From Htcyou: Android Central showed us the Motorola Devour’s box from its front. Today, the back cover has been exposed, and there is some uplifting news, as well as some disappointment. More »


From Htcyou: Finally, what all Apple iPhone users expect as a standard feature becomes available for the Nexus One. Google enabled its over-the-air multi-touch update for its smartphone today, along with a few fixes and a newer version of the indispensable Google Maps. More »


Let us play a game: every Tuesday, we scour allover for the strangest looking gadgets, and then you guess wildly what they are. Everyone agrees that cupcakes are delicious. Would you rather have the actual dessert or a pair of these things? More »


Sixteen year old Alexander Kendrick has invented a low frequency radio that will allow for digital communication up to 946 feet underground. In essence, this means that you can send and receive texts or calls while deep underground! Cool, huh? More »


Okay, so it looks like a piece of artwork, right? Wrong. Microsoft has developed a new kind of “bar code” that will be compatible with almost all camera phones.

From Ningin: I know many of you already do, but this February, we want more people to fall in love with us. Why wouldn’t you love us?

So we really want to make this February - especially this Valentine’s day - special for you so that you’ll always remember and cherish it. Life is so short. Let’s make the most of it together!

From Girlybubble: First Docomo released the Q-Pot Melting Chocolate phones and now they’ve teamed up with Seventeen Magazine (Japan) to release the “SH-05B” on Feb. 5. For a phone that comes in two shades of pink and endorsed by Michelle Pfeifer in Grease 2, they couldn’t come up with a more creative name?
