Well, after the HTC CEO said in a cryptic tone that they would never make an Android HD2 there was a general round of murmuring about what happens to the rumored HTC Dragon. But there was also the other interpretation that he is simply saying that to deny it without denying it. We were in [...]

Remember Kurara? That phone from Sony Ericsson That got leaked right after the XPERIA X10 came out from behind the veil? Well, we had it pegged down as an ordinary phone that is the stripped down, cheaper version of the Aino megaphone. Turns out that that is not the case at all. It is actually [...]

Get in on the latest in the iPhone app store, the hottest little place to be on earth if you truly believe that for every problem there’s an app just waiting to happen. (Okay, so may be I like the iPhone a bit too much).

Nokia has finally released its Maemo5 based smartphone – the N900. Maemo is Nokia’s next generation mobile OS. It is a Linux-based platform that seeks to take on such juggernauts as the iPhone OS and the Android. The N900 has intrigued the tech community and people in general with its bevy of features ever since [...]

As I continue with my line of iPhone updates, one thing is becoming pretty clear – Apple is going to have a massive year next year. They have always been good at generating vas amounts of publicity by not saying anything at all regarding their future plans and now we have rumors of a Verizon [...]

Apple has taken another small step today towards making the app approval process more clear, making a lot of iPhone devs nod and say “well, something is better than nothing”. Plus we have still more iPhone apps to talk about. Get over to the other side and get started.

As I said in my last post, the iPhone has been hotter than usual these past few days. With new carriers entering the foray globally (read the UK), the scene has gotten just that much more interesting. Since no one can claim that they have put stuff in the iPhone that the other guy cannot [...]

I am going to be doing a series of iPhone related posts for the next few posts. We have people doing interesting things with their iPhones and have more interesting accessories coming out for it now. In the meantime, the first ever worm for the iPhone gives everyone a bit of a scare. Get over [...]

Today we have three new iPhone apps for you. Actually that should be two and a half new apps because Shazam was already there. But the other two are really great apps, especially because one of them lets you share your photos instantly just like MMS but without depending on your lame carrier to finally [...]

Are you a cell phone owner who pays for ringtones? Are you someone who recently searched for answers to questions like “how to use iTunes ringtones” or “how to find free iPhone ringtunes”? If you do you might like the following comfortable way of creating and adding new ringtunes automatically to Apple’s iTunes software. The [...]

Okay folks, the Droid is finally out now. Through all the iPhone-bashing and the creepy ad campaign, it has made its way into our minds and hearts (sort of). At the very least it has forced people to take a look at it and decide what it’s really like. Overall, the reviewers have liked it [...]

If there’s one phone that is constantly in the news, it is the iPhone. Love it or hate it, you simply cannot ignore it. So here we have some more iPhone news for all you lovers and haters out there. This time around, the iPhone gets awarded the ‘Worst Phone Ever Award’, gets a new [...]

Right after Sony Ericsson made the XPERIA X10 (AKA Rachael/X3) official, the rumor mill threw out another leak at us. This time it is as model called the Kurara. Kurara seems to be the basic version of the flagship model Satio. For those who don’t know, Satio is a new phone from Sony Ericsson that [...]

The Qualcomm Snapdragon seems to be on its way to becoming the Atom of the smartphone world. With a clock speed of 1GHz and a low-power ARM design, this chip is fast becoming the mainstay of big new smartphones that are big on everything. However, more processing power always means less battery life and the [...]

Apple has begun the week a bit weirdly by banning Atom out of Mac OS. Whether this will last, we don’t know yet but if it is made permanent then the hackintosh netbooks will have some major difficulties running. In another interesting turn of events, Orange has this T&C in place that actually blocks apps [...]

Finally, Sony Ericsson’s Rachael has become official. The amount of speculation and expectation that this phone had behind it, I was almost apprehensive about the entire thing. It might’ve been a huge let down. But thankfully, the leaks have been pretty accurate and now we are looking at a stunner of a phone. Yes people, [...]

Just about a day ahead of the big launch, a video showing off the XPERIA’s media capabilities was leaked. Seems like it will pose a definite threat to the iPhone. It looks a lot like the Zune HD’s UI and no one thnks it is a coincidence. Still, even that is a good thing because [...]

It is Halloween people and here at gHacks we are all feeling the chill in the air as the sprits walk the earth. So in keepng with that feeling, let’s revisit those memories that have left us scarred for life. Those hair raising tales of gore that still give us nightmares. Yes, I am talking [...]

Good news iPhone lovers and users in general, we finally have apps in the App Store that do things we have always wanted to do with the iPhone. First up, we finally have Marvel Comics titles available on the App store (yay!). Then we have this cool new app that translates your speech as you [...]

Update: New teaser Video posted by Sony, embedded at the end of the article. So you know, the fact that we are almost completely skipping the X2 in our minds is probably a really good thing. We get to ignore the flashy, not-so-useful phone and get to something that will be as powerful as the [...]

