T-Mobile Nokia Lumia 810 is a solid competitor to the HTC 8X

I have been using the Nokia Lumia 920 and HTC Windows Phone 8X for the last couple of weeks and even though my head tells me the 920 is best I keep going back to the 8X. T-Mobile customers will soon get to choose between the HTC 8X or Nokia Lumia 810 (the Lumia 920 is an AT&T exclusive) and after using the 810 for the past several days it is not as clear of a choice as I once thought it would be. The 8X is definitely positioned at the...

Angry Birds Creator Has First Original Idea

Until last Thursday, I had no faith in Rovio Entertainment, the Finnish developer behind Angry Birds. As the addictive mobile game continued to dominate the world’s mobile devices (it has been downloaded one billion times as of May) and Rovio prepared for a possible multi-billion-dollar valuation, I sat back with a smug look on my face and predicted disaster, assuming that the studio was a one-hit wonder. In the three years since Rovio’s...

Facebook to Advertisers: Users Don’t Have to Click for It to Pay Off

“It is the delivery of the marketing message to the right consumer, not the click, that creates real value for brand advertisers.” And with that, Facebook has a new strategy when it comes to convincing marketers that their ad dollars are well spent on the network.

Why Facebook Just Opened an Online Store

Citing its unique ability to recommend products, Facebook opened an online gift store. The move edges the social network onto the turf of e-commerce king Amazon, but at an opportune time: Amazon is busy making movies, computer hardware, cloud computing services, and entering other markets far afield from its core business of selling physical goods. Not that Facebook is trying to usurp Amazon just yet. The launch of Facebook Gifts is modest:...

No iOS 6 for my original iPad? Now, I'm an Angry Bird.

Sorry, iPad 1, you're too old for iOS 6! To say that I'm unhappy with Apple about the fact that I can't install iOS 6 on my iPad 1, is an understatement.

I'm an Angry Bird who wants to have myself flung at the fortified pigs who made this very, very bad decision. You...
