HTC’s riding a tsunami-like wave of new Windows Mobile-based smartphones all the way to the bank. With more smartphones on market than we can keep track of (well, almost), HTC has risen to the top of their game in recent months. HTC is the powerhouse behind the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1, they’ve got their own HTC Touch Diamond and HTC Touch Pro to boast of, and they’re even on board as the premier Android-handset manufacturer ...

There’s nothing worse than paying for high-speed 3G wireless data and then getting shafted with artificially-limited data speeds. iPhone 3G owners have been complaining of sluggish 3G data speeds, resulting in speculation that the iPhone 3G’s hardware or firmware were to blame. But, with Wired’s global iPhone 3G data speed survey suggesting that the network is likely to blame, and laboratory testing of the iPhone 3G’s antenna essentially absolving the iPhone of any hardware defects, ...

Hardware, software, firmware, or networks. No one really knows what’s going on with the iPhone 3G that’s causing all these network problems, but new data points to the problems being rooted in the wireless network itself. At this point, we can rule out the iPhone’s antenna as causing the network issues. And, Apple has announced that their iPhone 2.0.2 OS should help alleviate some 3G connectivity woes. The latest data from Wired’s global iPhone 3G ...

This isn’t going to be any consolation for those iPhone 3G owners out there going through the trials and tribulations associated with unreliable iPhone 3G performance. From sluggish 3G data connectivity to signal strength issues, the iPhone 3G has been plagued with problems. Apple even released their iPhone 2.0.2 OS to help solve some of the problems, but has been widely reported as ineffective. So, if the iPhone 3G isn’t causing the problems, what is? ...

What good is a new iPhone OS update if you can’t make use of most of the installed applications on your iPhone or iPhone 3G? Not much good. The iPhone 2.0.2 OS update has been reported to be causing application-related headaches for some iPhone users. The iPhone app-problems range from third-party applications simply not starting up to applications starting up and immediately crashing out. In either case, the iPhone application problem is bound to be ...

RCRWireless has compiled a list of the Top Ten US Wireless Carriers for 2Q 2008. There’s no big surprise here, with AT&T still leading Verizon as the top two US wireless carriers. But, the data is still interesting to look at. We see that AT&T is still No. 1 in the rankings, but only just. Verizon added 200,000 more wireless subscribers in Q2 2008 than did AT&T. And, Verizon’s recent acquisition of Rural Cellular wasn’t ...

Unfortunately, we’re still waiting on the Nike+ application for our iPhones and iPhone 3Gs. Last we heard, Apple was ...

Well that sure was quick.

And, following on the iPhone Dev Team’s release of the iPhone 2.0.1 OS-jailbreaking solution, Pwnage Tool 2.0.2, Cupertino has released their latest iPhone OS. iPhone OS 2.0.2 isn’t yet officially supported by PwnageTool 2.0.2, so if you want to ...

Now this is just the kind of convergence we’ve been waiting for! The solar-powered necktie might not exactly be the idea in mobile convergence, but with photo-voltaic cells woven in to the necktie’s fabric and a pouch to hold your mobile phone, the solar-powered necktie is the epitome of “geek-chic.” Or maybe just “geek.” The sun-loving necktie is the brainchild of researchers at North Carolina State University. The researchers apparently made a breakthrough that allows ...

Talk about flying blind. The Irish Times is reporting that an air-traffic controller used SMS text messages to help an instrument-less pilot land safely. When a twin-engined Piper aircraft lost power to all its avionics systems (electrical power, communications and weather radar) in a “serious incident,” the pilot used his mobile phone to call a nearby airport’s air traffic control center to inform them of his complete electronics blackout. The pilot was flying without any ...

What does a $1,000 iPhone application look like? While we’re not in the business of snatching up iPhone applications with four-figure (well, it’s $999, so the app is at the high-end of three-figures) price-tags, a YouTube user was kind enough to post a video demonstration of the now-infamous “I Am Rich” iPhone application that is famous for doing little more than flaunting your obscene riches. The application was clearly a joke that failed to actually ...

In a recent interview with the Wall Street Journal, Steve Jobs confirmed that Apple did indeed build a remote iPhone application disabling feature into the iPhone’s Mac OS. The remote application disabling feature has been referred to as the “Blacklist” feature because it allows the iPhone to connect to Apple’s servers to check for any unauthorized apps installed on the iPhone. Upon finding a “blacklisted” application installed on the iPhone, the feature would allow Apple ...

Windows users are likely familiar with the dreaded and all-too-prevalent “Blue Screen of Death.” Heck, even Bill Gates hit that infamous BOD snafu during a high-profile keynote.

Scattered reports are coming in that point towards iPhones and iPhone 3Gs running the iPhone 2.0 OS and iPhone 2.0.1 OS experiencing system crashes with iPhone application installations and ...

Apple’s getting better at considering their customer’s wishes and feelings with regard to the company’s services and products. They’ve embraced responsibility for the MobileMess and Steve Jobs even owned up to botching the launch. That’s a great first move from a company that has traditionally been the most locked-down and cold-shouldered company in the tech world. But, Apple is still holding on to their deep-set roots.
