My favorite virtual memory drawer Evernote just rolled out a major update to their web interface. While not a perfect match, the new design is more consistent with their desktop applications and offers more sharing options, including Facebook. Applies to shared notebooks as well, so any notes you want to share with the world just [...]
The crazy frenzy that erupted over the weekend was quite a sight to see. You would have thought that the world might have come to an end. Speculation (and keep in mind that it is speculation, albeit pretty good speculation) that Apple would not be unveiling a new iPhone or other new hardware at this [...]
AT&T has launched another major sale on Windows Phone 7 handsets, dropping the prices of the Samsung Focus and the LG Quantum down to a measly $50 on a new two-year contract. That’s not all, they have also slashed the price of the Galaxy S, Froyo-rocking Samsung Captivate to $100, on-contract as well. Also, the [...]
And here we go. Amazon has beat others to the punch by taking the wraps off of its cloud storage service and a media player. Called Amazon Cloud Drive, consumers get a free 5GB of storage and up to 20GB if you purchase an mp3 from Amazon’s music store. The service rolls out with a [...]
According to a report from Mobile-Review (via BGR), LG has apparently been tapped to build a Nexus tablet for Google and it could be ready as soon as summer or autumn of this year. The device will apparently be a pure Google experience, much like the Nexus One and the Nexus S, and it will [...]
According to a report from TMoNews, the NoDo update for T-Mobile’s HTC HD7 will be rolling out tomorrow. Unfortunately, the report offeres no other specifics in regards to how long the roll out will take, or if the new software will roll out OTA or if it will require manual installation. As a reminder, here [...]
It looks like those of you out there who had money riding on Sprint being all for AT&T’s acquisition of T-Mobile USA bet on the wrong horse because Sprint has come out in an official press release blasting the move. Sprint claims that the”competition, innovation, job creation and investment for the American economy” created by [...]

It looks like pitchforks are being raised over at Verizon’s official iPad 2 forum as more and more users are chiming in with complaints about Verizon’s handling of the iPad 2 launch and its lack of concrete ship dates. The original poster is someone claiming to have gone into a Verizon store on March 11th, [...]
Kickstarter projects I think can best be described as crowd sourced startups. A company announces a new product, takes pre-orders (or “investments”) and eventually comes out with the product or project. It’s not just for gadgets, its for all sorts of creative ideas. There’s a time line attached to the when the amount necessary has [...]
Motorola has made an update for the Motorola Atrix 4G, version 4.1.57, available, but unfortunately it won’t bring closure to those call quality issues or the lack of HUSPA support. Fortunately, it does bring a bunch of things that Atrix owners will be pleased about. The update includes an improved multimedia experience with Bluetooth headsets, [...]
It’s no secret that Microsoft’s update process for its new Windows Phone 7 operating system has been pretty bungled. The company’s first update rendered some devices useless and now the big one, the heralded and oft delayed ‘NoDo’ update, is now going to be coming to users beyond the promised ‘late March’ release date. For [...]
It looks like T-Mobile’s LG G-Slate and Sprint’s HTC EVO View 4G might have some competition at some point this summer as it looks like HTC’s Flyer is likely going to be coming in for landing on T-Mobile USA. According to a report from Pocketnow and backed up by some physical evidence, the HTC Flyer, [...]

HTC’s Droid Incredible has been out on Verizon for close to a year. The 4G LTE-enabled HTC ThunderBolt has been out for less than a month. Both will apparently get the bump up to Android 2.3 Gingerbread sometime during Q2. Over the weekend, Droid-Life received not one but two tips, one containing an email from [...]
Motorola and Verizon’s official Android 2.3 Gingerbread update didn’t roll out for the Motorola Droid X this weekend but that doesn’t mean that Droid X and Droid 2 owners can’t get their hands on the update. Last night, MyDroidWorld released Android 2.3 to those with a Droid X and a Droid 2. Yes, that means [...]
While most of us expect Apple to stick to their established routine of using WWDC to launch the next iPhone, several people think that might not be the case with one source even pointing to a delay until 2012. It’s possible, but it’s also possible that people’s expectations for the iPhone 5 are a little [...]
Perhaps pushing the boundaries of some developers’ scheduling flexibility, Apple announced their annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) will run from June 6 through June 10 at Moscone West in San Francisco. They promise to “unveil the future of iOS and Mac OS” but will that unveiling include a new iPhone?

AT&T offers a small base station calle a MicroCell, which is supposed to boost your network connection at your home. In testing, we found that the AT&T MicroCell is nice, but we wouldn’t pay for one. When AT&T offered to give me a free 3G MicroCell, I took them up on the offer. It was [...]
We don’t recommend movies and other entertainment here, though we do occasionally talk about something we’ve seen or experienced. In a departure for that, I will recommend that you might want to take advantage of this. To commemorate the sesquicentennial observance of the American Civil War, PBS is going to be rebroadcasting Ken Burns’ The [...]
Last week, we told you about a rumor that said that the Motorola Droid X Android 2.3 Gingerbread update could possibly start rolling out as soon as this Sunday, March the 27th.

HP’s John Rubenstein recently appeared on the Engadget Show and clarified a bit about how webOS will run on all those non-tablet HP computers.

This week at CTIA 2011 in Florida, Samsung announced two new tablet devices of the Galaxy Tab variety dubbed the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 and the Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9. The numbers of course refer to the size of the screen. Speaking of size, Fritz Nelson of InformationWeek posted a round-up of the event and [...]
Ha! All I can do is laugh. Samsung is taking some heat after introducing its new “slimmer than an iPad” Galaxy Tabs at CTIA earlier this week. The 8.9 and 10.1 inch models caught attention from all quarters and then caught even more when Samsung didn’t have units handy for reporters and bloggers to go [...]

The folks at CNet discovered an interesting tidbit at the Home Shopping Network – a Nook Color with Apps selling for $300. That’s a little over priced for the normally $250 device. But what was interesting was, not the expensive bundle, but the detail that an April update will be coming that adds the ability [...]
Wow, talk about a shocker. In some incredible news, Sony Ericsson has confirmed that the Xperia X10, a device that the company had said would not get anymore Android updates beyond Android 2.1 Éclair, will be getting a jump up to Android Gingerbread 2.3 sometime this summer. Rub your eyes, wash off the screen, what [...]
Of course the iPad2 would finally arrive on a day that I was in a tech rehearsal from 11am to 11pm. That seems to be how these things go in my life of late. I was glad it finally arrived however, and I’m sure Apple is glad that they got some of the early orders [...]
Very, very interesting move on Google’s part here, but it might be too little too late. According to Andy Rubin, Mr. All-Things-Android at Google, it is going to be some time before Google releases Honeycomb to the community. What’s that you say? We’re already seeing Honeycomb devices out there and promised. That’s right. The big [...]
