Behold, the gigantic Windows smartphone in NYC’s Herald Square. No, Microsoft isn’t going after the under-served Godzilla demographic; it’s celebrating the release of its four new phones, which all run on the delicious-sounding Mango (less-deliciously known as Windows Phone 7.5).
Those four phones would be the HTC Radar 4G, Samsung …
Look at that iPhone 4S, all sleek and new and, well, pretty much identical to the iPhone 4 on the outside. It’s what’s inside that counts, from the 4S’s superior camera and faster all-in-one processor to a voice assistant named Siri you can’t find anywhere else—anywhere else that’s not an Apple phone, anyway.
It sounds like a Siri …
With the holiday smartphone smackdown in full swing, the HTC Rezound is stepping into the ring. At $299 on Verizon Wireless, this Android phone will have some tough competition against Motorola’s Droid RAZR and possibly Samsung’s Galaxy Nexus, but HTC’s hoping the addition of Beats Audio will help the Rezound stand out.
The Rezound …
Open mouth, insert foot: Siri apparently did something like that yesterday, responding to iPhone 4S owners’ questions with decidedly un-savvy answers. Answers like: “Sorry, I’m having trouble connecting to the network” and “Sorry I’m not able to connect right now” and “Sorry, I don’t have a network connection.”
But users actually did …
Everyone loves Siri, the iPhone 4S’ virtual personal assistant with a particularly snappy comeback for certain questions. But what they may not love is the amount of data Siri uses in catering to your every whim.
A report from Ars Technica suggests that overuse of Siri could unknowingly force users over their monthly data limit. Every …
The $39 billion merger between AT&T and T-Mobile may still be going ahead, but it’ll have to face a lawsuit claiming unfair competition from Sprint and C Spire before it can be finalized, with a U.S. District Judge allowing the companies’ case to proceed after dismissing some of their more outrageous claims.
Judge Ellen Huvelle ruled …
I’m not sure this is actually newsworthy, but here it is anyway: Apple will overhaul its full product line over the course of 2012, including the iPad, iMac, iPhone and MacBook Air. That, according to a “source in the upstream supply chain” confabbing with DigiTimes. I know, it’s basically like shouting “Revelation! Computer manufacturer …
Hold your horses before you update that phone. If you’re considering downloading Apple’s latest and greatest mobile software (specifically, iOS 5), you may want to rethink that for a second. Apple has admitted that some bugs are causing battery issues with certain iPhone models.
Some customers are finding that their iPhones are

If you can’t wait to get your grubby little paws on what may turn out to be the best Android phone this year, strap in. According to an apparently leaked roadmap, it’s coming this month—but perhaps not until after Thanksgiving.
Droid Life may have managed to grab a quick peek at Verizon’s product roadmap for the upcoming …
From one spat to the next, the latest footnote to the chapter in the book that’s part of an ongoing legal series of thrust and counters involves Samsung demanding that Apple pony up the source code for its just-released iPhone 4S. Make this salvo number “I’ve lost count,” following Apple putting the kibosh on Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 …
Apple iPhone 4S users are in the worst place Apple users can be: Somewhere between a possible iPhone 4S battery life pandemic and official acknowledgement of the issue by Cupertino with usage guidelines and a fix timeframe. Apple’s newest iPhone hit shelves in the U.S. on October 14, and since then threads have appeared across the web, …
Turns out you don’t need an iPhone 4S to run Siri, Apple’s new virtual assistant software. All you need instead are some serious hacking skills and, well, actually, a spare iPhone 4S.
