So here's the deal for AT&T's CU720 Shine: AT&T looks to be preparing the anticipated slider (or, at least it was anticipated like a year ago) for a Black Friday launch. The silvery model will launch first, with black and red both planned for early '08. The Vu -- alias Prada, alias CU920 -- is still on track for an early '08.......

Several months and a few in the wild pics later, Verizon Wireless has gotten around to launching its latest Windows Mobile Professional device, the Samsung i760. Weighing in just under 5.3 ounces and measuring in at 2.28 x 4.49 x 0.77 inches, it's one of the more compact PDAs available for the carrier. The i760 is packed with features like a 2.8 inch touchscreen LCD, 128MB of RAM and 64 MB of ROM, an EV-DO radio (sorry, no Rev. A here), Bluetooth 2.0 and WiFi......

The whole Windows Mobile 6 upgrade issue for Samsung's BlackJack is a little murky at the moment seeing how the BlackJack2 just got announced (come on, you just know AT&T would love to use Windows Mobile 6 as a selling point on the new model), but we're cautiously encouraged here. The i600, the BlackJack's European cousin, has just been blessed with an official WM6 ROM -- which,....

And they just keep coming in. Remember when iFuntastic launched for the pre-v1.1.1 iPhone? Remember how easy it was to jailbreak and customize the iPhone’s UI? Well, good news, the latest hack/crack to return to the iPhone is iFuntastic 4.6.1. The iPhone hacking GUI brings custom ringtones, homescreen changer, custom system sounds, and point-and-click jailbreak back to the iPhone in the new iPhone v1.1.1-compatible iFuntastic 4.6.1.
Those of you that already took the v1.1.1-plunge will be glad to hear that the new iFuntastic 4.6.1 will even walk you......

Palm’s been falling behind on the innovation front that gave them the market edge all those years ago - there’s no denying that. But, things could be on the up and up for the laggard smartphone manufacturer. Palm has just announced that they have finally secured the $325 million deal from Elevation Partners (U2’s .......

Don’t jump for joy just yet. Apple has just launched the iPhone Dev Center as part of their Apple Developer Connection, but it isn’t some early iPhone SDK release. The new Apple iPhone Dev Center is concentrating on the iPhone web-app development environment for now.....

If you need a phone that can take a licking and keep on ticking (or calling, as the case may be), Psion Teklogix might have just what you need. The company is celebrating its big “40″ (that’s mid-life crisis territory in people years) with the launch of their new “iKon” smartphone......

What exactly is that round bubble above the dpad? Are the keys really that thin? My Sony Ericsson W880i was hell for the first 48 hours, then I got used to the keypad very fast. These keys look to have the same layout. Specs are still what we knew in....

'Round here, we think of a slider when you tell us so-and-so is launching the LG Shine, but Bell apparently has something a little different in mind. Canadians can now pick up the metal-clad Shine flip (again -- Bell's name, not ours) for a cool....

Whoa, a carrier slipping a deadline for a major new feature? How very unusual! AT&T is the unlucky subject of our wrath here on news that it has opted to move its MediaFLO-based mobile TV launch from the second half of '07 to the "very early part of 2008." The company's being a little shifty about the reasons for the move but....

We’ve already posted that RIM is reportedly working on the 9000/9xxx series of devices. Now, we have Boy Genius spotting that the BlackBerry maker secured all the appropriate domain. Apparently, they now own blackberry9110.com, blackberry9120.com, blackberry9130.com, blackberry9310.com, blackberry9320.com, and blackberry9330.com, meaning we could expect to see them releasing new devices at some....

Vlingo, the voice-powered interface technology we’ve wrote about before, is launching a program for developers to allow them to use Vlingo’s tools and APIs.
VlingoWith other active players in the speech-to-text field, the idea is obvious — to make mobile companies use Vlingo’s technology rather than some else’s. In addition, this is certainly one move that could help bringing the technology to the wider audience, and even produce new innovative services. That being said, I could easily imagine some mashup that would allow Facebook.......

Gmail’s finally answered the call of email geeks everywhere. After recently upping the capacity of their free mail service, Google has enabled IMAP Gmail support. What does an IMAP-enabled Gmail account mean? Well, Gmail users can keep their accounts sync’ed up across their desktop, laptop, mobile phone, or any other device that you use to access Gmail. Tired of having to mark emails as “read” on your laptop, only to have to mark them as “read” on your mobile phone? Gmail’s IMAP feature is the....

With the Palm Centro and the Palm Treo 500v already out and confirmed, we’re just waiting on the rumored Palm Treo 800w to show itself. What you see to the right is a mockup of what could be the successor to the venerable Palm Treo 7xx series Windows Mobile smartphones.
