    Slacker Radio for Windows Mobile coming today, iPhone app to get station caching soon

    Posted on March 24, 2010 | No Comments
    With Slacker Radio being one of the few music-discovery/custom-radio-station type dealies that I use almost every day, I figured I ought to stop by their booth at the smaller, press-only CTIA gathering called MobileFocus. I’m glad I did. Though it hasn’t gone live just yet, the gents reppin’ the floor for Slacker let us know that [...]

    New Bada UI screens look new-agey, familiar
    Okay, so HTC doesn't own exclusive rights to create a flip-clock displays on phones, but the style is something of a hallmark of Sense UI and now here one is in Samsung's Bada platform -- though seemingly tucked away in the date setting window. That's just one of a set of new screens uncovered at Samsung Hub showing off a media player that loves to show off album art and to truncate artist names, a photo browser full of delicious stock imagery, and that very familiar looking home screen to the left above. Things really don't look bad at all, but we're still having a hard time getting excited about this one.

  • Palm Pre WebOS 1.3.1 update available now

    Palm Pre WebOS 1.3.1 update available now

    Posted on November 14, 2009 | No Comments

    Filed under: , , ,

    webOS 1.3.1 was always destined to come alongside the launch of the Pixi, but it's surprised us by showing its face a day early. No app catalog bombshells here, but there are a slew of more minor fixes and updates that should make users experience a great deal smoother. Is this the update that finally unlocks access to the GPU and provides the speed boost Pre owners are waiting for / advances the iTunes chess match another step? We'll let you know once our unit reboots, for now here are a few highlights from Palm's list of changes:

    Update: Downloaded, applied and rebooted. iTunes still isn't spotting our Pre as a device to sync with, and at least for the moment there's no great speed increases to speak of, but we have noticed a few more key tweaks that owners are sure to like -- setting a specific ringtone for text messages is exactly what we've been looking for.
    • Yahoo! now appears as a Calendar/Contacts/instant messaging synchronization account.
    • You can forward a text or multimedia message by tapping the message > Forward.
    • A new option is available for restarting the phone: press and hold power > Power > Restart. The prior restart method (Device Info > Reset Options > Restart) is still available.
    • Widescreen videos (including YouTube) now display in widescreen mode on the phone by default, instead of being cropped.
    • If you tap to play a YouTube video embedded on a web page, the YouTube application launches and the video plays in the app.
    • You can select a unique ringtone for new message alerts: Open Messaging > application menu > Preferences & Accounts > Sound > Ringtone.
    • While listening to a song with album art displayed, you can tap the screen below the art to display a playback slider. Dragging the slider jumps forward or backward in the song.

    We knew that Sony was working on Blu-ray MegaChangers since CEDIA 2008, but we didn’t know that it would take almost a full year to get our hands on ‘em. Anyway, here they are: the $800 BDP-CX960 and the $1900 BDP-CX7000ES. What’s the difference you say? Well, actually, plenty - not $1,100 worth, but there is a [...]
