Video: Half a decade in the making, the Nokia 808 PureView
Nokia’s 41 megapixel cameraphone, the 808 PureView, will start shipping later this month in a handful of countries. It’s going to cost well over 600 Euros, which is ridiculous for a Symbian smartphone, but Nokia hopes that once you know a little something about how the camera works that it will be impossible to say no to this thing. The Finnish handset maker recently released a video that’s dedicated to the roughly 400 people who worked on the PureView over the past five years to do just that. They detail … Read more

Watch a magician serve German beer using an iPad
What’s better than an iPad or a glass filled to the rim with beer? It’s an iPad that can serve a full glass of beer from a seemingly never-empty keg, of course. In the video below, you can watch magician and artist Simon Pierro put on a show at the world famous German “Hofbraeuhaus” in Munich, Germany. Much to everyone’s amazement, Pierro serves some fine German beer using only an iPad and a stick-on tap.

ZTE Score ships with major security flaw
ZTE, best known for being one of the biggest mobile phone manufacturers in China, recently launched the Score in the United States. Well, it looks like the company isn’t getting off to a very good start. It just confirmed a security hole in the device that could potentially allow others to remotely control it. The so-called backdoor was being used by ZTE to update the phone’s software. It seems this vulnerability is the result of careless programming. “I have never seen this before,” said Dmitri Alperovitch, co-founder of security startup CrowdStrike. … Read more

HTC Amaze 4G Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich update now live
We filled you in on the details a few days ago about the Amaze 4G’s upcoming Ice Cream Sandwich update, and it’s now officially available through T-Mobile.

Google acquisition of Motorola to close this week
After finally getting approved by China, Google’s purchase of Motorola Mobility should close within two business days, Motorola said in a filing. This nearly $13 billion dollar deal will take about nine full months to close as regulators had to take a close look at if the maker of Android buying a handset company was copacetic. China only agreed to the deal if Google agreed to keep Android free and open for at least five years, so we can look forward to that. It’s unclear what the immediate next steps … Read more

Apple and Samsung begin court-appointed mediation
Apple CEO Tim Cook and Samsung CEO Choi Gee-sung will be sitting down this week as part of a court-ordered mediation between the two companies, according to a Reuters report. Back in April, the warring companies were ordered by a federal judge to appear in a court-supervised mediation to attempt to settle their differences before their cases against each other come to trial later this year. Apple claims that Samsung “slavishly copied” the iPhone and iPad when creating its Android Galaxy line of devices. Samsung is counter-claiming that Apple copied some of … Read more

UK Hot Deal: HTC One X available for free on a 12-month 36 GBP/month Vodafone contract!
Talk about a hot deal. UK phone retailer Phones 4U is offering the brand new HTC One X for free on a 36 GBP/month plan.

T-Mobile’s Samsung Galaxy S III hits the FCC
We did know T-Mobile will be one of the U.S. carriers to offer the shiny new Samsung Galaxy S III. Their specific version of the device, marked as T999, has not only crossed the FCC hurdle, but has also be spotted at Bluetooth SIG (while its Wi-Fi certificate has been issued before). What this means is that Samsung is finalizing paperwork for the Big Day, which will (as promised) take place at some point this summer. We’ve no idea whether the Magenta carrier will change the name of the phone … Read more
