According to V.P. of Marketing Tim Deluca-Smith at wireless service firm WDS, “Android is a bit of the Wild West” when it comes to handset reliability.

This just in: new wireless carrier Republic Wireless will launch a $20 “all-you-can-eat” unlimited plan on November 8. How are they undercutting on price?

Sad news arrived in the tech world this evening. A titan of the industry, probably the single most influential and publicly recognizable figure in consumer electronics over the last decade has passed from this world. I speak of course of Steve Jobs. His passing was not unanticipated. Jobs had battled with cancer for years, and […]
Apple’s “Let’s Talk iPhone” event is now history, and we’d like to talk about iPods first. Apple unveiled a new Nano with tighter Nike+ integration and a new swiping interface instead of the old boring grid.
