Chip-maker Freescale wants to know who your favorite mobile tech journalists or bloggers are. For the second year in the row, I’ve made the top 20 list, but unlike in 2011, this year Freescale is giving out just 5 awards. If you appreciate the mobile device coverage you’ve read on Liliputing over the last few years, you can vote for…

There are two things that happen every year when I’m at CES, regardless of the mobile devices on display: I run into mobile tech bloggers from around the world unexpectedly, often without even trying. I pick up way more USB flash drives than I know what to do with, since companies love to put their press kits on USB sticks…

2011 may go down in the history books as the year of the Android tablet… but for Liliputing it was clearly the year when people tried to pick up cheap HP TouchPad tablets running webOS software and hack them to run Google Android. When I decided to take a look at the articles that have generated the most traffic over…

Today I’m happy to announce that the new Liliputing page on Google+ is the latest way you can participate in the Liliputing community.

Earlier this year Liliputing quietly celebrated its third birthday. Mobile technology has changed a lot since we started writing about affordable portable computers in 2008. The cost of personal computing devices has come down, netbooks have started to share the spotlight with tablets (to put it kindly), and the line between smartphones, tablets and laptop and desktop computers has gotten…

I’m on the way home from our reader meetup with the folks from Netshelter, Samsung, Android Central, and Phandroid, and I just wanted to thank everyone who came out. I got a chance to meet some great people, play with some great gadgets, and help give away a few goodies. I seriously lost count of the number of phones and…

There’s just a few more days to enter our latest flash drive giveaway. All you have to do for a chance to win is “like” Liliputing on Facebook.
We’ll randomly pick a winner from our Facebok page on Monday.
Of course, there’s nothing stopping you from following us on Facebook or Twitter after the deadline passes.

As the year draws to a close, it seems like as good a time to look back and see some of the changes in the mobile computing space. While netbooks were hot news in 2008 and 2009, 2010 largely became the year of the tablet — or rather the year of the iPad and dozens of other companies promising to…

I’m hoping the answer is no. I’m making some changes to Liliputing’s server tonight and if all goes according to plan you shouldn’t notice anything different — except hopefully pages will start loading a little faster soon.
But if you notice anything broken, please hit the contact button and let me know.

You may have noticed that Liliputing was down for a few hours this morning. After pulling my hair out trying to get to the bottom of things, it turns out that the Disqus comment plugin was causing some problems, so I’ve temporarily disabled it. That means the comment form won’t be as pretty as usual for a little while, but…

While the Computex trade show in Taiwan is at the center of the mobile tech world this week, Google has kind of dominated the headlines for the past few weeks with announcements about Android 2.2 Froyo, Google TV, and other tech. This week I spoke with Saul Kropman of the Digital Edge podcast to discuss the Google v. Apple approach…
