Think what you will, but navigation apps are pretty much reaching the end of the “feature ladder”. That is, there really isn’t much else you can add to GPS/navigation apps or hardware that will make it any more beneficial. Sure you can find ways to connect the device to more aspects of our [...]

Ya, the fact that this is even funny is sad. When your typical smartphone case is getting contention from Mr. Sandwhich’s humble abode you know 3rd party manufacturers need to step it up.

Even though I wasn’t initially enamored with Twitter, I have come around in the last year. While I’m still by no means a twit-a-holic, I do find myself spending more and more time on the popular micro-blogging network. Since I jumped ship from my iPhone to the Android platform, I’ve been looking far [...]

One of the few faults I have with the Android platform is the lack of killer apps and polished apps. But one app by Levelup Studios called “Touiteur” looks like it will finally bring awesome functionality and eye candy. Ok, I’ll admit that this app does take some iPhone-esque styling cues.

The Motorola Motus, leaked in all of it’s glory. We talked earlier about Motorola falling into a “Razr Rut” in regards to getting stuck on one design and beating it long past it’s expiration date. With that said, the first interesting feature of the Motus is that it’s not a “traditional slider” but [...]
As much as I love Android, I will admit that it’s far from perfect. There are some lag issues on even top notch hardware like the Droid and the bread and butter of the mobile world, the app scene, just isn’t as matured as it is on the iPhone. At a an investor [...]

Looking at Motorola’s new design path that started with the Clique, moved to the Droid, and now appears on a third leaked device called the “Motus”, one unfortunate realization is materializing — Motorola is heading for another Razr Rut. A rut in which they get stuck on one popular design, unable to move forward and ultimately hurting themselves in the long run. Is the sliding qwerty keyboard design Moto’s new Razr Rut II?

Saving a buck or two is always a good thing especially with jobs not looking so hot and dollar bills going much less farther than they used to. We all hope to score a nice Black Friday deal each and every year but tracking all of the prices, stores, and items is a small [...]

For once in my short lifetime I can finally say we here in the U.S. have a cool mobile technology before our tech god cousins in Japan. That gift is Android. The Android scene in Japan has been pretty much non-existent with NTT DoCoMo’s plans to actually release an Android device(s) remaining fairly [...]
