By Chris Davies on Monday, Nov 23rd 2009 No Comments

spotify mobile for s60 Streaming music-on-demand service Spotify threw the radio cat among the Nokia pigeons back in September, when it announced a S60 mobile client was on the way.

samsung omnia b7330 smartphone Samsung have announced a new Windows Mobile smartphone and promised a lease of new life for several other existing models, each of which will get an upgrade to Windows Mobile 6.5.

Amazon is pretty much a bastion of information at this point, isn’t it? Things keep popping up on their site, both locally and globally that would lead most manufacturers to pull their hair out in frustration. And while we’re sure that this time around, in regards to Samsung, no one is all that upset with the phone finding its way to the digital shelves, we’re sure that someone has to be upset.

Samsung Application Store Unveiled by Samsung Mobile

By Evan Selleck on Monday, Aug 31st 2009 No Comments
