This week was so jam-packed full of news that I can’t wait to have Memorial Day off to recover. Google Wallet was introduced and it could change the way we pay for goods, Microsoft unwrapped the details of Windows Phone Mango and Verizon had a big week with the release of four high-quality smartphones on a single day. Exhale and [...]

Not content with putting iOS developers under fire for violating a patent pertaining to in-app purchases, Lodsys is now attempting to squeeze the little money Android developers make for the same reason. Whether or not this is the right way to go about this is beyond me but Lodsys is obviously serious about getting just about as much as it [...]

In addition the handful of new handsets coming from Samsung lately, the manufacturer will be producing another budget Android device and it’s set to land on Sprint sometime in the future.

For the last week or two I’ve been using my first BlackBerry PlayBook case: the Pop! by Case-Mate.

The article argues that many gestures are invisible, unexplained, and inconsistent across applications. Given, a lot of [...]

It took Apple so damn long to get the white iPhone 4 out that an enterprising teen took it upon himself to help the masses. Last November, we learned that Fei Lam, a 17 year-old high school student in New York, made nearly $130,000 in just six months selling white iPhone 4 conversion kits. The parts for the kit were [...]
