It’s that time of year when the hot stove league gives way to spring training, and people start talking less about things like El Hombre’s move to LA and more about batting averages and home runs. Thus, MLB has unleashed the MLB At Bat 2012 app to keep you up to date on your favorite [...]

SwiftKey is responsible for as many saved typing hours, as it is crushing affirmations of just how predictable we really are. A fact that can now be drilled home by infinitely more devices, thanks to a new SDK for OEMs. Developers for a variety of platforms and programming languages (including C++, iOS and JVM) can [...]

Sure, the FCC didn’t get to tear apart the delectable white Lumia 900 we’re oh-so-smitten with, but given the cadaver activities undertaken upon a smartphone that hasn’t yet gone on sale, beggars can’t be choosers. Inside the filing you’ll find a full manual and a bevy of internal shots revealing what makes Nokia’s flagship Windows [...]

Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Finland and (the distinctly non-Scandinavian) Spain will get free, unlimited access to a wide library of movies and TV from April. Windows Phone users will also be able to [...]

Really, Samsung? The Ace 2, Mini 2, S Advance and now, the Ace Plus? It’s a wonder anyone at the company can still keep track. Unfortunately, this particular Android offshoot is a bit of a stinker, saddled with a pitiful 3.65-inch 480 x 320 display that does the opposite of the usual, saturated OLED-impress, offering [...]

It’s getting so you need a map to traverse Samsung’s mobile Galaxy, but that’s not stopping the outfit from cranking out handsets — no matter how minuscule the tweaks. Announced back in January, the Galaxy S Advance falls solidly on the middle of the OEM’s consumer scale, delivering a speedy 1GHz dual-core experience on a [...]

Crafted from 1,000 (or 3,000, depending on who you talk to) smartphones, Huawei’s symybol for this year’s MWC proudly stands in squarely in the middle of the mobile madness. However, the chinese handset manufacturer still remains a bit of a dark horse in this year’s selection of OEM fillies. Visualized: Huawei crafts smartphone pegasus, makes [...]

That adage of “less is more” definitely doesn’t apply to retailer return policies, so we have no complaints here. Best Buy is reportedly going to offer a more lenient 30-day window for device returns, up from the company’s current 14-day policy. Naturally, this also covers price matches, and applies to all products, including those from [...]
