Following on the cooked Windows Mobile 6.1 ROM that got "leaked" out for the Sprint Mogul not too long ago, it looks like Sprint has let yet another beta version of the Windows Mobile 6.1 ROM get "leaked" out to the ROM-cooking community. The Sprint Mogul (HTC Titan) Windows Mobile 6.1 (3.49, radio 3.39.10) adds the [...]

The iPhone lacks many things that have come to be taken for granted by many mobile enthusiasts.

Remember all the hoopla that HTC was caught up in a few months back? Right, well all the petition-signing and class-action lawsuit-filing from angry HTC customers looking to have full video acceleration on their flagship HTC smartphones paid off. HTC gave in and promised to deliver a software update for their flagship handsets that should [...]
