Palm Centro is reported to have surpassed the 2 million sold units barrier. How is that compared to Apple’s iPhone sales? Who is going to win an iPhone vs Palm competition?

Provided Palm will continue to update their OS and launch better Centros, they are likely to continue to sell lots of handsets too. Maybe not as many as Apple which appears to learn more and more things about the mobile business and even reinvent it in some cases.

AdMob statistics shows that more mobile ads are served to Palm devices than iPhones, whether we are talking worldwide or USA. Of course Palm has been selling phones for far longer than Apple has but the battle is about to begin.

Looking at both phones, the iPhone seems to have a little advantage at this time, with all the buzz going around it. Palm Centro is still going to be a worthy adversary and its fans will be waiting for lots of upgrades, including touchscreens, but not only.

So congrats to Palm for now, but we’re expecting more!

LG Electronics and Dolby Laboratories, Inc announced that LG will be the first cell phone manufacturer to include Dolby Mobile into future handsets. Are we to understand that LG is preparing for a whole new multimedia and music cell phone lines in the near future? (more…)

Motorola is still selling phones, despite popular belief. They are reorganizing their departments in a desperate hope to get things going the way they want to, but they are also selling various models of phones. Such a phone is the U9 which will be available unlocked from their online store (yes they do still have an online store).

Here’s another bad news for Sprint. After selling a large amount of their towers last week in order to pay out some of their already standing balance, Sprint receives one more bad news. In a Californian state court it has been ruled that Sprint will have to pay about $73 million in refunds to customers for charging early termination fees improperly.

While we got a chance to talk about Agent 18’s 3G iPhone cases yesterday, we are going to take a look at iLuv’s cases for the same phone. They are available starting today in their online store and they will be price from $12.99 to $24.99.

Let’s tale a look at each of them! (more…)

While we’re waiting for Rogers to finally start selling RIM’s Bold, we’re told that Telstra is going to be the carrier to bring the Bold to Australians. Don’t be jumping in the air just yet as this BlackBerry will be available only in late September.

There’s even better news for Telstra business customers. They will be able to get a Bold for free if they choose to. Starting today any business customer can register for a Telstra BlackBerry Bold online or by dialing 1800BUSINESS.

It appears Apple is taking more and more steps to improve our iPhone buying experience. Apple stores will open at 8AM, two hours earlier than regular. They are also adding staff to diminish wait times. That’s all great Apple, but say I come in the store to ask about the new MacBook Touch. Can I do that from 8AM or would I be required to wait until after 10AM?

This isn’t a next generation Q1 Ultra here but we do have two new UMPC versions from Samsung. Released today, the Q1U-CMXP has an HSDPA 3G integrated cellular modem , and the Q1UP-V which is an Ultra Premium Q1 with preinstalled Vista Business. I understand the need for new. I don’t understand the need for Vista.

Motorola isn’t doing that good lately is it? You know it, we know it, and most importantly, they know it. And what better way to have a fresher (re)start than splitting into particular pieces, meant to better work with each other? Oh wait, didn’t they do that already? Yes they did! About four months ago, Motorola split in two: home and networks division.

Little did I know today, when I started talking about advertising and publicity in the mobile world, that I’ll continue to do that. If we checked out earlier Verizon’s way of doing advertising, it’s turn for Nokia now. And what a site we we got immersed in!

Sprint isn’t doing that good right now. Sure they have released the Instinct and they are playing with their awaited WiMAX XOHM service. But in the same time they have sold a large number of their towers as they appear to desperately need money to pay off debts.

So you’re not looking for a cell phone are you? What about a regular, old fashioned phone for your home? What about a modern regular phone? The Iocell Contents Phone is exactly that. But besides regular phone calls it knows some neat tricks.

Inside the Iocell Phone there’s a hard drive which will store music, record conversations and play music in the background of your calls. Everything can be taken to your PC and stored over there if needed. Bad news for the stalker that was calling you all the time. Now you’ll be able to record him while making him listen to the Titanic soundtrack.

Like any other company, Palm had to file their annual 10-K report. Nothing spectacular about that. What was surprising is that in it, people discovered three companies that have been acquired by Palm last year. No names have been disclosed so far but here’s what we know about the companies.
