- Apple Tablet To Be An 'iPhone On Steroids'?
Posted By Eric Zeman
According to everyone's favorite inside-information-getter, The Boy Genius says an Apple insider calls the unannounced and unconfirmed tablet "an iPhone on steroids." Just what does that mean?

- Google Revamps BlackBerry Mobile App
Posted By Eric Zeman
Today Google announced a new version of the Google Mobile Application for BlackBerries. Why upgrade? Well, the new version can now search both the device and the network for wayward email messages and contact information.

- iPhone 2010 To Have Touch-Sensitive Casing
Posted By Eric Zeman
Goldman Sachs believes the next-generation iPhone will pack a 5 megapixel camera and a touch-sensitive casing, similar to Apple's Magic Mouse. It will begin its life in manufacturing facilities some time in April, in time to hit store shelves by June.

- Google Nexus Two Aimed At Enterprise
Posted By Ed Hansberry
That's right, I said Nexus Two. Just days after Google's own phone running Android, dubbed the Nexus One, Google has already mentioned another device that will be aimed at the enterprise rather than the consumer. No name was given to this device, so it could be Nexus Two or something else entirely. Whatever it is called, it is on its way.

- Google Nexus One Sales Off To Slow Start
Posted By Eric Zeman
According to market data from Flurry, the Google Nexus One has sold a paltry 20,000 units in its first week. Compare that to the iPhone 3GS' first week, during which it sold more than one million units. Crow pie, anyone?

- Yet More Charges From Your Carrier
Posted By Ed Hansberry
A few days ago I told you about a new charge that Sprint is levying on some of their users. At least that charge is from Sprint and they have clear guidelines as to when the fee is applicable. It seems that T-Mobile is allowing third parties to charge your account, and since doesn't originate from T-Mobile, they aren't terribly interested in removing the fee according to one customer.

- Mobile Round-Up: Android Everywhere Edition
Posted By Eric Zeman
Google's Android mobile operating system has been in the news constantly the last few weeks. Here are a few more stories to add to the pile, including a security flaw for the Droid, an update for the Eris, and the arrival of the Android 2.1 SDK.

- 'iPhone 4G' Landing Worldwide In June?
Posted By Eric Zeman
According to a report from The Korea Times, Apple is set to introduce the "iPhone 4G" no later than April, with the device hitting store shelves around the globe by June. The report includes some interesting specs on the unannounced product. Let's take a look.
