HTC is revamping its Android lineup with the One series of marquee phones. The company has just introduced the One X, One S, and One V Android phones, and it has also announced Sense 4, the newest version of the love-it-or-hate-it Android skin. Keep up with all of the announcements and hands-on impressions as they come in...
HTC's new One series of Android smartphones garnered much of the attention and praise at Mobile World Congress this year. That's partially because the One X, One S, and One V are each compelling phones, but mainly the attention came because the...
The Ascend D quad, Huawei's answer to quad-core smartphones such as HTC's One X and LG's Optimus 4X HD, will not start production until at least August, according to comments from the chief of the company's consumer business group. Posting on the Chinese microblogging site Weibo yesterday, Yu Chengdong revealed that Huawei was experiencing "technical problems" with its ambitious K3V2...
Barcelona, Spain: a city so important to mobile, the GSM Association has crowned it "Mobile World Capital," home of the annual Mobile World Congress trade show, through 2018. Each February, it's a place where the heavies of the wireless industry come from every corner of the globe to wheel, deal, and steer strategic initiatives that will affect mobile subscribers for years to come. With global wireless penetration somewhere in the vicinity of 85 percent, that translates to an enormous amount of power being wielded in this bustling Catalonian metropolis over the course of a mere four-day conference.
Of course, many of those conversations and handshakes take place behind closed doors — far removed from the media and the public at large — but there are still countless events, sessions, and interviews at the show that offer a glimpse...

Although the worldwide patent lawsuits between Apple and nearly every major Android smartphone vendor have been bitterly fought and may eventually involve government intervention, there's really no day-to-day impact on the consumer — Apple, Google, and its OEMs continue to improve and sell...
We've been hearing for a while that the next version of Android will be called Jelly Bean, in accordance with Google's alphabetized and dessert-inspired naming scheme for the platform. Short of some none-too-subtle hinting, however, the company...
Tegra 3, Nvidia's new quad-core chip for smartphones and tablets, has been the most talked-about new processor at MWC 2012. Its popularity continues a habit the company established last year when almost every phone maker had a Tegra 2 handset to show off. Today's a little...

Microsoft has just tweeted out the news that its Consumer Preview build of Windows 8 has been downloaded one million times within the first day of...

In an interview with ARM lead mobile strategist James Bruce at Mobile World Congress today, we inquired about the status of the company's partnership with Apple — an ARM licensee — which was met with a simple response:
"We don't comment on Apple."
After asking a follow-up question, he responded with:
"We don't comment on Apple. Full...
Microsoft covered a lot of ground this morning, giving us a look at the Windows 8 Consumer Preview, the new OS running on ARM tablets, and the Windows Store. If you've read our live coverage and hands-on articles and still want more, you're in luck: Redmond has posted videos of the event on its...
Microsoft clearly wants to get ARM-based hardware in the hands of Windows 8 developers as quickly as possible — Nvidia is announcing that it's working with Microsoft to distribute test PCs running on Tegra 3 hardware to both software developers and device manufacturers. This news comes just one day after Microsoft and Qualcomm announced a similar partnership, although Qualcomm made no mention of distributing to hardware companies. This is all part of Microsoft's plan to build a thriving Windows 8 for ARM ecosystem by the time the OS launches, both in terms of software and available devices. At the moment, there's very little details on...
Microsoft made a lot of announcements today, but one of the things it didn't talk much about was the giant, 82-inch, pen-friendly PC that the company used to demo some Windows 8 features. It's a Perceptive Pixel PC — Perceptive Pixel was founded by Jeff Han, who at TED in 2006 demonstrated touchscreen interfaces that were remarkably ahead of their time. It's a Gorilla Glass display, and is also touch- and pen-enabled; this thing puts the Galaxy Note to shame. It's just one of many devices Microsoft showed off, as part of its proving how many different types of devices can use the new...
To go along with the Windows 8 Consumer Preview, Microsoft is releasing Internet Explorer 10 Platform Preview 5. While Internet Explorer 10's radically redesigned interface has been available to developers for some time now, consumers will now be...
Microsoft is using its Windows 8 Consumer Preview event to show off some examples of hardware that'll come fresh out of the box with the new OS when it ships later this year. The company has demonstrated both ARM and Intel x86 flavors of Windows 8...
We're starting to see the first demos of working Metro apps for Windows 8. Amazon has created a Metro version of its Kindle app — no surprise, really, given that the company has been supporting as many platforms as possible, PC included. M...
