Breaking news, information, and analysis on the latest mobile phones and mobile technology
When you first startup a mobile phone running Google’s Android operating system it asks you for your Google account credentials. Several minutes later and all your email, calendar details, and contacts just magically appear on the device. It’s one of the coolest thing the internet has ever enabled. Equally awesome is that you could add…
Today marks the day that Epic’s and People Can Fly’s newest IP, Bulletstorm, is released on the PC, Xbox 360, and PS3. If you’ve never heard of People Can Fly, then you probably have never played their big PC hit, Painkiller. If you own an iPhone, then you’re in luck as Chillingo is currently working…
I can’t believe it’s been a little over a year since Square-Enix released Final Fantasy I & II on the iPhone and it looks like the Final Fantasy iOS train is continuing its journey as Square Enix announced they’ll be releasing Final Fantasy III on the iPhone next month.

Twitter for BlackBerry has been updated in the Beta Zone to 1.1, enabling a host of new features to the RIM-built social networking app. The biggest feature is one I’ve been waiting for since the official app first came out – geotagging support.

I dunno, maybe someone in the passenger seat is a little chilly and couldn’t be…
I’ve mentioned growing up at local arcades in the late 80’s / early 90’s many times when a classic game I remember from my childhood is getting an iOS version. I most recently mentioned my old arcade gaming roots with the news of Double Dragon getting an iOS remake, and it looks like I’ll be…
During a presentation at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, AT&T CEO Randall Stephenson said that platform-specific app stores like Apple’s AppStore and Google’s Android Market are bad for consumers.

Facebook Messenger is a new iOS app that makes it easy to stay in touch with your e-buddies. Touted as the “ultimate Voice Chat app,” it allows users to call their Facebook friends for free… and do few other things as well.
