Sure, we’ve seen a lot of product announcements from Hop-on accompanied by janky product renders by the years — but we’ve never seen an actual Hop-on phone, so we’re a little skeptical of the company’s promise that am to release an Android phone at CES that year. What’s more, it’s supposed to come […]

Locked in a footrace with AT&T’s Fuze to become the first US national carrier to launch a variant of the HTC Touch Pro, Sprint has announced that folks can start ordering the QWERTY smartphone that week from “select national retailers,” making good on a promise made at CTIA last month. That’s not […]

We’re going out on a limb here and assuming that the Haute Diggity Dog iBone comes jailbroken and ready to rock, or at least that’s the impression we get from checking out that heretofore unseen bevy of icons. Customized for the “tech savvy dog on the go,” that here iPhone chew […]

It looks like getting up and running on an unactivated G1 is going to be a little easier than Apple made it for iPhone users. No jailbreak required. All you really need to do is beg, steal or borrow an active T-Mobile SIM card and slip it in the phone for the […]

Leave it to Access to completely underplay the debut of one of the most anticipated mobile operating systems of the decade — anticipation that’s certainly waned, but we’re assured somebody’s at least a little excited. ALP 3.0 and ALP mini are about ready for mass consumption, with ALP mini available to licensees […]

Well, it looks like G1 owners (or some, at least) will be getting a bit of an unexpected surprise when they turn on their grade new device tomorrow, as T-Mobile is apparently already set to start pushing out the very first OTA software update for the phone. Nothing too major, it seems, but […]
