Oh look, Verizon is just about to pick up the Windows Phone 8.1 updating pace at last. Of course, for Big Red to "pick up the pace," they'd need to have a tempo to begin with, which they don't.

Thus far, although WP 8.1 is nearly two months old in general availability form, the largest wireless service provider stateside has sat idly by while rival

Qualcomm eyes ultra-low-cost mobile domination with Snapdragon 210 SoC

The undisputed heavyweight champion of today's Android décor, Qualcomm, is not doing so hot in emerging markets, where low-cost smartphones are all the rage, no matter their performance compromises.

So far, the suppliers of high-end powerhouses such as the Snapdragon S4 Pro, 600, 800 and 805 have had trouble competing with budget specialists like MediaTek. But no more. Not once the…

Microsoft is all ready to drop Nokia, Windows Phone brands for the holidays

If all you want for Christmas is a Nokia Lumia device, be careful to nail the right nomenclature when writing to Santa. Chances are Nokia Lumias will cease to exist by Thanksgiving, transforming into Microsoft Lumias.

Oh, and also, they'll likely no longer run Windows Phone, but instead just Windows, although this gradual software branding transition may take a few extra months. That is,…

HP 7 Plus spin-off with 3G connectivity and Bluetooth spotted at FCC

A relatively new face on the tablet PC scene, HP has introduced quite a few pint-sized laptop replacements of late, both running Windows and built on Google's Android platform. And while some carry bold monikers such as Extreme, HD or Plus, most look like flyweights next to iPads or high-end Android/Windows slates.

But you don't necessarily need muscle to stand out from the packed tab crowd. You can also make an impact with an…

Listen up, fashionistas: Samsung has custom Diesel Black Gold Gear S for you

Show of hands: Who here feels, like one of the luxury timepiece industry's heavyweights, that the Apple Watch is too girly? Nobody? Good, because Samsung has a proposition that could only be described as even more feminine. Not to mention kooky.

Call me old-fashioned, just plain old or a fashion ignoramus, but I still wouldn't be caught dead…

HTC expected to dip toes into wearable waters after all, just not this year

They want in, they don't want in, then they want in again. Make a decision already, HTC, and stick with it. It's simple, either you're willing to take the smartwatch gamble, or you're too afraid to see your already struggling financials head on a slippery slope to bankruptcy.

There will never be a "perfect" time to join the wearable venture, and if there is, it might be too late at that point to…
