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... 

The big news keep coming from the mobile industry. After Google purchased Motorola Mobility in a move that surprised many, HP announced yesterday that they will stop their webOS smartphone and tablet business. I was hoping that HP could breath new life into the platform, but sadly they never put in the effort which would have been needed to make webOS more visible to the public. Instead of releasing... 

Today Google announced that Motorola Mobility will soon be a part of the Google empire. At first this might seem very surprising as Google always said that they are not interested getting into the hardware business, but looking at all those recent patent issues Google has to handle it makes a lot of sense for them to strengthen their mobile patent portfolio. Of course Android will remain open and its... 

Lenovo recently presented their medium range Android Tablet called IdeaPad K1 and blogs like engadget already published reviews for it. As expected this tablet doesn’t come with groundbreaking technical specs, but has a low price tag (499$) which makes it attractive for customers which don’t want to spend much more than 500$ to get the thinnest and lightest tablets out there (i’m... 

Samsung announced an update which will bring their custom UI called TouchWiz to the Galaxy Tab 10.1. The Update is scheduled to be rolled out in august for US devices, and according to Samsung it’s optional as you can decline to install TouchWiz. Interestingly you won’t get any future updates though if you decide to ditch the TouchWiz upgrade. To me the Galaxy 10.1 tab is currently the...
