    Sprint LG Rumor Touch finally going on sale on March 28th

    Man oh man! Remember the LG Rumor Touch? The touchscreen feature phone Sprint announced all the way back at CES in early January? If you’d had asked me yesterday when this thing was going to launch, my response would have been a blank stare followed by “Holy crap, that hasn’t launched yet?” Sure enough, it hasn’t [...]

    Make the synths smaller, Korg! Smaller I say!

    What was once applauded as the smallest synthesizer in the world, was stripped of that title this week at the Musikmesse show in Germany. All hail the rightful heir, Korg’s Monotron. With just over 1 full octave on a ribbon keyboard, the Monotron can almost fit into your pocket. It also manages to fit a VLO, [...]

    Motorola announces the Android-powered i1 with push-to-talk for Sprint

    Whuhp! Looks like that i1 banner didn’t go up all that early after all. A day before CTIA 2010 even begins, Motorola has just come along and made the Android-powered i1 and its push-to-talk features official. The Android-powered and push-to-talk points were already confirmed, but Motorola’s release throws in a few new fun facts: it’s rugged [...]

    HTC Desire shows up with a new color scheme: Silver

    If I had to pin a color on the HTC Desire we saw back at MWC, I'd have called it silver. Dark, sort-of-brownish silver, but silver none the less. But then this comes out, and shows us what a HTC Desire looks like when it's really, really Silver.

    AT&T ZERO to save the planet one phone charger at a time

    They’re in our homes, and they’re in our schools. There they sit, silently, eating our power. Even if you unplug your phone, they keep devouring power. What’s next!? Will cell phone chargers some day EAT YOUR CHILDREN? More at 11. In a move to save you some gadget juice and boost their “green”-factor, AT&T has just [...]

  • T-Mobile Cliq XT to go on sale tomorrow for $99?

    T-Mobile Cliq XT to go on sale tomorrow for $99?

    If we were to take everything the rumormill said as gospel, we'd tell you that the Motorola Cliq XT launched in all of its Android glory on March 10th. Given that it's now nearly a week later and the Cliq XT has yet to hit the shelves, we'd say that the rumormill is a dirty, dirty liar. Or, you know, something changed at the last minute. Either way, now there's a new, improved rumor to bank on! This rumor is stronger. This rumor is faster. Oh, and yeah, this rumor is most likely correct and includes updated pricing information.

  • Barnes and Noble to sell the Samsung E6 ebook reader this spring

    Barnes and Noble to sell the Samsung E6 ebook reader this spring

    The Nook is soon going to have a bit of competitino on its home playing field when the Samsung E6 reader hits shelves this coming spring. Although it probably doesn't have much to worry about. We spent sometime with the slider at CES and can't see any reason why most consumers would opt for the $399 reader instead of the hot Nook.

    Microsoft announces Windows Mobile 7, now officially dubbed “Windows Phone”

    We’re in Barcelona for Mobile World Congress, where Microsoft has at long last pulled back the curtains on the next generation of Windows Mobile. Don’t go calling it “Windows Mobile 7″, though – at least not around Microsoft’s folks, who have officially changed the name of the platform to “Windows Phone”. There are bound to be [...]

    Android updates fly off the shelves; Motorola CLIQ up next in March?

    Android updates appear to be getting thrown left and right recently, so it doesn’t surprise me that the Motorola CLIQ may be due for a tune-up. According to Boy Genius Report, the CLIQ will be getting Android 2.1 OS sometime in March. Perhaps it’s not soon enough for those CLIQ owners who are turning a [...]

    Xperia X10 to launch in April on Vodafone UK (Update: And others!)

    If you’d captured all the drool we’ve drooled over the X10 since it first got detailed so many months ago, you’d have a pool deep enough to swim in. A very nasty pool that you shouldn’t actually swim in, but a pool nonetheless. Today, UK wireless carrier Vodafone has announced that they’ll soon be carrying the [...]

    Vinyl Android figurines are the coolest things since sliced ice

    Okay, look. I wasn’t going to post about these, because every bit of attention these things get will make it that much harder for me to acquire them before they sell out. But then this little nagging voice in my head (which sounds like a freakish cross between CrunchGear editor John Biggs and my mother) [...]

    Nokia announces a 16GB X6, “Comes With Music” not included

    We knew Nokia was preppin’ something for launch today, thanks to some loose lipped execs – but what would it be? Announcing something just one day before a much hyped Apple announcement is always risky; either Nokia thought the product was a big enough deal to overshadow Apple’s goods, or it was small enough that [...]

    Assassin’s Creed III could hit shelves as early as April 2010

    Experiencing Assassin's Creed blues now that you've finished the game, unlocked Altair's armor, found all the glyphs, and have collected all 100 impossible-to-find feathers? Don't fret friends. According to Ubisoft's financial release this morning, Assassin's Creed III will be released in fiscal year 2011, which begins in April 2010. It was previously thought that this would only be an expansion to Assassin's Creed II, but Ubisoft has confirmed it is a new title featuring Ezio, and will have an online multiplayer mode.
