    Social media, in its many forms, has seriously broken down some of the walls between companies and their user bases. In the past, if you had problems with your Samsung phone, you'd be taking things up one-on-one with a customer service rep. Today, users post their complaints on Facebook or Twitter for all to see, and to an extent, taking these private issues public has ...

    Plenty of us use the WiFi hotspot capabilities of our smartphones on a daily basis, helping us get online with laptops, gaming systems, or other devices without their own cellular radios. Like setting up any WiFi network, part of using hotspots involves setting up a password, keeping your little impromptu network secure. Unfortunately, it seems that the default ...

    Just under a week ago, Nokia started sending out invitations to a July 11 New York event. While they didn't out and directly reveal what the company intended to have on its agenda, the "Zoom Reinvented" language they used sure had us thinking about the PureView EOS, which like the 808 before it, would be able to use its excess of megapixels as a workable digital zoom. ...

    It's been six years since the popularization of the touchscreen keyboard began in earnest, an eternity in the fast-paced world of mobile technology. But in contrast to -and maybe in defiance of- that breakneck pace, many less-cutting-edge consumers still cling to the more tactile artifacts of yesteryear. Even in 2013, these folks will settle for nothing less than a ...

    Back in April, news of an upcoming Android from an unusual OEM caught our eye, with a leak showing a ruggedized handset with a hardware QWERTY keyboard from NEC. The so-called NEC Terrain was apparently warming up for a launch with AT&T, and while we were at a loss for any specific details on the phone's hardware (besides what we could pick up from the pictures), ...

    We're taking a quick break from the string of leaked component shots that has dominated iPhone 5S news as of late, turning our attention instead to a line rendering that claims to reveal not just the overall look and size of the iPhone 5S, but also of the lower-cost iPhone we've heard rumored, as well. A manufacturer of iOS device cases provided the image, so realize ...

    We may have doubts when it comes to the legitimacy of the recent set of pictures attempting to depict a metal-framed Nokia EOS, but the lion's share of leaked EOS imagery, that showing a more typical polycarbonate construction, has been seeming very much real. As we count the days until Nokia's July 11 event, when we're hoping to finally see this smartphone announced, ...

    I've been an advocate of using Google Wallet since I've been able to run the app on my smartphone. Walking into the local convenience store, phone in hand, and paying for my Monster Energy Drink by tapping my phone to their reader was, for lack of another phrase, science-fiction realized! The cashier smiled and chuckled a little -- a guy trying to use his phone to ...

    Samsung is great at many things: pushing boundaries, providing a portfolio of mobile devices in practically every size imaginable, and applying the same design language across the entire portfolio. The Galaxy Mega 6.3 is a perfect example of that. Many said the original Galaxy Note, with a 5.3-inch display, was entirely too large. In fact, 4.3-inch smartphones were ...

    I didn't think much of it last year when HTC released the Butterfly alongside the Droid DNA, making up the manufacturer's first round of hardware featuring 1080p displays. After all, Verizon can be a serious prima donna, and if it had its way, it would probably only carry exclusive phones you couldn't get with any other carrier. Anyway, my interest was already turning ...

    Late yesterday afternoon, a long-dormant Twitter account went active. After no signs of life since last fall fall 2011, Verizon's DroidLanding account suddenly sprung back into action. It didn't take long before the account had tweeted a link to a new Verizon video, teasing an augmented reality game that appears to put users in charge of virtual mechs. Just what is ...

    The big news that everyone is talking about from last week is the Xbox One and Playstation 4 announcements.  Both are still being considered gaming consoles and are being compared in that manner, but I think the Xbox One is really supposed to be something different… kind of like a smartphone. 10 years ago, many of us were dreaming about a smartphone that combined ...

    The HTC Butterfly, or Verizon Droid DNA was always a device that we loved, but wished we could love more. Some say that it's due to how close it was launched to the HTC One, and others really didn't enjoy how it performed while being tested. Whatever the case may be, it was clear that the Butterfly always had a steep road to compete even against, and we've all been ...

    Those of us that have followed Apple for a while know that the company is about prototyping, or at least, that's how we know Jony Ive likes to operate. They rarely ever discard an idea until they test it and get a feel for it, even if most of these ideas are not worth implementation. In the case of iOS 7, given the dramatic changes to the look and feel of the operating ...

    Out of all the things that were announced at WWDC 2013, we'll admit that even the things that weren't shown or announced made some headlines. One of these was the fact that we were never able to see how iOS 7 look son the iPad, and that's just to prove how early the development stage Apple's new mobile operating system is. Apple did promise to launch the final version ...
