What’s that in the sky? Is it a plane, a star, a superhero at night? Well it could be considered a battery savior. Today Sprint released an OTA for Hero users.

Fortunately for us, other people have been much [...]

Followers of high-end handsets have noticed a strong correlation between two things: “Upcoming Sony Ericsson Mobile Phones” and “Delays”. A few days ago we spotted the X10 on Sony Ericsson’s UK Store tagged with a February 10th launch date.

Calling the entry of the Android OS in the mobile market “disrupting” is probably an understatement but its presence on the other devices – netbooks, smartbooks, photo frames, household appliances, etc – has been slow going.

The Droid crossed the ocean and didn’t even get wet… it just got a new name: the Motorola MILESTONE is now available at O2 in Germany! Get this – it only costs 1 Euro if you sign a 2-year contract costing 20 euro/month. And we thought the Droid was cheap in the states! This will [...]

Market Description: “Futuristic motorcycles race to the death in a 3D arena.” Nuff said.  Light Racer also supports multiplayer over WiFi.  I’ve played this game quite a bit.  It’s addictive.  There are several modes of play and the controls couldn’t be easier.  I’ve seen many 3D games on the market, none are as intense as [...]

I recently had the opportunity to test CoPilot Live.  CoPilot is a fully-featured navigation app that works and looks like an actual GPS navigation device.  The best feature of the app is that the map data is stored on the SD card.  This is a HUGE advantage over Google Maps Navigation and Sprint Navigation, both [...]
