AT&T wasn’t the only company that took offense to Verizon’s “There’s a Map for That” ad campaign and responded in kind. Monday night, Apple premiered two new iPhone ads that are actually aimed at pointing out the downsides of Verizon’s network, though they don’t state that outright.

We first saw Ostendo's crazy CRVD monitor at CES 2008 with Alienware branding , and then again at Macworld 2009 with an NEC label , but it looks like those were just flirtations: the monster 2880 x 900 quad-DLP display has been quietly on sale directly from the mothership since late August. Ostendo tell us most of the units sold have been for ...

It's been quite a few months since we've heard anything from Klausner Technologies , but it looks like the company has finally decided on its next set of targets that are allegedly infringing on its now infamous visual voicemail patents. As announced in a pair of expectedly terse press releases, Klausner says that both RIM and Motorola have now ...
