Nokia Tweeted yesteday that the Nokia belle Update is coming to some Nokia Devices by Next week. Today, Nokia correted its info and said that the Update will start rolling-out on Feburary.

The devices that will be updated to Belle include Nokia N8, Nokia E7, Nokia E6, Nokia X7, Nokia C6-01, Nokia C7, Nokia 500 and Nokia Oro. Nokia has also confirmed that the Nokia N8, C7 and C6-01 have now started shipping with the Belle update pre-installed and we are sure other handsets will join them soon.

 

The Samsung Galaxy Note is the latest HIT for Samsung, Its a phone and a Tablet in one device, According to Daryl Deino, Los Angeles Industry analyst, confirms that this device will certainly come to both Sprint and Verizon. He goes on to mention that it will possibly be named the Samsung Galaxy Journal.

There is also the fact that there is no CDMA version of the Galaxy Note. It is definitely not impossible to make one, though, and it has been done before. Verizon has mentioned that smartphones will only be released with 4G LTE connectivity from now on. If this rumor happens to be true, we might be able to rock the Galaxy Note on Verizon 4G LTE network.

 

The expected Nokia N9 PR 1.2 update has completed yet another stage of its evolution and has now started seeding.

Unfortunately, it is still only a developer-preview version, so you would need to be a registered MeeGo developer who owns the N950 developer platform to get it, but the final release should not be too far away now. Normally, it takes a month or a month and a half of testing, before such beta versions graduate.

The changelog for PR1.2 includes app folders, video calling support, better camera and gallery and improved copy/paste functionality with brackets.

In an official Samsung video used in their press conference at the event, The Galaxy S III makes a brief appearance, and it carries visible changes from the galaxy S II.

 

The most noticeable difference is how thin the bezel is much thinner than the one on the S II. We have rumors confirms that the S III will have a next-gen Super AMOLED screen with a 4.6-inch diagonal, which would fit in the frame of the Galaxy S II if Samsung shaves down the bezel. We are still waiting an official Release from Samsung which is probably will be during the MWC2012.

Not only is a Windows Phone Skype app incoming, but Microsoft will "further integrate" the VoIP service into future versions of its smartphone OS, according to Skype CEO Tony Bates. Details on the nature of the deeper integration are still unclear, though the assumption is that just as Android allows outgoing and incoming calls to be routed over either traditional mobile networks or via VoIP Windows Phone will give users the option to choose the cheapest route for their calls, as well as presumably sync Skype contacts with the handset address book and show presence status.

 

Microsoft acquired Skype back in October, at the time promising a "ubiquity of the Skype experience" and reassuring users that "communication across every device and every platform will remain a primary focus." At the time, that was seen as a commitment to maintaining versions of Skype for Mac, Android, iOS and other platforms.

The Galaxy S II WiMAX will be released by KDDI au in Japan and is more or less similar to the Galaxy S II HD LTE. The phone will feature specs like 1.4GHz dual-core processor, Android 2.3.4 OS, 4.7-inch Super AMOLED HD Display (1280x720), 8MP and 2MP cameras, full HD recording support, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 3.0, GPS, microSD card slot, NFC support and 16GB internal memory.

The WiMAX version weighs 139g and has a talk time of up to 670 minutes.

Smart watches that pair with your phone and let you view and access select functions of your phone seem to be the coolest thing in the world of mobile accessories at the moment. Motorola recently launched the Android-powered MOTOACTV that works as your music player and also logs your workout sessions.

Like the MOTOACTV, the Sony SmartWatch runs on Android. But unlike Motorola, Sony is letting you download apps on the SmartWatch through the Android Market. Of course, the apps will need to be optimized for the small display, not to mention the limited hardware of the watch. Sony will be releasing an SDK for developers to make appropriate apps to run on the SmartWatch.

Now Sony too has joined the fray with their smart watch called, well, SmartWatch. It has a 1.3-inch multi-touch OLED display that lets you access your phone functions such as calls, messages, music as well as social networking applications such as Twitter and Facebook.

Windows 8 is shaping up to be the best OS Microsoft has had in years, but limitations around ARM-based tablets and concerns over x86-based model pricing could sour the platform launch later this year. Microsoft has mandated that ARM Windows 8 machines expected to be the bulk of low-cost Windows 8 tablets must have their Secure Boot system locked down, ComputerWorld reports or in order words users must not be allowed to load non-Windows platforms onto ARM hardware.

According to a document titled Windows Hardware Certification Requirements, which Microsoft released last month, the company confirms that it is up to manufacturers as to whether Secure Boot is locked down or not. For x86-powered PCs, notebooks and tablets, OEMs are free to decide which way to leave the settings

 

Last week, Sprint rolled out an update to its HTC EVO 3D handset but what many people did not know was the upgrade removed the controversial software Carrier IQ. Before this upgrade, The Now Network was reported to having somewhere north of 26 million devices carrying Carrier IQ, so this maintenance update shrinks that number down some.

 

Sprint has 15 other devices carrying the diagnostic analysis software and most people do not expect them to remove it from those handsets. Carrier IQ may have gotten a bad rep from all of the negative publicity its received over the last few months.

 

The ChronicDevTeam has a video showcasing an untethered jailbreak on an iPhone 4S, running on iOS 5.0.1.

The video seems real. We are demonstrated a reboot after which Cydia is still functional and last but not least we are shown the different antenna design and a running Siri version.

