Firefox goes Mobile all the way

Mozilla Firefox. Now, I don't really know what that name means to you, but to me, it means something very important: freedom. I remember discovering Firefox back in 2004, freeing me from the claws of Microsoft's Internet Explorer, and giving me the choice of using a browser I liked as well as delivering an awesome experience in my old PIII clocked at 600Mhz. Before Firefox, my favorite browser was Netscape, maybe because of its looks, or maybe not, but the fact is, it was the biggest competitor to Microsoft's Internet browser back in the day. Fast forward to the present day, and the browser wars is currently being held between four major competitors: Microsoft's Internet Explorer, Apple's Safari, Google's Chrome and Mozilla's Firefox. But, the browser wars is actually old news, isn't it? We're here for the mobile browser wars.

Motorola Droid X officially teased; the war on smartphone screens has begun

This week has been really incredible. You see, we don't like to post about rumors, even though we actually stay tuned to them, listen to them, and pray for some of them to become true. We've been weeks, if not months, being teased with pictures of a brand new Motorola device. At first, it was believed to be only one, and a successor to the Droid launched last November, but as more and more material got leaked throughout the web, the rumor spun off in two distinct devices. Well this week, after being rumors, at least one of them has become more than real. Find out what's going on after the break.

TechTalk: The Droid and its Milestone (Updated)

 

At last, the second issue of TechTalk. Don't worry, this one will be a lot more fun, since we'll be discussing current technology instead of out-dated one, and because finally, you'll get to understand why we easily claim that a smartphone's CPU is not up to standards while another one's is. Granted, the future is moving fast, and for you to fully understand the current context of mobile CPUs we'll need another issue, but with this one, you'll be able to look into a smartphone's face and not be fooled by the headlines "new", "coming soon" and "800 Mhz clock speed", because sadly, many smartphones being released today still don't offer the latest technology they should.

So please, join us and give us your own opinion in the comments section below. Before moving on though, if you've not read our first issue of TechTalk, we encourage you to please do so, since it's essential for fully understanding this post.

Verizon and the Droid

It is not hard to see why the Android community welcomed the Droid with so much affection; the Droid, running on Verizon Wireless' network, became a reality after a summer (2009's) full of rumours and speculation about a new device from Motorola, codenamed Motorola Sholes and/or Tao, which would run on Android 2.0. It all turned out to be true; on 27th October Google launched the Android 2.0 SDK to developers showcasing Android's new features on a device with a massive screen we had not seen before, and the next day, Motorola officially unveiled the Droid, and together with Verizon, started breathing new life into Android.
