The leadership over at Google have decided to hire James Gosling, whom many regard as the father of Java since it was he who invented the Java programming language back in the days when he was under the employment of Sun Microsystems. Of course, this is all very preliminary at the moment, and nobody outside [...]

So to kick off this week, we’re talking about the Samsung Gravity 2, and though it shows pretty well that Samsung loves nothing quite so much as it loves bizarre nicknames for their phones, it also shows that they can put out a nice one too when they really get going with it. The Samsung [...]

Today we’ve got a new Motorola to look at, and there’s quite a bit to talk about here.  So I’m going to spare you unnecessary preamble and tuck right into the Motorola Debut.  The Debut isn’t a great phone, but it will offer more than enough of the basics to make it well worth looking [...]

I had never associated Samsung with good cell phones–usually I’d associated them with terrific home theater systems and televisions that looked and sounded great but controlled like bizarre puzzle boxes.  But I’m having to adjust that perception literally every day, and the Samsung M330 is one of those phones that’s making me do it.

Myriad has recently launched a tool named J2Android that will make an Android handset become much better, simply because it will support a lot of Java-Based applications that are available in the market. With that being said, the J2Android can convert MIDIet applications and via the virtual machine Dalvik it actually run the applications and [...]

The Chinese, ladies and gentlemen, are trying their level best to win the cell phone wars.  And though their efforts aren’t necessarily as sophisticated as, say, the iPhone or the Nexus One, what they DO bring forth is downright amazing.  And when the folks out at Chinavasion sent me a LevelUP Quad Band to review, [...]

All the way from China comes a cellphone like no other: it has above the average features, and a price below the normal. In other words, the T160i-WIFI is a cellphone that supports JAVA and TV, bluetooth, and best of all it has WiFi – all of this for $157. The list of good details [...]
