Notable is the 3.2-inch 720 x 480 VGA TOUCH screen. yes, this baby also plays 30fps movie files and has a 3 ...

Merlin Mann: Friends, my patience with organizations that feel you should have to email them in order to not have your private information abused has passed the breaking point. If Loopt chooses not to see this nonsense as an invasive and potentially costly breach of many peoples’ privacy, then I pity the actual Loopt users who agreed to let these people publicly announce where they are all the time. Suddenly this goes from “potentially kinda ...

Geoff Litwack: So last year I read Guy Kawasaki’s The Art of the Start, inspiring, then I started reading his blog, and then he published “By the Numbers: How I built a Web 2.0, User-Generated Content, Citizen Journalism, Long-Tail, Social Media Site for $12,107.09” and I was like whoa, that is useful information. But it turns out that if you do your own development work, you can launch an iPhone app for even less. Here’s ...

Yes, you can type on the SureType keyboard with the phone in upright or portrait mode. It’s amazing! The BlackBerry Thunder’s keyboard also uses ...

In part one of BBtv's multi-part exploration of Tcho, we begin in the lab, and learn about the origins of chocolate: it's a weird looking fruit with biological roots in faraway tropical lands.
