HTC T8290

Might this be a peek into our near-term future?  I hope so.  You're looking at the HTC T8290, a shiny, sleek, badass looking piece of kit from HTC destined for Russia's Yota network.

More on next HTC Android phone

First off, how cool is it that HTC dropped some significant cell phone news on the blogosphere via Twitter the other day?  I'm not saying Twitter itself is/isn't cool, but rather that it's neat to see a tech company innovate when it comes to communicating with the media.  Particularly so a tech company that uses the word "Innovation" in their marketing materials. Second, my post about the possibility of the HTC Touch HD coming to...

User review of G1

An Android Community user - and T-Mobile Store Manager in Florida, apparently - who goes by kaziko has posted the first user review of T-Mobile's G1 Android phone.  The review - which takes the form of an ongoing forum thread - is summarized nicely in this post if you don't care to dive into the 11+ page thread. Of course, if you do there's text galore to tide you over until those G1s start shipping on the 22nd. So what's kaziko...

Driving with both earbuds

For the past few weeks I've been considering writing a post about how California's law against driving while holding a cell phone has done pretty much nothing to curb the habit - at least in the Oakland/Berkeley area where I live and work.  Yesterday on my bike ride home from the office I figured out why I hadn't penned the post yet.  The law has done something, I think.  Sure, I still see at least three drivers with cellies in...

Huh?), I am sure of this:  Samsung Mobile's bustin' out all over with their Xmas-time lineup of new phones for US carriers.  Here's a little summary for you, best as I can cobble it out of truth, rumors, and other stuff that's just across the line from pure fiction: T919 "Behold" (T-Mobile):  This one's all but a lock.  TouchWiz UI...

This week's Noah's Bark podcast features an interview with Chloe Sladden, VP of Special Project Programming at Current TV.  Chloe and I talked about "Hack the Debate," a collaboration between Current and Twitter which allows viewers to post "tweets" - in this case, short commentaries on the debate - some of which are chosen to run in a constant stream on the bottom portion of Current's TV broadcasts of the debates.Last night I watched the...

T-Mobile @Home

When I first heard that T-mobile was offering a VoIP service, frankly, I wondered what could cause them to do such a thing, and what would motivate a customer to buy it. I've never paid much attention to VoIP because I've gotten so used to being mobile, 100% of the time. I went to my local T-Mobile store to check it out, and saw that they were pushing it as the hot new product. The service is $10 a month for unlimited calls, to anywhere in...
