Last night, London-based makers of popular Linux OS Ubuntu, Canonical, unleashed a mobile version of Ubuntu which also provides options to dock and give you a desktop experience. Even if it ultimately doesn't work, this is an important innovation because phone/desktop hybrids are quite possibly where the future of computing lies -- one device to rule them all, one device to--oh, you get the idea.

Motorola couldn't make it work with its Atrix, but apparently London-based Canonical thinks it can do better. You'll soon be able to get Ubuntu on a phone, which you can then dock and get a full Ubuntu desktop experience. I'll believe it when I see it. Read More >>

Cameras in mobile phones have come a mighty long way in the past few years, from the pixelated shit-vision of yore to the current breed that have replaced most of our compact digicams. But the sense of wonder is fading, and we need some new features. Who's gonna step up?? Read More >>
While we're over here yammering on and on about sexting and the best ways to do it, things are moving in a bit of a different direction in South Korea. The country's government is currently rolling out a plan to block swearing and pornography on all its teenagers phones. Read More >>
If you've been a good little boy or girl, it's a fair bet Santa might've pulled something vaguely smartphone-shaped out of his bulging sack for you this Christmas. If you're a clumsy little fellow though, (or live in horrible, wet, rainy England), you're probably going to want to insure your shiny new toy. Here are your best options. Read More >>
The hole RIM has found itself in is deep, dark, and doused in despair. And as much as the company's gambling on its new BB10 platform to pull itself up, an operating system's only as good as the phones running it. So take a good, hard look at this supposed BlackBerry N-Series device. It could be RIM's best shot at survival. Read More >>

In a bit of news-that-makes-you-say-duh, the WSJ tells us that Motorola is working on making a really good phone, and Google is helping. The interesting bits, though, come in surrounding all the trouble surrounding the project, which Motorola is calling "X Phone". Read More >>

Vietnamese site Tinhte (link currently down) claims to have gotten its hands on some advanced screenshots of BB10, which is expected to launch at the end of next month. For the revamped operating system, it looks like RIM has taken pieces from Apple, Google, and Microsoft competitors and jammed them together.

So you did it. Or maybe you did it again. Dropped your favorite gadget in a sink or a toilet. Or you spilled an entire 40oz on it. Oops. That doesn't mean you can't save it though. Here are a few tips that might just bring it back to life. Read More >>
The BlackBerry 10 L-Series, which has been spied before, just got a full centrefold at Tinhte.vn and the biggest surprise? It kind of looks wonderful. The L-Series, which is also known as the hail mary phone that RIM is banking the entire company on, looks a lot like an iPhone 5 from some angles but at the same time, feels decidedly BlackBerry.
