Breaking news, information, and analysis on the latest mobile phones and mobile technology
Yesterday AT&T announced the Motorola Atrix 4G, but the Android 2.2 monster will be hitting shores elsewhere too. To the north, Canada’s Bell Mobility scored an exclusive, though they don’t give us any indication of pricing or availability dates. Orange UK on the other hand told us it would be available in Q2. The funny…
One of the more overlooked announcement at AT&T’s CES event this morning was the HTC Freestyle, a lower-end feature phone running Brew MP. Although it’s not technically a smartphone, it runs Sense and AT&T is aiming to provide apps for the platform. Whatever it takes to get ’em using data, right AT&T? The Freestyle has…
We were expecting to see the Sony Ericsson Xperia X12 at CES this week, and prior to any official announcement, two full marketing videos and a batch of stills has squeaked their way out. As previously speculated, the Xperia Arc (a.k.a. Anzu) will have a Bravia-quality display, which they’re calling the Reality Display, and will…
At AT&T’s CES developer event today, they showed off some work they’ve done with the iPad U-verse app, with a new feature called ComplemenTV. When paired up with a TV via Wi-Fi using DLNA, the iPad automatically showed extra information on whatever show was being watched (like links to related stuff on Amazon). It could…
Among the few mobile announcements in LG’s press conference at CES this morning was a new 4.3-inch WVGA display that provides the full 3D experience without the goofy-looking glasses. Odds are we’ll see these screens in LG smartphones at some point in the distant future, but as a big name display manufacturer, it wouldn’t be…
The HTC Inspire 4G has been announced at AT&T’s CES event today, running Android with the usual Sense customizations, though HTC’s CEO remained sketchy about hard specs. The Inspire 4G includes a new feature called Fastboot which turns the phone on in a mere second or two. It also brings for the first time to…
Nuance, a big name in voice recognition, has launched a custom keyboard for Android called FlexT9, which comes with four different modes of input. First, it has the traditional tap-to-type keyboard that we’re all pretty familiar with. Secondly, it has a distinctly Swype-esque gesture-based input where you trace lines between the keys you want to…
At CES today, LG announced two LTE products that work on Verizon’s new 4G network. The WM300 and L2000 aren’t broadband dongles, but rather chipsets that work for machine-to-machine connectivity. That means these modules will mostly be used for fixed enterprise assets that require high-speed wireless connectivity. Any businesses that have been really hurting for…
RIM just launched a new program today called Built for BlackBerry, which will aim to support, promote, and certify accessories with a recognizable logo. If that sounds a lot like the Made for iPhone program, it’s because it is. The Built for BlackBerry program provides “technical, strategic and marketing support” to some of the inaugural…
We have our fingers crossed for the launch of Sony Ericsson’s PlayStation phone at CES, but even if it doesn’t go public until MWC next month, it looks like the Xperia X12, code-named Anzu, will most likely be announced this week. A few banners around the Las Vegas Convention Center are showing a glimpse of…
