We knew LG C900 QWERTY packing Windows Phone 7 handset was sliding towards an ATT finish line, but its looking like the company E900 slate phone might play for Team Blue as well here is an FCC report that shows the handset boasting GSM 850 and 1900 radio frequencies as well as compatible 3G data. No confirmation on the C900 but it will be soon!
webOS 2.0 is the next generation of Palm’s mobile operating system, and it brings a number of new features that developers are going to want to use and features to make using webOS devices better. This beta of webOS 2.0 is being made available to let developers start building apps that take advantage of the new feature, and will be released to users later this year.
Here is the Official Changes from Palm Developers Blog
Palm's groundbreaking card metaphor made multi-tasking on a handheld device easy and intuitive for the first time. webOS 2.0 takes it to the next level by grouping related cards in stacks, reducing clutter, and making it even easier to move quickly between tasks.
We've renamed Universal Search to Just Type and extended it to do much more. Quick Actions makes it easier than ever for your users to update social status, set reminders, add items to a shopping list - or do whatever it takes to get things done in the context of your app.
Exhibition is a webOS 2.0 feature designed to inform, entertain and delight you while your device is docked. Set your device on the Palm Touchstone Charging Dock, and it will enter a special full-screen mode optimized for passive enjoyment and utility. While a handful of compelling Exhibition options will be built into webOS 2.0, but we're counting on you and your fellow developers to make Exhibition truly great. You can add Exhibition support to an existing app, or build something new just for Exhibition.
In webOS 2.0, we're opening Synergy up to our developer ecosystem. You'll be able to develop Synergy connectors for Contacts, Calendar, and Messaging - and later, for other webOS data types as well. Using the new Synergy APIs, you can let your users:
Connect to your chat or IM network from the webOS Messaging app
Access their personal contacts, their favorite businesses, or your community's shared address book from the webOS Contacts UI
View and manage their personal and shared calendars, keep track of their favorite sports and entertainment events, and more, from within the webOS Calendar app
Roll your own services with Node.js: The popular Node.js runtime environment is built into webOS 2.0, which means that you can now develop not just webOS apps but also services in JavaScript. The active Node ecosystem is on hand to provide community support and a rapidly growing library of modules that you can use in your webOS services.
Today, you can use the webOS Plug-in Development Kit (PDK) to build games and immersive apps in C/C++. But the feature that gives the PDK its name-the ability to build C/C++ plug-ins for your HTML/JavaScript/CSS apps-is still in beta.
This feature will exit beta in webOS 2.0, opening the door for you to distribute apps that incorporate PDK plug-ins. Using plug-ins, you can more easily port app logic from other platforms while leveraging the Mojo Framework to give users a familiar interface and integrate seamlessly into webOS.
webOS 2.0 adds a number of new HTML5 features and enhancements, giving you more tools to work with when building apps and sites for webOS.
Don't think that this is all there is to webOS 2.0-these are just the highlights. We've added a lot of features that will give your apps more power and flexibility than ever. We're excited about what webOS 2.0 has to offer, and we think you will be, too!
Today Facebook brings minor update (1.3) for webOS Facebook app.
Beyond the customary bug fixing and optimizations, the most noteworthy features are landscape mode, one-click comments, filtered news feeds, and, at long last, photo tagging.
Also Palm has also just pushed a beta version (1.3.1) of the Facebook app to their developer portal even thought the 1.3 was just Released !
Intel is the worlds largest chipmaker, agreed to buy Infineon Technologies AGs wireless unit for about $1.4 billion, gaining a foothold in mobile-phone business it has struggled to crack for more than a decade.
The all-cash transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of 2011, Infineon, Europe second-largest semiconductor maker, said in a statement today.
The acquisition of Infineon unit, on the heels of Intel’s $7.68 billion purchase of security software maker McAfee builds on Chief Executive Officer Paul Otellini’s plans to break the company’s reliance on the personal-computer market. Intel wants to get its processors into smartphones, such as Apple iPhone, a handset that uses an Infineon radio chip.
Infineon is selling a unit that has struggled to turn a profit, letting it focus on areas where it can grab the biggest market share. Infineon trails San Diego-based Qualcomm Inc., which dominates the market for chips that control radio functions in phones.
Intel, which generated $3.49 billion in cash from operations in the second quarter, ended the period with more than $18 billion in reserve. The McAfee purchase is a cash transaction.
