This seems a little far-fetched in my opinion, but I guess anything is possible and as long as there are people out there willing to pay for a luxury like this, it sure makes things interesting. Aston Martin is partnering with Canada’s Mobiado to produce a line of high-end luxury smartphones, supposedly to be launched in May of this year. The most interesting one is the CPT002 because it is completely transparent. Yes, you read that right! Read more…
When Windows Phone 7 first launched, there wasn’t a very good app to get sports scores. You could use ESPN’s mobile website, or another one. Then came ScoreMobile, which was pretty good and got the job done. It was lacking a few major scores at first, but has been updated since then. ESPN has released their ScoreCenter app for other platforms and it has been very popular. Now its finally available on Windows Phone 7.
Ever since AT&T started selling Android smartphones, they’ve disabled the ability to install applications from “unknown sources”, meaning the only way to officially install apps is through the Android Market. You could still use the ADB command line to push an APK to your phone, but that’s beyond most people’s scope. They just want to be able to click on the phone and install things. Now, this wasn’t really a huge deal in the past, but with the release of the Amazon App Store, it has caused an uprising among AT&T Android users because they can’t install the App Store, much less install apps from there.

PPCGeeks continues on spreading the word for the Amazon App Store that Android devices can get one free application per day, until further notice. If you aren’t sure what’s available today or haven’t looked yet, today only you can get Fruit Ninja for free. If you don’t grab it today you will be paying $.99 for the game tomorrow or anytime after.
Update: False Alarm. According to BGR, there was no conference in Toronto and Jim Balsillie didn’t speak at any event.
Geeks we are here to spread the word for the Amazon App Store that Android devices can get one free application per day, if you haven’t already noticed. We will do our best to keep you up to date each day and let you know what’s available.
We have always heard that “No news is good news” right? Well we have not heard a lot about the Microsoft Kin Studio – if you remember right PPCGeeks, this was the software that the Kin One and Kin Two on Big Red had.
Microsoft is rumored to be adding a newly popular feature in Windows Phone 7, and that is Near Field Communication, or NFC. It will supposedly ship on smartphones later this year, which means the software/OS part could be part of the Mango update. Nokia said that it would be implementing NFC on most of its smartphones in 2011, so this could be a push by the Nokia-Microsoft partnership. Read more…
Google has enabled a feature that developers are sure to love. Much like iOS, developers can now offer in-app billing for their apps. This means they could offer you an app, then add levels or features and bill you for them from within the app. It uses the same checkout system as the Market itself and Google will get a 30% cut from all proceeds.

The image confirms the HTC Flyer will definitely be launched on T-Mobile’s network (maybe European only) but rumors suggest it will also be found on Sprint’s network sometime this Summer.
There haven’t been release dates mentioned just yet but there are specifications are all over the web and the HTC website has the greatest details. We are here to share those with you now and get your opinions on the device.
If you have the new Sprint HTC Arrive, you don’t need to worry about this since your phone already has the NoDo (v7390) update installed stock. For those of us GSM users out there that have the HD7, Focus, Surround, etc, there’s now a way we can “trick” Zune into updating our phones to NoDo too! Read more…
If you haven’t gotten this letter, it’s probably on its way to your mailbox. Thanks to a user here at PPCGeeks we get to share with those of you who may not have it exactly what it says. As we stated in a previous article, the buyout may not go through with AT&T and T-Mobile. Either way, it’s interesting to see what Dan Hesse really has to say.
We recently got word that some owners of the Droid X and Droid 2 received leaked Gingerbread builds with updated MotoBlur. Mydroidworld has shared the leak and we are here spreading the word.
