15 Nov 09 This PinPhone is No iPhone!
Before you go on and pass checking out the mobile device in the image above, this is not an iPhone. It carries the same looks and can deceive you in a sec, but it is really a PinPhone, another copycat to the famed Apple iPhone. It may cater to all the physical attributes of the iPhone but when it comes to accessing the iTune store, don’t bet on it. The PinPhone 3GS is living proof how the Chinese love to come out with their own imitation products and perhaps this gadget is meant to cater to people who can’t afford to get the authentic iPhone 3GS…for now of course.

21 Sep 09 MemoryBooster 3.0 for Blackberry Smartphones
Any mobile device is susceptible to any potential slowdown which could be attributed to a lot of different factors. The only problem is identifying the cause unless you can get your hands on a reliable software that can aid you in diagnosing the problem. And known that not all smartphone users are techie enough to figure out why their device would operate at a snail’s pace, here is one software made for Blackberry smartphone owners which should speed up their devices.
The MemoryBooster 3.0 has been rated by Fortune Magazine as one of the top apps for Blackberry Wireless handsets and aims to recover wasted memory which should be something common in today’s array of mobile devices. MemoryBooster can recover up to 15MB of memory per boost. So you can imagine the degree of aid that it can provide if this app is done regularly.

17 Sep 09 T-Mobile Tweets Blackberry Trade-in Deal
The opportunity to save on buying a new mobile device such as a Blackberry may be somewhat stalled at times. And one main reason seen for this is the price for getting a new one. But if the tweets made by T-Mobile is accurate enough, you may just get a big break. Apparently there are reports that T-Mobile will be giving consumers up to a $50 off if they trade-in their old “working” phones and get a brand new Blackberry Curve.
There seems to be some confusion on what actual phones are included in this promotion. In fact, it seems that the promotion only offers a Blackberry Curve 8520. That was until T-Mobile posted a lot of current curve models tied up with it. But one thing is for sure, you will get a $50 off. So if you are aching to get a new Blackberry, here is your chance so I suggest you grab it!

24 Jul 09 Hallmark Launches Mobile Greeting Service
Hallmark became popular for its greeting cards, much of which are still in use but have slowly gone passé. While we see a lot of their competitors turn to something similar, like e-cards and the like, Hallmark has adapted a new kind of technology in sending greetings to loved ones and friends. The new transition is the Hallmark Mobile Greeting Service which launched a couple of days ago.
For starters, the Hallmark Mobile Greetings will be made available to a handful of mobile phones in the market. But just like most apps, expect them to cater to most of the smartphones which can be sent from one mobile network to another.
The Hallmark Mobile Greetings can be downloaded to a cellphone for free from their site. Users can then send greetings to other mobile phones. In addition, consumers also can send greetings directly from mobile.hallmark.com for delivery to a mobile device.
Each Hallmark Mobile Greeting costs 99 cents. Fees are billed as part of monthly service-provider charges and the sender is only charged if the recipient opens the mobile greeting.
