Google Blasts Apple Over iPhone Ad Changes

Google blasted Apple's new rules for its iPhone and iPad operating system, saying the changes would prohibit application developers from using Google's advertising technology on the devices.

Senh: Whoah, I didn't know you can do that. Isn't this very clearly anti-competition - demanding that developers can only use their ad network, and no one elses? Fun times ahead his Apple vs. Google boxing match.

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.

HTC Countersues Apple

HTC, the maker of several phones that run on Google's Android platform, has sued Apple for patent infringement, in response to a suit that the iPhone maker filed against HTC weeks ago.
