The only thing missing from Opera Software's press release is a Tim Allen grunt. We're not hatin', the browser maker has every reason to beat its chest, a right you earn when your browser is used by over 100 million mobile users each month. According to Opera Software's State of the Mobile Web report, 90.4 million now use Opera Mini on a monthly basis, and another 15 million use Opera Mobile.
Much to the dismay of AT&T, the wireless carrier's exclusivity agreement with Apple to sell the iPhone is officially over. February 10 is here, and that means the iPhone 4, in CDMA form, is available on Verizon's network, though you don't have to march into a Verizon store to get one. Wallyworld announced
Just a few short years ago, we wouldn't even discussing smartphones versus digital cameras in the photography field. And in terms of professional photography, we still aren't. But for any Johnny-come-lately looking to snap a photo and upload it to Facebook, most modern smartphones suffice. It's because of this that smartphones have started to close the gap with digital cameras as the top device for taking pictures, but how far is the divide?
No matter what AT&T says publicly, behind closed doors the wireless carrier is undoubtedly sweating bullets in fear that subscribers will flock to Verizon now that it too is offering an iPhone 4.

The iControlPad has been promising to transform iPhone and iPod devices into bonafide gaming platforms since 2008. Back then, iControlPad was pitching a dedicated directional pad with four rubber gaming buttons that would fit snugly around Apple's mobile devices and plug into the dock port. Here we are two years later and you can finally order one. What's more, the final design is such that it should work with any modern smartphone, not just an iPhone/iPod touch.
DIY repair website iFixIt has a serious fetish with tearing into electronics just for the fun of it, and this week they've carved into Verizon's iPhone 4. Externally, iFixIt notes there's isn't a huge difference between Verizon's CDMA model and AT&T's GSM iPhone 4, though Verizon's does sport a different antenna design. The SIM slot is gone, and no doubt at the insistence of Apple, Verizon's branding isn't plastered on the iPhone 4. And of course this one comes with those annoying Pentalobe screws designed to keep you from mucking about.
In a survey commissioned by Norton, it was discovered that over a third of all Americans (36 percent) either lose their cell phone or end up having it stolen. Broken down by city, that number jumps to 52 percent in Miami, which ranks No. 1 on the list of top 20 U.S. cities for cell phone loss or theft. Last on the top 20 list is Minneapolis at 29 percent, while San Francisco, home to Silicon Valley, took the No. 13th spot at 35 percent. So what does it all mean?
While everyone is gushing over Verizon's union with Apple's iPhone 4, T-Mobile wants you to know there are other choices in the mobile smartphone space.
