Real-time widgets coming to an Android 1.5 homescreen near you…soon

Android users who have been clamoring for real homescreen widgets can soon clamor no more as Google has updated the Android 1.5 SDK AppWidget framework allowing homescreen widgets.  What kind of new and geeked out things can you do with said widgets?  Things such as weather information, email previews, stock information, control music playback, link to other full featured apps and so much more.  While Android pretty much had a sleeper year last year, 2009 and even early...

The sum of Windows Mobile 6.5 and May 11th = False

WinMo users who were preparing for May 11th by stocking up on certain party supplies in anticipation for a WinMo 6.5 launch will sadly have to keep their goods in the cellar a bit longer as Microsoft has annouced that some information from a recent blog posting (below) was misinterpruted (and has now since been corrected) and WinMo 6.5 will not be launching on May 11th.  Sorry WinMo users, looks as if May 11th is not your day to shine after all.  Oh well, look on the...

Blackberry OS 5.0 more info revealed

Crackberry users are one of the few groups who count OS revision numbers as closely or more more closely than they do their own wedding anniversaries or even birthdays.  Don’t get me wrong, there isn’t anything wrong with that at all, per say.  It seems that every few tens of a number in change in a Blackberry OS, those loyal number counters twitch with anticipation for the latest release of said OS.  But when something as big as an entirely new number comes...

James Bond is perhaps one of the greatest heros of all time for many boys and grown men alike.  He gets all of the ladies, vacation hot spots, and most importantly, the gadgets.  For years boys and men alike have drooled at the TV screen with each new gadget that Bond ads to his arsenal, dreaming of an imaginary life in which they too could hold that gadget in their hand, whatever it may be, and for a moment live the life of bond.  If said dream corresponds more or less...

The incompetence returns to Apple’s App Store approval process

It has been several weeks since a story has been posted about some seemingly retarded and incompetent move on behalf of Apple’s App Store approval team.  However, not wanting to disappoint, the App Store approvers have once again given us something to talk about.  What exactly is the cause for concern this time?  Would you believe it all revolves around something as trivial and miniscule as a tiny icon that couldn’t occupy  more than 40-50 pixels...

AT&T doubling network speeds to 7.2Mbps – Great…do you have a signal?

Carriers in the U.S. have long had a fascination with advertising themselves as the fastest, biggest, or most reliable network.  Really who could blame them?  It is a PR move meant to attract as many customers as humanly possible.  In the age of increasing smartphone use, more and more people are in tune to and concerned with how fast the network is as it will allow their mobile web browsing to be much more fluid and desktop like.  Sure faster speeds are always a big...

Mac Office 2004 users going it alone starting in October

Even though Mac computers and OS X come with a pretty good set of *full* software titles out of the box, there are certain things that they still lack such as an office suite.  Usually when a Mac user gets ready to take the plunge into the office world, they choose between three main players: Microsoft Office Apple’s iWork Suite Open Office Out of these three suites, Microsoft’s Microsoft Office is most often the winner simply because it is the defacto...