Alright, it is barely past the start of the week and it looks like we have quite a few phone related tings to talk about. There’s a new Android phone that is shivering the in cold Russia right now (awww). T-Mobile confirms all rumors by revealing its Project Dark phone plans. And there are two [...]

Recently I finally managed to get rid of my iPhone for a much more Linux-geek friendly mobile – the HTC Hero. One of my issues with the iPhone was that, in order to do ANY syncing, you had to use iTunes, which I really didn’t like. And although the HTC Hero has yet to be [...]

The iPhone has been one of the major driving factors behind the exponential growth of Apple in recent times. Their latest financial report for Q3 2009 shows growth that has blown everyone away, including themselves it seems. Despite the soft economy, they have actually managed to remain terrifically bullish and have gained 12% year on [...]

This is shaping up to be one hell of a war between Apple and Palm. For those of you who have the Palm Pre, you are aware that Apple recently sent out an update to the iTunes software (8.2.1) a few days ago that bricked the Palm Pre’s syncing feature. It was noted for sometime [...]

Its not everyday that you have a phone that lives up to its hype, a few that have in recent years has been the iPhone, Razr, Omnia, Touch HD and more recently the Palm Pre. But the big difference between all these phones is their OS. iPhone runs Apples mobile OSX, Omnia and Touch HD [...]

So far we’ve heard quite a bit of comparisons between the webOS platform and OSX (for the iPhone), as well as Android vs. OSX. But so far, comparisons between both Android and webOS have been nonexistent. What makes this lack of coverage quite interesting is the fact that both operating systems are built off similar [...]

iPhone sells 1,000,000 devices in its opening weekend, Palm sells 300,000 Pre’s in 3 weeks, T-Mobile has 1,000,000 G1’s in circulation. You’d think with these numbers Microsoft and RIM would be pacing their respective offices. But instead both companies are business as usual. I’m almost sure that if you take a visit to Redmond or [...]

Non-standard phone chargers are one of the most annoying things of cell phones. The lifecycle of a cell phone is usually two years. That’s when the contract ends and a new cell phone is offered as an incentive to stay with the cell phone provider for another two year period. Cell phone manufacturers use their [...]

With the iPhone, Pre, and a whole host of Android devices out the door, the race for the control of the cell phone market is heating up. As things usually go in the cell phone world, there are more battles of who had what first then who actually made it work right. That said, I [...]

It has been known for some time that hardly any innovation goes into the technology world these days. While many will debate as to whether this is true or not, a quick look at some of the biggest tech crazes of our time will show that the idea has been around for longer then we [...]

Although the first Google Android phone was a success (albeit moderate) it was eclipsed by more prominent players in the industry such as Apple, Blackberry (Storm) and most recently Palm with their Pre. But despite that Android has garnered much support from many companies and that support keeps growing daily. It is with this success [...]

The iPhone 3GS! By now you’re probably familiar with the device and the name, (S stands for SPEED!). But in case you had a few questions regarding OS 3.0 or the new device I’ve got it covered. The biggest question on most peoples mind is what the major differences are. First of all it should [...]

Google’s Android operating system is still only available in the T-Mobile G1 cell phone. Cell phone manufacturers and Google are however planning to release at least 18 Android based devices in this year alone which will surely help in gaining market share in the cell phone market. T-Mobile G1 users can access the Android Market [...]

A couple of months ago, I did something I thought I never would do: I bought an iPhone. Technology enthusiasts generally seem pretty torn about these devices: some see them as fantastic whilst others see them as an expensive device which isn’t very functional. I, too, was torn. I vowed never to buy an iPhone, [...]

Evernote used to be a quite little commercial app which a few people knew about. It wasn’t bad, but then someone thought that there was much more potential in a market dominated mostly by OneNote.

I recently discovered a really cool feature in Vista (I think it isn’t available quite so readily in XP), which allows you to transform your computer into a phone really easily. Of course you’ll need a bluetooth capable mobile, and a bluetooth capable computer (or an adapter), but once you hook the two together you [...]

Almost everyone has a mobile phone today and phones themselves have gone beyond just devices to use to talk to people. Today’s phones come ready with a whole bunch of bells and whistles for their owners to play with. One of these includes support for video. One of the best resources for an owner of [...]

The same Nokia cell phone model can come with different firmwares depending on the cell phone provider that sold the cell phone. It is not uncommon that Nokia cell phones provided by cell phone providers contain an older firmware version than those that are unbranded. A newer cell phone firmware does not always have to [...]

QR Code can be described as a two-dimensional barcode which can be decoded quickly by cameras, especially those in mobile phones, supporting the codes. The T-Mobile G1 cell phone is for example able to scan QR Code and open the associated resource in the cell phone. The resource is usually a website but can also [...]

Android Market is the app repository that Android cell phone users can access to download new applications for their cell phone.
