Breaking news, information, and analysis on the latest mobile phones and mobile technology
If you were hoping to get your hands on the Nokia N9, you’re going to have to do some hardcore searching because the company’s first MeeGo phone won’t be coming to the United States or the United Kingdom as the company focuses on its Windows Phone initiative. In a statement to the press, Nokia said:…
Microsoft is losing its Windows Phone general manager as 21-year-vet Charlie Kindel is leaving the company to work on an unnamed startup in the Seattle area. On his blog, Kindel says that the new project will have to do with sports, advertising, mobile, social networking and the cloud. He posted his good-bye e-mail to the…
I’ve been thinking about the prospects of Microsoft’s Windows Phone platform and how it can compete with Apple’s iOS and Google’s Android. There are no doubts in my mind the Redmond giant is seriously committed to drive its “mobile game” forward but thus far they failed to reach the tipping point. Sure developers know Microsoft…
Google made a big deal yesterday about how competitors like Microsoft, Apple and Oracle are using patent lawsuits to “strangle” Android but Microsoft is firing back and, quite frankly, making Google look pretty silly. Essentially, Google said that companies like Microsoft and other Android competitors were teaming up for a “a hostile, organized campaign” against…

NTP launched into a patent lawsuit frenzy last year, suing giants like Apple, Google, Microsoft, Yahoo!, Motorola, LG, HTC, and major U.S. carriers like AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, and Sprint. The seven patents in question revolved around mobile e-mail, and though the U.S. Court of Appeals sought to invalidate the patent for being unreasonably broad, the…
Microsoft had a great quarter recently but we pointed out that Windows Phone 7 was basically nowhere to be found on its earnings sheet. Well, the folks at the Seattle PI have done some digging and found that revenues from Microsoft’s mobile division may have been abysmal. The Windows Phone division (and Windows Mobile) is…
I guess this is a joint gig of Vodafone, HTC and Microsoft to release an update for the HTC-made Windows Phone 7 device – Trophy, which is getting slightly improved software as we speak. No it’s not the big Mango update — rather we’re talking about something significantly smaller, made to address hardware related issues…
All week, we’ve been talking about hot phones that are out now on U.S. carriers and are ripe for the picking, but if you’re into tech, you know that the next big thing is always right around the corner. Every platform has something to offer, so we took a glimpse into the future of every…
