And death grip strikes yet another phone, this time its HTC’s HD7. We’d seen complaints by owners pop-up throughout the week, however what was originally thought to be a series of isolated incidents — hence the lack of coverage around the net — has prompted an official statement from the company, yep looks like we could have another antenna gate on our hands.
Sony Ericsson’s Zeus Z1, better known by the masses as the “PlayStation Phone” has come face to face with an Internet leaker — much to the joy of the gadget community, however we’re fairly certain Sony isn’t too impressed. Nevertheless, in the videos below you’ll notice Sony’s PlayStation menu — that can been as Sony’s inevitable intent to compete mano e mano with Apple’s iPhone. Videos after the break!
Every so often a phone manages to save a woman’s life by absorbing the “accidentally fired bullet, at the hand of an estranged spouse,” however; in a bizarre twist that seems like an assassination attempt straight out of a James Bond flick, Floridian man, Aron Embry was making a phone call when all of a sudden his Motorola Droid 2 exploded.

What do these two bits of news have to do with each other? Not much. The Universal Dock, on one hand, has been upgraded with the inclusion of an aluminum Apple remote, an AC adapter, and new dock adapters for the new iPods/iPhone.

LimeWire has officially made plans to jump ship, and swim to safety in the next month or two. It took a day for the company to responded to requests from All Things Digital, but they did finally respond with the following email “the beginning of 2011 will mark the closing of LimeWire” — Email after the break…
It’s become as important as food to some people, and seemingly more important to others — and what I am talking about is the cellphone. Ever since its introduction in 1973 as the worlds first “practical” handset, the cellphone has taken the world by storm and has now become a necessity if you want to live the day to day life of the average Joe. Skip forward 37 years and the chart below finally makes sense — this is how the world uses their mobile phones.
So many times we have been worried to death about the internet becoming closed and capped, but every time, the idea never got to product (thankfully). There have been moments where the internet becoming “tiered” has almost happened, and we are all dreading the day this movement finally pushes through, and a closed and tiered internet becomes a reality. Today we have reached a dreadful milestone where the FCC now wants the exact thing we dread every day as geeks.
