Outside of their official Facebook app, Facebook has had a rough go when it comes to the mobile scene. (HTC First, anyone?)

It’s earnings season folks, and next on the list is Google. The search giant’s Q4 2013 earnings call begins today at 1:30 PM PST or 4:30 PM EST. Aside from the company’s Q4 2013 numbers, which are exciting enough, Google will be having an open Q&A session which will bear the most fruit. With Google’s recent…
In an attempt to get gamers to convert from Playstation to Xbox, Microsoft has conjured up a very ridiculous promotion. Customers who trade in their PS3 consoles will receive $100 off of a new Xbox One console. Haha, very funny, Microsoft. We all know that the PS3 could fetch at least $100 if not more…
As part of the Motorola acquisition deal, Lenovo may’ve also scooped the right to make the next Nexus phone, well-connected Russian blogger Eldar Murtazin has tweeted.

Google has just announced that it has struck a deal with Lenovo to purchase Motorola for $2.91 billion. The announcement comes as a pretty big surprise, given that the search giant has only been at the helm of the handset maker for less than two years. Larry Page further elaborates as to why this deal…
Boost Mobile is joining the phablet craze with a device of its own. Called Boost Max, it’s actually a device we know as ZTE Iconic Phablet, which the carrier will offer for $299.99 sans any strings attached. That cash gets you a massive phone with a 5.7-inch 720p HD screen, 8-megapixel rear + 1-megapixel front…
A month before LG officially announces the G Pro 2, the device has been caught in the wild and brought to our attention by Engadget. As you can see for yourself, the big phone builds on top of the original Optimus G Pro, with added G2-like buttons on the back. From the side, it looks…
Last time I’ve heard there were no shortage of iOS and Android apps. Google, apparently, disagrees with this as it has decided to launch a conversion tool that uses Apache Cordova to allow Chrome’s HTML5-based apps to run on two of the world’s most popular platforms.
