The HTC Titan and HTC Radar – Taking multi-tasking smartphones to new heights
HTC has announced two new models to its collection of smartphones – the HTC Titan and the HTC Radar, which have been marketed at various technology events around Europe simultaneously.

Out of this world? The Samsung Galaxy S II
The very slimline (8.49mm and the slimmest in the world according to Samsung) Android handset features Android 2.3 Gingerbread as well as a speedy dual-core 1GHz Samsung chip along with a generous 1Gb of AM.

IEC approves universal smart phone charger
I was at an airport last week and there was a mobile charger station there which was free to use for passengers.
