That’s right! iPad and iPhone 4 will soon be able to run Android OS thanks to OpeniBoot, an open source implementation of iBoot for Apple devices. Currently it only works on iPhone 3G, 2G and 1st-gen iPod Touch, but now OpeniBoot developers are working on bringing the OS for other iDevices as well. Doesn’t it sound great? More »

From Ziggytek: Nokia and RIM can deny problems with their phones all that they want, but Apple’s press conference claims on Friday actually have merit. The so called “death grip” of an antenna on a smartphone can lead to significant signal loss on almost every phone. Watch these videos for proof. More »

When Samsung announced that its flagship Android smartphone, the Galaxy S, was arriving to every major American carrier, few were surprised at the unprecedented move. Most Android smartphones up until then had been relegated to one or two carriers. The Galaxy S is a smashing winner in homeland South Korea, selling over 300,000 units so far.

Before you read on about the HTC 1, let me preface this in saying that it is only a concept. Not a real phone. Sure, it looks pretty and is all kinds of fancy, but again — not a real phone.

Fring is an application that allows 3G and Wi-Fi video calling between iPhone 4 owners. Best of all, though, is that Fring is cross-platform and enables callers using Android, Symbian, or iPhone 4 to chat together. More »
