Monday was a big day for RIM as they announced the long-rumored BlackBerry PlayBook. tablet, previously known as the BlackBerry BlackPad (Cobalt), and powered by the recently-acquired QNX operating system. The media jumped on to praise the device, but there was also a good amount of criticism circulating the blogosphere. There are no doubts in…
It wasn’t much of a surprise but Nokia finally axed Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo in favor of a former Microsoft executive, Stephen Elop. Interestingly enough, Elop is the first non-Finnish person to head Nokia in its 145 year history but the company will need more than a fresh perspective to stay relevant in an increasingly competitive smartphone…
An article by Dan Frommer on Business Insider prompted me to write this post. In its piece, Dan argues that RIM is the next Palm, pointing out similarities between the two companies. Palm used to sell tons of Treo devices just like RIM does today, but it failed eventually (and was acquired by HP). The…
iSuppli recently did a teardown for the HTC Droid Incredible, and has come out and said that the device could be the Nexus Two because the components to make the device are so similar. We get the point iSuppli is trying to make, but it just doesn’t sit right with us. The HTC Incredible may…
I have a confession to make. I’m waiting for the Toshiba K01 to be released to buy one. Yap, I want a Windows Mobile phone. There are few reasons for that: I like connecting my Bluetooth keyboard to the phone. HID profile which is required for connecting such input devices is not supported in Android.…

It was a great idea initially to provide users with 16:9 video watching experience, but the industry went forward. WVGA is now de facto standard for any…
The HTC Droid Incredible is one of the best Android devices to date. While the Sprint Evo 4G eclipses the Incredible in terms of specs, Verizon’s Droid-killer will be out before the Evo, and is still a very viable alternative. But is it worth switching to Verizon for? Depending on what device you have in…
Now that some of the smoke has cleared about the iPhone 4.0 unveiling, we thought it would be fun to gauge the reaction of the IntoMobile team. Some felt it was a much-needed boost with potentially game-changing elements, while others were less than impressed by Apple’s “magic.” Read on after the jump and weigh in…
If I were at Amazon I would be scared of Apple. Let’s face it, after grabbing the iPad, not many people will want an additional device just for reading. Sure, the Kindle is a way much better ebook reader, but iPad offers so much more. And in that sense, I really don’t see that many…
The iPad is coming! So are the clones. While Apple fanboys will say that all tablets are iClones, this seems to be the clone of clones we have on our hands. Running Android, the skin of this tablet is pretty much identical to the iPad OS, from the picture, at least. The Android tablet is…
