As with all mobile based products, with popularity comes development, and today proves just how popular the iPad really is: it has over 100,000 apps available for download in the App Store - not too shappy for a tablet only a year and change old. When the iPad launched back in April of 2010, [...]

This is a bit of a surprise! IntoMobile is reporting that Telus’ Milestone has been updated, but the software version is 2.1 still. Don’t expect Froyo anytime soon, then. The updates include: Alarm Improvements Music Player Functionality Audio Quality Enhancement PIN Lock Improvements Proximity Mode Enhancement “My Location” Improvements Check out the update at Motorola’s [...]

Uh-oh. Here comes the cavalry. According to a leaked doc from the Droid-Life forums, the first and perhaps only moddable Motorola Verizon handset is going bye-bye. If that is true, and as a result the phone is discontinued to make way for the Droid 2, it is likely that the Droid will become somewhat of [...]

It may not be the mid-April date that Motorola had promised so long ago, but it’s better than nothing.
