We’ve already told you that BlackBerry is gearing towards launching another BB10-based device in November. That will be the A10 aka Aristo, which we’re hearing will rock a 5-inch screen and dual-core processor. The Canadian company didn’t want to take the “quad-core route” fearing it won’t have time to optimize its platform and that battery…
LG Display unveiled what it says is the world’s slimmest Full HD LCD panel for smartphones. The 5.2-inch panel could be used in the soon-to-be-launched LG Optimus G2 (or just G2), which will sport the same-sized display.

The research, conducted by a mobile phone comparison site MobilePhoneChecker.co.uk, polled 2,007 18+ adults from across the country to determine perceptions and…
Ubuntu just got another big supporter in the form of China Unicom. China’s second largest operator, which has more than 250 million subscribers, will join the Ubuntu Carrier Advisory Group, allowing it to get early access to software builds, devices and other potentially useful information, as well as a “period of exclusivity to ship Ubuntu…
Florida, home of the hanging chad, has earned another dubious distinction. It allegedly has become the first state in the nation to (inadvertently) ban all internet connected devices, including smartphones, says a report in The Huffington Post. The ban went into effect in April when Florida Governor Rick Scott signed a bill that prohibited the…
