One of the biggest selling points of the iPhone 4S is definitely its voice recognition feature, Siri. I’ll admit — although I would likely never use it — it’s pretty neat. It’s so good in fact that I’ve even heard around the Twittersphere it’s managed to sway a few longtime Android devotees on over to [...]

Rob’s already [...]

The US ITC has declared that Apple’s products will not be banned from importation, according to Reuters.

Motorola unleashed their teaser site for the phone they’re set to announce tomorrow – the Motorola Droid RAZR – and left us with nothing but our wits to figure out what it’s all about.

Mozilla has mentioned that their browser for Android – Firefox, of course – will be getting some key features in the next update.

Sure, Apple sold over 4 million iPhone 4S handset over the weekend, but can it survive a fall from waist height?

Motorola hasn’t quite give up on the Lapdock technology first introduced with the Motorola Atrix. Admitting that the high price of the peripheral was a major setback for adoption, the company vowed to produce a lower-cost alternative to the original laptop dock.

Call it poor timing on Motorola’s part — or perhaps misfortune — but what looks to be their biggest holiday product unveiling has been overshadowed by a rescheduled Google/Samsung event.

Hello there, Mr. Galaxy S II. What’s that you have for us mere days before the official unveiling of Google’s next Android update? A sneak peek at Ice Cream Sandwich running on a Samsung flagship that doesn’t have the word ‘Nexus’ in its name? It sure looks like it. While we have no way of [...]

When Samsung announced an unveiling that overlapped with CTIA in San Diego, and involved Google, I was ecstatic. When Samsung canceled that same event once I was already in San Diego, I was disappointed. The good part? I was in San Diego. But when Samsung and Google rescheduled that event for one week later in [...]
