By sam mcloughln Firstly, it is important to remember that rather than running Windows Mobile OS, HTC have adopted Google’s Android OS and the HTC/Android team is a great mix and straight away, my impression of HTC devices being more for business than pleasure went straight out the window.

By sam mcloughln For some unbeknownst reason Google has offered Google News in a mobile-friendly version to BlackBerry, Windows Mobile and S60 devices, but has failed to provide the same experience to iPhone, Android, and Palm Pre device owners."

By Andrew Nusca Not every company will bite on Android, though — differentiating in the marketplace is a good thing, to a point. But three or four distinct platforms is the most I believe the market will sustain. (We’ve already got more than that: Apple iPhone OS, Google Android, RIM BlackBerry OS, Palm web...

By Om Malik Google’s Android OS-based phones and Apple’s iPhone maybe get all the media love, but one analyst firm believes that it will be RIM’s BlackBerry that will be the smartphone king of the U.S. market in five years.

By matt buchanan Google Talk is the non-Gmail killer app for me, and highlights just how badly the iPhone needs a native messaging app—it's like BlackBerry Messenger, but for Google.

By Robert Nelson The Android app, similar to the one for the iPhone and BlackBerry will allow you to enjoy Slacker as well as your customized music experience on the go.

By John Herrman It doesn't stop with Microsoft, either. Symbian, whose boss called Android "just another Linux platform," is losing ground, and losing some of Sony Ericsson's business doesn't help.

By John Herrman • Hardware partners: Who isn't developing an Android phone nowadays? Motorola, Samsung, LG, Sony Ericsson, and HTC dwarf Palm's hardware partner list, which consists of "Palm." Android is the new Windows Mobile, but in a good way.

By JG Mason Palm will be launching their new Pixi, the cute candybar webOS sibling on Sprint next month at $99.  The phone, to its credit looks great, runs the fun webOS and even one-ups the Pre with a new Facebook app.  But can it stand a chance against the $49 iPhone?

By matt buchanan That's Barnes & Noble (and Amazon) have apps to read their books on the iPhone and on the PC. And soon on the BlackBerry. And eventually Android.

By Joseph L. Flatley Looks like someone in Shenzhen had time to kill overnight at the Storm factory -- and they've put it to good use.

By matt buchanan That's the only way I can fathom them releasing something this unusable into a world populated by the iPhone, Palm Pre, Android and BlackBerry.
