- Bill Gates Pans The iPad
Posted By Eric Zeman
Microsoft employees have already taken a few shots at Apple's iPad, but it has to cause a special kind of hurt when Bill Gates himself takes the time out of his day to bash a product.

- Motorola Says No Android 2.1 Update For Droid
Posted By Eric Zeman
Earlier this week, Motorola's official Facebook page appeared to confirm that the company was planning to push Android 2.1 out to the Droid as early as this week. Turns out Motorola's Facebook staff was a bit premature.

- Palm Responds To Production Halt Report
Posted By Eric Zeman
According to a report coming out of Taiwan, Palm ceased manufacturing all of the handsets it currently sells, including the Pre and Pixi (Sprint) and Pre Plus and Pixi Plus (Verizon). Palm has officially responded to the report and set the record straight.

- Acquisition To Help Skyfire Deliver Android Browser
Posted By Eric Zeman
Today Skyfire -- maker of feature-rich browsers for Symbian S60 and Windows Mobile devices -- announced that it has acquired kolbysoft for an undisclosed sum. The deal means Skyfire will be able to bring a Flash and Silverlight-toting browser to the Android platform.

- Lower Voice Rates Doesn't Mean Lower Bills
Posted By Ed Hansberry
Most if not all of the US carriers have recently reduced their voice plans which may give the impression that monthly phone bills should be going down. For many though, the reverse may be true. Oddly enough, for those with feature phones, the monthly data rate may be on the increase. Of course, for those with smartphones, the threat of higher bills for higher data usage always looms.

- Why Opera Mini On iPhone Would Be Awesome
Posted By Eric Zeman
Today Opera Software announced that it will be previewing a version of Opera Mini for the iPhone during the upcoming Mobile World Congress event. Whether or not Apple will approve the app is anyone's guess, but there's one big reason it should.

- Boost Android Performance And Battery Life
Posted By Ed Hansberry
Those of you running a device with the Android operating system can look forward to potentially boosting device performance up to 300% while at the same time increasing battery life. Sound too good to be true? Maybe, maybe not.
