Say you love your iPhone or iPod touch, but you've always kind of wondered what it would be like to use Android instead. You could go all out and actually install Android on a jailbroken iPhone.

Amazon Appstore for Android lets you “test drive” apps in your web browser

When Amazon launched its Appstore for Android last week, one of the features I was most interested in checking out was the "Test Drive" option which lets you launch apps in a browser window to try before you buy (or download). Unfortunately, at the time I couldn't for the life of me find a single app to test drive. Even the Bubble Blaster game that... Read more »

When Palm introduced the Palm Pre and Pixi phones a few years ago running the shiny new webOS operating system, the company announced that it was moving away from support for legacy Palm apps.

Long before the iPhone, or even the original iPod music player was a glint in Steve Jobs' eye, Apple launched the Newton PDA.
