- First Impressions With Sprint's Android Phone
Posted By Eric Zeman
Sprint's first Android phone, the HTC Hero, goes on sale in just a
few short weeks. I was able to spend some time with it recently. The
hardware feels great and HTC's Sense user interface gives the system
software a bit of pinache.

- Do Twitter Users Really Want To Make Phone Calls?
Posted By Eric Zeman
Today Twitter is rolling out a new beta service that will allow users
to call one another. Calls will be limited to just two minutes, and users
need to follow each other. Celebrities beware?

- Trackball Problems Plaguing BlackBerry Tour
Posted By Eric Zeman
According to an analyst, the BlackBerry Tour is seeing huge return rates
at Sprint and Verizon Wireless stores. What's the problem? Failure of the
trackball.

- Windows Mobile 6.5 Gets Multi-Touch Device
Posted By Ed Hansberry
I love to be proven wrong on occasions and this is one of those times.
Just yesterday</A> I went over the minimum specs of the new Windows Mobile
7 phones and one of the features is support for multi-touch screens. I
figured though that that feature would pretty much eliminate the possibility
of upgrading a WinMo 6.5 phone to WinMo 7 since the soon to be launched 6.5
version from MS doesn't support multi-touch. That may have been an erroneous assumption.

- Thoughts On Opera Mini 5 For BlackBerry
Posted By Marin Perez
Opera Software released the beta version of its Mini 5 browser earlier
today, and I've spent a little time with it on my BlackBerry. Research
In Motion fans will be happy to know there is finally a good browser for
their favorite e-mailing machine.

- Whatever Happened To The Idea Of Instant On?
Posted By Eric Zeman
It takes too long for many of today's most popular mobile devices to boot
up. While some people are more patient than others, I contend that 60
seconds is way too long for a mobile device to boot. Let's take
a look at how some of today's tech stacks up.

- Windows Mobile 7 Chassis Spec Emerge
Posted By Ed Hansberry
More details are coming out about the eagerly anticipated Windows Mobile
7 platform. All phones are not created equal and it is something end users
pick up on quickly. Carriers and manufacturers want to minimize cost and
maximize profit while I am sure Microsoft and consumers would prefer their
device perform like a Porsche 911 GT3 on steroids. Microsoft is now taking
a more active roll in ensuring that even if the phone that bears their
operating system doesn't perform like a Porsche, it won't mimic that of
a Chevette either.

- Opera Mini 5 Brings Support For Touch Screens
Posted By Eric Zeman
Opera Software lifted the curtains on Opera Mini 5 Beta, a brand-new version
of the browser for mobile phones. Aside from a refreshed design, the biggest
new features for this version of Opera Mini are support for touch screen
devices and a more usable Speed Dial tool.
