HTC EVO 4G $200, On Sale June 4th

Sprint's first 4G smartphone, the EVO 4G, will go on sale on June 4th for $200 after a mail-in rebate (the full price is $450, but if you grab one from Best Buy, you'll get the discount applied when you buy). The Android-powered WiMAX ...

Senh: Looks just like the HD2, except with a better camera and operating system (Android). The only negative is that Sprint will be charging a monthly fee for tethering or using your device as a wifi hotspot, which you can currently get for FREE on Windows Mobile 6.5. If you think you're gonna be using this feature often, then I would stick with the HD2. Although tethering/wifi-hotspot is nice, I find that I actually don't use it much. Most of the time, I only use it as a backup in case my internet access goes down.

Yay! Dropbox for Windows Mobile

Mon, 05/03/2010 - 1:26pm — senh

Dropbox has became an indispensable web development tool for me. It lets you share and sync files across multiple computers - your desktop, laptop, and netbook. It also keeps a history of your edits, like google docs. I use it as a poor man's svn to keep track of my edits to pages on Wopular, in addition to syncing design comps, and to-do lists. Since I already use my HD2 to pick stores to feature on the site, I thought wouldn't it be nice if I could also do some coding with it.

Google's iPhone rival gains momentum

Google's mobile platform has a ways to go before it can even think of surpassing the smartphone market share of RIM or Apple, but Android's been buoyed by a flurry of good news that points to greener pastures — although a recent hiccup with Google's would-be flagship phone, the Nexus One, should give the big brains in Mountain View a moment of pause.

Senh: I guess it's official - the Nexus One (aka the Google phone) is a dud. This is a case where they made a great phone, according to the reviews, but just didn't know how to sell it. I REALLY wanted this phone, but couldn't get it.