This sort of a jailbreak solution has been available on A4-powered iDevices but, up until now, it had its ups and downs on the A5-powered iPad 2 and iPhone 4S.

T-Mobile USA Nokia Lumia 710 is now available free in the US, It is Now Available for free with 2-years-contract by Walmart, as carrier and retailers attempt to get as many sales in as they can before the Lumia 900 goes on sale.

That deadline of sorts is expected to be in mid-March, with a Nokia Developers email newsletter tipping the end-of-Q1 date earlier this month. Officially unveiled last week, the Lumia 900 promises to be the most advanced Nokia Windows Phone yet, with LTE connectivity along and a 4.3-inch ClearBlack display and 8-megapixel camera

A week ago we got the first confirmation about the upcoming availability of a White Galaxy Nexus. We also got the first official picture of the white gadget.

Today, we finally got the real deal the first live pictures of the white Galaxy Nexus. Quite expectedly the white fella is completely identical with the black one but the paintjob.

 

 

Ever since Monster and Beats Audio decided to collaborate and get into the headphones business back in 2009 the two have met with incredible success. Most of this was due to some fantastic marketing, helped no doubt by big names like Lady Gaga, P.Diddy, Justin Bieber, LeBron James and the co-founder of Beats Audio, Dr. Dre, along with some excellent designs and an audio signature that was tuned to what most people like to hear instead of what they should be hearing.

After the split, Beats will retain the rights to the technology, design and the brand of the current Beats Audio headphones and will probably create their own separate line of products or perhaps partner with another manufacturer. Monster, on the other hand, already has their own separate line of audio equipment so they are likely to expand that.

Motorola announced a New 4G LTE device,the DROID RAZR MAXX. Stating this was not a replacement over the original RAZR just recently launched but an improved version with a larger battery 3,300 mAh which double any 4G phones battery on the market currently. During CES 2012, Motorola clearly stating that the new Motorola DROID RAZR MAXX will be available starting Thursday, January 26th.

The new MAXX edition will be exactly the same as the original we reviewed late last year, only it will offer a larger battery. Motorola will be launching the MAXX with a 3,300 mAh battery promising over 21+ hours of solid use. Enough for any hardcore power user, or a busy business-minded individual and also still 8.9mm thick!

 

The prevoiously-rumored HTC Ville with Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich will be heading to T-Mobile. Upcoming announcements are expected for the HTC Ville, HTC Edge, and a new feature called HTC Family.

We have recently seen the HTC Ville in a leaked press image, which revealed an ultra-slim smartphone said to measure less than 8mm thin. It is expected to feature a 4.3-inch qHD display, running on Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich and powered by a 1.5GHz Qualcomm dual-core processor. HSPA+ connectivity, Beats Audio, and an 8-megapixel rear-facing camera capable of 1080p, are all expected to be in tow.

 

 

When Nokia announced the new Lumia 900 at CES they only said it will be released in the next few months without giving a proper date.

Windows bloggers Paul Thurrott has gone one step ahead and pinned March 18 has the actual date of launch.

Facebook is pretty popular, but did you know that in fact 1 in 10 people use Facebook and that combined, that makes 800 million users worldwide?

With that much activity, Facebook Inc. have made themselves a pretty sizable audience for advertisers to address, but with talks of the company going public, just how much did you expect it was actually worth ?

ZeptoLab has released their highly popular Cut the Rope HD for the PlayBook. The premise is simple but the game can get quite tricky, especially in the later levels.

Not sure if developers suddenly found out about the existence of the PlayBook or if the recent fire sale has finally made them take interest in the device but the troubled tablet has finally started getting some popular titles.

Are you a proud HP TouchPad owner ?  Android Ice Cream Sandwich may be on its way to you sooner rather than later, with news and a video demo after the cut that the CyanogenMod team has managed to get custom Android 4.0-based ROM CM9 running on the short-lived slate.

Video Demo Below!

Google has launched the Android Design site, a page of guidelines, design principles, UI best-practice and style shortcuts for developers working with Ice Cream Sandwich. Made up both of guiding principles for apps and interfaces, such as "delight me in surprising ways" and "let me make it mine", as well as the actual building blocks of an Android UI, including tabs, seek bars, switches and spinners, the site marks Googlemost obvious attempt to-date to get all Android coders on the same style-sheet.

Much of what we saw and praised in Ice Cream Sandwich is being put forward as best-practice by Google today. The People hub, new in Android 4.0, is used as an example of using pictures instead of words, while the shift from physical buttons to virtual and the changing context menu is used to push the idea of not overwhelming people with too much at any one time.

 

White versions of the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 and the Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus emerged in Vietnam. Okay, there have been white versions around for a while, but these new ones are all white.

The currently available Black and White versions differ only by the color of the back the front has a black bezel around the screen in both of them. Apparently, Samsung has been working on a white bezel for the White version as these photos show.

 

 

 

 

 

A new video teaser draws attention to the upcoming Angry Birds Seasons update. It has a Chinese new year theme and is touted for January,23. Rovio will make this version available for all platforms.

The much-anticipated release of the iPhone 4S in China stumbled out of the gate in Beijing, after unruly crowds kept the store closed on release day.

Apple main store in the Sanlitun district of Beijing, the first of its kind to open in the country, was pelted with eggs and minor scuffles broke out after an unidentified store representative announced that the store would not be opening.

