In my daily chatter I usually end up talking to an iPhone app dev or two. Inevitably, at some point in the conversation we start blabbing about features we’d like to see in the App Store. For I don’t know how long now (perhaps even since the App Store launch), devs have had one nagging…
Rumored: Sprint BlackBerry Curve 8530 in Red
I think Sprint may have missed the Valentine’s Day boat on this one. Still, if the standard black and silver facade of today’s typical BlackBerry ain’t your thing, Sprint could indeed be well-served by bringing a new splash of color. Rumor has it that Sprint may have a BlackBerry Curve 8530 in the works, in…
Rogers Galaxy Spica to go for $79.99 on 3-year Contract
Just the other day we found out the Samsung Galaxy ‘Spica’ would be coming to Rogers… an addition like this is quite notable, as it would be the first Android offering on Rogers since the HTC Dream and Magic took hold. While launch date details are still up on the air, I do have some…
BlackBerry 9100 Pearl (Striker) to Have Full QWERTY Keyboard?
OEM parts reseller TrueSupplier is listing the keypad for the unreleased BlackBerry 9100 Pearl, showing this picture of a QWERTY layout – but wait, isn’t the Striker supposed to be SureType (two letters crammed into one key)? Colour me confused, but this doesn’t look anything like what we were expecting to land on TELUS. It’s…
BlackBerry 9100 Pearl (Striker) Coming to TELUS in Pink and Black?
According to tipsters, the BlackBerry Pearl 9100 (code-named Striker) will be coming to Canada’s TELUS in both black and pink paint jobs. If you haven’t had a chance to check out the flurry of prerelease sneak peeks, the new Pearl promises Wi-Fi, 3G (AWS bands included, odds are it’ll run on TELUS’ new HSPA+ network),…
Rumor: WIND Getting the Android-Powered HTC Magic+
If getting a whackload of new Motorola MOTOBLUR-enabled devices wasn’t enough for Canadians… How about another carrier choice for even more Android love? Wouldn’t that be nice? Recently a WIND subscriber reported that the HTC Magic+ showed up when he logged into his account. Granted, this could be easily faked, but still, I wouldn’t put…
BlackBerry Slider Spotted in the Wild
The BlackBerry slider of which we’ve been hearing whispers has made its first public appearance in these two blurry, but telling pictures. As you can see, it’s got a trackpad, a Bold-style fretted keypad, navigation keys in a unified, and a single-button style for the navigation keys much like the Storm2. If we’re to take…
LG LU2300 Android/Snapdragon phone in works
In addition to its Windows Mobile 7 plans, LG also wants a piece of the growing Android pie. So far, they’ve released a single device, GW620 (aka InTouch Max in UK or LinkMe in Italy), which failed to impress many. The plan is to embrace the high-end standards and release an Android 2.1-powered device which…
Archos Android Phone tablet may be scrapped
Early last fall, we caught a glimpse of the Archos Phone Tablet. Expected to be officially revealed at CES earlier this year, the handset never materialized on the floor. Has it been put on the back burner? Or has it been scrapped all together? Promised to run Android OS, sport a 1GHz ARM cortex processor, and…
Netflix ‘Watch Instantly’ video streaming iPhone app on the way?
When Netflix takes surveys, we pay attention. Why? Because it usually indicates that a new product is coming down the the line. Shortly after they polled users about interest in Netflix on the Wii and PS3, we saw the service going live on both gaming consoles. So, when the company that pioneered the mail-order movie…
