HTC is investing $40 million into OnLive to help with games on smartphones. Is this what you’ve been waiting for? I know quite a few people who have been waiting on improvements in HTC gaming, hoping they would at least step up their game or let Google take over. This seems like a step forward and maybe will be just what HTC needs.

Internet radio has really taken off within the last few years with services like Pandora, Slacker, and Last.FM. Pandora and Slacker both offer their services for free but also have a premium upgrade package available. So far, Last.FM has always been free, including unlimited skips and a few ads. That’s about to change, because today, Last.FM has announced that they are moving most connected devices over to a subscription-based service. It looks to be $3/month. Streaming through the website will remain free with ads. Also, if you have an XBox or Windows Phone 7 device, you will still get free streaming. Unfortunately, for those on iPhone, Android, and other “connected devices”, you will have to start paying for the subscription on February 15th to continue your streaming. Read more…

So I was privileged to have the chance of a lifetime; a 2 week special time with the HTC Surround – AT&T Windows Phone 7 Device. In this review I will break the phone down in Pro’s and Con’s, rate both the hardware and software and then give my personal opinion about the device. I hope that during your reading you feel enlightened enough to at least try a Windows Phone 7 Device, especially the HTC Surround.
Android users, guess what, “We Rule” will be available this Spring! I myself am a huge fan of this game and looked for it the other day, so this news is great to hear! The point of the game is for players to rule and have complete control over their Kingdom.
