They were of several models with a few of them showing unconventional configurations, which left us… → Read More

This year’s show is sure to be filled with a ton of craptablets and iPad knock-offs, but Asus is one of those companies that should be able to out a lasting and quality tablet.

I’m totally down with the new MotoTab being called the Buzz but PocketNow has discovered that Motorola recently registered “Xoom” as an official trademark, a move that points to rich usage of the name and term in their products. → Read More
According to one of our Asia contacts, there is a range of phones in China by a manufacturer called OPPO and they’re selling quite well.
