Ncell and Swedish carrier TeliaSonera have constructed the first 3G wireless network for Mount Everest. The pair built a network at an altitude of up to 5,200 meters that blankets the Everest basecamp area and extends all the way to the summit of the world’s highest mountain. The proof is in the pudding…
It’s that time of year again, when girls dress down and dudes dress up to celebrate Halloween – so why not spend this year’s costumed festivities dressed like Steve Jobs? The folks at Scoopertino have “unveiled” Apple’s latest, Steve Jobs-inspired, iWear fashion line just in time for Halloween. Armed with the “Think Different, dress alike”…
Yesterday, Apple admitted that they’ve delayed the white iPhone 4 until the spring (although other rumours say it’s been canned altogether). One way or the other, the iPhone 4 won’t be available any time soon in white, and as such, even the “coming soon” placeholder has been pulled from Apple’s online store. The reasons for…
After “Note to God” and “Note to Haiti,” MEDL Mobile is out with another “Note to” app. This time their “Note to Obama” allows U.S. citizens (and I guess the rest of the world) to leave their two cents to the 44th President of the United States of America. In order to participate, all you…
After much ado, RIM has officially announced the BlackBerry Bold 9780 – a refresh on the Bold 9700, including an upgraded camera, more memory, and all of the bells and whistles that come with OS 6. We’ve heard directly from Telus and Rogers confirming eventual availability, and we’re guessing Bell will also be getting it…
We have yet to see many compelling Android applications made with Adobe’s Air yet, but a new app called Skytunes might just change our perspective on that. Skytunes is a new Android app that allows you to listen to your home music collection from your PC to your phone from anywhere. There are a few…
We watched the replay of the live stream from earlier this morning where RIM’s co-CEO Mike Lazaridis showed off the BlackBerry PlayBook tablet, and snagged the full demo for those of you who missed it. For those unfamiliar, the PlayBook has a 5 megapixel camera on the back, a video conferencing camera on the front,…
