by Jaime Rivera | April 16, 2013 5:10 PMSo where were you back in April 16th 2008? Do you remember what device you were using, or what device you were interested in owning? For many industries, five years aren't a big deal. Carmakers for example rarely ever change their designs until after six or seven years, but again that's a different industry. Smartphones are a very different animal. Some assume that the reason why mobile phones evolve so fast is because it's much cheaper to develop new technologies for them than say a new car, and that's not necessarily the case. Apple invested a rough $150 million just to design the ...

by Jaime Rivera | April 7, 2013 9:34 PMThe BlackBerry Z10 is not only the company's boldest move since the dawn of push email, but also one of the better devices of 2013. It would be one of the best if the platform was a little more mature, but still, we'd call this one of the best re-inventions to come to mobile in the last decade, at times when almost every other company that tried to do it is no longer existent. New leaked photos now show that aside from the leaked roadmap that we saw a couple of days ago, the existing BlackBerry Z10 is also getting more color options as well, or at least, it seems so. The reason why we're ...

by Jaime Rivera | April 7, 2013 5:25 PMIt's been already a couple of weeks since the launch of both the Sony Xperia Z and Xperia ZL at CES in Las Vegas, and still no US carriers have confirmed their adoption of either. Kind of ironic if you consider the fact that Sony chose the US to launch their new handsets and not MWC in Barcelona as everybody else does. Other than on AT&T, it's always hard to see a Sony handset reach US shores, but leaked photos could prove a complete change in the way Sony does business in the US. These photos are of a Sony Xperia Z with T-Mobile branding at the bottom, which could mean that you might ...

by Jaime Rivera | April 7, 2013 5:18 PMGoogle isn't that big on leaks, but with Google I/O a solid month away, rumors are part of what we'll see and hear for the next days to come. It's hard to give you a solid idea on what to expect, but the two rumors that have sounded the most on the web are the Google Play redesign for Android, and the Babel unified chat service. As opposed to Apple's approach where you have different stores for everything, the leaks of the Google Play Store version 4.0 seem to retain their philosophy of having one store to serve everything, which is definitely how things should be. Now, aside from looks, ...

by Jaime Rivera | April 6, 2013 4:25 AMAfter the success of the Nokia Lumia 920 for AT&T, the web has been packed with rumors of a counterpart to be released on the Verizon network and dubbed the Nokia Lumia 928. Some rumored it being made of aluminum as part of Nokia's project Catwalk, but as the leaked images that we found today show, it seems that aluminum and Lumia won't marry just yet. The leaked photos show a device made of polycarbonate, and in an interesting twist, it looks nothing like the Nokia Lumia 920 aesthetically. They are both reported to have identical specs, but this Lumia 928 packs a design that resembles ...

We end today's show talking about HTC, first because of their pre-orders on AT&T and Sprint, and second because their Developer Edition is now ...
