Seems I'm getting a new phone, and got the idea that the old one could be useful as a music player for the bedroom if I don't sell it on. So, what I'm wondering is if anyone knows if there's a media player app that would let me control music playback on one phone from another over the network.

I'll probably wait for their devices to be released and reviewed before buying anything. They seem to be a bit like LG when it comes to Android, as they make decent hardware but lack the custom UIs that look as appealing (and, by now, familiar to consumers) as those from Samsung, HTC and Sony...

Don't buy the iPhone 5. The production of it requires huge amounts of dihydrogen monoxide, which is also used in nuclear reactors, illicit drug manufacture and the cultivation of GMO crops...

I do think component cost is an important factor. It's probably not a big deal for Apple to call a manufacturer and get their displays made in whatever shape and resolution they need, but manufacturers that don't count their device sales in tens of millions probably have to consider what is...

I think the fact that the iPhone5 has a 4" display proves the idea that there actually is a market for powerful, well built phones that don't have 4.8" displays... Maybe the fact that WP8 doesn't support any resolutions between 480x800 and 1280x720 is a problem. On Android there's 540x960 qHD...

I doubt HTCs offer will be limited to one device. They've been dedicated enough on earlier releases, and I think offering two new devices with Mango was pretty decent. Internationally Samsung only offered the Omnia W, and the rest of the market was pretty much full of tumbleweeds while waiting...

That lot of people don't have a clue is a fact. In some other comment I used the example of overhearing people with top of the line smartphones on the street saying things like "I think I'm somewhere nearby... yes, I know the address, but can you please tell me how to get there?". So, not only...

One could argue that the iPhone 5 looks more like every other phone now that Apple has decided to stretch the display to 16:9. I always wondered when they would do that. To me it felt like something they saved for the inevitable time when they run out of innovation and boundary pushing (or at...

Right, I'm bored. And I'm without Photoshop and threw this together in paint.net, so I besides the crappy editing I decided not to bother changing the too-metallic bezel and the slightly misaligned tiles after I pasted it together with the Surface. Edit: The post got a bit messy, with me...

Another way to turn it could be that they let others manufacture the phone with their own branding a little to the side, basically what Google does with Nexus, as a compensation for the benefits/attention Nokia gains from the current partnership. It wouldn't be that unfair competition if it's...

Apple's pattern seems to be to keep include plenty of new OS functionality when giving upgrades to devices two generations back, and it seems that this time even the 3GS will be getting iOS6. If Microsoft wants to keep any credibility they've built up for WP, they will have to do better than a...

Latest rumor, Accord will be launched as 8X...

Latest rumor is that the Accord will be known as 8X. I really hope that's a carrier specific name, because it's even duller than HD7. But, if we continue on the patterns... shouldn't the Radar be replaced with a Hawkeye..?

They have cut down the kernel. Before WP was launched, there was a demo where they ran an early ARM version of desktop Windows on a Windows Mobile 6.5 phone, and I think it used about 60% of the resources. It's not the kernel itself that uses all the resources on a desktop machine, but all the...

Now that I've looked at it more than twice, it also got me to relate to AcTIVe. Maybe it's because ATIV would be pronounced more like the the word "aktiv" in Swedish (and also in German and probably several more languages that also use a variation of the same basic word).
