    T-Mobile myTouch gets lopped down to $149.99

    (With the image above, close your eyes and pretend that instead of bottles of shampoo, the price cut signs are point at a shelf full of MyTouches. Our photoshop talents only go so far. And by “so far”, we mean not very.) If you were on the cusp of buying a T-Mobile myTouch but just felt [...]

    Fedor, the star of EA MMA game, passes over UFC, signs with rival promotion

    I'm sure you've all heard by now, but just in case: Fedor will not be fighting in the UFC any time soon, as he has signed a contract with rival promotion Strikeforce. So if you're were hoping, one day, to see him fight Brock Lesnar, well, it looks like you're out of luck.

    EA game doesn’t appear to be stumbling block for Fedor to fight in UFC

    Here's an update to something I touched on the other day: Does Fedor's inclusion in EA's MMA video game preclude him from fighting in the UFC? Apparently not, if you believe what UFC president Dana White said at a press conference yesterday.

    PRTMobile.com: The Mobile Web comes to the folks next door

    PRT MobileI was out for my evening constitutional last night, enjoying the sight of "For Sale" signs on homes throughout my neighborhood, when I spied with my little eye something new and novel. I've seen URLs on For Sale signs a couple of times, and always thought that that was a fine way to attract eyeballs to your property.

Over the past few weeks, a build of the HTC Hero ROM has been floating around, albeit closely guarded, amongst the developer community. A hacker going by the name of Haykuro would port it to the G1, then demonstrate the new features on video. Eventually the build leaked without without Haykuro's permission, and it spread like wildfire. It's a buggy beta build and lacks some of the features we've already seen (like the Rosie UI home screen), but it's relatively functional and gives us a sneak peek at some of the cool things to come from the future HTC Android devices.
