Amazon made a big impact by announcing the Kindle Fire 7 inch Android tablet for a extremely competitive 200$ pricetag. Prior to the Kindle Fire you could only find very low quality hardware from no-name Chinese companies. Samsung, HTC, Motorola, Asus, Acer and nearly all other important manufacturers released tablets which were as expensive as an Apple iPad or only slightly cheaper. After the HP webOS... 

When the Nexus S got released alongside Android 2.3 Gingerbread there was a delay of about 2 months until Nexus One owners got their update. Many people were disappointed since the Nexus One was supposed to get updates very quick. Instead Google decided that it needs some more testing time before rolling out the newest version of Android to the previous Nexus device. With Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich... 

The fate of webOS has been decided. Well, at least for now. HP decided to open source webOS and let the community drive the mobile OS in future. HP will keep on contributing development resources though, and even new HP hardware is a possibility. Competition is always good, and I would love to see webOS finally get the attention it deserves. Making webOS a success is not an easy task. It was... 

Google announced yesterday via Twitter that the ICS update has started to roll out to all GSM Nexus S smartphones. Finally the wait is over and Nexus S customer got what was promised: quick updates directly from Google. Being among the first users to get an Android update is one of the main USPs of Nexus devices so it’s good to see that Google was quicker this time compared to the last major... 

Some years ago mobile phone manufacturers competed in creating the smallest device not much larger than a credit card when it comes to lenght and width. Nowadays the race has changed, as it seems like smartphones are getting bigger year-over-year especially due to the display size. HTCs Titan is a prime example of the current trend. Sporting a huge 4.7 inch screen, most people will wonder if this is... 

You might say that Nokia is a little bit late to the party (more like a few years late), but at least they decided to ditch Symbian as OS for flagship devices and teamed up with Microsoft in order to make a comeback. Nokias marketshare was steadily declining in the past years and it seemed like nothing can stop the momentum of iOS and Android. Microsoft released Windows Phone 7 which is a unique and... 

Apple presented the iPhone 4S a few weeks ago, and Google followed by announcing the Galaxy Nexus device made by Samsung. There were many rumours about an iPhone 5 and therefore some people were initially disappointed by the lack of a completely new iPhone. Nonetheless the iPhone 4S is a very solid device with greatly enhanced specs like a faster (dual core) CPU, more RAM, new camera and better antenna.... 

Rumours about the Nexus Prime aka Galaxy Nexus have been floating around for months as Google is preparing their next major Android update called ‘Ice Cream Sandwich’. All evidence points to Samsung being again the manufacturer of choice, even though some people would have liked to see another company getting a shot at it. Samsung is currently the most successful Android Smartphone manufacturer... 

Microsoft announced yesterday that the roll out of the latest Windows Phone update has begun. After many positive previews of the Windows Phone 7.5 Mango update in the recent months, all customers will soon be able to try out all new Mango features first hand. At this point it seems that there are only a few additional bugfixes and changes compared to the latest Mango beta. You can find a complete... 

HTC Sense was the reason why i switched from Windows Mobile to Android. I was looking for something new as Microsoft didn’t innovate with Windows Mobile for many years, but at the same time vanilla Android running on the T-Mobile G1 just wasn’t attractive enough for me. The user interface looked like it was in beta stage, and a lot of functionality was missing (i.e. full exchange server...
