Sprint abandons plans to sell the Google Nexus One
The effect is never as high as the mark-up. Despite an onslaught of hype and a seemingly unprecedented amount of targeted web promotion, the Nexus One smartphone from Google has done little, if anything, to give the iPhone a run for its money. Chief among its problems is that it’s currently relegated solely to T-Mobile. […]

Comments Off on Domestic Android sales surpass iPhone sales for first time during 1Q of 2010
For the first time, sales of Android based devices here in the US were greater than iPhone sales during a given quarter. According to data released earlier today by the NPD group, Android sales during the 1Q of 2010 represented 28% of all smartphone sales while iPhone sales represented 21%. Leading the pack, as usual, […]

Comments Off on Sprint ad uses iPhone to tout new 4G mobile hotspot [Video]
Well this sure is mighty interesting. In a new ad spot from Sprint touting its new 4G mobile hotspot, Sprint uses the iPhone as an example of a device you might want to hook up to their 4G network, which they promise will deliver browsing speeds 10x faster than AT&T’s 3G network. Curiously, one of […]

Comments Off on If the iPhone is the MJ of smartphones, then what does that make AT&T?
This weekend, Sprint CEO Dan Hesse raised some eyebrows when he called the iPhone the “Michael Jordan” of smartphones. Q: Is the Palm Pre making a dent into the iPhone market? A: Aaah… It’s-it’s doing well, but you can almost put the iPhone, to be fair, in a separate category. The Apple brand and that […]

Sunday, June 7, 2009
Okay, so I finally got my hands on a Pre today (courtesy of a friend who was able to lend it to me for about 30 minutes) and dare I say that I came away feeling underwhelmed. Now before anyone jumps up and says that I’m being biased, let me make clear that I’ve been […]

Friday, June 5, 2009
The Palm Pre hit store shelves today, or at least it did in theory. I checked out a Best Buy and a Sprint retail shop and the only sign that the Palm Pre even existed was a small poster at Sprint that said “Pre coming soon.” Regardless, reviews for the Pre have been overwhelmingly positive, […]

Friday, May 29, 2009
The good folks over at the Boy Genius Report got their hands on the Palm Pre and overall their take on the device is about what I expected – good, but not great. Specifically, they really liked the screen, which they described as “vibrant” and “rich”, but they felt that the keyboard left a lot […]

Wednesday, May 20, 2009
Sprint CEO Dan Hesse, who you might remember from those black and white Spring commercials, recently had this to say about his company’s advertising efforts, or lack thereof, regarding the upcoming Palm Pre. We don’t intend to advertise it heavily early on because we think we are going to have shortages for a while. We […]

Tuesday, May 19, 2009
Sprint announcedtoday that the Palm Pre will hit store shelves on June 6 for $199, after a $100 rebate. So consumers will really have to shell out $299, and then wait faithfully for their $100 rebate to come in the mail. Rebates suck, but apparently Palm really had to do whatever it could to make the […]