 

 

Apple released iOS 5.1 Beta 2 on December 12 with Build number 9B5127a. The current beta now uses build number 9B5141a.

iOS 5.1 beta 3 restores a sought after feature by many users, Enable 3G. The Enable 3G toggle allows users to completely shut off their cellular data, something that is currently unavailable. iOS users who use WiFi at work and home, experience heavy battery loss due to the fact that 3G and WiFi are running simultaneously. With this new feature, users can simply switch off 3G and use WiFi and can switch on WiFi just as easily. Apple noted under the toggle feature, that "3G offers faster data speeds but uses more battery power than EDGE".

NVIDIA will not limit its Tegra 3 processor to mobile devices like tablets and smartphones (Quad-core CPU) they are going for cars as well. Audi is the first car company that will integrate the powerful processor in its vehicles starting from 2013, with Tegra 3 powering up in-vehicle infotainment systems as well as new digital instrument clusters that replace traditional dashboard gauges. Both systems will utilize Tegra 3 "Visual Computing Modules" (VCMs) which include processors, memory and IO controllers, designed specifically for automotive applications.

The tight integration of these systems with the vehicle, as well as their simple user-interface and realistic graphics, will enable safer, more intuitive driving by providing critical information that can be easily understood with a quick glance.

There is only one problem, by 2013 NVIDIA may launch something even more powerful than the Tegra 3.

The ASUS Eee Pad Transformer Prime has finally gone on sale in the UK, with the first stock of the dockable Android tablet going to clear what the company describes as "huge demand and pre-orders." The Tegra 3 quadcore slate which we reviewed back in December has since seen an upgrade to Ice Cream Sandwich, which ASUS released ahead of schedule this week, and comes with a removable battery-equipped QWERTY keyboard for extending runtime and easing text entry.

Google Maps for Android has seen another update, adding to the Las Vegas indoor floorplans released earlier in the week with a new set of plans as submitted from the Floor Plans tool. The Google LatLong Blog also reveals that the company has a new Google Maps for Google+ game incoming, seemingly turning the PND service into a real-world Pac-Man of sorts.

Full details on the Google Maps game have not been revealed, but it looks like the floorplan data is used to track users as they move around and collect points. We have seen location-based gaming before, but Google heft and the huge number of Android devices in the wild could mean it finally takes hold in the mainstream.

Every year Intel talks the talk about being able to put their chips inside devices as tiny as a smartphone, but this year they are walking the walk with the help of Lenovo. The Chinese personal computer maker may not be known for smartphones on this side of the pond, but in their home country they are quite popular. They have just announced the K800 and say that it will ship in Q2 of this year running Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich.

When it coms to Specifications you are looking at a 1.6 GHz Intel Z2460 on a 4.5 inch 720p resolution display, 8-megapixel camera, and Intel own XMM 6260 radio chipset that supports 21 Mbps 3G HSPA+, quadband EDGE.

It is common knowledge that the PenTile matrix layout is something you should ideally avoid if you want the absolute best image quality. Unfortunately, a large number of devices do ship with this display technology on-board, with Nokia Lumia 800 being one of them.

Nokia US Recently confirms through its official twitter account that Nokia Lumia 900 display is NOT penTile which is good News!

Seven days from now Apple will be hosting an event in New York City at the Guggenheim Museum where they willl be holding an "education announcement", which we can only assume will be their entrance into the textbook market (New iPad ?)

When Apple launched the iPad two years ago, they also unveiled iBooks, which to be honest has not been as much as a success as they probably thought it would be Amazon dominates the eBook market. But what if Apple could start getting schools to buy their iPads in bulk and get teachers to tie their course material into iBooks? That changes the game completely. Plus you can only imagine how eager Apple would be to sell schools several thousand iPads at a time, with insurance thrown on top.

T-Mobile and Samsung just unveiled the Galaxy S Blaze 4G with a dual-core Snapdragon S3 processor, clocked at 1.5 GHz, Super AMOLED first generation display and HSPA+ 42 Mbps downlink speeds.

Known specs shows that the Blaze 4G will be basically a Galaxy S with an upgraded processor and 4G speeds.

 

There is a brand new Galaxy Tab in town, this one created in Germany with a new form factor that does a bit of like the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1N fom last year. But, it does have the long awaited forward-facing speaker upgrade, this being the biggest change between it and its 7.0 non-N edition. Inside you will be getting Android 3.2 Honeycomb right out of the box with Ice Cream Sandwich update coming very soon.

This device has a 7-inch PLS-LCD display at WSVGA resolution, that being 1024 x 600 pixels with 169.6 pixels per inch. The Galaxy Tab 7.0N weighs in at 345g, has 16GB of internal memory, and has a microSDHC slot to expand memory by up to 32GB. The battery inside this device is a massive 4000mAh, Bluetooth 3.0, and GPS, GSM and HSPA.

A Render-photo appeared from the Tizen SDK by Sammobile shows an unannounced device that rumored to be the Upcoming Samsung GT-I9500 (Picture above).

The device seems to have a metal border with metal buttons and it seems that this device is the same size as the Galaxy S2. Also the home button apparently needed replacing, instead of the rectangular shape it is a square shape now.

One thing is certain it support a front-facing camera and it has a large speaker on the front. And it looks like that device will have a shutter button aswell.

Nokia N9 PR 1.2 Update has been leaked, finally, Nokia N9 users can make use of the front facing camera as video calls are coming with this update The camera improvements in the last screenshot leak is confirmed as well as many more stuff.

Check out those folders. It has been a Nokia thing having folders. I know the implementation would now resemble iPhone by showing the little mini icons.

