Breaking news, information, and analysis on the latest mobile phones and mobile technology
Do you find yourself slapping all those retro filters on photos that you take with your iPhone 4? Sure, the image sensor technology in the device has come a long way – backlit sensors, larger pixels, better low-light capture, touch focus/light-metering options – but it just doesn’t look as cool as a scratched up Polaroid…
When Camera+ was released again after a few month hiatus, I was a little skeptical about just how well it would do in a sea of photography apps. Of course, it has some big name backing – I’m sure every photographer out there who belongs on a social network of some kind knows who Lisa…
The Japanese have always had a warm spot in our hearts. Their advanced mobile devices, awesome culture, sublime cuisine, and overall quirkiness, make us want to live there if it wasn’t for the language barrier. Now we’re hearing even more wacky news from the Land of the Rising Sun: Kumiko Kudo, 44 year old owner…
Over the Christmas weekend, my usual flow of app downloads pretty much ground to a slow saunter. I’m usually purchasing and downloading apps on a somewhat frequent basis, but with friends and family all around, it was clearly time to shift priorities.

Apple and a handful of iPhone app developers, like Pandora, Paper Toss, the Weather Channel, and Dictionary.com are under legal fire for sending personal information to advertisers without the consent of app users.

If you’re like me, the Back to the Future Trilogy was well and truly part of your happy childhood. With fond memories of those movies clear as day in your head, chances are you will do anything to make time travel possible… and, if you know your facts about time travel like I do, you’ll…
I promised to keep all of you gamers up-to-date on the new ‘Back to the Future‘ title coming out for iOS… and over the holidays, there was some movement on this front. Just before Christmas, Telltale games released the PC and Mac version of Back to the Future: Episode 1… much to my delight. It’s…
T-Mobile is always cracking me up. In a recent commercial, the carrier pokes fun at the iPhone 4 and AT&T. Apparently, FaceTime – a video calling feature available only on the iPhone 4 – can’t be fully supported by AT&T’s network, hence its Wi-Fi only limitation. Fair enough, but wasn’t T-Mobile the one whining last…
In a bit of a turnaround, Papa John’s has just released an iPhone app after previously saying it didn’t need to. While rivals like Pizza Hut had apps out years ago, Papa John’s previously called an iPhone app a “dud” and it instead focused on the mobile web. Now that there are more than 50…
