Last week, I wrote up a list of what mobile operating systems I’m considering to replace my current one. My end result was Android, as its the most webOS-like solution for now. I noted that today’s World Wide Developer Conference (WWDC) might change things vis-à-vis iOS and boy, did it. Just not in the way […]
One of last year’s most unique Android devices was the Motorola Atrix 4G. A top-notch phone in its own right, the Atrix stood out by having a truly unique accessory, the Lapdock. The concept was simple, but elegant. Using a couple of standard connections (micro-USB and micro-HDMI), the phone slotted into a docking port in […]
Virgin Mobile, a pre-pay division of Sprint Wireless, has announced that it will add the iPhone 4 and 4S to their handset offerings as of June 29. This comes scant days after Cricket Wireless, another pre-pay giant, made a similar announcement. All this pre-pay action is making some of us wonder what’s in store for […]
Amidst rumors of Apple ditching Google maps in the upcoming version of iOS (6 to be exact), Google has seen fit to provide details about upcoming features in Google Maps right before Apple’s own announcement during WWDC (Apple Worldwide Developers Conference). While Google steered clear of answering any questions about Apple’s potential homegrown new mapping […]
Ah, temptation. You see a device just sitting there, say an iPhone, so you decide to swipe it. Except, it turns out that you’re not too technically inclined, and you don’t take the time to erase it.

We ususally avoid tackling rumors, but when the Wall Street Journal, Reuters, and Bloomberg are all talking about it, then it’s officially time to weigh in. The rumor in question is that the next iPhone will have a four-inch screen, instead of the three-and-a-half inch screen that the iPhone has had since 2007. Bloomberg even […]
Gather round, children, and let grandpa tell you about the olden days that we called the 90s. Times were dark, then. We didn’t have smartphones. Instead we had PDAs — personal digital assistants. The leader of the field was a company called Palm, and their operating system was a little thing called PalmOS. One of […]
Reviewing a tablet as iconic as the iPad is a challenge no one wants to take on, especially not a recently converted Apple hater. Regardless, I will do my best to impartially and fairly review this beautiful and polarizing piece of hardware that screams Apple out of every orifice. Okay, so it may not be […]
On Tuesday, Adobe released the fourth revision of their popular Lightroom product for photo editing and organizing. For $149 (only $79 if you’re a student or purchasing an upgrade from a previous version), Lightroom 4 adds basic video editing capabilities and an improved photo editing interface. Sliders default to the zero position in the middle, […]
So, remember when Microsoft bought Skype back in May? The Android and iOS communities all buzzed with rumors that Skype’s development may slow down or even disappear on other mobile platforms, favoring integration with their own Windows Phone products instead. Thankfully that wasn’t the case, as Skype has released numerous updates for other platforms since […]
