It's become a trope in mobile tech: write an article about Nokia, and someone will leave a comment suggesting that all the beleaguered company needs to do to return to prominence is build an Android phone. Mark my words: it'll even happen on this article, despite the contravening headline. And, fanboys being fanboys, a flame war (or at least a small brush fire) will erupt. As Emperor Palpatine might say, "it is unavoidable." You don't know the power of the (nonexistent) Nokia Android phone. While I disagree with the premise that a Nokia-Droid would save the company, I understand its ...

With the major announcements behind us from Android- and Windows Phone-land, it's time for the rumor-mill to focus on Apple's upcoming devices, at least until the fall when we'll hear new rumors about Samsung, HTC, Nokia, and the others, as we get closer to IFA 2013. For now, the hear-say is mentioning the next Apple iPad. Your usual "sources with Taiwan's supply chain" have it on good authority that the next Apple iPad trial production will begin soon for the full-sized 9.7-inch slate. Volume production is claimed to start in July "with monthly shipments ramping up to 2-3 million units ...

Samsung Galaxy S 4 vs HTC One vs Apple iPhone 5 vs Nokia 808 PureView; that's the comparison we've been waiting to do ever since this year's flagship Android models came out. That also happens to be the camera comparison most requested by you. So, here it is! We've reviewed all of these phones and, at that time, we compared them against other competitors; this time it's them playing against each-other. While we know that the Apple iPhone 5 is the oldest amongst the best-sellers -- with a refresh due soon -- and the Nokia 808 PureView is more than a year old now, but still regarded by many ...

Watch today's Pocketnow Daily as we talk about the new BlackBerry Messenger to come in July and why tablets shouldn't be waiting for it. We later go through the leaks of the Nokia EOS, which is claimed that has already been spotted in the public. Then we go through the Samsung Galaxy S4 and how it's dwarfed the results of the Galaxy S III in these last couple of weeks. We later talk about the HTC One and how the company plans to increase production to meet demand. We end today's show talking about Apple and the possible delay of the iRadio music streaming service. All this and more after ...

It seems like any time we're talking about Intel and mobile chipsets, it begins with a story of huge missed opportunities. After all, Intel played a significant role in the Windows Mobile days, but sort of dropped off the radar when smartphones really started picking up steam, once the iPhone and Android arrived. Since then, Intel's tried to get its chips back into phones, but it's been a struggle. Intel CEO Paul Otellini just stepped down from his position, and in reflecting back on his career, expresses his regret that Intel missed out on getting one of its chips into the iPhone. ...

For all the talk about Apple's plans for its next iPhone (or series of iPhones), all the leaked component shots, and all the rampant speculation, there still really isn't much we actually know. For instance, while we've been discussing theories about next-gen iPhones, budget-priced iPhones, or maybe larger-screen iPhones, we've been guessing a lot when it comes to their names. For instance, we've called the next "regular" iPhone the 5S more than a few times, but when it comes down to it, that name is far from certain. In fact, there's still a chance that Apple might skip the "S" revision ...

Blackberry and HTC have a bit of a problem. Their problem is they are coming off of losing seasons and they're trying to get their fans back in the stands. Ok, yes I'm using a sports analogy here, bear with me. The problem is they're charging just as much for their seats as the third team in town – the one who has won the championship two years in a row. And they're both surprised when their beer sales are plummeting. In short, Blackberry and HTC pricing against Samsung and Apple is doomed to failure until they can reestablish their premium brands to go with their premium phones. A Tale ...

As we recently talked in our previous episode of Pocketnow Live, the iPad rules the world because of one simple fact in its favor - Timing. When Apple decided to bring it to the market, Tablet PCs were expensive, bulky, slow and simply not better than your typical laptop. Those who debate that pen-input made them better most likely just assumes it, and has clearly never used one. Steve Jobs was right when he said that competitors were flummoxed by the iPad because they were simply not ready to compete. The question left on the table if the conditions remain the same for Apple's future iPad ...