We have also got some in browser copy/paste goodness. It is a little more windows phone 7 like with those brackets. This time it works in browser too.

Samsung has just finished working on a New ROM for the Galaxy S II I9100 ICS 4.0.3 Update, the New ROM XXKPA leaked today with many improvements from the last two KP4 and KP8 ROMS that was leaked last week. However, this ROM is more stable but its still have some minor bugs.

We are now hearing reports from everywhere about people getting the ICS update on their Transformer Prime. Those who updated are reporting improvements in the performance along with new features such as folders found in ICS.

The HTC Titan II LTE just got Official during the CES 2012. First and most importantly, the HTC Titan II features an AMAZING 16 MP camera which is the first time to see such a powerful camera on a windows phone device (Mango)... probably the best HTC camera phone out there!

But the HTC Titan II camera is not the only thing making headlines in the Windows Phone world. The Titan II has the same 4.7-inch LCD as its predecessor, which is as large as it gets in WP land. The chipset inside this one is Qualcomm Snapdragon S2, featuring a 1.5GHz Scorpion CPU and there is LTE connectivity on-board. The Titan II will be exclusive for AT&T New LTE Network in the US.

The Sony Xperia S is arriving in the UK in March and so far we know that Three UK and O2 will be the ones to carry the device. The white version of the Xperia s is said to be a Phones4U exclusive.

 

The Xperia s offers a 4.3-inch Reality display with HD resolution (720x1280), making for the highest pixel density device in droid land along with the HTC Rezound at around 342 pixels per inch. Now, the fact is that anything above 300 is more than the human eye can resolve at a reasonable distance but bragging rights are important in the tech community.

Samsung has already beat Nokia in terms of revenue, but now the South Korean company believes it will overtake the Finnish group in total shipments as well. Speaking to reporters in Las Vegas, Samsung CEO Choi Gee Sung revealed that the company had surpassed Nokia in revenue in the latest reported quarter and is confident it will be able to top Nokia in shipments, becoming the world largest cellphone maker in 2012.

 

Nokia had dominated the mobile phone market for over a decade, but the company has been struggling when it comes to smartphones with the surge of Android and iOS. Nokia smartphone sales lost to Apple in the second quarter of 2011 and now the company betting on its partnership with Microsoft to launch new Windows Phone devices.

Fujitsu did not have much to display at the CES 2012. They had only ONE really special device to show, a quad-core Android smartphone running on the latest Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0.3 (photo above).

The phone currently is just a prototype and the specifications could change before it is announced officially at the MWC this year but it seems mighty impressive as it is. For starters it will run on the quad-core Nvidia Tegra 3 processor, which will take care of all your gaming needs.

This prototype device had a 4.6-inch 720p HD display and a 13.1 MP camera capable of ISO 25,600 sensitivity. The phone will launch duting this year with Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0.3 out of the box.

 

 

Android app virtualization specialists BlueStacks have announced a version of its cross-platform software support for Windows 8, adding titles created for Android phones and tablets to the Metro UI of Microsoft upcoming OS.

The new version of BlueStacks App Player software will come preloaded on some new Windows 8 PCs later in the year, the company has confirmed.

LTE is big on this year CES. We have seen the Galaxy Nexus for Verizon and now Sprint is getting its own 4G lineup. The LTE version of the Samsung Galaxy Nexus is landing at Sprint along with the Sierra Wireless Tri-Network Hotspot.

The Sprint Galaxy Nexus specs will be similar to the verizon one, 4.65-inch Super AMOLED HD display, Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, CDMA and LTE combo network support and 5 MP camera capable of 1080p video capture on the back.

Nokia has officially announced the Lumia 900, as expected, an AT&T exclusive in the US and using the carrier 4G LTE network. Resembling an oversized Lumia 800, the Nokia Lumia 900 has a 4.3-inch AMOLED WVGA display and runs Windows Phone 7.5 Mango, complete with the Finnish company custom Nokia Drive and Nokia Music apps for turn-by-turn directions and subscription-free streaming music.

 

Inside, there is a 1.4GHz single-core processor, also as in the Lumia 800. On the back is an 8-megapixel camera with an LED flash and autofocus, supporting 720p HD video recording; that resolution is a limit of Microsoft smartphone OS, at present, rather than whatever the optics in the phone itself. Still, you do get Carl Zeiss f/2.2 optics on the new Lumia, and a front camera has an f/2.4 lens.

 

 

Nokia has used the extra space inside the injected polycarbonate single-piece casing another thing carried over from the smaller Lumia and the N9 before it to accommodate a 1,830 mAh battery, and the phone itself will be available in either black or cyan. Preloaded is a special CNN app, with iReport features. You will find links to the Full specifications of the phone and the official press photos on this article, Don't Forget to see the Hands-on Video Below!

Lumia N900 Specifications

Nokia used their CES 2012 press conference to announce their latest Windows Phone smartphone the Nokia Lumia 900. Coming with LTE connectivity and a 4.3-inch ClearBlack AMOLED, the Lumia 900 is going to be an ATT exclusive at launch.

Verizon has officially confirmed it will be offering an LTE version of Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 tablet, the Super AMOLED Plus slate first unveiled back at IFA 2011. Running a 1.4GHz dual-core processor that drives a 1280 x 800 display and Android 3.2 with Samsung TouchWiz modifications, the Galaxy Tab 7.7 LTE is just 7.9mm thick.

