  • Sprint nixes the Nexus One

    Sprint nixes the Nexus One

    Back in March, Sprint officially confirmed that they were going to pick up Google's then much-touted super phone, the Nexus One. Hurray! Excitement! Then Sprint went and announced the EVO 4G, a handset which belittles the Nexus One on just about every front. Suddenly, everyone seemed to lose interest in a Sprint Nexus One -- including Sprint, it seems.

    Hurray! The Sprint Hero is getting Android 2.1 on May 7th! Wait, no it’s not!

    Verizon makes BlackBerry Tour Push-to-talk “free for life” for anyone who acts quick

    Almost exactly one month ago, Verizon added Push-to-talk support to the BlackBerry Tour! Hurray! Unfortunately, it cost $5 extra a month. Un-hurray. It looks like Verizon might be having a bit of trouble getting people to sign up — or, at least, they want to kickstart the number of people using it. They just dropped the [...]

    Skyfire opens up Alpha signups for their Android browser, gets bombarded, closes Alpha signups

    We’ll keep this one brief, because the news is likely as much of a bummer for most as it is good news. Skyfire, which is still the only mobile browser able to churn through Flash, Silverlight, Quicktime, and just about any other media you throw at it, just opened up the signups for the Alpha test [...]

    iTunes 9.1 preventing jailbroken devices from syncing, breaking tethered jailbreaks?

    Hurray, it’s cat and mouse time again! iTunes 9.1 was just released, and it looks like Apple has taken yet another step (or two) in their endless fight against jailbreaking. Take this with a grain of salt for the time being, but we’re hearing a lot of early reports that jailbroken devices will not sync with [...]

    Bad News: Android 2.1 update for the Motorola Droid has been delayed

    Bad news, everyone! Remember that Droid update that was supposed to hit today? Yeah, erm, about that.. It’s been delayed. Seemingly out of the blue, messages on the Verizon employee intranet changed from “Hurray! The update is coming on 3/18″ to big, red fonted messages of “OH GOD NEVERMIND WE’LL UPDATE YOU AS SOON AS POSSIBLE”. So what [...]

    T-Mobile myTouch 1.2 launching tomorrow with Swype keyboard

    We thought we knew just about everything there was to know about T-Mobile’s oh-so-subtle hardware upgrade to the myTouch, known around the Internets as the “myTouch 1.2″. Truth be told, there wasn’t really that much to know: they’d bumped the headset jack up to a standard 3.5mm jack (Hurray!), and upped the amount of RAM [...]

    In-App Purchase In Free Apps: A Shot Across The Bow of iPhone Piracy?

    Just hours ago, Apple made an announcement that has developers everywhere dancing down their collective, metaphorical street: In-App Purchase is now good to go in free applications.

    Speaker with 4.5-inch LCD looks cool, but features are sketchy

    BrandoBehold! A small step forward in multimedia speakers! This one has a built-in 4.5-inch LCD screen and it only costs $99. According to the product description, the screen is a "high definition color display." According to me, that's dead wrong. But who cares? It's a screen built into a speaker! Hurray!
