The upcoming HTC Runnymede, which we’ll probably see officially announced at the Taiwanese company’s October event, has been caught in the wild once again. This time, someone managed to take a short video of the device and posted it to YouTube. Needless to say HTC and/or their PR-marketing agency reacted and the video was pulled…
Under layers of source code, the fate of Apple products has been discovered. Right now the fastest processor in an iOS device is Apple’s 1 GHz dual-core A5 chip, which is found in the iPad 2. The company is expected to unveil the iPhone 5 soon — say, October 4th — with that same processor.…
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.
