Cricket has a new device in its offering. It’s the Cricket TXTM8, which looks like an ideal entry-level device for messaging and social networking. The trick is in the full slide-down QWERTY keyboard that makes message writing and chatting much easier than on a traditional numeric keypad. Rest of the specs include 2.2-inch screen, 1.3…
Low-Cost HTC Click Coming with Android?
More Android goodness today: this picture of the supposed HTC Click has bubbled up, though skimpy on details. All we have on the HTC Click is that it will be packing a 3.5mm headphone jack, has a 2.8″ screen, and an unidentified camera on the back. It’s easy to see the similarities with the Magic…

Palm seeing 40% Palm Pre return rate?
The Palm Pre is a hot new piece of kit. Palm baked all sorts of multi-touch, GPS, WiFi, eye-catching goodness into the WebOS-powered Palm Pre, and it should be given praise for what it does well.
