How To’s

Earlier HTC Tweeted: “Here is a rundown on the coming software update for the Nexus One. It’s rolling out OTA starting today.” Apparently this update will include the following features: Google Goggles Integration New version of Google Maps Pinch to Zoom functionality in maps, gallery, and browser! (This is a biggy 🙂 And better 3G connectivity (thank goodness) Head over to the report site for more information: Source PS: FOR THOSE WITH A ROOTED NEXUS, you might want to not get the OTA and just wait for the OTA to be incorporated into a custom ROM (in all likelihood it […]

Seems like it, according to Gizmodo. The Gizmodo writer says that his old editor who works at MuyComputer.com (someone he trusts), has divulged that the Zune-like Windows Mobile 7 phone(s) will 100% confirmed be launched at MWC. Another thing he has confirmed is that it will sport the NVIDIA Tegra (monster chipset FYI) and have a 480 x 272 touchscreen, HDMI video out, and weigh just 2.46 ounces (for comparison, an iPhone 3GS weighs 4.76 with a similar net pixel count screen). Curiouser and curiouser.

Now, if these rumors are true, this might be the next Android phone to beat… 4.3″ Capacitive Screen (854 x 480 pixels) HDMI Port 8MP Camera (capable of 1080P Recording) QWERTY Keyboard Android 2.1 OR HIGHER (maybe Froyo?) Here are the pics floating around the internet: So the rumor is that this could also be the Nexus Two (or whatever they will call it). Judging by the specs, it sure could be but time will tell. Opinions on this bad boy? Source

So when will more snapdragon phones come out you ask? Well, seems Samsung is about to join the ranks. The Samsung Galaxy 2 had some photos leak onto the internet recently and it’s specs as well: 1GHz Snapdragon 3.7 inch AMOLED Capacitive Screen 5 MP Camera 32GB of Internal Memory Android 2.1 3.5MM Jack GPS, WiFi, Bluetooth So do the specs remind you of another phone out already, ehem Nexus? I’m curious as to why these companies like to bring out the same devices with different bodies. But hey one thing people can hope for is different 3G bands, perhaps

Ok, so if it is one thing I miss from the Nokia N900 that my Nexus One doesn’t have (or any other phone for that matter) is a good desktop-like browser. The browser on the N900 is hands down the best I’ve used on a mobile device (but I won’t get into that right now), and things like Flash, plug-ins, and some form of an one screen mouse (for those flash games/sites that require a mouse for hovering to bring up controls) are things I find myself missing on a daily basis using other browsers. Well, the makers of the

Motorola’s co-CEO Sanjay Jha confirmed that they will be making at least one Android phone for Google to sell at Google.com/phone. He did not deny or confirm whether the name Nexus would be used on the new device but the rumors right now are that the next phone to hit Google’s phone page is another Nexus but with a keyboard etc. so it is possible that this could be the device, but no way to know for sure at the moment.

TmoNews was sent pictures of the new Motorola mid-range Android phone, the Zeppelin. The Zeppelin is supposedly headed to T-Mobile US and has the following specs: 3.2″ HVGA Touchscreen 5.0MP Camera GPS, BlueTooth, WiFi Android and MotoBLUR Seems like another CLIQ to me… when will we see some hardcore Android phones on Magenta? (Or anyone else for that matter). Source

Ok so Apple made their big announcement today about the Apple iPad (lame name I know, but eh what can you do). Here’s the low down so far: Specifications: Weighs 1.5 lbs 9.7 inch Capacitive LCD Screen 1Ghz Processor Speaker Microphone Wifi (N Wireless) Bluetooth Compass Accelerometer Keyboard Dock USB Connector SD Card Reader 1024×768 VGA OUT 480p Composite OUT Pricing: $499 for the 16GB Wifi Only Model $599 for the 32GB Wifi Only Model $699 for the 64GB Wifi Only Model Adding 3G to any of the models adds $130. Availability: The Wifi Models will be available in about

So rumor has it that Sprint is joing the sexy Android party that’s been going on. The HTC Supersonic is supposedly a 4.3 inch AMOLED capacitive screen, WiMaxx enabled, snapdragon powered Android device. You likey? Ya me too. Here is a leaked pic from BGR: Source

According to sources at Engadget, they were sent a rendering of a new handset dubbed the Motorola Motosplit. This is supposedly an Android device with a Snapdragon processor and a very rare body style. The phone will open similar to some old Nokias I remember, and will have two flaps each containing half of the keypad open like French doors over the front of the phone (and covering the touchscreen perhaps). Take a look at the render: So anyone like the strange body style? Something different I guess right? Source

The HTC Bravo, which is basically the Nexus One with multitouch, HTC’s Sense UI, and an optical trackpad instead of trackball, is confirmed to be heading to T-Mobile UK in mid-March (round the same time as 3 Sweden is getting it). So seems the Bravo launches continue… no US release info (if there even will be any). So how many people think we’ll see it stateside around March as well?

So some serious Windows Mobile 7 news was reported by WMExperts today. They are saying that have intel on two new Windows Mobile 7 phones due out this year and some of the concepts behind Windows Mobile 7 as well. Curious? Me too. First it seems that Windows Mobile 7 will have to versions; Business and Media edition. The first will be a more basic version of the OS meant for other companies to put their own UIs on top of (HTC Sense anyone?) and has slightly lower minimum specs required. The second is based around media (duh) and has

Ok so we have all been hearing some rumors about new phones coming to T-Mobile USA, but thanks to our friends over at TmoNews, we have some release dates 🙂 T-Mobile MyTouch “Slide” – May 17th Zeppelin (Undetermined Motorola Android Phone) – March 10th HTC HD2 – March Columbus (Garmin Phone) – May 5th Something From HTC (but TmoNews seems to be set that it is most likely the MyTouch 1.2, a MyTouch with 3.5m Headphone jack) – February 10th Something from Dell – End of March Any T-Mobile users excited?
