The experiment has just taken off and the Amazon Appstore for Android users is now live. From the look of things there is some early trouble in getting it up and running smoothly, but that is expected. Probably one of the reasons for the Amazon Appstore going down hours after release is the flooding of people who want to download Angry Birds Rio for free! At least, Amazon would want to think so. Remember that Apple have already raised an objection to the ‘Appstore’ reference from Amazon and believe that it is a trademark infringement. Obviously, we have not heard the last

Sony Ericsson Xperia Play is now available for pre-order on Vodafone UK and if you are sure you want to pocket it, then maybe you would like to place yours right now to get it at the earliest possible date. The official launch date for Xperia Play in UK is March 31st and in case you want to check it out in stores before you bring it home, then all you need to do is wait for another week. Also, it will be interesting to see if people will wait for the white Xperia Play that will also be available soon, no doubt. Vodafone though is offering the standard black version Free on a

Remember HP Veer? Yup, that cute little slider with webOS inside and it is apparently all set to come out in Germany this May. This comes from a tweet thanks to O2 Germany who have confirmed that the Veer will be launching in Germany this May. That probably means that rest of Europe and US will also be getting it about the same time. While there are those who are waiting for Pre 3, the Veer also provides an option of a slider from HP with webOS inside. Coming with a 2.6-inch multi-touch screen Veer sports a 5-megapixel camera with extended depth of field, 8GB internal memory,

With the Mobile World Congress 2011 and the likes of Nintendo 3DS and Sony’s Playstation Phone, there has been plenty of talk about mobile gaming units. But it is still the gaming consoles that form huge chunks of business for these firms. Nintendo admittedly knows that the Wii sales are not too strong currently and they are going to do something about that. According to EA Games Frank Gibeau, Nintendo Wii 2 will arrive in the latter half of this year and it is going to be launched at E3 2011. That sure is great news for all those who are waiting for the next version of the

Have you waited long and hard for the HTC Thunderbolt to arrive? The very first 4G LTE mobile from Verizon Wireless will be out tomorrow and while the build and the anticipation have gone on for a month too long, now you can finally get your hands on it. The news following the confirmed launch date is that Verizon is offering unlimited data plan for the Thunderbolt on release. While it is already known that Verizon is looking to phase out its unlimited plans once the summer comes to an end, you can at least enjoy it till then at 4G LTE speeds for $30 each month. Obviously it

Microsoft Internet Explorer 9 is now out and available for download and within a short time after launch it has attracted plenty of attention. Mostly the question doing rounds is if the latest version of Internet Explorer will restore some of the lost reputation of Microsoft thanks to the previous editions of IE. The biggest talking point, as it is always with E, is the security features and if it matches the likes of Firefox, Chrome and Opera in that regard. From early reviews and usage of the IE9 the opinion coming in is that Microsoft has put plenty of work behind it and

So, finally Verizon Wireless decided to enlighten us on the launch date of the HTC Thunderbolt 4G after months of agony and leaks that lead nowhere. By now, you must have know that Verizon Wireless is offering their first 4G LTE mobile for $250 starting March 17th. But what is new is that Wirefly is willing to go a step further and give it to you for just $199.99! This comes on the same day when finally Verizon decided that they will show some mercy on customers who placed pre-orders well over a month ago and let the world know that we are a couple of days away from the

Enjoying Angry Birds on Android? Also all excited about the latest Angry Birds Seasons: Go Green, Get Lucky? Maybe you are looking forward to the landing of Angry Birds on Facebook. Here is news for those Angry Birds lovers who are on Android OS. The bird hurling and pig chasing fun in its whole new edition ‘Angry Birds Rio’ will be available for android users on Amazon’s yet-to-open Appstore on release. Remember that Angry Birds Rio is in the making as a motion picture and the game with 60 new levels on launch and further more being added down the lane is all set to be

How long has it been since the iPad 2 hit the stores? Even if you say that iOS 4.3 was out a couple of days earlier than the launch, it still means that we have a jailbreak in less than a week. As someone who plans on bringing home the iPad 2, we are obviously delighted and even if there is not a downloadable version for us yet, this obviously means the wait will not be too long! Steve Jobs and Co. at the Apple headquarters will not be too pleased about this though. It seems that the iOS 4.3 jailbreak for Apple iPad 2 required a new shatter exploit as Apple pretty much patched

The HTC Thunderbolt 4G has been a highly-anticipated handset. From being the hot first 4G LTE mobile from Verizon Wireless it has become a mobile that always seems on the brink of release but never makes it to the stores. While those at Verizon might clutch onto straws and argue that they never promised a release date, it seems unfair to take pre-orders and then keep customers waiting endlessly. At least some sorts of confirmation would be nice, but Verizon seems very hesitant on giving out a date. Every time you check their site, you get the same old “very soon’ line and
