FCC clears Magellan iPhone car kit
Posted on November 23, 2009 3:50 AM
Magellan's iPhone car kit has been given clearance by the FCC just a few days after it was discovered. Apart from that, the holder itself seems pretty decent to look at, although we are kept guessing as to the functions of the LED lens and rear slide button.

Looks like another FCC filing has leaked out, this time pointing towards the upcoming Lenovo IdeaPad W701 which is touted to come with an Intel Core i7 2GHz processor, a 320GB hard drive from Fujitsu, a Samsung-originated 17" WUXGA (1,920 x 1,200) display, 8MB of L3 cache and possibly a price which is sky high when released.
FCC looks at Lenovo IdeaPad Pineview netbook
Posted on November 16, 2009 8:56 AM
The FCC has already gotten their grubby fingers all over the Lenovo IdeaPad Pineview netbook - just take a look at all the fingerprints located at the bottom segment of the netbook! It will rely on an Intel Pineview 1.66GHz processor which will most probably be the Atom N450, coupled with 2GB RAM and a 250GB hard-drive. It will most probably hit the market sometime at the beginning of next year onwards, so stay tuned.
FCC looks at Mobinnova Beam
Posted on November 13, 2009 9:05 PM
The Mobinnova Beam has made a trip to the FCC, where it has been listed in the FCC database with a device ID of BEAMATT. Apart from the confirmation that it might make it Stateside, we don't have any further information on this. Hopefully more light will be shed on the Mobinnova Beam when CES 2010 rolls around.
Sony could integrate TransferJet into Memory Stick Pro cards
Posted on November 13, 2009 9:04 PM
Word has it that Sony recently applied with the FCC concerning its AK8MSJX8G, which is basically the MS-JX8G Memory Stick Duo card. What makes this MS Duo card interesting is the fact that it will be associated with the TransferJet service, which means it could very well be the first MS Duo card with TransferJet technology built in on the market.
802.11n access point arrives at the FCC
Posted on November 6, 2009 10:44 AM
Our friends at the FCC have gotten their mittens on a new AN0100 802.11n AP, and although there is no instruction manual available or whether this is the crucial missing link required for streaming networked media to the TV via a TiVo set, we're totally amazed by the sheer size of this thing, or rather, the lack of it. After all, just take a look at it on your right and pinch yourself. It hurts, yes?
Dell Mini 3iX Hits The FCC
Posted on November 6, 2009 4:08 AM
You saw a picture of the Dell Mini 3iX over in Brazil a couple of days back, and now the Mini 3iX has taken the time to pay the FCC a visit (and get its approval). Sporting 850/1900 GSM and UMTS bands, the phone will also sport Wi-Fi, a 3.5-inch touchscreen display with 640 x 360 resolution, A-GPS, 3-megapixel camera and also support for Microsoft Exchange. There isn't any mention what version of Android will be bundled on the phone, but we're hoping that it's going to be at least Android 2.0.

Nokia X3 approved by the FCC
Posted on November 3, 2009 5:10 PM
Folks at the FCC have delibrated over approving the Nokia X3, and suffice to say their delibrations has resulted in a positive response, which means we could very well be looking at the X3's release Stateside pretty soon although nothing's been confirmed just yet. This Symbian S40-powered handset will come with Bluetooth 2.1 connectivity, an integrated stereo FM radio, stereo speakers, dedicated music keys, a 3.5mm headset jack, a 2.2" QVGA display, a 3.2-megapixel camera and a microSD memory card slot. For a ballpark figure of its price, our European counterparts can bring home the X3 for €115 ($169) unlocked.
FCC unveils netbook prototype from Lenovo
Posted on November 2, 2009 7:00 AM
Looks like Lenovo has a new netbook according to a FCC filing from hardware assembler Wistron. We do know that it will come with a 10.1" display, a 3-in-1 memory card reader and Bluetooth, Wi-Fi and HSDPA connectivity. No idea on what kind of processor will be used, and neither is there any idea on storage options.
FlipShareTV from Cisco
Posted on October 30, 2009 8:57 AM
Cisco has announced the FlipShareTV, although there is nothing on the release date and pricing information to date apart from a brief explanation of how it functions. "Previously recorded video, accessed on a computer via FlipShare software, is wirelessly streamed via the FlipShareTV USB stick to the small FlipShareTV box and controlled via remote." Strangely enough, the FlipShareTV seems to take up much more physical space with a 3-piece set to perform a pretty basic task by today's standards. Hopefully there is more than meets the eye that we do not know of yet until it finally hits the market.
FCC takes a look at Asus Eee PC 1008PGO netbook with 3G
Posted on October 28, 2009 9:14 AM
The folks at the FCC are currently scrutinizing the Asus Eee PC 1008PGO netbook with 3G connectivity, where it will feature the usual suspects such as an Intel Atom N450 processor, 1GB RAM, a 1.3-megapixel webcam and a 160GB hard drive alongside Bluetooth 2.1 and 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi connectivity. The screen size is not mentioned, but chances are it will follow the footsteps of the Eee PC 1008HA, which translates to a 10.1" display at 1,024 x 600 resolution. No idea on whether this will be coming Stateside or not since the majority of 3G-enabled netbooks from Asus did not make it to date save for Europe and Asia regions.
FCC approved Motorola Droid
Posted on October 25, 2009 11:05 PM
Motorola's Droid smartphone has just passed the scrutiny of folks at the FCC, where it will soon hit the market via AT&T with its widespread 3G network, playing catch up with the GSM version that made it past FCC hurdles a few days back. Any of you out there going to make the upgrade to this handset?