Along with LTE there is also WiFI b/g/n, Bluetooth and GPS, along with a 3-megapixel rear camera and a 2-megapixel front camera. The main cam can shoot 720p HD video, too. A mobile hotspot app can be used to share the 4G LTE connection with up to 10 WiFi devices or a 3G connection with up to five.

 

 

HTC Turkish branch went just confirmed through its Facebook page that 7 of the company smartphones will receive an Ice Cream Sandwich update this month and then took it down.

 

The devices in question are the Sensation, Sensation XE, Sensation XL, Amaze 4G, Rezound, EVO Design 4G and Vidid. There is also a word on the HTC Thunderbolt, which should receive the ICS update by the end of Q1 of 2012.

 

 

Two people close to Nokia revealed for New York Times, the Finn manufacturer will introduce a metallic Windows Phone-based smartphone Lumia 900 today at CES 2012.

The Lumia 900 is no secret, since it has leaked numerous times before. The currently available leaked materials show a phone looking exactly like the polycarbonate Lumia 800/N9, so no one thought Nokia might use different body this time.

If the New York times sources are correct though, the upcoming Windows Phone flagship Lumia 900 will be made of metal.

 

We really liked MeeGo OS, but MeeGo now is dead and got replaced with "Tizen", Someone got their hands on the Tizen SDK and snapped several screenshots. Note that they are not from a real device but from an emulator. Still, it is a preview of what we can expect.

 

 

 

The SDK is supposed to come out in Q1 of 2012, so seeing a preview of it at CES is likely. When the phone will appear is another matter. Anyway, here are the screenshots in question. They can almost be confused for Bada screenshots, with little remaining of MeeGo innovative design.

 

 

Interestingly, the Tizen SDK reports the browser user agent as Samsung I9500. The odd thing is not that Samsung is working on a Tizen phone, but that the I9xxx line is usually for their flagship Androids I9000 Galaxy S, I9100 Galaxy S II, I9250 Galaxy Nexus. That was rumored before that the I9500 will be the Galaxy S III.

So far, thin has been the keyword for this year CES. We have seen the world thinnest tablet and ultrabook, and now Huawei has revealed an Android smarpthone that claims to be the world slimmest.

 

Both new Huawei (P1 and P1 S) smartphones have 4.3" Super AMOLED display resolutions of qHD (540 x 960),with Gorilla Glass on top. The Ascend P1 and Ascend P1 S are powered by the same TI OMAP 4460 chipset with a dual-core ARM Cortex A9 1.5 GHz processor and a PowerVR SGX540 graphics chip and run the latest and greatest Android 4.0 ICS.

On the back there are 8 MP sharpshooters with Backside illuminated sensors for better low-light performance, dual-LED flashes, HDR effects and 1080p video capture. The duo also packs 1.3 MP front-facing cameras with 720p video capabilities.

Technology start eveolving aound smartphones, The New Standard data transfer for mobile phones is the USB 3.0 and it should begin rolling out to smartphones and tablets before the end of 2012. You will need a laptops/Macs with USB 3.0 ports as well.

In real life the acquirement of USB 3.0 will increase the data transfer speed of your next device to roughly 800 Mbps. "What takes 15 minutes will roughly take 1 minute and 10 seconds".Now do not expect to see full-sized USB ports on your next smartphone the upgrade should happen in the form of USB 3.0-supporting microUSB ports to meet the demands of thin industrial design.

 

 

A very cool Infographic that has some info and statistics that can show you if you are a Geek or a Nerd, Check it out and lets us know on the comments below if you are a "Geek" or a "Nerd".

Apple faces a 1.88M lawsuit over purportedly illegal ebook downloads for iOS devices, with nine well-known Chinese writers filing a case in Beijing over unofficial copies of their works uploaded to Apple store. The 11.91 million yuan suit describes the situation as "total theft", the People Daily reports, with the authors ire raised by Apple 30-percent cut on paid downloads that means the Cupertino firm is actually profiting from the unofficial versions.

According to the writers, attempts to have Apple abide by Chinese laws for copyright certification have been rebuked, and some of the copied texts have been downloaded several million times. 37 works in particular are named in the case, with authors including Han Han, Li Chengpeng and Murong Xuecun, all well-known in China.

The OLPD "One Laptop Per Child" organization has been doing some great things for a while now and it will be adjusting for the tablet age. The XO 3.0 tablet will shown off at CES 2012 and it is just another sign of how mobile devices and tablets can assist with education.

This is not an iPad 2 or anything but the XO 3.0 tablet will have a rugged exterior, an 8-inch screen with 1024 x 768 resolution, its powered by the Marvell 1GHz PXA618 processor and it can come with Android or the Linux-based Sugar OS, which is already on the existing OLPC devices. It will also come with the standard touchscreen or with the Pixel Qi screen, which is better for direct sunlight reading.

 

LG has previewed its Cinema Screen LCD HDTV design, ahead its official CES launch, slimming the bezel of its big-screen TVs to a mere 1mm as well as using 3D tech to allow two 2D gamers to play at once. The company is describing the new frames as down "to negligible levels" and talking up the similarity between movie theater screens.

As for the twin gamer appeal, that is LG Dual Play: with two gamers each wearing special glasses, they can see a different full-screen view at the same time, rather than sharing a portion of the screen. It is something we have seen before on Sony PlayStation 3D Display, but likely to be considerably bigger on LG sets.

