Remember those rumblings of Nokia jumping into the netbook game in the third quarter? An analyst from Lazard Capital Markets is claiming they’ve confirmed the netbook will be running Android and selling through carriers, although he’s saying it won’t hit the market until 2010. We’ve already seen developer pet projects showing Android running on portable…
Super Sleuthing: T-Mobile myTouch 3G Arriving August 5th?
We’re all well aware that the T-Mobile myTouch 3G will be available for pre-order by existing customers on July 8th. But what we still don’t know for sure is the exact launch date. T-Mobile graced us with an oh-so vague release date of ‘early August’, which left a lot of the die-hards reeling for more…
Samsung Omnia II Due on Verizon in July?
The Samsung Jet Omnia II is rumoured to be hitting Verizon shelves in July, in all of its WinMo, 5 megapixel camera, WVGA screen-bearing glory. The Omnia II was announced early last week, along with a slew of other Samsung handsets, but no information was available from carriers at the time. While Verizon will likely…
Sprint Prepping WiMAX Version of HTC Hero?
Take this one with several grains of salt and a side order of wishful thinking, but rumour has it Sprint is working on releasing their own version of the recently-announced HTC Hero, only it’ll supposedly be running on WiMAX and CDMA. I seriously doubt this will actually happen, considering Sprint CEO Dan Hesse has gone…
Rumor: TELUS Picking up the iPhone 3GS This October?
Canadian iPhone fans that are pining for the new iPhone 3GS, but are locked in over at TELUS with no desire to make a switch to Rogers (heck, who needs another monthly bill, right?)… Good news may be coming your way. A shiny-new rumor has surfaced detailing that TELUS might be getting the iPhone 3GS…
Verizon BlackBerry Tour Coming Sometime Between June 28 and August 1?
For those of you on ‘Big Red’ waiting oh so patiently for the Verizon BlackBerry Tour to arrive (you can check out a spy shot here), looks like your wait may be coming to an end. Not because the vagary of the ‘this summer’ time frame is now upon us, but because we have an…
The iPhone 3GS rattle – Tale of a manufacturer’s defect?
The iPhone 3GS is a rockin’ smartphone in so many ways. Faster performance, upgraded hardware, a full-featured (finally) iPhone OS 3.0 – we almost couldn’t ask for more. That’s why it’s so sad that the iPhone 3GS’s build quality has me singing the “shake, rattle and roll” blues. Some sort of hardware defect has reared…
HTC Firestone Release Bumped up to August?
We had heard about the Firestone first in HTC’s leaked roadmap back in March, alongside a few specifications: 3.6″ WVGA display, 8 megapixel camera, Windows Mobile 6.5, 256 MB of RAM, 512 MB ROM, 600 MHz processor, running on GSM/HSPA networks and an estimated release date of September.

The Android iPod: Meizu M8 Re-Tooling for Android?
Remember the Meizu M8? The iPhone clone that tries to do everything the iPhone can, but can’t? Looks like Meizu might be heading in a new direction. We’re hearing rumblings that the Meizu M8 is getting geared up to run Android. Very interesting. An iPhone clone running the open source Android OS. I suspect those…
Apple apologizes for Push Notification delays?
iPhone OS 3.0 is here! iPhone OS 3.0 is here! Oh, wait. Where’s all the Background Push Notification goodness that we were promised? Shouldn’t we be seeing massive updates to most of our iPhone apps, enabling Push Notification support? Nope, not yet. Apple just may not be ready to go live on a large scale…
