This is still not confirmed, so we’re filing it into our “Rumors” section. However, the evidence is clear that Palm has scored a deal with Telefonica-owned O2 Germany as its “partner in crime” to bring the Pixi to Europe’s largest economy. Speaking of evidence, while we don’t have the official word from neither Palm nor…
Android-powered Puma phone to be launched in 2011?
It seems a single device isn’t enough for Puma, and to be fair we’ve already heard a successor (or more of them) is/are coming. But now we’re hearing one of the upcoming devices could be an Android-powered smartphone. We don’t have all the details — it’s still a rumor, after all — but the word…
Vertu Ascent X in works?
Nokia seems to be working on a new member of its luxury Vertu Ascent family of devices. The phone which will apparently be called Ascent X has been spotted while getting a so much needed (in order to be sold in the U.S.) FCC approval. From the document on the Commission’s website, we find out…
iPhone OS 4.0 Houses Car Integration?
iPhone OS 4.0 has within an application that, when hooked up to a video out, shows this kind of user interface. After digging around through some APIs, like ones named IAPSimpleRemoteCarButtonNotification and IAPSimpleRemoteCarButtonTypeKey, we’re led to believe that these iPod Accessory Protocols will enable car accessories for music control. Another hook would enable handsfree commands,…
BlackBerry Pearl 9100 Spotted Running on Telus
The refreshed BlackBerry Pearl 9100 is looking more and more real every day, now with some fresh shots of one of those test devices running on the Telus network. Code-named the Stratus, we haven’t heard much in the way of carrier support in the U.S., though Fido (and presumably Rogers) will also be getting the…
BlackBerry 9800 (Talladega?) Shows up in UAProf
After finding the User Agent Profile for the unannounced BlackBerry 9300, it looks like someone got to digging and found the one for the BlackBerry 9800. It’s listed as having OS 6.0, a 360 x 480 display, and Wi-Fi 802.11n which sounds an awful lot like the BlackBerry slider code-named Talladaga we’ve seen here and…
Mystery MOTOBLUR Handset Pic Leaks Over the Weekend
Hey, hey, it’s mystery device time! The good folks over at DroidDog were apparently sent the above picture by someone who’s story is just a tad… well, let’s say it’s ‘fishy’: “a buddy’s dad works for Motorola and let his son take the phone to school, who, in turn, lent the phone to [a friend]…
Google Branding Removed from Safari Search in iPhone OS 4?
Maybe I’m reading too much into this, but in some recent iPhone OS 4 screenshots I took in this weekend, something struck me as odd. Take a look at the shots above (via MacRumors). Notice anything? That’s right, gone is the ‘Google’ text on the search button, swapped with the much more generic ‘Search’. Interesting,…
Nokia to announce Ovi Maps and Messaging integration tomorrow, no new devices
Nokia put up a count down timer to an event set to kick off in a little under 22 hours, and while fanbois may be foaming at the mouth, expecting to finally hear some information about the N8 that’s been leaked to high heaven, Eldar from Mobile-Review has it under good authority that what we’re…
BlackBerry Pearl 9105 Spotted Next to N1 with T9 Keypad
A render of the upcoming BlackBerry Pearl 9105 had popped up the other day, introducing the possibility of a BlackBerry that eschews both a full QWERTY keypad as well as the predictive SureType format that Pearls have been using for so long. Here we can see both versions of the new Pearl, 9100 on the…
