Wednesday, June 18, 2008
On June 20th Sprint is set to announce the iPhone’s closest competitor: The Samsung Instinct.

RemoteNote is PC software that allows you to edit and work with the Notes stored directly on your iPhone using a web-admin interface on your PC.

Monday, May 12, 2008
We covered the “True Cost of SMS” a while ago, but data is surfacing again at the absolutely ridiculous rates that SMS demand.

Tuesday, March 11, 2008
I recently picked up the Sony DR-BT21G/B Bluetooth Stereo Headset. My intentions were to use it as hands free for my cell and also to listen to music from my cell.
