    Official Twitter App Launched For Android 2.1

    Posted on April 30, 2010 | No Comments
    After acquiring Tweetie, so they can launch an official Twitter app for iPhone, and after working with RIM to make an official Twitter app for BlackBerry, Twitter have now released an official app for Android. Sadly, it is only compatible with Android 2.1 devices -- the unfortunate side-effect of Android's break-neck pace of development. The app actually looks really good, both visually and feature-wise.

  • T-Mobile bringing HTC HD2 to the States? All .nbh files point to ‘yes’

    T-Mobile bringing HTC HD2 to the States? All .nbh files point to ‘yes’

    Posted on December 18, 2009 | No Comments
    You know those times when you're sifting through an undercooked ROM, dumping .nbh files right and left, asking yourself: "is this even worth it?" Well, the folks at WMExperts can answer with a resounding fist pump after digging up references to T-Mobile US in an HTC HD2 prerelease ROM that was recently leaked their way. At this point we're looking at a new 2.01 version of the HD2 software in the T-Mobile version, a big jump from the 1.61 seen in previous leaks, which maybe will smooth over some of those performance woes we experienced with the device. WMExperts also claims a March 2010 release date, which seems a while to wait, but somebody told us once about "good things" coming to "waiters" or something like that, so we're cautiously optimistic.

    radish-1-upGenerally speaking, the preferred method for procuring a 1UP Power Up is collecting 100 golden Mario coins to smash your fist into a giant question mark block. BUT, if you're really in need of a quick (and less painful) pick-me-up, grab yourself a shiny new radish, a paring knife, and maybe a Sharpie (for the eyes?!). Follow the visual instructions above and...voila! 1UP! Power Up!

    When we’d heard that HTC was making the jump to good ol’ 3.5mm headphone jacks, we were beyond excited. That said, HTC made it pretty clear that devices they’ve already announced probably wouldn’t get a last minute change - which we took to mean, amongst other things, that the HTC Touch Pro 2 wasn’t in [...]

    Wahl Reboots Male Grooming with Li-Ion Trimmer

    The batteries in electric shavers suck. Charge-times are better measured as large fractions of days than as hours, you can’t use them while they are charging and, even when full, they don’t last long. Wahl’s new trimmer tries to fix this, and Wahl is so proud of the battery technology that it has put it in [...]
