By now every single one of you, if I put up a poll on this, would vote that you friggin’ hate carrier bloatware which is why some of you are glad you got an iPhone, a Windows Phone, a Nexus One, why you learned how to root or you just put up with crap in … Read more

I will take my iDoug Dark Lord mantle off and resume my normal news reporting by letting you all know that if you are on the fence about getting the Dell Streak, the Android 5 inch Tablet then you might be swayed by learning that Best buy is now offering the Dell Streak for $100.00 … Read more
Two weird things about the Nexus S. The first is that it doesn’t shoot video in HD. Most cell phones shoot in 720 – that’s a resolution of 1280×720 (921,600 pixels). The Nexus S takes video in 720 x 480 (345,600 pixels). That’s just above VGA (640×480 = 307,200). That’s just weak sauce man. The … Read more
An update to the Android Market is starting to roll out. They’ve improved the promoted apps interface, it’s easier to find apps and widgets and live wallpapers just got their own categories.

In the comments to the WP7 app data post it seems like we’re all starting to talk about what app pricing should look like so let’s focus on it a little bit here. The MS Marketplace is supposed to be a place for devs to make money and presumably that’s in sales and it isn’t … Read more
In the never ending battle between smartphones, there are many types of reports, relying on different sources (ads, web browsing, sales figures which are never formal, etc.).
I will try to make some order in this statistical mess by giving you one final answer: iPhone.
(OK, just kidding… )
But seriously, here’s a collection figures that may help you understand what’s going on in mobility. As none of them is absolute of course, I’m counting on you to make the math by yourselves.

Don’t watch this if you get car sick… What do you think? Like it? Buying One? Two?
