Back in November, Apple’s iPhone 3G overtook the almighty RAZR as the best-selling handset on US soil, and merely a week later, analysts pinpointed Motorola (and Sony Ericsson, in fairness) as being handset makers that could have a tough time “weathering the storm.” Now, a new piece of research from MultiMedia [...]

For me, the best part of buying my original iPhone was the activation process. After giving the guy at the AT&T Store my money, he popped my unopened iPhone into a bag and sent me on my way.
Once I was home, I connected my precious to my iMac, launched iTunes and, about fifteen [...]

Okay, so maybe Android isn’t ready for prime time — we’re not here to judge, at least not at the moment — but Sprint’s still fully committed to launching a Google-powered set down the road, as evidenced by Miner’s cameo at its developer conference tomorrow.

Do you use the directional pad on your Windows Mobile Professional devices? The latest trend in the mobile space is to forego hardware navigational controls all together in favor of the touchscreen. Both the BlackBerry Storm and HTC Touch HD have basic buttons for Call Send/End, Home, and Back. The Samsung Omnia and Epix have [...]
The results for this year’s SPB Software House 2008 Survey are in.
From the results, an overwhelming majority of users reported using a touchscreen Windows Mobile device. HTC leads the pack of device makers. Users care about the design of their device and WiFi functionality. Also, of concern is the amount of memory on a [...]
While the Apple iTunes App Store for the iPod Touch and iPhone have helped to popularize downloadable and third-party content for the mobile space, it is far from perfect. Shackled by the regulatory chains of Apple’s approval process–which thus far has been inconsistent–and offers no trials or demos, the App Store can stand to improve. [...]

I don’t have much more info on these pictures except they were made by Picasa user magnus mouse using LEDs and lasers with a really long exposure. Just like they used to do in the olden days except with a flashlight or a sparkler. So yeah, a laser + long exposure = cool [...]

Canada’s Rogers Wireless made official today what some of us had already noticed: its coast-to-coast 3.5G HSPA network (read: 7.2Mbps of fast) lives. Of course, while we may never see “real world” speeds that even get close to this — nor will the Europeans be particularly impressed — we’re sure Rogers [...]
A Web-based application is expected to help frustrated iPhone users desperate to cut and paste content. Users have been waiting for the functionality since the first-generation iPhone.

Google has relaunched an SMS text-messaging feature for Gmail, having worked out the kinks in the technology it launched — and then pulled — on Oct. 31.

Apple’s App Store for the iPhone is a huge success for users, with more than 10,000 third-party applications and 300 million downloads in about four months.

If you’re a Verizon loyalist pining after the likes of the LG Lotus and the Samsung Cleo, great news: we think your savior is on its way. We’re hearing rumors that the u440 Cleo will launch as the “Strut” on Big Red’s airwaves before too long, a move that [...]
The Covini Six Wheeler (C6W) needs a new name but does have six wheels. It looks kind of like a Ferrari whose mother downed too much ethanol during pregnancy. So why the six wheels?
The Covini Six Wheeler takes its engineering inspiration from the 1976 Tyrell P34 race car which had two pairs of [...]
Filed under: OS, Rumors, Odds and ends
Apple, not shy of shaking things up in the interface department, has been sitting on its laurels since the release of OS X earlier this decade. Sure, iPod changed the way we think about music and iPhone has completely turned the mobile phone industry around, but the Mac OS [...]