The full sourcecode for Symbian^3 has been released, unofficially, together with the bootloader for Nokia devices running the OS, opening the door to other platforms being installed on the company phones. That means that enterprising hackers could eventually install Android, Windows Phone 7 or other platforms onto Nokia hardware.

 

Unfortunately that sort of mod is going to take more than just access to the bootloader information in fact it will take a fair amount of code tweaking and modification, certainly if all the various hardware elements of Symbian devices are to be enabled for a different platform. Whether there is anybody left with the time, patience and skillset to do that and, most importantly, for Symbian devices remains to be seen.

 

 

Blizzard will release Diablo III in 2012 finally, it seems the wait may be soon over. Best Buy Canada has apparently begun advertising a February,1st 2012 midnight launch for the much-anticipated game, while a February,3rd release is suggested by UK retailer Gameplay.

The Best Buy Canada store confirmed that the display is authentic, and the Best Buy site also lists a February 1 release date. There is no word on whether all locations will be offering midnight availability, however.

Fujitsu has taken a bit of a liking for making ultra thin smartphones. After the Arrows F-07D announced back in November, the thinnest smartphone in the world with just 6.6mm thickness, the Japanese manufacturer is back with the new ARROWS ES IS12F Android smartphone.

As for the specifications, the ARROWS ES IS12F will run Android 2.3 on a single core 1.4GHz CPU, 800 x 480, 4.0-inch AMOLED display and a 5.11 megapixel camera that can capture 'Hi-Vision' videos, which we assume means high definition in plain English.

 

 

Samsung Galaxy Note tabphone is headed stateside to join ATT lineup, these press shots should probably put them to rest. Going by model number SGH-I717, ATT version of the Gingerbread-powered Note likely to be revealed in a few short days at CES will reportedly maintain the class-leading 5.3-inch, 1280x800 Super AMOLED display and 1.4GHz dual-core Exynos processor that have made it unusually popular overseas but swap in a dual-core Snapdragon for LTE compatibility.

We are also expecting another high definition, LTE-capable handset from Samsung to hit AT&T in the near future, the SGH-i957 Celox HD.

 

Good News, looks like Samsung is twaeking the Galaxy S I9000 after all, The Picure above is taken from a leaked Official ROM for the Galaxy S I9000XXJVU based on Gigerbread 2.3.6 and built in 29,December 2011.

The New ROM brings some ICS features like face-unlock (picture above) and More:

Corning has just announced the next generation of its Gorilla Glass named the Gorilla Glass 2. Not only is the new glass much harder but it is thinner and is significantly more scratch resistant than the previous iteration.

Corning will officially unveil the new glass at CES next week, along with a 82-inch multitouch LCD display using the glass. While we are not sure when we will begin to see devices ship with the glass but we can imagine it will become the go-to sturdy glass for manufacturers going forward. Gorilla Glass is currently found in almost 600 different products today and is protecting more than 500 million products worldwide.

According to Corning, the Gorilla Glass 2 will be harder than any other glass.

 

 

The White Samsung Galaxy Nexus will be hitting UK on February,6th. Its not all white, as you can see from the image above only its back case is. we announced the Official Galaxy Nexus White Photos yesterday.

We have no information how much the white version will cost, though it is kinda safe to bet it will not be more expensive than the black version.

 

ASUS has confirmed that there will a 3G-equipped version of the Eee Pad Transformer Prime in March, with the company also saying it plans to launch an ARM-based Windows 8 slate by the end of the year.

CES 2012 will bring a 7-inch tablet potentially this leaked model and a 10-inch "high resolution" model, according to ASUS Samson Hu, while two further 10-inch models will drop in the second half of the year. Meanwhile, ASUS has a 150-strong team working on its Windows 8 model, though we are a little confused as to the mention of ARM chipsets given Microsoft is believed not to have the Windows 8 on ARM build of the OS ready until mid-2013.

 

The Galaxy Nexus has been available on Canadian networks Bell and Virgin Mobile but now it is arriving on Telus and Rogers networks as well on January,13.

If you are reading this in the US and feeling a bit jealous that you only have one carrier (Verizon) offering the Galaxy Nexus... then do not worry because soon Sprint will be offering the Galaxy Nexus LTE version too. This information actually comes from an Internet ad found on the web page of CNET.

Some reliable sources have discovered quad-core processor support into the iOS 5.1 beta code. So, we could expect quad-core iPhones and iPads in the near future. It is good to know Apple is already working on the next big hardware jump.

A few months ago other skilful developers discovered the "iPhone5,1" reference into the first iOS 5.1 beta code. It might turn out Apple is indeed gearing the next iPhone with a quad-core A6 chip.

 

 

It appears that the promised untethered jailbreak tool for A5 devices is not as close to public availability as we all hoped. A couple of days ago the popular indie developer pod2g said that if we are lucky enough we might get it in a week, but maybe our luck just ran out.

It turns out that the jailbreaking tool for the newest iDevices the iPad 2 and the iPhone 4S that pod2g developed relies on the user having a developers account. And since most iPhone and iPad users do not have such account it is impossible to release the tool for public consumption.

The announcement of the Apple iPad 3 is just a few months away now, so naturally the rumor train is starting to pick up speed. In today scoop we are talking display, camera and the fate of the current iPad after the release of its successor.

Once again, we are hearing that the iPad 3 will have four times the resolution of the iPad 2, which will reportedly be marketed as Retina display. Doubling the iPad 2 resolution on the same screen estate will give you pixel density of 264 ppi, which on a screen this big should feel as good as the 326ppi of the last two iPhones.

