Strategic Sharing: Zipcar Leads $13.7M Investment In Campus Car-Sharing Startup Wheelz
February 22, 2012 – 8:25 am | No Comment

Well, you have to hand it to the strategy team over at Zipcar .

Videos: Sony’s Playstation Phone Demonstrated Exhaustively At this point, Sony’s as-of-yet unannounced Playstation Phone (or whatever it’ll end up being called ) might just be the worst kept secret in recent history.

The Angle iPad Case from Nizmo’s Gizmos Just to let you know, CES can be a little tiresome at times. Going from booth to booth can get very tedious, and sometime I wish that the products would just come to me.

Hulu Plus coming to Android Hulu CEO Jason Kilar made an appearance at the Samsung press event at CES today, where he announced that a Hulu Plus app will be coming to Android 2.2+ in the coming months.

TekTrak phone locator offers two-use free version Just because Apple released a Find My iPhone app and then made it free, doesn't mean there isn't room for a little friendly competition. TekTrak originally took on Apple's built-in iPhone location service by offering TekTrak Pro at a one-time $4.99 instead of Mobile Me's $99 annual fee.

Here we are a mere day away from the ThunderBolt's probable announce at Verizon's CES press conference, which, by our rough count, gives us at least one more opportunity to see the LTE-capable monster leaked in the wild. That opportunity comes courtesy of AndroidSPIN, who claims that we can expect a 1GHz single-core processor, 8GB of internal storage with microSD expansion, 8 megapixel rear and 1.3 megapixel front cams, Android 2.2.1 with ...
