Jobs headlines Apple event, new iPhone in the wings

Apple Inc is widely expected to unveil its latest iPhone on Monday, as the company aims to stay a step ahead of rivals in an increasingly competitive smartphone market.

New Apple iPhone on tap but may fail to dazzle

Apple Inc's next-generation iPhone, which CEO Steve Jobs is widely expected to unveil on Monday, will have to really set new standards in multimedia content and function to wow Wall Street and consumers.

AT&T caps phone data usage with new wireless plans

In time for the widely expected launch of a new iPhone model, carrier AT&T Inc. is pulling in the reins on data usage by its customers with smart phones and iPads....

Senh: I'm glad I'm not on AT&T. Although I think it's correct in assuming that 98% of the people will be able to get by with just a 2BG plan. I use my phone to update Wopular throughout the day - mostly mornings and nights. Under the $25, 2GB plan, I can view anywhere from 100-500 pages per day if each webpage averages about 100-500K. I'm using round numbers. That's plenty. Even a power user like me doesn't view that many pages per day. If you watch a lot of streaming video on YouTube, then you're screwed. 2GB would give you a max of about 2 movies, assuming each movie is about 1 hr. 30 min. I guess now you can't just hand over your phone to your kids and let them watch video. With the iPad and HD2 or Evo being advertised as multimedia devices, I don't think users would be happy with a limited data plan.

Opera Mini a Hit on the iPhone

Since its release last month, Opera Mini for the iPhone has been used by more than 2.6 million users and is now the third most popular Opera Mini device worldwide.

Flash 10.1 for Android beta unveiled: Hulu a no-show, Froyo

What was once just one echelon above a myth is now finally coming to fruition. Adobe is pushing out a beta of its Flash 10.1

Senh: Take that Apple. Pretty soon the iPhone's lack of support for Flash will be one of its drawbacks. Love it or hate it, Flash is all over the web. Not supporting it is not supporting the full web, and forcing everyone to redesign their sites just so it'll look right for the iPhone and iPad.

Google beats Microsoft in smartphones, catching Apple

Google's Android mobile phone system is building momentum, beating Microsoft in the last quarter and challenging Apple as the number of new models with software and compatible applications grow.

Senh: Android's catching up because it seems like very other week, there's a new Android phone being launched. There's only one iPhone.

The world of mobile augmented reality is on the verge of making the transition from tech-geek toy to genuine travel tool, giving travelers to unfamiliar cities the power of a local.

Should You Buy the EVO? Pros and Cons of the Next Big Android Phone

Forget the Nexus One, Google's failed attempt at marketing its own "iPhone killer" via the web - the next big "Google Phone" is definitely going to be HTC's EVO, the first 4G Android smartphone to hit the U.S.

Arriving June 4th on Sprint, the EVO comes with a loaded spec sheet that includes everything you could possibly want in a smartphone and then some: 4G, a built-in mobile hotspot, dual cameras, HDMI output, FM tuner and more.

Google stops selling Nexus online

HTC EVO 4G $200, On Sale June 4th

Sprint's first 4G smartphone, the EVO 4G, will go on sale on June 4th for $200 after a mail-in rebate (the full price is $450, but if you grab one from Best Buy, you'll get the discount applied when you buy). The Android-powered WiMAX ...

Senh: Looks just like the HD2, except with a better camera and operating system (Android). The only negative is that Sprint will be charging a monthly fee for tethering or using your device as a wifi hotspot, which you can currently get for FREE on Windows Mobile 6.5. If you think you're gonna be using this feature often, then I would stick with the HD2. Although tethering/wifi-hotspot is nice, I find that I actually don't use it much. Most of the time, I only use it as a backup in case my internet access goes down.
