Is the Android Market down for you? (update: it’s back)
Posted on June 23, 2010 | No CommentsAs I began the process of tearing into our brand new Droid X review unit, I ran through the nearly endless mental laundry list of all my favorite Android apps. “I’m totally going to install all of these“, I thought. Only one problem: The Android Market wasn’t showing any apps. None. No Yammers, no Yelps, [...] -
AT&T seals deal on Verizon’s divested Alltel markets
Posted on June 23, 2010 | No CommentsIt took a good, long while, but AT&T has finally closed on its acquisition of the markets Verizon was required to divest in order to get the government to agree to its purchase of Alltel early last year. For most customers, the move has no practical impact -- the markets are mostly rural -- but for affected folks, it means that they'll be able to "select a device comparable to their existing device at no additional cost" as markets get upgraded over the course of the next 12 months. Interestingly, all of the markets will be getting the 3G treatment, a sharp departure from AT&T's typical strategy of keeping unpopulated areas on EDGE -- but it probably makes sense to get them up and running on 3G since the network's got to be built up from scratch anyhow. Follow the break for the full press release.

Apple’s Small Problem: iOS 4 And iPhone 4 One-Up The iPad
Posted on June 22, 2010 | No Comments
The tech world is buzzing about iOS 4, the latest version of the iPhone operating system that Apple released today. And rightly so -- it's an improvement over the previous version in every way. In fact, once you've been using it for a while, it's hard to go back to using iPhone OS 3.x. And there's an unfortunate casualty there: the iPad.
I've been using developer builds of iOS 4 (then called iPhone OS 4) for weeks now. I've grown very used to using things such as the new app switcher and folders. In fact, I've grown so used to using them that when I switch back over to the iPad now (running iPhone OS 3.2), I can't help but feel that it in some ways seems antiquated. Yes, I know that's ridiculous for a device that's not even three months old yet. But the feeling lingers.

Oh, by the way: iOS 4 is now available.
Posted on June 21, 2010 | No CommentsIn the off chance that you’re not already running the leaked iOS 4 gold master and haven’t been pounding the iTunes update button all morning, we figured you’d probably like to know: iOS 4 is now available for iPhones and iPod Touches. I could blather on about the new features, like multi-tasking, folders, wallpapers, digital [...] -
OnLive now running on Macs
Posted on June 18, 2010 | No Comments
Get thee to the downloadery for OnLive now works on Macs. You can download a small file to bring up the OnLive client and play Assassisn's Creed and other exciting games.
As you recall, OnLive is essentially a game streaming engine for Macs and PCs. All of the heavy lifting happens in the cloud and the company simply streams audio and video to your desktop. Think of it as video-on-demand on crack.

Droid 2 (or whatever it’s called) for Verizon breaks cover once again
Posted on June 17, 2010 | No CommentsNothing new here, but at this point, Motorola's delicious duo of fresh Android phones for Verizon is leaking like... well, like a leaky faucet, we suppose. We've already got the full scoop on the keyboardless 4.3-inch Droid X -- a beast ready to take on sworn enemies from HTC like the EVO 4G and the Droid Incredible -- and we've seen plenty of details on the so-called Droid 2, too. The latter appears destined to replace the original Droid with a better keyboard layout and ever-so-gently refined ergonomics, but the latest leak from a Gizmodo tipster confirms that the cam's still 5 megapixels and it's currently running Android 2.1 atop Moto's new-look Blur (interestingly, the "Droid 2" name couldn't be confirmed). Apparently it's set for release in the "next few weeks," which would line up with rumors we've heard in the past of a launch windows somewhere between July and August -- so here's the real question: X or 2?

Apple: Sorry about all the failed iPhone 4 pre-orders, but we definitely had a good day
Posted on June 16, 2010 | No CommentsApple just released a tiny little message about its 600,000 pre-orders. First, it crowed that it got 600,000 pre-orders and then it apologized for, um, sucking the life out of the economy while people at work kept pressing the “Continue” button over and over again in a Skinner-esque effort to make the damn site work.

Emblaze’s First Else in danger of becoming a smoldering slab of vaporware?
Posted on June 16, 2010 | No CommentsWe have word from an industry insider that the First Else handset running the ALP OS is in trouble. Not a surprise since Emblaze, the company behind the handset, has been dead quiet about Else ever since CES where it promised a March beta and Q2 launch. From what we hear, the software simply isn't ready and Emblaze has been unable to sign on any major carriers as the components continue to age inside a cellphone first demonstrated in November of 2009.
We've also been told that Emblaze has instructed its employees not to speak to the press about First Else. And indeed, when we called the number that formerly belonged to the Emblaze Mobile marketing manager we were greeted with a very casual "hello" without any mention of the company or the person with whom we were speaking. After confirming that we were indeed speaking with Emblaze Mobile, we related the news about First Else and were promptly transfered to the voicemail of Emblaze's legal representation. Curious don't you think? Your move Emblaze.Emblaze's First Else in danger of becoming a smoldering slab of vaporware? originally appeared on Engadget on Wed, 16 Jun 2010 08:51:00 EST.
