Breaking news, information, and analysis on the latest mobile phones and mobile technology
Since it’s the Friday before a long weekend, I thought I’d take a little time to share some of the apps that I’m digging. As I mentioned in previous posts, these apps aren’t necessarily new or cutting edge but these are the ones I wind up using and clicking more often. I do tend to…
Well, another third-party Twitter app bites the dust as popular Twitter app Twidroyd is no more. It appears that the group over at UberSocial have combined forces with the Twidroyd team for their own release of UberSocial in the Android Market.

Good, because there’s another similar ad in Korean floating around now with better clarity and a little nugget of information we hadn’t seen before: the launch…
Google Chairmain Eric Schmidt was at the keynote speech yesterday during Salesforce.com’s Dreamforce convention and he swatted away a bit of conventional wisdom by saying that Google bought Motorola for more than just patents.

Lenovo unveiled what we think is a mass-market tablet (if there is such a thing) at this year’s IFA in Berlin, Germany. The IdeaPad A1 comes with a 7-inch 1024×600 pixels touchscreen, single-core processor, 3-megapixel camera on the back, front-facing camera for video calls, Wi-Fi connectivity (no 3G), while Android 2.3 Gingerbread is running the…
Sprint and Kyocera will be adding a new Android smartphone for the masses within a week. Starting September 9th, interested users will be able to get in the “Android game” for as little as $50 without (I presume) putting their signature on a super-expensive monthly plan. The upcoming Kyocera Milano won’t be a high-end device,…
