After Apple broke from its typical summer cycle and released the iPhone 4S in October, many wondered whether the company was making an exception, or establishing a new rule. Would the next iPhone go back to the standard June/July slot, or would new iPhones... 

Apple and Microsoft have a rivalry that is the stuff of legend. In recent years, though, each company has come to dominate separate arenas. Microsoft still owns the desktop PC market, while Apple has the most popular smartphone and is the undisputed... 

For all of the benefits that Android offers — variety, customization, cutting-edge specs — official software updates can be a problem. Unless you have a Nexus device, chances are good that you’ll be waiting for months before you get... 

The iPhone is a slick, attractive device. It’s light, relatively small, and has an appealing combination of glass and steel. Have you ever wanted to take all of that and wrap it in a thick, heavy, camouflaged hunk of polycarbonate? No?? Well, in... 

Good news, everyone! HTC is reportedly working on yet another music streaming service. Why? Because Spotify, Rdio, Napster, Last.fm, Pandora, Slacker, Zune, Mflow, Kazaa, and the rest don’t provide quite enough options for listeners just yet. Apparently... 

We all carry gadgets around, they all have batteries inside, and they all need recharging regularly. That usually happens at home each night, or at work if you’ve got a free outlet. But public locations usually either try to cater for your charging... 

A few years ago the creation of a Universal Translator akin to that seen in Star Trek would have seemed decades away. But then projects like Google Translate kept getting better, Google added conversation translation on Android, and more of us are getting... 

Any time that a product sells extremely well and becomes a household name, it’s only a matter of time before rival manufacturers try to compete with it. The Kindle Fire was one of the biggest products of the 2011 holiday season, so it’s only... 

RIM‘s going to have to trumpet its holiday success in England more loudly than ever if it hopes to drown out the sound of feet marching away from the BlackBerry encampment. Earlier this week, oilfield services titan Halliburton pulled the plug... 

Now that we apparently know (nearly) everything about the iPad 3, the rumor mill needs something to focus on, right? The latest target of Apple murmurs is the fabled “smaller iPad.” We’ve been hearing about this (supposed) device on-and-off... 

Wireless carriers have us right where they want us. When there are only four significant national providers in the US, there’s only so much competition for our business. So when they all band together (even if only in mindset) and decide on a “new... 

As a child, there’s nothing quite like playing with a remote-controlled car. Sure, the novelty may wear off a bit when you grow up and get an actual automobile, but there’s still something cool about being able to wirelessly control a toy... 

For the past year and a bit, it seems like every time the sun shines on RIM (however briefly) there’s always a big, grey cloud that rolls in right away. After receiving positive reactions to the PlayBook OS 2 demo and its added remote display and... 

The growing popularity of smartphones and tablets have meant we all need to get used to typing on a touchscreen keyboard. While such keyboards have improved, they can still leave a lot to be desired, and the smaller the display the harder it can be to...
