14. November 2009

8 Comments

ITG has made a good thing with the xpPhone. It may not sell like the iPhone but the hard cold fact that it will run Windows XP when it comes out is enough to make you want to talk about it with almost anyone you meet. Yeah, it’s a phone but it’s a computer, too, [...]

14. November 2009

5 Comments

One thing I seriously don’t like with the BlackBerry App World is that it’s limited to PayPal account owners only. It’s a prerequisite before you can start downloading apps from the App World, which to be honest, is quite a hassle. Fortunately though, RIM big boss Jim Balsillies has just announced that their planning to [...]

It’s not surprising to see Nokia dominating the global smartphone market scene, but what is interesting to see is how both RIM and Apple posted huge growth this past quarter.

LG Watch Phone to be Thinner?

13. November 2009

1 Comment

We didn’t think anyone would care enough but the LG GD910 watch phone may soon be thin enough to be fashionable–at least it’s successor. The phone is a little heavy right now and God knows, the battery  would have to be amazingly advanced for a thin watch phone to be even contemplated. But who knows, [...]

With the original BlackBerry Storm making such a big splash when it debuted last year, it’s hard to imagine that its successor, the Storm 2, isn’t creating the same kind of buzz this year. Case and point, Verizon has already launched the BlackBerry Storm 2 without much fanfare and has been available for retail since [...]

K-Touch X90 Phone, Socialite Must-Have

12. November 2009

5 Comments

I’d like to buy this for my quasi-socialite girlfriend. This will fit inside her Fendi bag and wouldn’t look odd beside her makeup kit. The K-Touch X90 looks like a makeup kit, too. It’s a square-shaped cellphone with a rotating screen and a slideout numeric keypad. It comes with a stylus (touch pen) attached to [...]
