Stolen WinMobile 6.5 phone remotely wiped, sorry guys, no sketchy video in the future

By Matt Scinto | Published: February 23, 2009

While the news of a stolen HTC handset running WinMo 6.5 had our hopes up for a sketched out video, it seems that Microsoft let us down. Apparently, once the phone was jacked, Microsoft remotely wiped all the system info and user data on the device, making it utterly useless. I think the bigger problem [...]

By Matt Scinto | Published: February 18, 2009

There’s has always been a big dispute in terms of turn by turn navigation on the iPhone. The two main issues can be narrowed down to thus: finding a map provider, (either Navteq or TeleAtlas) and worming around the SDK issues.

Hands on with the Garmin-Asus Nuvifone G60 [Video]

By Matt Scinto | Published: February 18, 2009

We had the notion that the Nuvifone was coming soon, and what better place to debut than the Mobile World Congress. The Unwired View got us a hands-on with the G60, with the most notable feature being the gorgeous 3.55″ 272×480 WQVGA touch-screen.

First looks at the LG Arena KM900

By Matt Scinto | Published: February 16, 2009

We heard about the pending release of the LG Arena KM900, and today our notions were confirmed at the MWC. Engadget was able to get a first hand tour of the device, and it’s S-Class 3D UI, aka the “Cube.” The interface looks, well, interesting. Each side of the cube has it’s own functions, whether [...]
