When I read the finally-announced fate of webOS, I got so excited that my congenital heart condition flared up. It’s not often that I read something so exciting that I need to sit down and breath deep. Many at the the announcement were expecting a total shelving, others a sale or a license. What few […]
Blackberry maker RIM has had a rough year with an evaporating market share, a plummeting stock price, the failure of their first tablet, and a nearly unending stream of media criticism. Blackberry fans have been holding out hope that Blackberry OS 7 will tide them over until the first BBX phones arrive next year, but […]
For those unfamiliar with the classic joke referenced in the headline, I’m sorry for spoiling the punchline. With that said, there’s an interesting report from MSNBC about the current Pope lighting the world’s largest Christmas tree via tablet. MSNBC has taken an interesting angle on this.

Having earlier gotten around the European Injunction on selling the Galaxy Tab 10.1 by releasing the 10.1N (the difference is the wider bezel), Samsung has now had a similar ban lifted in Australia.

This is something that surprised no one, what with the Streak recently being priced at under $100 at local Staples and other retail outlets.

More and more people are opting for contract-free cell providers like Boost, MetroPCS, Cricket, and Virgin Mobile. Time was that making such a choice meant settling for an out-of-date Blackberry if you wanted any kind of smartphone at all. Those times have changed, with all the name brands you can think of producing phones for […]
Remember July of last year, when the U.S. Copyright Office said it was totally cool for you to jailbreak your iPhone and there wasn’t squat Apple could do about it?
