Droid Incredible 2 makes an appearance with Verizon, still does not mean it is available for sale

While some may be waiting for Verizon to offer up the Droid Incredible 2, it looks like that wait may be getting ready to come to an end. Unfortunately though, these latest details are not coming by way of an official announcement, but at least they are coming by way of images of an internal Verizon system. Anyway, the image shows that the HTC ADR6350 (also noted as INCRD 2 and HTC63503PKSP) has been listed with Verizon. Needless to say, we remain hopeful that a release announcement is coming soon rather than later.

Motorola Xoom tablet cannot load its own product website [Irony]

Section: Communications, Computers, Mobile Computers

Motorola Xoom tablet cannot load its own product website

Look, we all recently learned that the Motorola Xoom was going to launch without support for Flash. That said and to be fair, Adobe already came forward and let us all know that they would have an update available in a few weeks, however we are going to poke a little fun while we can. Nonetheless, we could not help to get a nice chuckle out of the fact that the Xoom cannot even load its own product website—because it uses Flash. Of course, if you look closely at the image you will also see a nice little (almost) hidden surprise in the form of an Apple logo.

Rumor: HTC Trophy Windows Phone 7 smartphone coming to Verizon in late March

Section: Communications, Cellular Providers, Smartphones, Mobile

According to the latest in he rumor mill, it looks like Verizon will have their Windows Phone 7 offering available towards the end of next month. The details are coming by way of winrumors who are citing “people familiar with the company’s plans.” That said, it looks like the HTC Trophy will be available in late March and it will arrive with an on-contract price tag of $200. Other details suggest that Verizon could make the official announcement on February 28th (this coming Monday). And on another positive note, the Trophy will arrive with the “NoDo” WP7 update in place, meaning it will arrive with copy and paste.

Motorola Atrix 4G smartphone & laptop dock now available for $429.99 with Walmart Wireless

Motorola Atrix 4G smartphone & laptop dock now available for $429.99 with Walmart Wireless

A few days back we learned that AT&T was no longer going to allow third party retailers to sell their phones online. This applies to companies such as LetsTalk and Wirefly and while that is not the best news for those looking for a deal in terms of lower prices or waived activation fees—there is at least one more AT&T related deal to be had. The offer is for the Motorola Atrix 4G smartphone and laptop dock which is priced at $429.99. Granted, that is not the hugest of savings, but it will still save you about $70 as compared to buying direct with AT&T. And plus, the discounts come by way of instant rebates and those are always better than the mail-in type. With that, we should also point out that this offer is set to expire on February 28th.

Motorola offers up "Unhinged" Xoom tablet commercial

Section: Communications, Cellular Providers, Mobile, Computers, Mobile Computers

Verizon released their Motorola Xoom promo video a few days back and now it looks like it was Motos turn to do the same. The latest is called “Unhinged” and as the name sort of implies, using the Xoom will allow you to unhinge from the laptop way of doing things. That said, while I am not certain most people can truly replace their laptop with a tablet, this commercial did do a rather nice job of showing off some of the more popular features.

The Daily iPad app updated, still free and still crashing

The Daily iPad app updated, still free and still crashing

It looks like The Daily iPad app has been updated yet again, and low and behold—it still seems to crash EVERY single time we use it. Of course, I guess the sad aspect is starting to come into play, because without fail we still try and read it every day. That said, the most recent update brought the app up to version 1.0.3 and with that was supposed be “improved stability.” Well, maybe that is true in part, maybe we were able to get three quarters through an issue as opposed to half way through. But joking aside, The Daily free trial has once again been extended, its now free until March 21st. Otherwise, the “what’s new” section in the App Store listing notes these updates;

Essential update to The Daily! Including an extended free trial period.

For best results when updating please delete the older version of the app from your iPad before installing this one.

This new version of The Daily (v1.0.3) focuses on the things our readers have requested most:

  • Improved stability
  • Increased responsiveness throughout the app
  • Improved performance when using offline or connecting via 3G
