      To protect my beloved LG Dare, I purchased a silicon case, very similar to the one shown above. The only major difference between my case, and the one shown, is my particular case has a silicon layer covering the front hard buttons.  I purchased this case from my local VZW store, for a hefty price of $22. Although expensive, the case does a fine job of keeping my Dare safe from bumps and drops. It was very easy to slip my Dare into, and it adds some extra grip to prevent a potentialy "deadly" drop.  I have a few quirks with this case. At $22, it was not cheap. For a case of this quality, I expected a cheaper price tag. Another peeve I have with this product is the silicon has a tendency to "grab" onto your pants, making it difficult to pull out o...

  As we get ever closer to the launch of Windows Phone 7 we see more rumours of handsets, videos of them in action, reports of gaming functionality and so on. What we do not get to see a lot of though is the nuts and bolts of the OS itself and how the user will actually, well use the system. Step forth Pocket Now with a video of the SMS functionality in Windows Phone 7.The video covers everything from receiving texts whilst the screen is off to receiving them whilst it is on to showing off the threaded messaging feature. It might just be our opinion, but Windows Phone 7 is looking pretty damned nice when it comes to SMS. Its a very clean interface that looks pretty slick and it even manages to make the iOS SMS system look a little out of touch. Enough words though, check out the vi... Read more

Apple. for all their PR wizardry, are not known for always sticking entirely to whats true. More correctly they are known for bending facts a little to fit their view of events. The latest such incident came during Apples media event just the other day when Steve Jobs announced that Apple was activating 230,000 devices a day. The reason this is important is because Google had recently announced they were activating 200,000 devices a day.However, Steve Jobs was not content with saying that Google were behind Apple in activations, no he put a swift boot in by saying he did not believe Google numbers in the first place."We think ome of our friends are counting upgrades in their numbers ... we think we are ahead of everyone"Google was quick to issue a response to attempt to nullify Apples re...

The Taiwanese pr... Read more

The star, again, is a button. Not a big red one, but a tiny one on a cellphone, sporting the Windows flag logo.   Read rest of the story from nytimes.com... Read more
