Galaxy S II Skyrocket rides in on a white horse for AT&T on December 4th

Galaxy S II Skyrocket rides in on a white horse for AT&T on December 4th

This just in: Unicorns are real. After cropping up earlier this summer, Sammy's beast phone with an LTE twist is now officially Skyrocketing anew into AT&T's arms on December 4th. And this go 'round, it's been stripped of its Darth Vader-y hue - much to our afternoon delight. Bell and T-Mobile will also be sharing in the bleached looks, though those variants haven't yet been locked down to official releases.

HTC Rezound reported to have sound issues

HTC Rezound reported to have sound issues

One of the interesting features (and probably more advertised) of the HTC Rezound is its Beats Audio integration. With HTC purchasing a major stake in the audio company, it was only natural that they would include the technology along with a pair of Beats headphones to be used along with the phone. While initial impressions of the phone (based on reviews) remained somewhat good, it appears that there are growing complaints when the phone is being used with headphones. Not just limited to the Beats headphones that come supplied with the phone, it appears that any pair of headphones used runs into this problem.

Mystery Chinese tablet spotted running on Android 4.0

At the moment the Samsung Galaxy Nexus is the only device in the world to officially have Android's Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0 on board. There are a ton of other devices that are scheduled to receive the update, tablets included, but it appears that this mystery tablet from China may have beaten out the competition to be the first tablet to run on Android 4.0. Some are calling it a Xoom clone although to be honest we don't really see it that way.

‘You Talking to Me?' App Lets You Report Bad Taxi Drivers

‘You Talking to Me?' App Lets You Report Bad Taxi Drivers

ReportATaxi lets you rat out bad drivers to the city, and then Tweet about it. Taxi drivers: If they're not sneaking in a few extra miles by taking the long way round, or so intent on chatting to their friends via Bluetooth headsets that they miss your street, then they're probably just scheming up their next antisocial move. If only there was an easy way to report these bad apples.
Now there is. ReportATaxi is a free app that lets you report bad drivers to the New York Taxi and Limousine Commission, right from your phone.

The app makes a chore (calling up to complain) into a fun and easy piece of vengeance.

All of you know that iOS 5 turns the volume-up button on your iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch into a shutter release button. Just press to snap a photo when using a compatible app (the built in Camera app, for instance).
