Last time we wrote about Notifo, we called it a "simple mobile notifications platform for anything" -- and really, that's probably the best way to describe it. Take your iPhone, install the Notifo app, hook it up to your favorite services (like Twitt...

Verizon announced today that they are now offering Unlimited and 25MB 3G data plans for their pre-paid users. The pricing seems reasonable as well — at least on the unlimited plan, which comes in at at $30. At $10 a month, the 25MB plan is a bi...

Texting has never been so much fun, thanks to the high-speed magic of the keyboard that could: Swype. But I know there are a lot of sad pandas out there who want to Swype, but just can't because they own a Nokia.
Well, you can turn that frown upside...

T-mobile have now confirmed, via their Scoop page, that the upcoming T-mobile G2 will rock an 800MHz Scorpion processor (as part of the new MSM7x30 Snapdragon chipset), run the Android hotness that is Froyo (sans Sense, as previously thought), and wi...

According to a post at the Windows Phone 7 blog, Microsoft’s latest operating system is now fully cooked and ready to consume. They’ve shipped off the masters to manufacturers. The die is cast. And now they can start work on changing the...

Not a lot to say here. The T-Mobile G2 (by HTC and Google… it’s a collaborative thing, you know), which we just saw official pictures of earlier this week, has had its price leaked: $199.99 with a new contract and $499.99 raw. What don...

Just last week, a couple of much-trusted birdies popped into the MobileCrunch office, claiming to have some details on SkyFire (a Flash-friendly mobile browser already available on a number of smartphone platforms) and its impending iPhone release. &...

It seems like just yesterday, we were fighting our way through traffic on the way to Apple's iPhone 4 antenna press conference. Today, we're joining Apple for something a bit less out-of-the-blue: their annual September product announcement in San Fr...

Now I know that the Froyo update for the Incredible was released on the 27th of this month, but that was just one of those limited-release roll-outs used to weed out any major faux pas before making it available to the great unwashed. If you weren...

The G2, sequel to the late, lamented G1, has been leaking all over the place. This latest, caught by CellPhone Signal, has what appear to be the official pictures for T-Mobile’s site, and though they don’t really reveal anything new, they...

Slow and steady wins the race, right? Wrong. Not in the mobile world. In the mobile world, where next month's software patch is all the rage before it's even announced, slow and steady gets you tromped all over. Alas, until HP/Palm really get into th...

Don't get your hopes up too high, Android fans. Contrary to what the watermarks over there might imply, that's no Android phone. It's the Windows Phone 7-powered LG E900 -- the very same one that Microsoft self-"leaked" last week.
This time, though...

Oh, you thought we were lying about the Samsung Epic 4G launching on August 31st? One of these days, friend, you're going to realize we'd never lie to you. Because we love you.

I’m still not entirely sold on Samsung’s Bada operating system — but if Bada gets your boat a’rockin, more power to you. Just yesterday, ol’ Sammy announced their third (or is that fourth? We’ve lost count.) Bada p...

With the Samsung Epic 4G launching very soon, here’s an interesting alternative view of the device. If you dig around enough on the FCC website, you’ll be able to find nude pictures of almost every phone. Sometimes they are barely legal s...

An extremely blurry picture of a Droid-eyed slider made the rounds a month or so back — so blurry, in fact, that I’m pretty sure they added blur in Photoshop. Well, some in-focus shots of the device have surfaced, and while it doesn’...

The Droid X’s vaunted HDMI out seems to be of extremely limited utility at the moment, as a Motorola developer has said that it is only ever active within the Gallery application on the phone — essentially limiting it to media recorded on...

Good news for Samsung; their new Galaxy phone has hit 1 million sold after just 45 days of being on the market. That’s a pretty impressive number for a phone that doesn’t come from Apple. Electronista reports that Samsung considers the ph...

Looks like RIM has dodged a bullet in India, at least for the time being. The BlackBerry maker has provided the Indian government with “proposals for local security agencies to monitor BlackBerry service” so that, when necessary, the Indian gover...
