The iPhone 4S went on sale in Apple retail stores, wireless carrier retail stores and other retail partners on Friday. Did you buy one? And if so, after a whole day with it, what do you think? Some of you might have upgraded from the iPhone 4, which proves that a dual-core processor, bump in…
The Nexus S is officially available at Best Buy stores everywhere today, and it’s running the much-anticipated Android 2.3 Gingerbread. Now that we’ve seen everything the new version of the OS offers, as well as the Nexus S, are you as impressed as you thought you’d be? Not too long ago, I asked if Android…
At today’s Facebook event about mobile, Mark Zuckerberg answered a question about an app for Apple’s tablet with “the iPad’s not mobile,” the insinuation being that it’s a fatty that you can’t really move around with. Maybe “portable” is a better term. You can see where he’s coming from though – even if the iPad…

Oh, you haven’t heard? Well! Remember how the iPhone 4’s outer band that connects the top and bottom glass plates was actually…
T-Mobile’s fleet of Sidekicks were left stranded in a data desert when Microsoft’s Danger servers crashed this weekend. Most of the data was feared lost. Luckily, some Sidekick users have had at least a portion of their Sidekick data restored. At this point, the Sidekick carrier is giving all Sidekick customers a month of free…
I’ve been using the Palm Pre for a few days now, and I am apparently a victim of the random-shutoff bug that’s plagued early production units. The random power-off problem is caused by a loose battery that sometimes loses touch with the connector – usually a result of sliding the Palm Pre’s screen up or…
