This press release starts off with a question: Ever wanted to tune into your favorite TV shows while on the go, but found you weren’t in your wireless carrier’s mobile TV coverage area or would have to pay extra for even basic channels? I have to say NO to that, I can’t see how watching TV on such a little screen could actually be enjoyable?! Going from my 47” HDTV back to my 23” monitor is a shock anymore, I don’t think I could handle going down to a 3 or 4 inch screen.. wow, talk about eye strain. Anyway if you’re into it though you might be happy to learn that Sprint now has the most channels apparently… Read on for the full PR:

The Perfect Fuze?
I bought my Fuze in November of 2008 and learned of fuzemobility.com shortly thereafter. My mission since then has been to create what is for me the Perfect Fuze. It began by flashing new ROMs (13 flashes so far, mostly NRG’s), then the latest apps and tweaks, then the constantly improving TF3D (now Sense 2.5). … Read more
iPhoneToday Update
I have been a big fan of iPhone Today for some time. It is, in my view, a huge improvement over the WM Start Menu, which is both inefficient (having to move from screen to screen with button presses) and visually ineffective (what was MS thinking when they chose the staggered rows layout?). In any … Read more
Bing Updated For WM
Bing just got an upgrade. The latest version I had (which was recent) was 5.0.11249.0 and the new version is 5.1.2010.3290. Those numbers sound like a big upgrade, so what’s changed? No freaking clue. I don’t know where the change log for this thing is, so it’s a mystery to me:) All I know is … Read more
Co0kie’s Home Tab v1.7.0 is Sick
OK so after NRG tweeted about 20 times about CHT (CoOkie’s Home Tab) I figured it was worth taking a look. Wow. I thought I was done messing with TF3D 2.5 but really, this is the only tweak you need. Just watch this video from PocketNow. Yeah, you can customize everything…like everything. Pretty sweet and … Read more
AT&T Carries Less Data Than VZ and Sprint
This is a little shocking to me. Despite the iPhone, which is always touted as a data whore, it turns out that both Verizon and Sprint carried more data last year than AT&T did. That really tells you how pathetic AT&T’s network is. It turns out that data cards carry a lot more traffic than … Read more
Hold Off on Visual Studio 2010 RTM
If you were thinking of getting Visual Studio 2010, which was just released, and using it for WP7 development you may want to hold off. “We need to highlight that the Windows Phone Developer Tools CTP (WPDT CTP) released last month is not compatible with the retail (RTM) release of Visual Studio 2010.” MS says … Read more
Palm for Sale, But Who’s Buying?
If somehow you have missed every other mobile news website in between your Internet browsing and here, first we thank you, and then point out that Palm is for sale. Eweek.com recently published the news and goes on to list some of its possible buyers. Listed are mobile heavyweights like HTC, Microsoft, Dell and others as potential buyers. Palm’s obvious trouble in getting WebOS into the hands of users have been cited as the company’s greatest woes, however what is lost amongst all this news of Palm’s bank statements is what value the company still has left. There are still two major assets that make Palm a key acquisition for a few companies. See what Palm has to offer after the break.

Why the Nexus One Can’t Win
Google has always concerned itself with being a consumer friendly, and overall “good” company, evidenced by their very simple corporate motto of “Do No Evil.” Google usually does a fantastic job of making decisions based on this philosophy. Gmail was one of the first email systems to lift the draconian standards for email capacity to a whole gigabyte (which now seems rather silly since my GMail account is about triple that and growing,) their Google Doc’s movement which is threatening Microsoft’s global domination of the word processor market, and even some basic things like Google Maps (which I’m sure most of us have used at some point or another,) and Google Voice. So when they began developing a Mobile Operating System that was open source there was huge praise. However, Google’s intentions were not wholly selfless. With the announcement of the Nexus One Google took a small sidestep around their motto to come in direct competition with other handset makers. Google’s idea was to offer a handset outright and off contract directly to the consumer to further undercut the networks, but what is good for consumer’s is not always the decision they make.
Task Managers Compared
If you’re like me you probably stopped paying attention to task managers. There are lots of them and they all seemingly do the same thing, so what’s the difference? Well XDA compared four of them to each other to show precisely how they do differ. They compared MMTaskManager, Showcase, ArkSwitch, XTask. The most praise is … Read more
Samsung Mobile and Sprint Attempt to Break Guinness World Records® Mark to Collect the Most Mobile Phones for Recycling at the Samsung Mobile 500
–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Samsung Telecommunications America (Samsung Mobile) and Sprint
WHAT:
Samsung Telecommunications America (Samsung Mobile) and Sprint (NYSE: S) collaborate to break the Guinness World Records® mark to collect the largest donation of mobile phones in one location April 15-18 at the Samsung Mobile 500 at Texas Motor Speedway in Fort Worth, TX. The joint effort is part of Samsung Mobile’s March to a Million program to collect and recycle one million mobile phones by the end of the year and Sprint’s Recycle for Victory recycling program. Samsung Mobile accepts ALL types of mobile phones to be recycled.
Recycle for Victory reduces the number of used wireless devices that end up in landfills by accepting wireless phones, batteries and accessories, and data cards regardless of make, model, carrier or condition for reuse and recycling. Sprint donates the net proceeds to Victory Junction – a NASCAR-themed, sleep-away camping experience that enriches the lives of children with chronic medical conditions or serious illnesses by allowing them to perform activities they would otherwise not be able to do.
Every NASCAR fan that donates an old mobile phone during the Samsung Mobile 500 race weekend will receive a limited edition 3D Samsung Mobile 500 pin, and, if donated before Sunday, be entered to win the following incredible prizes*:
• Be the Honorary Grand Marshall and Announce “Gentleman Start Your Engines”
• Ride in the official TMS Samsung Mobile 500 Pace Car
• Get exclusive view of 2010 Samsung Mobile 500 winner with a visit to Victory Lane
Winners will be announced live on Sunday, April 18 at the Speed Channel Stage at Gate 3 prior to the start of the Samsung Mobile 500. NASCAR fans that bring more than one mobile phone to be recycled can increase their odds of winning one of these extraordinary prizes. NASCAR fans who don’t have a mobile phone to recycle can spin-to-win fun prizes and receive a pre-paid postage mobile phone recycling envelope to mail-in old mobile phones to be recycled.
