This is a bit of a shocker but apparently the ill-fated Kin ONE and TWO are slated to re-launch with Verizon in Q4 2010. This rumor arose from PPC Geeks and was reportedly confirmed as legitimate by Engadget’s sources. If you don’t believe it, take a look at leaked slide deck above which lists the Kin…
Remember the glimpse of Samsung’s unannounced Nexus S on Best Buy this morning? Now they’re showing the first picture of the device proper on the front page of their digital newsletter running what looks like Android 2.3. Unfortunately the newsletter doesn’t mention the Nexus S in any helpful capacity, like with specs, but if you…
An evolutionary upgrade to the Dell Streak is apparently in the pipes, according to someone attending a briefing by a company rep. The screen on Dell Opus One will also be 5 inches, but the resolution will be cranked up to 1280 x 800 (from 800 x 480), and the horsepower will be bumped up…
Following up on the RIM’s first slider, the BlackBerry Torch 9800, rumour has it the next one will be smaller and cheaper. The reduced size suggests that such a device would have a condensed keyboard like the Pearl series, but that’s just fun with Photoshop at this point. Exactly how much cheaper we’re talking is…
An anonymous tipster has suggested that the big 3.7″ BlackBerry Storm we saw with a trackpad will in fact be running the operating system made by QNX found in the PlayBook tablet. We were fairly certain this transition was going to happen eventually, and jives well with rumours we had heard back in July. The…
According to the TheStreet, a market research source crunched the estimated sales numbers for Windows Phone and came up with the shockingly low figure of 40,000 as the final tally of handsets that were sold on launch day. This number is based on estimated sales only and was not confirmed by Microsoft, who refused to comment.…
This one’s a rumor folks, but it looks like iOS 4.2 could be hitting your Apple iPhone and iPad this Friday at 10 a.m. PST and it will bring all sorts of goodies like multitasking to the iPad and Airplay. The time makes a lot of sense because the iOS 4.2 gold master was sent…
For those looking to nail down a launch date for RIM’s tablet, Trinidad & Tabago’s TSTT’s Jay Alvi has said they plan on launching the BlackBerry PlayBook this February. That falls in line with RIM’s established early 2011 launch window, and also conveniently lands on the month of Mobile World Congress, where co-CEO Mike Lazaridis…
Some rumours are suggesting that the Storm 3 we had seen a few months ago with a 3.7″ touchscreen and an optical trackpad is codenamed Monaco. Also, the old Dakota/Magnum project that put a touchscreen on the Bold 9000 form factor has been revived as the Montana, apparently. It’s entirely likely that the Montana is…
Just when RIM had pretty much emptied out everything they had been working on lately, like the Style, Bold 9780, and Torch, we’re starting to get wind of the next batch of BlackBerry devices. Vodafone Germany is listing a battery cover for the BlackBerry 9900 in their inventory, which is a device we haven’t really…
