For most global phone users, subsidized hardware is pretty uncommon. Of course the positive to paying $300, $400 or $500+ for a phone is that you also get it unlocked...

Finding the next big hardware or software update in the Apple-sphere is a never-ending race. Most times it takes a few very well placed sources or determined, patient souls to weed through mountains of lines of code in .plist files and so on. This time, strike one for the code sniffers. New carrier profiles recently released by Apple contain a line of code that points to March 9th as the go-live date for said profiles, which in turn could very well mean that’s when…
Tweetbot 2.0 has been teased around twitter for the last couple of weeks. Though if you follow either @tapbots_paul or the official @tweetbot account, you’ll know the taunting has been especially brutal the last couple of weeks. But the waiting is finally over. Tweetbot 2.0 is here. Hop past the break for a breakdown of the new features and screenshots… The overall fit and finish of Tweetbot seems tighter, the minor addition in features are handy, and…
Selling gadget accessories is an increasingly difficult business, exponentially so for iPhone accessory designers/makers. There are so many different products out there chasing after the same few goals that it’s literally almost not worth it to jump in at this point. But every once in a while we get surprised. Is G-Form’s new X-Protect rugged iPhone case something that would surprise us? We’ve yet to test one (working on it). But we’re certainly…
Finding the perfect gift for your female significant other can be pretty difficult. Geeks have it a bit easier as, well, there’s so much stuff out there that falls into said category. Take for example these Mario Piranha Biting Plant earrings made by Etsy user lizglizz. Now, we’re going to have to apologize for leading you on. The awesome earrings above are already sold. Yeah. We’re jerks. But if it’s the Mario theme you’re stuck on, check out…
A teaser image showing what appears to be LG’s upcoming MWC handset of choice, the “Optimus Vu”, has trickled out. Physically speaking it’s about as simple and plain as a smartphone gets. On top of that, the dual-core 1.5 GHz Qualcomm processor, 8 GB of storage, 1 GB of RAM, 8mp shooter, NFC, and Android 2.3 aren’t exactly grabbing our attention like “quad-core” or “Android 4.0″ would. Though, the 5″ display is…
The HTC Sensation, a pretty awesome Android phone in its own regard, is now officially available for pre-order from Clove UK sans color. Besides the hue-shifting appearance, the whitened XE is otherwise identical to the original: 1.5 GHz dual-core processor, 4.3″ qHD (540 x 960) display, 768 MB of RAM/4 GB of ROM, 8-megapixel rear-facing camera w/ 1080p video recording capability, a 1,730 mAh battery, Beats Audio and Android 2.3 Gingerbread. Look for the white…
Let me begin this review by saying how fond of the BodyGuardz line of screen protection I am. If you follow me on Twitter, or know me, you probably already knew this. I have been using the screen protectors on both the front and back of my iPhones since the 3G days. Between the solid construction, easy application, warranty and amazing price, I’ve always been drawn to the products. I will not be basing this review on my past experiences with BodyGuardz. Even though…
@CarboniOS just tweeted a couple of screenshots of the upcoming Carbon for iOS Twitter client (and then subsequently removed them). But were fast like ninja tonight. (Update: New ones are now up.) For those not familiar with Carbon, it was one of the most popular Twitter clients for webOS. Now that that journey has run its course, the team has been focusing on bringing the awesomeness of Carbon to Android, iOS, and WP7. A couple of individual shots after the…
Web browsing on Android’s stock browser has been pretty decent so far. Next to Safari for iOS, it’s the next best (native) browser. But it could certainly be better. Today, it gets better. Google has officially unveiled Chrome for Android, a more portable version of its desktop counterpart but with some interesting and useful finger friendly features tossed in. After the break you’ll see a quick video showing off Chrome for Android’s new user…
Announcements of new hardware and software often get mistakingly posted before their official release (if they’re not already leaked beforehand). The “bad” affect it has on the company in question is debatable. We’d argue that the small leaks here and there only increase the anticipation and hype around a genuinely lusted after product/service. Instagram for Android is the latest to suffer from pre-release release. The screenshot above was captured…
