- Apple v. Google: The Battle Is Fully Joined
Posted By Eric Zeman
After taking some time to digest the massive 20-patent lawsuit filed against it by Apple on March 2, HTC (and partner Google) have responded. Their take? HTC says it has plenty of its own patents and isn't infringing on Apple's.

- Google Experiments With Gesture-Based Search On Android
Posted By Eric Zeman
Imagine being able to find something on your smartphone just by drawing the letter "B" on the screen. Google hopes you'll do just that with its new Gesture Search application for Android handsets, which lets users search for items by drawing gestures on the display.

- AT&T Talks Of Usage Based Data Charges
Posted By Ed Hansberry
AT&T's CEO Randall Stephenson said in an analyst conference on Tuesday that he thought the wireless in industry is headed towards a usage based billing system where those consuming more data will have higher bills than those using less data. Time to say goodbye to the all-you-can-eat data plans.

- BlackBerry Slider Leaks, Mirrors Break Everywhere
Posted By Eric Zeman
Tech spies have unearthed pictures of a purported BlackBerry slider smartphone. The device, which bears a passing resemblance in form to the Palm Pre, has a touch screen and slides up to reveal a full, physical keyboard. Too bad it's so ugly.

- Gesture Controls Rumored For Next iPhone
Posted By Ed Hansberry
The latest rumors on the next iPhone release say the mobile platform will get gesture-based technology. As far as phones go, Apple pretty much invented flick-based technology where your finger controls the contents of the screen, replacing the stylus that came about over a decade earlier. Now they may take it to the next level with gestures.

- AT&T: Most iPad Users Will Skip 3G Version
Posted By Eric Zeman
AT&T CEO Randall Stephenson recently indicated that he believes most adopters of Apple's iPad will choose the Wi-Fi-only version rather than spring for an additional monthly subscription. You don't say.

- Motorola Backflip: First Google Phone With No Google
Posted By Eric Zeman
AT&T and Motorola have teamed up to offer what is AT&T's first Android handset, the Backflip. Despite the device's many strengths, there's a major weakness that seriously compromises the phone: It doesn't have Google Search.
