If you haven’t noticed, megapixel count in mobile phones aren’t everything and the iPhone 4’s 5 megapixel camera has put most Android phones with 8 megapixel cameras to shame. Enter the myTouch 4G Slide, which HTC is saying has the most advanced camera to date on a mobile phone. Well, we put the to hot…
Yesterday, 4G went live for the first time in Canada, right here in my hometown of Ottawa, Ontario. The first Rogers LTE network was announced earlier last month, and though there aren’t any smartphones available to make use of the (up to) 75 Mbps data speeds, Rogers does have an internet stick to get the…
The first dual-core LTE handset for Verizon has been spotted with a new design that’s certainly more appealing than its previous clunky hardware we saw earlier this year.

Bridge, as you might have heard, is the only way you can get core PIM applications on RIM’s 7-inch tablet, including e-mail, address book, memopad, and calendar. The web browser and app store offer…
When AIM and GTalk were my primary instant messaging tools, Skype was mainly for video calling. So when mobile apps were created for the client, I was excited for some video chat action on my phone–especially on Android. Unfortunately, it was a long wait before video calling capabilities landed on the Google mobile platform, but…
