  • Samsung Behold II finally gets Android 1.6 update

    Samsung Behold II finally gets Android 1.6 update

    Posted on June 23, 2010 | No Comments
    Yes, yes, we know you'd rather get Eclair or Froyo -- but sometimes you've got to be happy with what you've got, and this is one of those times. As far as we can tell, Samsung hasn't budged on its commitment to sunset the Behold II's upgrade path with Donut, but at least 1.6 is finally trickling into the hands of owners this week via a rolling over-the-air update that should wrap up on the 25th. There are a few bug fixes in the mix, too -- so unless you've got a rooted Behold II running 2.2 already, you probably want in on this action. Or... you know, dump this inadequately-supported piece for something running 2.1 out of the box.

    Palm webOS 1.4.1.1 update rolled out to Verizon Pre Plus and Pixi Plus

    Get excited, Verizon Pixi Plus or Pre Plus owners! But not too excited. Just a little bit excited. Less “Holy crap, I’m getting a petting zoo for my birthday!” excited, more “Neat, it’s probably not going to rain on my birthday!” excited. Verizon just pushed out a minor update for webOS, bumping things up to version [...]

  • EA removes SecuROM DRM from Battlefield: Bad Company 2

    EA removes SecuROM DRM from Battlefield: Bad Company 2

    Posted on March 16, 2010 | No Comments
    Since we're your go-to source for complaining about DRM, I figure we should mention the latest development regarding EA's Battlefield: Bad Company 2. Dice, the game's developer's, have removed SecuROM DRM from both the retail version of the game as well as the digitally distributed one (i.e. Steam). Why a Steam game even needs SecuROM in the first place (it's merely a disc check, so...) is a question I cannot answer. It's probably like a contractual thing or something.

Thanks to your friendly neighborhood Sprint store spy, we've now got an exact date.

    Palm webOS 1.4 SDK released to developers, allows apps to record video

    Posted on March 2, 2010 | No Comments
    It’s a bit different than the “developers get the new firmware first” mentality we’ve grown used to from those other guys, but Palm has now released the SDK for webOS 1.4. The flagship feature of webOS 1.4 (besides Adobe Flash support, which isn’t available just yet) is its new found ability to record video. With [...]

    Good news, Palm fans! If you’ve taken a break from jamming on the “Update” button, it’s time to go tap it one last time: the rollout of webOS 1.4 has just begun. The catch: it seems that it’s only for Sprint handsets right now (Update: In the US, that is – it’s also available on [...]

    If the most recent whispers from the webOS rumor mill hold true, we just might be seeing webOS 1.4 ship out to Pres and Pixis around the nation some time today. We know it’ll bring video recording support, and it’ll have a few UI enhancements tucked throughout — but what else? We want the details! Fortunately, [...]

  • New Google Mobile App adds Voice Search support for iPod

    New Google Mobile App adds Voice Search support for iPod

    Posted on February 20, 2010 | No Comments
    Google has submitted a new version of its Google Mobile App for the iPhone platform (iTunes link), and the fresh app now finally boasts built-in support for Voice Search on iPod touch devices (2G or newer). Version 0.4.5.3281 also brings improved stability when using Voice Search on 'restrictive networks' and is also said to make Search by Voice completion detection function a bit better. Other than that, the update brings a number of bug fixes, one that fixes pasting into the search box and one that should prevent the app from crashing when you do a search for '@'.

    Between UI enhancements, bug fixes, and neat new features like smooth scrolling, Skyfire has been slamming out the updates as of late — but only for one platform. While the Flash/Silverlight-capable mobile browser is available for both Windows Mobile and Symbian, the latter edition hasn’t seen any updates in months… until today. Just minutes ago, Skyfire [...]

    Remember the good ol' days of being a cell phone owner? Back when you could probably name every color your screen could display, 2G data connections were mind blowing, and gettin' your firmware flashed meant taking a trip to the good ol' neighborhood carrier outlet? Yeah - we're back to that.

    You know that Europe-only Palm Pre update we mentioned just a little while ago? Turns out there’s an undocumented, hidden feature tucked inside. That’s our favorite kind of feature! In addition to all the bug fixes and Prepaid SIM card tweaks, it looks like Palm also slipped in the Bluetooth PAN profile required to enable Pre [...]

    Posted on January 12, 2010 | No Comments
    Just as all of us yanks were riding high on our brand new upgrade to webOS 1.3.5.1 , Palm goes and gives all our Pre-toting brethren over in Europe webOS 1.3.5.2. Considering that it’s a trivial enough upgrade that it only bumps the overall numbering up an earth-shattering zero-point-zero-point-zero-point-one, we’re not all that jealous – [...]

    Taptu iPhone app gets real-time search with OneRiot

    Posted on December 22, 2009 | No Comments
    Taptu, the mobile search engine, announced a partnership with OneRiot last month to provide real time search results in their mobile-friendly web site. This worked from any mobile client, not just the iPhone. But one of the points of using a smartphone is the use of native applications. Today Taptu announced that they've rolled the real-time search results into their iPhone app.

  • Sidekick LX 2009 basks in the warm glow of a minor firmware update

    Sidekick LX 2009 basks in the warm glow of a minor firmware update

    Posted on December 10, 2009 | No Comments
    In the event that Sidekickgate didn't scare you right out of using anything involving Danger, you've got a bit of good news this week -- if you've got an LX 2009 model, anyhow -- on news that a new firmware has been pushed out over-the-air. Details are thin, but it looks like the biggies here are support for backing up contacts to T-Mobile's Mobile Backup service (independently of the normal sync that happens to Danger's servers) and a host of bug fixes, which are always a pleasant thing for improving the user experience in the field. It's hard to say how many LX 2009s are still in active use and how many more are realistically gonna be sold, but yeah -- if we had to guess, the writing's on the wall for Sidekick as we know it, so at this point, cherish every FOTA like it's your last.
