Outlook.com app finally doesn’t look like complete crap

Posted: 16 Apr 2013 03:55 PM PDT

Microsoft’s Outlook/Hotmail app for Android has never been the prettiest sight to behold.

The [...]

Facebook Home’s launch wasn’t exactly met with open arms and applause by everyone in the United States, but many international users still wanted to see what the big fuss was about for themselves.

Posted: 16 Apr 2013 02:06 PM PDT

It wasn’t exactly a secret that Verizon would be in line for a Samsung Galaxy S4, but with the recent branding snafu the company had with the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 it’s always interesting to wonder what they might do different compared to other carriers.

In a time where companies are racing to bring out the biggest smartphones they can, Motorola is sitting back and taking a different approach. The company doesn’t believe in this whole phablet movement, as it will apparently stick to its guns in making a phone that has a size that’s “just right.” Those were the [...]

T-Mobile confirms April 24th launch date for HTC One on Twitter?

Posted: 16 Apr 2013 11:37 AM PDT

The latest rumored date for an HTC One on T-Mobile was April 24th, but without official word we were naturally reluctant to put 100% of our faith into that date.

But enough about my personal issues, Google has finally [...]
