Breaking news, information, and analysis on the latest mobile phones and mobile technology
There’s some potentially huge news popping up out of Spain, as reports suggest that Google is doling out its own SIM cards to employees in what could be the first step to it launching its own carrier in the country. Technically, this would be what’s known as a Mobile Virtual Network Operator or an MVNO,…
AT&T may be rolling out Mango, the update that will dramatically improve Windows Phone 7, on September 27 according to leaked information. This definitely jives with the details that we reported on yesterday, wherein we said the update is coming within the next week or two. The info was contained within a series of e-mails…
Reports from anonymous sources “close to the matter” claim Samsung is getting ready to block sales of the iPhone 5 in Europe, though they haven’t quite settled in which countries they’ll be launching legal action. South Korea is a natural choice, but Europe is apparently in discussions, and would put a significantly larger wrench into…
Aside from the Motorola Electrify, U.S. Cellular will be adding another Android smartphone to its offering in the next couple of days (or weeks). It’s the HTC Hero S, which as far as we see is the carrier’s version of the Kingdom (EVO Design 4G). If that’s true (and we think it is), expect a…
It looks like two iPhone models will be coming in October, presumably the iPhone 5 and iPhone 4S that everyone’s been yapping about. Forget what I said this morning about how tiring and obnoxious iPhone rumors are, because if we’re to talk about sources familiar with the matter, this one happens to sit on the…
What a mess. The board at HP is reportedly set to meet about potentially ousting CEO Leo Apotheker after he’s held the top spot for less than a year. If you remember, Apotheker took over for Mark Hurd, who resigned after some embarrassing personal allegations came out. The two men apparently had very different visions…
Rumor has it that Apple is holding its iPhone 5 event on October 4, and quite frankly, I just really don’t care anymore. It’s not that I don’t care about the iPhone 5’s release, but how many announcement and launch date rumors have we heard in the past two weeks along? Five? Eight? So before…
Word is that the iPhone 5, which may launch alongside a souped-up version of the iPhone 4, an iPhone 4S, is going to find its way into the four major carriers in the U.S. However, T-Mobile CMO Cole Brodman, speaking at a town hall meeting for the carrier, might have inadvertently outed the possibility of…
Our friends at BGR got a nice little scoop with some hands-on shots of what appears to Motorola’s followup to the Atrix. Will the Atrix 2 (codenamed: Edison) be able to keep up with the plethora of superphones we’re seeing on the market? The report says that the Atrix 2 will have a dual-core processor,…
We’ve already heard that HP wanted to launch a 7-inch version of a webOS tablet called TouchPad Go (Opal). Unfortunately, the company killed its mobile platform before such a product was ever released, and we never got to meet TouchPad’s smaller brother. Luckily few TouchPad Go units made it out into the wild and we’re…