The Dell Aero is unlike any other Android phone you ever used. It does not feel like Android with a skin on top. It feels more like a feature phone with Android beneath. If you are looking for a phone that is slim and light and packed with features, read on for my in-depth impressions of Dell entry into the world of smartphones.
Screen
The screen on the Dell Aero looks great. The 3.5-inch display pushes 640 by 360 pixels, which is an unusual resolution for Android devices, but not unheard of. Text looks sharp on the Dell Aero, and pictures look colorful and bright. Outdoors, the screen still performed well. It was easily visible in bright sunlight, and the LCD on the Aero bested the OLED screen on my Nexus One by a mile.
Sound
Sound quality on the Dell Aero was also outstanding. My phone calls sounded great. Callers sounded up close and personal on my end. Tones could be a bit warm, with more bass than treble sound, but this wasn’t unpleasant. On their end, my callers reported a slight, occasional hiss, but nothing serious. The speaker on the Dell Aero is also nice and loud. It could distort at the highest volumes, but this was mostly a problem with music. Speakerphone conversations sounded good, even over loud car noise. Ringtones were also loud and clear.
The phone uses ring profiles, a feature that most Android phones lack. I found the profiles difficult to manage; they required lots of menu digging when I just wanted to tap and go. If you want the phone to vibrate, you cannot simply turn down the volume until the phone shakes. You have to dig through the sound profiles to “ring and vibrate," or just "vibrate."
Signal
The Dell Aero had no trouble connecting to AT&T’s 3G network. Almost all of my calls went through with no trouble, though a few times the call would fail after dialing and I had to send the call again. Incoming calls found me every time.
The phone was a bit shaky on the data network. Testing the network speed, the phone might be nice and fast one moment, then slow to a crawl the next. Data never stopped completely, but a few consecutive runs of SpeedTest bore this out. Data speeds were simply inconsistent, even sitting still.
I also had trouble with the phone’s Wi-Fi connection. The first time I connected to my home network, everything worked just fine. After a restart, the phone would not connect automatically. When I tried to connect from the Wi-Fi menu, the pop-up screen that asks if you want to Connect, Forget or Cancel the connection did not work; the buttons would not register my taps. I tried multiple restarts, but I was never again able to connect properly.

The iPad is setting the standard for the revived tablet market. What is it about Apple that makes these products so great? In part it is Apple dedication to user experience; but would it be argue that the larger factor in their success is Apple end-to-end control of the product. They make the hardware and the operating systems, and build the two to work in near-perfect synchronicity. A lot of CrunchGear commenters say they’re really waiting for a Windows 7 tablet to compete with the iPad, but I say they will be waiting for a long, long time: Windows 7 on the multitude of tablet hardware options will be just like Windows 7 on desktop PCs: an appeal to the lowest common denominator, thereby hobbling both hardware and OS advances. (And I actually like Windows 7, so belay the Apple fanboy comments for a moment.) But what about an Ubuntu tablet? The svelt, modular Linux kernel has breathed new life into many aging PCs, and Canonical has been working on a netbook-specific interface for Ubuntu for some time. They have multitouch support, now, too, so couldn’t they pretty quickly roll out a wonderful Ubuntu-powered tablet.
The multitouch stuff in Ubuntu is interesting in its own right, since they are developing a whole "touch language" that will allow for chaining touch sequences into sentences of complex actions. I’m actually quite excited to see how this develops, especially since the multi-touch libraries are hosted on Launchpad for public consumption and participation. More on this below.

Enter Rockchip to the arena with their promise of delivering a 3D enabled tablet device that requires no glasses to use. The nice thing about Rockchip design is that it is dual purpose, you can switch between 3D and 2D modes so you are not saddled with something trying to push a particular feature that you might not use, rather you get a tablet device that has 3D tech for when you feel it will be worth using.
The bad news is that the tablet is still in the prototype stage so chances are that it won't be making it onto a store shelf any time soon. However, Rockchip do have plans to build an Android powered tablet using this technology, the idea probably being that a bigger, more well known brand, will re-badge the tablet and sell it.
We are heard about the T-mobile G2 and saw the leaked photos but Now some Real NEWS appeared, A Printed-Sheet has leaked from T-mobile and it contains Details from some kind of T-mobile launch calendar stating that the HTC Vanguard will launch on September 29.
There is no confirmation if this sheet are 100% accurate info but its the 2010 frontline of the company and it may be right. More info coming soon!
