If you’ve been paying attention you’ll probably know that Motorola has been working to split up their entities and form independent companies. This may lead you to wonder what exactly will change to give Motorola the edge inthe consumer electronics world. Well, if you were wondering this you may be disappointed to find that the only thing we’ve uncovered is that they will be switching up their branding.

In fact, according to Engadget, the only thing that has changed is that Motorola will be heavily marketing their name in red starting in the new year. What else has changed, you ask? Well, we’re going to have to wait and see as Motorola has kept quiet about it thus far.

Let’s just hope we see some hot new smartphone (and tablet) releases as Motorola is on a roll with devices like the Droid 2 and Droid X.

Many of you like to see new packages in Cydia as soon as they’re available. If you’re put off by the time it takes Cydia to load, then here’s an alternative method to view changes, updates, and newly posted apps.

To do this, you will need an RSS reader app, or at the very least a Google Reader account. I recommend using the free version of MobileRSS, but any will do. Once you have a way to view RSS feeds on your iPhone, add the feed listed below. Read More

Do you have any doubt that Android is quickly becoming the biggest name in the mobile world? Well, if the immense amount of Android powered handsets wasn’t enough then perhaps you should check out a tweet recently sent by Google’s very own Andy Rubin.

According to Mr. Rubin, 300,000 mobile phones are being activated each and every day powered by the Android mobile operating system. To put this into comparison, Apple CEO Steve Jobs took center stage back in September to let us know that there were roughly 230,000 iOS activations per day. Just to note, Rubin makes an effort to say phones, while Jobs says iOS devices in general which includes the iPad, iPhone and iPod touch. This would lead one to believe that if Google factored in tablets, those figures would be much higher.

What ever the case may be, Android is growing, and it’s growing fast. Have you hopped on board yet? Do you plan on doing so?

CES 2011 is just around the corner which means a whole slew of new devices and technologies are sure to get announced. While we’ve had some speculation over what will be announced, new rumors and reports are surfacing left and right. The latest of such rumors to surface is one surrounding the popular VoIP service Skype.

Skype has been an immensely popular voice and video chatting service for desktop platforms but has made its way to mobile platforms like iOS and Android as well. However, one thing that the mobile application does not feature is the ability to make video conference calls – a highly sought after featured offering by competitors like fring.

However, Skype has begun sending out invites to an event they will be holding during CES 2011. What exactly with the VoIP giant be announcing, you ask? Well, our best best (and half the Internet’s) is that they will finally be taking the wraps off of their mobile video calling service.

Unfortunately, until that is made official, that remains nothing more than speculation.
