Nokia C6 will be sold in Canada by Fido for $275 sans contract
Fido is soon going to launch the Nokia C6. No, not that one, but its slightly older brother. To be absolutely accurate, we must say that we’re talking about the Nokia C6-00 here, and not the C6-01.

Asus Eee Pad Transformer now available in the UK for £379.99
The Asus Eee Pad Transformer is not your average, run-of-the-mill Android 3.0 Honeycomb tablet.

It’s interesting to see manufacturers try to differentiate their offerings in this space. First there was [...]

In 2010, for a couple of months or so the entire mobile-focused blogosphere was all abuzz about a mythical Project Emerald, a venture by T-Mobile USA that finally resulted in the T-Mobile myTouch 4G in the States.
