- CTIA 2009: Android Has Officially Arrived
Posted By Eric Zeman
If anyone doubted that Android would succeed, the news coming out of the CTIA wireless trade show this week in San Diego should put those fears to rest. Samsung alone revealed two new Android handsets, and it isn't alone. A handful of phone makers announced this week that they are banking on Android to take them into the future.

- CTIA To Phone OEMs: Standardize, Standardize, Standardize!
Posted By Eric Zeman
One of the issues plaguing the wireless industry is a broad proliferation of connection ports on mobile phones. Proprietary ports mean consumers have less choice when it comes to finding replacement hardware. Now, the CTIA says enough is enough. It says all phones must have 3.5mm headphone jacks and microUSB charging/data ports by 2012.

- AT&T Says No Tethering For iPhone. Yet
Posted By Eric Zeman
In the wake of this week's surprise announcement from AT&T that it would allow VoIP services to use its 3G network, some had hoped that meant tethering for the iPhone was soon to become reality. Not so fast. AT&T says it is still fine-tuning its network.

- Palm WebOS Gets More Distribution
Posted By Ed Hansberry
The new mobile platform by Palm, WebOS, gets additional distribution in Spain. Telefonica will be picking the device up. It looks like Palm has ordered over 700,000 Pixies too.

- Dell Finally (FINALLY!!!) Bringing Dellophone To AT&T
Posted By Eric Zeman
Wow. WOW. A rumor nearly three years in the making has finally been confirmed today. Dell, PC maker, is bringing a smartphone to the U.S., and it will run Android.

- Samsung Bringing Android Moment To Sprint
Posted By Marin Perez
The avalanche of Android devices continues, as Samsung just announced its first U.S. smartphone utilizing the Google-backed operating system. The Moment smartphone looks like it will also give Android the proper hardware it requires to run well, as it will come with a nice 800-MHz processor.

- Not All Windows Phones Can Upgrade To 6.5
Posted By Eric Zeman
Microsoft recently trotted out the most recent edition of Windows Mobile and with it a bevy of new devices. If upgrading your hardware isn't a possibility right now, a few lucky smartphone owners out there will be able to upgrade their devices to Windows Phone 6.5. "Few" is the right word here, as most current WinMo phones can't make the upgrade.

- HTC, Fender Team Up To Create Every Geeky Guitarist's Dream Smartphone
Posted By Eric Zeman
One of the faults of the T-Mobile myTouch 3G is that it doesn't have a 3.5mm headset jack. Those looking to listen to music from their device need to use a clunky miniUSB-to-3.5mm adapter. Not any more. A unique partnership with luthier Fender adds a 3.5mm headset jack to the Google phone.
