| Nov 12, 2009 | Walmart bumps the Palm Pixi down to $30 right off the bat | Considering that Walmart’s already slinging the Palm Pre at $99 bucks, it might have been a bit tough for them to justify peddling the Pre’s new baby brother, the Pixi, at the MSRP of $99. So they’re not. Right on launch day, Walmart Wirele... |

T-Mobile G1 hacked to run Google Nav | I like to imagine that a special place exists somewhere on the Web where a bunch of unassuming “ordinary” folks get together to solve world technology issues.

| Oct 23, 2009 | Rumor: Verizon Storm 2 launching Oct. 28th at $179.99? | It’s almost depressing to see how far out of their way Verizon is going — knowingly or not — to tone down the launch of the BlackBerry Storm2 on their network.

| Sep 22, 2009 | Intel announces Moblin 2.1 | So, you read that headline. First word: Intel. Got it. Second word: announces. Easy. Third word? Moblin. “What the hell is a Moblin?”, you wonder. We feel your pain. All the jargon, all the model numbers – it gets tough to handle. So, here’... |
| Sep 17, 2009 | Palm on WinMo: Sorry, it's over. | Palm just got off the phone with Windows Mobile (well, actually, they just got off the phone with a bunch of members of the press – but roll with it.) “You know, we’ve been on again and off again for a while. We’ve seen other people, I’ve k... |

| Jul 28, 2009 | Hey LG BL40 – Why the long face? | The more we look at this thing, the more we wonder if we’ll need a special pair of pants to carry it around. Will we need LG Chocolate BL40-certified pockets? Or will we need to carry it around in some sort of sling? We still haven’t touche... |
