Just yesterday we were hearing rumbles that Apple was in talks concerning a buyout of Spotify, with TechCrunch claiming that the two parties were in “on again, off again” discussions. Well, Spotify has today said that’s all bunk.

The HTC Desire HD. Where to begin? While the phone has only been official for a month, it’s a smartphone that gadget obsessives have been waiting on for much longer. Ever since the 4.3-in HTC HD2 stunned us a year ago by challenging our notions of how big a screen should be, we’ve been waiting for the Taiwanese trendsetter to serve up an equivalent sized handset, packed with Android, instead of the dreadful, crashy Windows Mobile.
The Americans got one in the Summer in the HTC Evo 4G, and now, at long last, British fans are getting one in the HTC Desire HD. Is it the iPhone 4 trumper we’ve been hoping for? Find out with our full HTC Desire HD review.
It should probably come as no surprise that the HTC Desire HD has strolled straight into the top spot on our best HTC phone Top 5 list after we gave it five stars in our full HTC Desire HD review, but it’s crashed onto three other shortlists too. Is the HTC Desire HD the best Android phone? Read on to see where it placed.
This iPhone isn’t hacked, we haven’t jailbroken it, or installed anything Apple doesn’t allow. But still, it’s running Windows 3.0 in full. We can move windows, create documents. The whole shebang. How is it possible? Read on and we’ll show you how!
Samsung is the phone maker behind the Google Nexus Two Android phone, according to a new rumour on the web today. Android and Me reports that multiple sources have confirmed that Samsung’s press event scheduled for 8 November in New York City will see the unveiling of the first Android Gingerbread phone – no laggy software skin, just a pure Google OS and Samsung’s ludicrously powerful hardware.
If true, we can’t wait to see the Google Nexus Two. HTC made the first Nexus phone with stock Android, but Samsung has much better access to stunning Super AMOLED screens, so we’re hopeful it would include one, like the Samsung Galaxy S and Omnia 7. The report does not confirm rumours that Carphone Warehouse will be the exclusive stockist in the UK, but we’ve got just over a week to wait, so we’ll see either way soon. Is this going to make you think twice about a HTC Desire HD?