Posted on October 21, 2009 9:28 PM

The former will function on the 850/1900 GSM and 850/1900 WCDMA bands, which means it will most probably arrive via AT&T should it hit the US, complete with an AMOLED touchscreen display, GPS support, Wi-Fi connectivity and a 3.2-megapixel camera. As for the Samsung R860, this model boasts 1700MHz AWS connectivity and CDMA/EV-DO support.

The folks at the FCC have given their nod of approval for the LG KF700 to be released, where it will support AT&T bands despite the mobile carrier not revealing anything about bringing this handset to the masses anytime soon. Features of the LG KF700 include a sliding keypad, a WQVGA resolution display at 240 x 400 resolution with the very high possibility of a touchscreen display to keep up with the times.

Posted on October 12, 2009 8:11 AM
The FCC is currently looking into the Asus Eee Keyboard, and we have managed to garner the following information concerning the upcoming keyboard-like PC which will come with a 5" touchscreen display at 800 x 480 resolution, alongside an Intel Atom 1.6GHz processor, Broadcom's AV-VD905 video processor, 1GB RAM, achoice between 16GB and 32GB of internal storage space with Windows XP running the show, operating system-wise. HDMI and VGA outputs lets you hook this up to a large screen, while other connectivity features include Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and gigabit Ethernet. The Eee Keyboard is tipped to be out sometime this month originally, with no word on pricing.
FCC Questions Google Voice Call Blocker
Posted on October 10, 2009 6:54 AM
It looks like the FCC is looking deeper into the details of Google’s Google Voice offering, specifically it wants information on how Google Voice calls are routed, how the restrictions are implemented, and how it identifies the telephone numbers which it restricts calls. This bit of news should be certainly welcome to AT&T, which has been against the whole Google Voice idea from the start, though we can certainly understand why. If it does work out nicely for Google in the end, we’re fairly sure it will increase competition and we (the users) will benefit in the long run.
FCC approves Sony Ericsson Xperia Pureness
Posted on October 2, 2009 12:04 PM
The FCC has just given their nod of approval to the Sony Ericsson Xperia Pureness, leaving us to scratch our heads on why is 3G connectivity supported since the transparent screen itself would probably drain battery life like mad, leaving little time for lengthy media streaming sessions and Web browsing on it. Still, we're curious to see how the Pureness works in real life, and hopefully it will make it as an unlocked handset to Sony Style stores.
FCC looks at Flip Video Remote
Posted on October 2, 2009 11:43 AM
The Flip Video has been pretty successful since its launch, and now we have an accessory for it that just made an appearance on the FCC where it is known as the Flip Video Remote. It will come in an extremely simple-looking design without much fanfare, although we're not too sure just what the main idea for this device would be. Guess time would solve all things in this case.
Apple Bluetooth keyboard and mouse head for FCC
Posted on October 2, 2009 11:30 AM
The FCC has just started to take a look at a new Apple Bluetooth keyboard and mouse combo that have been slapped with model numbers A1314 and A1296, respectively. Just in case you're interested, the current wireless keyboard is A1255 while the Mighty Mouse is A1197. The keyboard dimensions are smaller than that of a current model, which probably means that the numeric keypad won't be making a return here. Strangely enough, these images lasted but for moments on the FCC filings, while revised images have been put up which cropped out relevant FCC labeling without removing the model numbers. According to Apple Insider, the aluminum mouse is but speculation, which could mean a plastic mouse in the end as well. What do you think?
