NTT DoCoMo and NEC recently announced the Medias N-04C in Japan, which is a mere 7.7 mm thick and weighs only 105 G. As you can see, when lined up next to it, the N-04C makes the 9.3 mm-thick iPhone 4 look like it needs to lay off the donuts. That wasn’t the only thing…
As expected, Sprint has announced their first Windows Phone, which you might recognize as the HTC 7 Pro, but they’re calling it the Arrive. The name change was rumoured last month along with the Kyocera Echo, and doesn’t strike me as a bad move at all. The Arrive has a 1 GHz processor, 3.6-inch WVGA…
A tweet from the Roseville California Best Buy has informed us that the much-anticipated HTC ThunderBolt won’t be hitting shelves until March 4, despite expectations of a launch before the end of the month. Unfortunate, but the minor delay will be little more than an irritation for those itching to get their hands on Verizon’s…
IHS has just published some research on much revenue was made through the Android Market, iPhone App Store, Nokia Ovi Store, and BlackBerry App World in 2010. Predictably, the iPhone App Store is still the king of the hill with $1.7 billion in revenue, but they’ve lost some market share since 2009 (82% vs. 92%).…
The oh-so-very-awesome Adult Swim station has released a free app for iPhone and iPad that features full episodes of some excellent shows, like Venture Bros., The Boondocks, Robot Chicken, Metalocalypse, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Squidbillies, and lots more. Adult Swim is no stranger to games on the iPhone, either; they’ve pumped out some quality titles…
Google’s very own video codec baby, WebM, came to Android along with NFC support in the 2.3.3 update last night, according to a multimedia support chart on the Android developer site. This update took a little bit longer to launch than expected, but I don’t think anyone was especially clamoring for support of this video format…
The 7digital music store and media player for Android has been updated to 1.5 with a handful of new features. If you’re the type to share your tunes, you’ll probably be familiar with Last.fm scrobbling, which is now included in the app. You can also set the app as the default media player and play…
Twitter for BlackBerry has been updated in the Beta Zone to 1.1, enabling a host of new features to the RIM-built social networking app. The biggest feature is one I’ve been waiting for since the official app first came out – geotagging support. Now your tweets can have your location included, unless that’s just a…
The RIM-owned company QNX has tweaked out a 2009 Corvette which lets the BlackBerry PlayBook change the car’s internal temperature through an app. Why would you want to do that if there’s already an in-car console to handle climate control? I dunno, maybe someone in the passenger seat is a little chilly and couldn’t be…
Samsung has apparently confirmed that the Galaxy S 2 and Tab 10.1, both announced at Mobile World Congress, will be able to talk to Samsung TVs over a secondary tuner to stream video to the portables. Currently supported TV models include the D7000 and D8000, with more likely coming in the future. The Samsung Galaxy…
