A rumor is spreading around the Interwebs that Nokia is working on a new member of its X series family – X10, which will run the latest (and greatest) Symbian 3. What instantly comes to mind is “why X10?” – that name is now almost reserved for a Sony Ericsson device, actually a whole range…
Motorola Sniffing Around Windows Phone 7 Series
Motorola CEO Sanjay Jha has let slip that they’re open to the possibility of making a Windows Mobile 7 device. Last year, Motorola confirmed that they weren’t giving up on WinMo and analysts agreed that Android alone wouldn’t be enough to save Motorola, but it’s still surprising since every one of Motorola’s smartphones within recent…
Windows Phone 7 to Fit into Three Chassis
According to Australian Microsoft Evangelists Michael Kordahi and Andrew Coates, Windows Phone Series 7 devices will need to meet three sets of specifications to be compatible – one for full touchscreen slates, one for sliders with a QWERTY keyboard, and and the third (possibly) for candybars. I’ll leave it to you to figure out which…
Apple to bring iPhone OS to other devices?
Hear that? What that could mean? Honestly, we’ve no idea, but we do know Apple has a job posting for a position that could help the company do just that.

webOS 1.4 Coming February 25?
That last rumoured launch date for Palm’s next version of webOS didn’t exactly pan out, but fresh tipsters are hinting that February 25 will be when we see a proper public release. Maybe that first leak was the due date for some internal team, who knows. If previous documents are any indicator, video recording and…
Apple ups AppStore over-the-air download limits to 20MB?
It seems Apple has upped the over-the-air download limits from 10 to 20 MB, without noticing anyone. The screenshot, which originates from Italian website AllMobileWorld, proves the point. However, the limits may have not been raised all around the world. One report from Denmark indicates that users in the country remain at a 10MB limit.…
Sony Ericsson rejected Google’s request to make Nexus One
Google would like you believe that the Nexus One was entirely their creation – the ultimate fruit of their Android loins – and ignore the fact that the Android superphone was developed and manufactured with a good deal of help from HTC. But, things could have gone differently if Sony Ericsson had accepted Google’s initial…
Is Apple Nipple-Clamping Down on Sexual Content?
Read an interesting article by Jason Kincaid over at TechCrunch this evening. I found it of particular interest because of the subject matter: Adult apps in the Apple App Store *chicka-bow-wow*. This has always been a contentious subject, with vehement arguments heard ’round the web on either side of the issue. Word has it that…
Possible Mix-up Reveals BlackBerry Storm2 Heading to Rogers?
Chalk this up to a simple goof-up, or, perhaps there is some truth to it. The folks over at BBCool stumbled across something quite interesting not so long ago. If you take a look at the March issue of Canadian Business magazine, you’ll notice an ad showing off the Storm2 (above). Nothing out of the…
MTS Set to Launch BlackBerry Curve 8530
Looks like the BlackBerry Curve 8530 is due to make an appearance on one of my local carriers, MTS. I have to admit, most of my colleagues in the area are on Rogers or TELUS, but a few here and there still rock the MTS contract, so if you want the latest iteration of the…
