Breaking news, information, and analysis on the latest mobile phones and mobile technology
Roughly a month ago we told you European owners of the HTC Flyer have started getting the Honeycomb update. Now the company is including Americans to the mix too, releasing the Android 3.2-based software for the Flyer Wi-Fi model users in the States. The keyword here is “Wi-Fi model” which unfortunately excludes those of you…
The last 12 months have been pretty wild in the mobile world, as we’ve seen some major partnerships, Apple and Android continue to dominate and 4G LTE start to roll out. We think that 2012 will be just as important, if not more so, than the last twelve months, so we’ve enlisted the IntoMobile team…
It’s incredible how high-end smartphones are getting more affordable so quickly. We still think of the Sensation XE as one of the best smartphones HTC has ever made (after Rezound), yet it’s available for next to nothing on an affordable plan. We have Phones 4U to “blame” for this deal which lists the Beats Audio-powered…
Well, it’s about time. HTC has decided to unlock the bootloaders on every phone launched since September 2011. The announcement came quietly in the sidebar on HTC’s Developer site, and in addition to the newer phones the company is also working to expand unlocking to older phones as well: All HTC Android devices launched after…
Notice that I’ve used “tablet” instead of “hot” to describe this deal. While this is undoubtedly a good price for the HTC Flyer, I don’t think this is really what I would call a “hot” deal. The reason is simple – HTC’s baby doesn’t have a dual-core processor and I’m not sure it will be…
Verizon’s after Christmas sales were a little ho-hum, but you might find Best Buy’s a little more exciting. They’re offering a wide range of devices across all the major U.S. carriers, and the phones are all free with a two-year contract. From Verizon, you’ve got the Samsung Stratosphere and HTC Droid Incredible 2; from AT&T,…
Verizon has a few sales on certified pre-owned smartphones and tablets going until this Thursday, December 29. Verizon has knocked $80 off the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, asking $349.99 on a two-year contract for the 16 GB model, or $449.99 for the 32 GB version. Verizon has also reduced the price of the HTC ThunderBolt…
The last 12 months have been a wild ride, as we started the year with many of us wondering how the Xoom and PlayBook could compete against the iPad, how would HP use webOS, what the iPhone 5 would look like and if 4G LTE would really come to America in a big way. There…
The International Trade Commission ruled in favor of Apple yesterday when it found that HTC infringes on one of Apple’s patents in the US. The regulatory body instituted a ban that will go into effect in April 2012. Instead of decrying the decision, the handset maker seemed please with the overall ruling. HTC points out…
Want the HTC Rezound? Sure you do – it’s the best smartphone the Taiwanese company has ever made, rocking the Galaxy Nexus-like HD (1280×720 pixels) touchscreen, while Android Gingerbread is running the show — the Ice Cream Sandwich update will be released at some point in 2012 (most likely in the first quarter). Amazon is…
