The successor to Motorola’s svelte and dated MotoMING A1200 MING PDA phone has been a long time in the making. Motorola’s original A1200 MING was a great idea, but it just never quite captured a significant following in the US – although you can still find some brand-new (albeit years-old) A1200 MING handsets in some…

Palm snubs holiday cheer and lays off employees?
We’re hearing that Palm’s burning a bunch of holiday good-will and laying of employees just in time to spoil the holiday mood.

TomTom developing GPS module for iPhone?
We can’t tell you how much we love grainy spy-shots and questionable rumors. Like this one, for example.

Verizon blaming delayed Palm Treo 755p for negative Q4 2007 forecast?

Sony Ericsson PSP phone should be the dual-sliding device!
My impressions are that Muhummad-oli from Esato forums was right on target when he designed this concept device. I do agree with him that the rumored PSP phone should be the dual-sliding device just like the Nokia N95 or Samsung i450. Just in this case, on slide down user would use a numeric keypad for…
Is this the first Nokia device with S60 Touch UI? Nah, it’s the Bluetooth GPS module
Thorsten from NokiaPort.de managed to capture a screen from Nokia’s presentation showing the handset maker’s known and one unknown device. It’s only natural to ask – is this the first S60 Touch enabled device? We can’t see any buttons on the surface of the device, so we may be onto something. Or this is just…
