E3 Project Natal Launch Party, Pics & Video!
My friend Elizabeth, @mintcool on Twitter was kind enough to give ME passes for Microsoft’s’ BIG E3 2K10 Party event (My own nickname, in honor of 2K sports ass kickery on Dreamcast. Its only fitting!) This was more than just a party, it was an experience. It really reminded me of how SONY went large, on teh VERY first E3 in L.A. (They used to be in Atlanta, WAY back in the day)...

Sprint announcing 4G HTC 'Super Sonic' at CTIA
Las Vegas: Sprint Nextel corporation is said to be announcing a launch date (rumored to be June 6th, along with the new BlackBerry Bold from RIM), pricing and more details at a special event at the CTIA tradeshow in Vegas. As I first reported a month ago, (http://ow.ly/1pGL3 ) This is the United States first 4G phone and marks the continued marked comeback by belguared Sprint, who until last...
Whats it YOUR pocket?
I have a lot of friends down at SXSWi right now and one of them tweeted tonight about going to Android & ditching the Death Star, for reasons not yet clear to me. So, it got me thinking, with Android shooting up in the ratings by double digits, Windows Mobile basically dead and RIM even getting WAY old in the tooth, whats in your pocket, Now?

Motorola Calgary Android phone confirmed!
There have been rumors of the Alexander / Calgary for almost over a year now, but with the new release of Fring today for Android 2.0 & Symbian (for our European Nokia friends), the device is clearly listed as a download option. So, if you combine this with BGR’s information along with all of the rumors, you pretty much have a done deal. Its not like we didn’t expect for a...
BREAKING: Apple Tablet exclusive to Verizon...
As I first reported over a year ago, the Apple Tablet (Newton II) will ship on VZW for 3G access. This is a consolation concession given to VZW since they will never, ever get an iPhone, 3G or 3G S. They will get a LTE ‘phone’ (I say ‘phone’ because voice will still be handled over CDMA2000 1xRTT, as it is now), perhaps as early as Q1 2011. Its truly rare that...
A phone that trades hair-do for can-do
Verizon Wireless (majority owned by Vodafone Corporation in Europe) started to slang a lil’ mud towards the Death Star crew this past Holiday season and out of all the ads they ran, this one reminded me most of one of my favorites from the 80’s: SEGADOESWHATNINTEDONT! What do you guys thing, does the DROID melt the 3G S? Sound off! Posted via web from Michael’s...
VZW does a bare knuckle punch to The Death Star
So as @boygenius first reported yesterday, Verizon Wireless is drastically reducing their rate plans as part of their combined smartphone offensive consisting of lower prices, network superiority & advanced devices. This is news in itself usually, but combined with the joint responses of T-Mobile and AT&T Mobility it actually starts to get seriously interesting as the Death...
Windows Mobile 7 delayed. Again.
Chalk this up to MSFT just absolutely having zero clue how to execute in the mobile space, especially since it took them almost TWO YEARS (!) to go from 6.0 to 6.1 then 6.5! And keep in mind, all of this is the same shitty Windows CE code that was originally WinMo 4 & 5! Windows mobile 7 was actually supposed to be out early last year but somehow Microsoft managed to fuck that up as...
Google Voice Invites
As I have been looking at setting up my new @Motorola #Droid , I relaized I could finally start utilizing & leveraging the power of the Google with the native Android 2.0 app. So, as I was on the admin site for my account & realized Holy Smokes, Ive got oodles and oodles of Google Voice invites to dish out! The result being, if youd like one, (or two if your cute!) just make a...
