01/20/2010, 3D technology is always interesting, and when you combine that with Satellite maps, things are bound to get interesting. The folks over at Ericsson Labs have uploaded a video demonstrating their new 3D Landscape API which is running on the XPERIA X10. The best is part, no matter how much panning, tilting and zooming is going on the video, the video output stays smooth, no doubt thanks to the 1GHz […]

01/20/2010, Could the successor to the HTC Magic be a device that sports a QWERTY keyboard? If you’ve caught sight of the recent user agent profile from HTC, it certainly seems like a possibility. According to the user profile, you can easily see the existence of a QWERTY keyboard in the details. With Google preparing to launch more phones under its Nexus brand, could this be another Google phone, or is […]

01/20/2010, Most of us are so used to using Google to search for things on the iPhone that alternatives probably never cropped into mind. But with Google and Apple competing on similar fronts more often than not now, it shouldn’t be too much of a surprise to hear that Apple is in talks with Microsoft to make Bing the default search engine for the iPhone. This still in a rumor at […]

01/20/2010, It is a common complaint among Nexus One users (read our review) that they have problems connecting to T-Mobile’s 3G network, but nice to know that enterprising users always have a workaround or fix before something official is released. Here’s one that does not require advanced coding knowledge or tampering with the handset which might void its warranty – all you need to do is follow the instructions below and […]

01/20/2010, T-Mobile is going to roll out a refreshed model of the myTouch 3G this coming February 10th. Just what changes can you expect? Sad to say you will have to settle for a singular version of the noun, especially when it involves the addition of a 3.5mm headset jack. Yup, that’s it. On the bright side, you will be able to enjoy your favorite tunes over a pair of your […]

01/19/2010, Some rumors just won’t die off, and it’s hard to tell if this rumor has gained a new lease of life, or is spurred on by the recent launching of Google’s Nexus One. We’re talking about the Project Pink, or Zune Phone, that was rumored a while back. Now Jefferies analyst, Katherine Egbert, states that industry checks indicate that Microsoft will be debuting its own phone, sometime in the next […]

01/19/2010, An OTA (over-the-air) update for the Motorola Droid has been released, though unfortunately it isn’t the Android 2.1 update that we’ve all been craving for. From what users have gleaned, it seems that this update is focused more towards Facebook, as it enabled Facebook users to update the app via Android Market, and it seems to solve the issue of users experiencing data corruption when updating their Facebook profiles. If […]

01/19/2010, It seems that HTC has suspended the work on its tablet computer, which doesn’t seem like very good news to us. The folks over at Channel News have quoted Anthony Petts, HTC’s sales and marketing director, as saying that the company will be focusing their efforts on a new generation of mobile phones. When talking about a bunch of new mobile phones, you can safely bet that a whole lot […]

01/19/2010, Gigabyte’s maiden attempt in the world of Android-powered smartphones has been pictured, where it will still remain within the GSmart series of devices that have all along boasted the bloodline of Windows Mobile. We would think that the slow but steady demise of Microsoft’s mobile operating platform has prompted a shift in allegiance for Gigabyte, and their latest handset certainly points toward that assumption. Running on Android 1.6, this GSmart […]

01/19/2010, It looks like AT&T won’t be able to surprise many folks with a Palm Pre Plus and Pixi Plus announcement, as web logs of the devices running on IP addresses from AT&T have been spotted. These phones are most likely GSM versions of the devices, and it seems that they were running webOS 1.3.8, which is an unreleased and unannounced build. It’s highly probable that 1.3.8 is a test version […]

01/19/2010, Is fashion house Versace that starved for money that they have to take the route of other labels to come up with a cellphone? Guess so, as Versace cuddles up to ModeLabs to announce a new range of luxury handsets. Expect the first of potentially many Versace phones to be showcased in Paris later this month, although it won’t arrive Stateside until spring this year. We don’t know much about […]

01/19/2010, Guess the Motorola Clip has already caught the attention of Chinese clone manufacturers in the form of the Rola V19. It looks like an exact Clip clone, but you can bet your bottom dollar that this won’t run on Android. Powered by a MTK chipset, you get a 3″ WQVGA touchscreen display, dual SIM slots, an integrated FM radio, a front-facing camera for video calls and a side QWERTY keyboard. […]

01/19/2010, Motorola’s recently announced MOTOROI is set to hit Stateside this coming March, and we could probably see it be made available via Verizon Wireless. While the MOTOROI lacks a physical keyboard like the Droid (read our review), many people are already looking forward to the MOTOROI’s performance in usurping the Droid. Granted, it does look pretty solid in terms of construction and build, where you get a full touchscreen display, […]

01/19/2010, NTT DoCoMo has come up with a “prototype eight-band power amplifier” for cellphones that is touted to cover frequencies which range from 700MHz to 2.5GHz. To make things even more interesting, it will also include the upcoming LTE (Long Term Evolution) networks. To put it in layman’s terms, this could possibly herald the first all-in-one cellphone which will play nice with both W-CDMA and GSM networks, alongsinde future LTE networks. […]
