Move over FADs (“for a day”), it’s time for FAFYs (“for a few years”). Thanks to Apple’s lead, touch screen mobile devices have just about consumed the entire mobile industry.

The Arena is expected to be officially announced at the 2009 Mobile World Congress in Barcelona later this month. [via GSMArena] → Read More

Nothing too high end, so don’t get too excited – but if your thing is mid-range flips and candybars, boy do we have eight treats for you! → Read More
