And we thought the Acer Iconia Tab A200 will be an affordable tablet? It may turn to be the case but not in Russia where, according to Mobile-Review, it will sell for 14,990 rubles (about $470). Yep it’s the same 10.1-inch device with a dual-core processor we’ve seen getting FCC’s seal of approval in October…
Ok we get it – there’s no time to launch the brand-new LG Prada 3.0 phone in time for the Christmas shopping season, but I expected it to hit the fancy store shelves in January 2012. I was so wrong with LG saying it will be released in February. About at the same time we…
Mobile video service Tango launched two new features – Video Messages and Tango Surprises. The first of the two allows users to record and send high-quality video content to their friends so that even when a Tango call is missed, people can leave a video message to “complete the experience.” The new feature works across…
Samsung has made a new version of the S Pen SDK available, allowing developers to take advantage of the Galaxy Note’s built-in stylus. In this release, the configuration classes and APIs for the pen and eraser have been added, as well as CanvasView APIs. More precisely, here’s what’s new: Added PenSettingInfo class – so developers…
Orange’s San Francisco II will soon be available in white. Such a device already “earned” a place at the carrier’s “Coming Soon” page though we still don’t know when exactly it will be released. Aside from a different color, there won’t be any other changes included. In that sense, expect the same 3.5-inch WVGA touchscreen,…
Xiaomi isn’t exactly a household name, but they’re well on their way to becoming one. Back in September they released an Android smartphone called the MI-ONE (pictured above, right). Like nearly every other Android device on the market, it doesn’t run stock Android. Instead it runs a fairly popular custom Android ROM called MIUI. If…
If you’re a) living in the UK, and b) want the Motorola RAZR – now’s the time to act. Phones 4U is offering the sexy smartphone for free with… (drums please)… 26 GBP per month contract that lasts just 18 months! You’ve read that correctly – it’s 18 NOT 24 months! Of course, you won’t…
Earlier this week we saw Samsung announce their plans to update select Android devices in their existing product portfolio to Android Ice Cream Sandwich by the end of Q1 2012, most notably the Samsung Galaxy S II. Now it’s Sony Ericsson’s turn, and we’re sad to report that they’re moving at a much slower pace.…
Mozilla has just released Firefox 9.0 for both the desktop and for Android devices. Besides being faster, less prone to crashes, and the things you’d usually associate with newer versions of browsers, what makes 9.0 special is that it finally supports tablets. The key question on our minds is of course what’s so special about…
Sony Ericsson, soon to be just plain ol’ Sony, is going to release a device in 2012 that’s currently codenamed LT28at. A description of it showed up on the Bluetooth SIG’s website, which says that the LT28at is a “super phone” that has a 4.55 inch 720p resolution display, 13 megapixel camera with a backside…
