| Huawei Android Phone, Coming to T-Mobile Posted: 08 Apr 2009 04:08 PM PDT  That was recently confirmed by a Huawei spokesperson recently quoted saying:
We spotted the phone earlier this year at , but at the time, it was turned off and besides for its existence and the fact that it was running Android, there was little information about it. Furthermore, the design that was shown at MWC won’t be identical to what T-Mobile is going to get. Note that Huawei call this phone the “third” Android device from T-Mobile, and while the second has not been announced, HTC is one more time at the top of the list of candidates. Permalink: |
| Acer Aspire One 11.6-inch Notebook Posted: 08 Apr 2009 03:45 PM PDT
Netbooks keep growing in size, basically to affect two purchase variables: comfort and battery life. With the Aspire One 11.6″ Netbook, Acer hopes to continue its successful venture in this space. With a thickness of about 1″, the Aspire One 11.6 be perceived as an ultraportable computer, but one with a more comfortable keyboard and display. The trackpad seems to have been improved too: it is larger and has support for multi-touch. We think that the internal components will stay close to what Netbooks have been until now. Acer thinks that 6-Cell battery can last for about 8 hours. Permalink: |
| LCD-Infused Policarbonate Body Would Enable Customizable Car Designs Posted: 08 Apr 2009 03:31 PM PDT
We’re all accustomed to the idea of customizable faceplates for phones or even computers. But what if we could extend it to cars? The concept relies on the ability for the car surface to display an image (or nothing, if you want it to be translucent) - think of the car’s body as a big, curved display. For any given models, there would be many templates available, not even mentioning that ones you can make yourself. finally, the design can be updated wirelessly and shared on the web? Self-expression or hiding after a bank heist, all usages are out there. Remember, this is just a concept. Permalink: |

We used to play Silent Scope in the Arcades a while ago, but it is an interesting surprise to see that Konami will adapt it to the iPhone. In the arcade game, the main challenge was to use track where the adversary was (using the monitor) and aim accurately at moving targets (with the scope). We have not seen the actual game yet, but we suspect that users will have to select between scope mode and view mode on the iPhone. Stay tuned. Permalink: |
| Rumor: Barnes & Noble set to make eBook Reader? Posted: 08 Apr 2009 03:07 PM PDT
Apparently, this rumor stems from CTIA last week, where there were reports floating around that B&N wants to have their own reader that’s very similar to the Kindle and uses a cellular carrier. The first company the bookstore was supposedly in talks with was Verizon, but now Sprint seems to be the more likely option. Funnily enough, Sprint is Amazon’s current partner, so we’ll just have to see how that goes. There are some whispers of AT&T being an option, as well. But again, we’ll just have to wait and see. Because who knows? It may turn out where none of it is true. Relevant Entries on SlashGear |
| Palm Pre and similar devices are changing the mobile phone landscape Posted: 08 Apr 2009 02:49 PM PDT We might as well stop calling them phones and start calling them ultra-ultra-ultra portable computers. Maybe not. The gap between the capabilities of computers and cell phones is getting smaller and smaller thanks to devices like the Palm Pre and the iPhone. Another gap is closing up too: the divide between consumer and professional devices. Normally, the demand for consumer phones outweighed the demand for professional PDA-like devices. Thanks to the iPhone and the internet, more consumers are relying on access to information at any time during their daily routine, increasing the demand for devices that can support this sort of information addiction. As a result, normal consumers like yours-truly are looking for devices that can meet this need, and we turn to phones like the iPhone and the Palm Pre. These phones are becoming integral parts of our lives, and are extending beyond the capabilities of previous phones. It is going to get to the point where the Palm Pre will know my schedule better than I do, and will inform me when I forget a meeting or appointment. With this capability, users are going to be relying on their phones even more, and companies are going to produce more phones with these functions. Feature phones and dumb-phones are slowly becoming more and more like their smartphone cousins as more consumers want the capabilities normally reserved for the business user. High end devices are no longer pricey luxuries for those with too much money; they’re now necessities for anyone who has a life on the internet (aka my generation and every generation after it). They’re not mobile phones anymore, they’re pocket sized computers, and the availability of the Palm Pre and others is driving a market-wide shift in demand for these feature-rich smart phones. I got a good look at Kyocera/Sanyo’s next entry into the low-cost, high-volume market. Even it has a full QWERTY keyboard. Every new phone that AT&T launched just last week had a QWERTY keyboard. Every phone has the capability to go onto the internet, text, and send MMS (oops, sorry iPhone, you can be included in June). There are features that have become staples of the mobile phone market, and the list of these features is increasing daily. And why not? Low-end device consumers want the functionality of the more expensive phones, and slowly, the capabilities are trickling down to those less-expensive devices. The Palm Pre and iPhone themselves are Pro-sumer devices; made for both worlds, and well suited in either. More of these phones have been popping up as manufacturers realize that there are a dwindling number of niche markets. There are basically four left: texting teenagers, internet-savy consumers, business/crackberry types, and technophobes. The first three markets can easily be satisfied by the same device with a plethora of features and capabilities that the user can customize and use to their own ends. The technophobes are going to want their simple clamshell no matter what, and there will always be simple devices. Yet we might be seeing even less variance in next-gen devices as they try to copy features that the iPhone and Palm Pre made popular. Relevant Entries on SlashGear |
| Super Talent MasterDrive RX 512GB SSD now available Posted: 08 Apr 2009 02:38 PM PDT And today is the day of the solid state drive. Or at least, it would seem that way. First, Corsair announced their their latest product: a 512GB SSD.
Officially called the Super Talent MasterDrive RX 512GB SSD, this device really packs a punch. It features MLC NAND flash and some incredible read/write rates at 230MB/s and 200MB/s, respectively. So, of course we’re all pretty impressed by this, and it would be great to get our hands on one of these, but there’s just one catch. The MasterDrive RX costs $1,499.99. And though it is available right now, I foresee a lot of waiting around to save up cash for this one. DailyTech Relevant Entries on SlashGear |
