Your wireless operator doesn’t care whether you like Android, the iPhone, or are stuck in the 90s and just talk and text. As long as you give them money, they’re happy. Their worst fear is churn, which is defined as you leaving them for a competitor’s network. Over the years operators have figured out ways…
Most of our readers are from the United States or Canada where mobile operators usually ask for about $200 for new smartphones alongside a two-year contract. Even if you get unlimited plan that includes mobile data, you’ll still have to pay separately for the phone. Sure, it’s not the full price, but again it’s few…
You know that quad-core mobile processors are just around the corner and we expect to see the first such tablet (powered by NVidia’s Kal-el quad-core CPU) to be announced soon – Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime.