The camera rumors have it that the next iPad will share its primary camera module with one of the last two iPhones the iPhone 4 or the iPhone 4S. This means that it will either have a 5 megapixel or an 8 megapixel snapper.

Microsoft has posted to its Building Windows 8 blog details on the next-gen platform new Storage Spaces feature. Storage Spaces continues the Drive Extender concept from Windows Home Server, allowing the system to pool physical hard drives of various sizes and interfaces to redundantly store data for scale, resiliency, and efficiency.

The system works like a RAID setup but the physical hard drives are grouped into a larger storage pool, which is then split up into spaces. The disks in a pool can be of mismatched sizes and of different interface technologies, such as USB, SATA, and Serial Attached SCSI. New disks can be added anytime while others can be connected but kept on standby only to turn on when needed.

The spaces are virtual disks that function like the physical disks but has more powerful capabilities to ensure redundancy. At least two copies of all data within a space are stored on at least two different physical drives.

Sony Ericsson Teased us with a subway photo of the Xperia Arc HD, we have got what appears to be the back, this connected with the rest of the leaks showing off the entirety of the device. What we saw earlier today was photos of the sides and the front of the device, it being a generally candybar-looking smartphone with a lovely stylish metallic strip along the bottom and black plastic around the edges. Now from Sony Ericsson Germany we have got the back in full HD, nearly.

This device is what Sony Ericsson will almost certainly end up calling the XPERIA Arc HD, also thus far codenamed Nozomni. The smartphone has been tipped to have a 1280 x 720 display, this putting it up in the Galaxy Nexus and iPhone 4S range for superior resolution, and Android 2.3.6 Gingerbread will be pre-installed on it. Inside you willl find a massive 1.5GHz dual-core Snapdragon MSM8660 chipset and absolutely no expandable memory. And a beast 12-megapixels camera too.

 

 

Samsung sold more than 27.8 Million smartphones in Q4,2011 alone. Samsung has confirmed, making it the world largest smartphone vendor and contributing significantly to its record-breaking financial quarter.

The new stat was tweeted out by Samsung South Africa, and follows the company announcement last month that it had shipped over 300m handsets both smartphones and dumbphones in 2011 as a whole.

 

Samsung, Sony and Vizio will have new Google TV hardware at CES next week, while the platform will make its long-awaited international debut in 2012 with Google confirming its key partners alongside LG new smart TV kit.

Meanwhile, Marvell ARMADA 1500 chipset integral to Google TV now that the search giant has jumped from x86 to ARM will share the stage with chip company MediaTek, which will also be supplying SoCs to power Google TV set-top boxes.

 

 

Nokia Car Mode has been released for Nokia (Symbian) Belle devices in the Nokia Store, providing users with easy access and simplified user interface to the most relevant apps for in-car use such as music player, contacts and navigation. As a result, drivers are less distracted and more focused on the road ahead.

There are two versions of the Nokia Car Mode available, depending on the user preferences and availability of MirrorLink enabled car infotainment system in the region.

One of the coolest features of the new iPhone 4S is Siri. The virtual assistant will let the user do all sorts of things using their voice alone. Siri will text for you, find the local weather and lots more. Siri does use the data connection on the iPhone 4S to reach its servers back at Apple though. The heavy use of Siri has reportedly put a big strain on some mobile networks.

Bloomberg reports that data use for iPhones has doubled with Siri. Take the doubling of data with all the new users that the iPhone 4S is attracting, and you get a lot of new data use on mobile networks.

Google updated its podcast client for Android Google Listen. There are no visible changes except that reference to the now defunct Google Labs was removed. Other than that, it is the same app that allows users to listen to the podcasts while on the go and that sings along Google Reader.

Rumors of two iPad launches in a single year have resurfaced, with claims the iPad 3 debut in March will be followed by an iPad 4 with killer applications in October 2012. The usual shady sources in the supply chain have whispered of not only an HD-display toting third-gen Apple tablet expected imminently, DigiTimes reports, but suggested that beyond the 2048 x 1536 screen and longer battery life, "other hardware specifications may not be so amazing as expected." For that, they claim, we will have to wait until Q4 this year.

The iPad 4, as those sources have dubbed it, will stick with the 9.7-inch display size and the higher resolution panel of the iPad 3 but will pair it with "much upgraded hardware specifications and integrated applications." They are designed to better compete with Windows 8 tablets expected in Q3 this year, as well as the new legion of Ice Cream Sandwich Android slates.

 

 

Yesterday, We published a leaked photo (photo above with red X on it) of the Galaxy Nexus white version but it turns out to be a Mock-up and not the real Galaxy Nexus white.

 

Today, YouMobile.Org has just received the Official Photos of the Galaxy Nexus White (photos below), It looks like only the back and sides of the device will be covered with White but the front will stay black in order to make the panel looks the same as the original Galaxy Nexus which is awesome.

Box updated its Android app with  some major improvements in the 1.5 version.

Additionally, you will be able to send files to box from anywhere you can open files and that is another nice ability of Android. You can also look forward to new compatibility with third-party apps like QuickOffice Pro.

 

We are barely a week into 2012 and rumors are already resurfacing that at some point over the next 12 months Nokia will sell their smartphone unit to Microsoft. We canbot remember the first time such rumors appeared, but we do know the last time we covered this tale.

Just a couple of weeks ago Danske Bank claimed that during the first half of 2012 Nokia would do the unthinkable and sell their smartphone unit to Stephen Elop’s former employeer.

