Posted on May 7, 2010 | No Comments

The company says its system can identify pirated video material in a "matter of seconds", with a detection rate of 96% and at a false alarm rate of just five in one million cases.

Unfortunately for the livelihood of the aforementioned underlings, they’re now replaceable by a BlackBerry. Following up on the launch of [...] -

HTC’s 2010 roadmap goes on display?
Posted on December 6, 2009 | No Commentsdigg_url = 'http://digg.com/hardware/HTC_s_2010_phone_roadmap_leaked'; Those among us with minds like steel traps might recall that HTC's 2009 was leaked with shocking accuracy way back in January of this year, which lends some credibility to this already-believable series of slides we have seemingly showing off most of the good stuff we can expect out of the company in the coming months. The stuff we're privy to here was allegedly presented at a meeting in Vienna back in October, with both Windows Mobile and Android designs broken up into four target demo categories: Design / Lifestyle, Social, Performance (we like the sound of that), and Productivity -- but don't take our word for it. Follow the break for everything you need to know about this very real-sounding downpour of specs and renders.

T-Mobile pushing CLIQ firmware update today? (update: yes!)
Posted on December 1, 2009 | No Comments
TmoNews seems to have it on good authority that T-Mobile will be rolling out a firmware update over the air to the Motorola CLIQ today -- the device's first since launch -- and we've got good news and bad news. First, the bad: by all accounts, it appears that this'll still be an Android 1.5-based firmware, adding fuel to the fire suggesting that UI skins like BLUR are a huge barrier to keeping devices up to speed with Google's breakneck release pace. The good news, though, is that the update seems to be lined up to fix a plethora of issues involving Bluetooth, touchscreen accuracy (we can attest to this one), connectivity, accelerometer functionality, and -- wait for it -- battery life! Looks like the build number is 1.1.31, so let us know if and when you get hooked up, owners.
Update: We've gotten tips from several users now that they've already been able to nab the update, so it looks like the CLIQ is definitely getting a little better today. Well, hopefully, anyhow.T-Mobile pushing CLIQ firmware update today? (update: yes!) originally appeared on Engadget on Tue, 01 Dec 2009 12:52:00 EST. Please see our terms for use of feeds.

HTC working on a stylus for capacitive screens?
Posted on August 14, 2009 | No CommentsMeat digits. Sausage fingers. Call them what you will, but some people’s hands are just a bit larger than others. “Finger friendly” for one person doesn’t necessarily mean “finger friendly” for another. As of late, the trend in handsets has been toward capacitive touchscreens, which is bad news for the big-boned; while the screens [...] -
Report: Steve Jobs Happy With Apple’s Tablet, Fast Tracks It For Early 2010
Posted on July 24, 2009 | No Comments
You may recall back in December, we first reported the news about Apple gearing up for the launch of a large form iPod touch. While there had been no shortage of rumors over the years about some sort of Apple tablet, our sources indicated the device would be akin to Apple's current mobile devices, the iPhone and iPod touch, which are both seeing booming sales. A new report from AppleInsider seems to confirm this news, and gives some new details.
Most importantly, after months and probably even years of tweaking, the device is now said to have Steve Jobs' seal of approval. All we all know, even now, that is perhaps the single biggest determining factor as to whether a device will see the light of day from Apple. Jobs apparently likes this new device so much, that he's "cemented" into the company's 2010 roadmap of products, AppleInsider says citing sources well-respected "for their striking accuracy in Apple's internal affairs."
And we shouldn't have to wait a year or more for the device, the goal is Q1, according to the report. This indicated just a small slip from the Fall 2008 launch that we had initially been hearing.
