Monday, August 23, 2010
Apple’s unwillingness to support Flash on the iPhone was cemented this past April when Steve Jobs penned a letter outlining all the reasons why Apple is not too keen on the technology. At the same time, critics like to point to no Flash support as a key downside to iPhone ownership. All the while, the […]

Comments Off on In controlled test, iPhone’s capacitive touchscreen still reigns supreme
Back in January, the Moto Development Group tested the efficiency and accuracy of capacitive touchscreens across a number of devices. When the dust settled, the iPhone’s touchscreen reigned supreme. But not everyone was convinced that the testing was all that telling, particularly because it was done with a human finger, making the test prone to […]

Not everyone is a fan of the Motorola Droid. Stewart Alsop, for one, goes off on what he describes as a shoddy mobile OS coupled with moderately good hardware.
