Insanity: Locked Out Imagine that you're a loyal Google fanboy. You've had an Android phone in your pocket for as long as you can remember, and buy a new one every 8 months (at least). You believe that other search engines don't work. You died a bit when Buzz and Reader were killed, but you bought the rationale behind it. If a video isn't on YouTube, you don't watch it.

Honda dips its toes in cargo delivery micromobility

techcrunch.com Tim De Chant 2026-03-16 23:30:00

Walk around a big city like New York or Amsterdam long enough and you’re bound to notice something: tiny four-wheeled cargo carriers zipping down bike lanes. These battery-assisted vehicles, often called e-quads, are distinct from cargo e-bikes, which tend to be geared toward households. E-quads are larger and sport enclosed cargo holds, making them a darling of delivery companies, including Amazon and UPS, allowing them to sidestep congestion that bogs down regular box trucks.

Ryan Haines / Android Authority I often find myself shuffling between phones — sometimes as frequently as switching handsets every week. And I make sure to replicate my home screen layout on each Android phone so that I don’t feel unfamiliar when switching and my muscle memory doesn’t act up either.

Donald Trump is launching a phone called Trump Mobile, which comes with wireless plans (starting at $47.25) and even a phone called the T1 Phone. During the announcement event at Trump Tower in New York City, Donald Trump Jr. said they were building something for “people who have been underserved,” and to “make sure that real Americans could get true value from their mobile carriers.” (Trump Mobile’s only plan is roughly double that of eq

5% Mortgage Rates Are Real. How Homebuyers Are Making It Happen

cnet.com See Full Bio 2026-03-17 07:15:04

Tharon Green/CNET Over the last several years, record-high home prices and high mortgage rates have made homeownership unaffordable. As 30-year fixed mortgage rates remain flat near 7%, homebuyers have been finding creative ways to score rates below what lenders advertise. Last year, nearly half of buyers purchased a home at a rate below 5%, according to Zillow. "With borrowing costs elevated, buyers can take steps to reduce their housing expenses by securing a lower mortgage rate," said Hann

Nothing Phone 3 leak reveals it’s not a full-blown flagship after all

The best Android phones of 2025: Expert tested and reviewed

The best Android phones in 2025 feature different models from multiple brands. That's the beauty of the current phone market, which spans from the best foldable phones, like the Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold and Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 6, that challenge the status quo, to cheap phones, like the CMF Phone 2 Pro and Google Pixel 9a, that cater to consumers on a budget.
