Skype has announced the latest version of its iPhone client today and with it comes a much-awaited feature, video calling.  Unlike FaceTime which limits video calling to other iOS devices, Skype now supports two-way Skype-to-Skype video calling and along with other iOS devices, users can now go face to face with Skype users on the desktop version.  The app works both on 3G and WiFi, and is completely free as always (data charges apply of

According to Paul over at Modaco via a tweet… “Desire Z / HD users, accepting the .72 OTA will prevent you rooting with VISIONary or other ‘rage’ exploits.” So guess what ladies and gents? No more universal rooting using the Rage or Visionary method (which used the rage method) after the next update for your HTC phone most likely. As you can tell by Paul’s tweet, the first phones to get this update are going

Now we know that the LG Star will be christened the Optimus 2X not only in Korea but also in Europe.  Coming to its release date, Slashphone did some digging and unearthed info that the lucky month is January 2011, and we can’t be more specific than that until LG opens up.  As for its specs, the Optimus 2X sits right there at the top with: Dual-core Nvidia Tegra2 processor 8-megapixel lens with 1080p HD

If you head over to HTC’s teaser website, you will find a mysterious device under a black cloak with a caption that says “The first to 4G, again.”  The device is most probably the Incredible HD for Verizon, considering the timed PR image leaks and this new website.  True to its claims on the site, the company was the first on 4G WiMax with the Sprint, was on the forefront for T-Mobile with the 4G-capable

We are in the age of the Gingerbread but for Milestone users, it is yet another period of wallowing in the ancient pits of Android 2.1 Eclair, thanks to Motorola’s hesitancy to push out the update already.  The company has recently made a Facebook post saying that they will “continue to work closely” on the 2.2 update which is now tentatively scheduled for a 2011 Q1 release.  As if this isn’t irksome enough, the company

If not for what he is holding up in his hands, you may never know that the guy in the picture is Jimmy Lin, a Taiwanese race car driver.  While Steve Jobs is busy building the iPad 2, Jimmy decided to reveal what Apple might be fabricating behind closed doors, the iPad mini.  The picture was posted by him on Sina, China’s answer to Twitter’s microblogging, boasting about his “new mini iPad.”  As for the

While many of you Android users may be wondering if your phone will ever see the Gingerbread on it, some folks have already got it up and running on a Nokia N900.  Not surprising, considering the smartphone has already dabbled with MeeGo and the previous Android version, Froyo 2.2, albeit an unstable one.  The port is a result NITDroid team’s hard work, primarily those of Alexey Rosylakov, and although there are still a lot of

We thought 2011 was gonna be a good year for the mobile tech, but this good, we never imagined.  Pantech’s Vegas Xpress has all the usual bells and whistles worthy of an Android 2.2 smartphone, like a 4-inch multitouch display of 800 x 480 resolution, 5-megapixel camera, 802.11n WiFi, and if we are not mistaken, GPS and the like crammed in.  But what takes the cake is the inclusion of DDR2 RAM to run the

The Verizon Pre 2 is yet to make an appearance after its official announcement but it seems like thing are moving much faster in Canada.  The Pre 2 is now available on Rogers and it goes for a cheap $99.  The two-year agreement remains of course but with its 1GHz processor and improved multitasking capability, you may not even notice that time go by.  Also onboard is a 5-megapixel camera and a multitouch glass display

So after a very long stint of refusing to make an Android app, LinkedIn finally gets at least a beta one together. LinkedIn is a “professional social network” in where users can meet other professionals, look for jobs, make business connections, etc. and one of the big reasons I rarely use it, is because it has no form of integration for Android. I have to remember to go log in on my computer and check

So after much debate and people constantly having to put 4G in quotation marks whenever it was used (otherwise a bombardment of comments would arise complaining that “4G doesn’t exist” or “[company] doesn’t have 4G, only my company does”), the ITU, or International Telecommunications Union, has declared that HSPA+, LTE, and WiMax are now to all be considered 4G technology. The ITU has spoken! Here’s is exactly what they had to say regarding the matter;
