HTC Wildfire – First Look
June 16th, 2010 Droid In this post I will review the low-cost Android smartphone from HTC that was announced few weeks ago. The name for this phone was selected via a poll on Facebook, and it might sound a bit funny for a phone – HTC Wildfire. The phone might have an unusual name, but it offers a good [...]
BlueAnt S4 – Voice Controlled Speakerphone
June 15th, 2010 Droid The BlueAnt S4 Hands-Free Voice Activated Car Speakphone is a bluetooth device that mounts on your visor (in your car, obviously), and listens.

Motorola i1
June 14th, 2010 Droid Similarly to its Australian representative, Boost US is one of the cheapest mobile providers on the market, offering unlimited texts, calls, and data for only US$50 per month.

June 9th, 2010 Droid If you are one of the two million Apple-crazed, tech-loving buyers who have purchased an iPad this month, then you probably know why Apple has been able to maintain it’s high sale rate since the iPad hit the shelves on April 3. But for those of you who are not tech savvy, the iPad is [...]
DoubleTwist for Android
June 9th, 2010 Droid A new multimedia player for the Android platform was officially announced last week. The player is called DoubleTwist. And this event could go unnoticed, because there plenty of music players available on the Market, and the release of another one is not such a big news… The fact is that compared to some other players, [...]
Apple iPhone4 is official
June 8th, 2010 Droid Steve Jobs finally announced the iPhone 4. He is probably more pleased to see this occur than us with more than a couple iPhone 4s prematurely making their way into journalist’s hands over the last few weeks. But none of that really matters anymore. The iPhone 4 is here. Below are some of the main [...]
Woman sues Google for incorrect map directions
June 7th, 2010 Droid We have all heard similar stories before, but this one is different. To start with, it involves Google Maps service. Then, it deals with this service and how it is applied to the mobile devices such as the Blackberry. And finally, it asks one very simple, yet seemingly complex question – at what point does [...]
