With everyone sticking around and playing nice at this party, you'd think that maybe current WinMo 6.5 handsets might get a little Windows Phone 7 love. Sorry to burst your bubble.

Patience is a virtue, but as tech fanatics who lap up the latest in hardware and software, we've not enirely familiar with that concept.

Review: AT&T Navigator app for iPhone
Posted on December 21, 2009 | No Comments
I've been using the AT&T Navigator app for iPhone for a couple of months now. This is a free app, but it requires a $10/month subscription from AT&T (or $70 for an annual subscription). I'm not going to belabor the GPS functions too much in this review: it's almost the year 2010, and the global positioning system has been used to provide turn-by-turn directions for long enough now that any GPS device or application being reviewed should do that basic job. Instead, I'm going to examine how useful a GPS function is on your mobile phone, talk about some of what's nice (and not-so-nice) about the AT&T Navigator, and look at the value proposition of a $10/month subscription in light of Google's free turn-by-turn driving directions on the Verizon Droid.

New Japanese cell phone maker NEC-Casio to go America in 2010
Posted on December 21, 2009 | No CommentsAs MobileCrunch reported back in August, three of Japan's eight top cell phone makers, namely NEC, Casio and Hitachi are going to merge their cell phone businesses next year. Under the agreement, NEC plans to integrate its handset division into a tie-up that already existed between Hitachi and Casio starting April 2010 (the begin of the new fiscal year under the Japanese business calendar). In the meantime, the companies involved decided on a name for the new venture: NEC Casio Mobile. The company's capitalization stands at a relatively modest $55 million, with NEC holding a 71% stake, Casio 20% and Hitachi 9%. And as I speculated in my previous article, that new company plans to enter the global market in a (relatively) aggressive way.
