Breaking news, information, and analysis on the latest mobile phones and mobile technology
I’ve encountered similar situations to this on my iPhone over the years. Thankfully, I’ve almost always been able to spot the auto-corrected blunder before the message was sent. Thought this was a little bit of hilarious… and I hope you get a chuckle out of it too. Really, no words are necessary. Happy Sunday all.…
I think I just found the ideal piece of mobile hardware for my mom. Seriously. Called ‘John’s Phone‘, this clever little mobile device is the simplest thing I’ve seen in years… and I love it. Truly, what you see is what you get with this one. A large numerical keypad along with a ‘hello’ and…
Mobilicity launched their Ottawa network yesterday, capping off a series of openings in Vancouver and Edmonton. These are the first markets that Mobilicity has hit after an extended stay in Toronto. Calgary is the next one on the list, and should be launched next year. Yesterday, we saw some of the new handsets that Mobilicity…
I’m not going to get into the ugly details of the whole Mel Gibson / Oksana Grigorieva fiasco. Chances are you remember this one, and can recall those recordings that Oksana made of Mel going on a bit of, oh I don’t know… let’s call it a verbal rampage. Remember it now? Good. During last…
Really, these are just fingerless gloves, but the folks at FredFlare.com won’t have any of it. Dubbed (and being sold as) ‘Texting Gloves’, these cozy woollen mittens will ensure your hands stay warm (well, mostly warm) while you text away on your smartphone of choice.

Another day, another case of abuse of power by cops unwilling to have their public police activities filmed by passersby with an iPhone, Android, or any other video recording device. This time around, we bring you the story of a Connecticut man who was recently arrested by New Haven Assistant Chief of Police Chief Ariel…
A new site launched a few weeks ago called Damn You Auto Correct which showcases screenshots from poorly-worded text conversations, usually from an iPhone. Often on-screen keyboards will predict the wrong word that someone is trying to type, and speedy texters have a bad habit of hitting Send before reading it over. Damn You Autocorrect…
More often than not, passionate people will find alternate uses for today’s technology. Case in point today, the iPad Protest Sign. For real. During a recent Lithuanian protest, an iPad was spotted in use as a vehicle to carry his message. Yes, a protest sign. Folks at the gathering noticed one person that had an…
Ever download an app for your iPhone that was… well… just plain crap? Sure, we all have. Speaking from experience, I’ve gone through many a crappy app, and I end up grumbling to myself things like ‘piece of #$*!’, ‘I can’t believe I paid for this’, or ‘I want my money back’. Wait… I want…
Angry Birds for iOS and Android is a huge hit. There’s no denying that. In the App Store alone, over 10 million copies have been sold. I’d call that a certified success. Building on that interest, over the last little while I’ve posted Angry Birds Halloween wallpapers, an Angry Birds cake, and even a ‘home…