Unlocked bootloaders are a hot topic in the Android community and Motorola is yet another company to come under heavy fire from fans who really like the freedom to do with their phones as they please.

It is not the first and it probably will not be the last company. What seems to making users particularly cross with Motorola is that in early 2011 Moto promised to unlock the bootloaders of its smartphones and while it did unlock a few left the majority locked.

That time has come reports The Telegraph with the Apple legal team reportedly threatening legal action if the company produces the doll.

Pre-orders for the 32GB version of the Galaxy Nexus also started, but there is no exact launch date for that one yet. Its £599.99 price tag sure sounds scary, but given that there is no microSD card slot on that one, this is your only option of getting a bit of extra space for all those apps and multimedia files.

The New Windows phone 7 update issues a number of improvements and more importantly bug fixes to Windows Phone, addressing the likes of the mysterious disappearing keyboard issue that has plagued users by hiding the on-screen keyboard in general use.

There are also more security centric fixes too, such as the location privacy issue that Microsoft said caused "unintended behavior" by sending excess location data relative to nearby cell towers and WiFi access points.

The update uses the version number to 7.10.8107.79 and the change-log is:

• Stops the on-screen keyboard disappearing when in use
• Provides a fix for Gmail sync issue

Last week, We announced that Samsung will launch a VPU or a Value Update package that will for the Galaxy S I9000 Users, that will Offer them the same experience of the ICS but in Gingerbread (browser, multi-tasking... etc) instead of the CORE ICS 4.0.1 OS Update which samsung said it "could not run smoothly on the galaxy s older hardware, and will not deliver a good experience to the user".

However, a Samsung spokesperson today has said that the company will NOT offer the (VPU) update either due to the hardware specifications of the older Galaxy devices, in that they are limited to and fully optimized for the Gingerbread experience only. The news will frustrate Galaxy S owners that had gotten their hopes up following recent reports, They won't get the ICS nor the VPU, with many still on a two-year contract, they were hoping to see new features on the device.

We are Truly Very Sorry to all Galaxy S Owners and Fans for this Bad News, but we will keep supporting you with Gingerbread Updates and Bug fixes, also we will offer some easy-steps tutorials for How-to flash your Galaxy S to ICS 4.0.3.

Thank you,

 

ATT is ready to laucnh a New Android Honeycomb tablet on 8,January its called the "Pantech Element", with an  8-inch touchscreen. The 1.5GHz dual-core slate will include 4G LTE according to BGR, as well as being splashproof to IP57 rating, as long as you have remembered to close all the port doors first.

As well as LTE support for AT&T network, there is a 5-megapixel main camera capable of 1080p Full HD video recording and a 2-megapixel front camera for video calls. 16GB of internal storage shares space with a "piezo motor" haptic feedback system, it is unclear how much that will differ from the current buzz that Android tablets give when you tap them.

The Angry Birds game is among the most popular, if not the most popular, games in the smartphone gaming atmosphere. It is available on iOS, Android, WebOS, Symbian, PC and now Bada OS.

The addition has been made today and the game is free to download on Wave S8600 3. That is the only Bada phone currently supported but the requirement is to have Bada 2.0 preinstalled so we guess that other Wave devices will follow suit.

 

 

 

Over the course of the past month, we have seen tons of progress towards developing jailbreaks for the latest iPhone hardware and software. Near the end of December, an untethered jailbreak for older Apple devices running iOS 5.0.1 became available, but the exploit was not yet ready for jailbreaking models built around A5 chips, like the iPad 2 and the iPhone 4S.

Developer pod2g has been keeping us all updated on his progress towards finally tackling that mission, informing us about the new challenges he faced going up against dual-core architecture. It now looks like everything very nearly about to come together, and pod2g has voiced his optimism that we could see a finished tool released in a week time.

On January 13th, the iPhone 4S will HIT new markets including the likes of China, Jamaica and Kenya along with 19 others, across the globe.

Apple CEO Tim Cook has a lot to smile about, especially with a yet untapped market like China.

Here is the full list of new markets about to receive the iPhone 4S from Apple official press release:

"Beginning Friday, January 13, iPhone 4S will be available in Anguilla, Antigua and Barbuda, Bolivia, Botswana, British Virgin Islands, Cameroon, Cayman Islands, Central African Republic, China, Dominica, Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Grenada, Guam, Guinea Conakry, Ivory Coast, Jamaica, Kenya, Madagascar, Mali, Mauritius, Niger, Senegal, St. Vincent and The Grenadines, Trinidad and Tobago, Turks and Caicos and Uganda."

 

 

 

Windows Phone users may find Apple Siri service so awesome that makes the default Bing Voice look like an ancient technology. No more, thanks to the new app called Ask Ziggy.

Available as a free download, it will understand your question and assist you in areas such as emailing, texting, calling, social network updates, and getting directions. In addition, Ask Ziggy is said to be good for mathematical questions, checking flight status and random trivia.

The next Angry Birds seasons update is on its way to mobile OS platforms and is scheduled for this January.

The theme of the next Seasons chapter is Chinese in origin, which is not exactly the first we have seen. We are guessing it will be connected somehow with the fact that Chinese New Year is celebrated on January 23 this year.

 

 

This week we are seeing Sony Ericsson teasing us with a new device, What we are really sure about that its an Android ICS device under this fancy white sheet, It may be something Big and that it will be revealed next week during the CES 2012 event.
