If you weren’t aware, the iPhone is Apple’s first ever attempt at a mobile phone. Despite this fact, the device’s innovative all touchscreen form factor coupled with its deep iTunes integration and App Store have led to its immense success. However, since the early days of the iPhone just one carrier has had the device; AT&T.
Some love this, other don’t mind it but many hateit. Luckily, there has been talks of the iPhone coming ot Verizon in the past but with each reoccuring release, these rumors are continuously shut down. Today, however, the New York Times has come forth to say that the iPhone will indeed be coming to Verizon early next year.
If this is to be believed we aren’t yet sure and probably won’t be until early next year.

Research in Motion has been in the game for a while focusing many of their BlackBerry handsets on the enterprise market. However, with the release of their BlackBerry 6 mobile operating system alongside devices like the BlackBerry Torch 9800, their focus is getting much broader. In fact, RIM has so many different BlackBerry devices on the market that it would be hard not to find a device that would suit your needs perfectly.
Seeing how full touch screen smartphones are all the rage, perhaps the BlackBerry Storm or BlackBerry Storm 2 is for you. Unfortunately, both devices were not received very well by consumers who were not very fond of its clicky touch screen. Despite this fact, rumors have suggested that RIM had forged on with the Storm line up and had planned to launch the BlackBerry Storm 3 at some point in the future.
Unfortunately, for those anxiously awaiting the Storm 3, reports have surfaced today that say RIM has canceled their plans to bring the device to market. Why exactly they would be doing such a thing we don’t yet know but we’ll keep you posted as the story unfolds.

Thanks to the emergence of the various mobile application stores such as the Android Marketplace and iOS App Store, companies far and wide have been able to get their products onto millions of handheld devices. Netflix, for one, has a much loved mobile application that is available for devices such as the iPad and iPhone. This app allows you to stream videos isntantly from Netflix’s extensive line up straight to your device no matter where you may be.
Today, however, Netflix has announced that their iPhone app is getting even better as they have just given it a video out ability. What does this mean, exactly? Well, if you purchase an A/V kit that allows you to hook your iPhone up to an external display such as a television or projector you will actually be able to stream video from the cloud, to your iPhone, to your television.
This addition basically makes it unnecessary for iPhone touting consumers to purchase something like an Internet connected set-top box because they will now need nothing more than their phone to watch videos on the big screen. Pretty amazing, if you ask me.

One of the greatest things about Google’s Android mobile is the fact it’s open source. This means that Google’s guidance over what can and cannot be made for the platform is very lenient. Apple on the other hand has been known to be quite strict with their App Store approval process, but we’ll save that for another story.
Currently, there is a whole slew of different web browsers available for Google Android. However, with so many choices it can be hard to choose exactly which web browser is the most capable one. Luckily, our friends over at PC World have pitted the various mobile browsers against one another and have deemed a victor.
Apparently, Mozilla’s Finnec Mobile Alpha is currently the fastest web browser available for Google Android. If you’ll make note, this is pretty much the Android version of Firefox which is one of the most used desktop browsers on the market.
Which Android browser will you choose?
