About 7 months ago we ran a poll asking Windows Phone users what their thoughts were of the platform. At the time 89% of you gave a 4 or 5 star response. So the honeymoon is well over at this point. Let’s put all the talk about how sales are doing, etc behind us and [...]

There seems to be a theme I’m hearing – Windows Phone users love their phones. I mean they love them to the extent that they are talking advertisements for Microsoft. I have a few friends who own them (mostly non-techies) and they all keep telling me that they can’t put them down and love to [...]

A handful of blogs insisted they had inside sources who knew for a fact that Samsung will be unveiling the Nexus Two next Monday. Gizmodo really fanned the flames reporting that a friend of theirs got to play with it and took a picture. Allegedly leaked specs included, essentially, a Galaxy S with a better [...]

Ahh Street Viewgate, the scandal that never ends. Well actually yesterday a step was made in that direction with the US Federal Trade Commission, initially prompted by politicians of most states to break Google’s balls in pursuit of political claptraps much to the chagrin of Consumer Watchdog (who by the way still uses Google Analytics [...]

Remember that WSJ mobile OS poll brawl which began with Google killing until MS-sympathizing sites like this one rallied their troops to distort the results?

We try to cover all platforms here but obviously WP7 has taken center stage in the last few days because of the launch and the strong advertising push. So we’ve all learned a lot lately about the operating system as a whole and the actual devices that are coming out. We’ve said a lot about [...]

There is an ongoing debate between the iOS people and the Android/Windows Mobile people regarding the importance of Flash. No doubt, Flash is a very popular web technology used by many sites, but recently a question popped up about the importance of Flash in those sites, especially when accessed from a mobile device. Some believe [...]

We waste spend a lot of time talking about how great our devices are around here. We tend to not focus as much on which is the worst. Let’s do a simple and unscientific poll here. Your next phone will be either Android, iPhone 4 or Windows Phone 7. Most of you tend to be [...]

By now you probably saw the release from Google talking about Android App Inventor. If you don’t know, this lets anyone write an ‘app’ for Android. Essentially you have a simple program that you can use to drop in text boxes, sound clips and even gain access to the GPS and accelerometer. There’s no programming [...]
