  • HTC Legend debuts on Virgin Mobile in Canada, glances furtively southwards

    HTC Legend debuts on Virgin Mobile in Canada, glances furtively southwards

    Posted on June 11, 2010 | No Comments
    The phone, the myth, the Legend has just become available over in Canada, giving North Americans their first taste of that aluminum unibody construction. It's looking highly likely that this is the same handset we saw gracing the FCC's pages not too long ago, indicating that Yanks should be getting in on the fun relatively soon as well. AT&T already let one HTC cat slip out of the bag today, guess this confirms the Liberty won't be feeling lonely in Ma Bell's Android cupboard whenever it does launch. And hey, Canadian friends, just think of the Legend as consolation for your teams not sniffing the Stanley Cup the past three years.

  • Vertu Ascent 2010: same pretension, new specs

    Vertu Ascent 2010: same pretension, new specs

    Posted on May 10, 2010 | No Comments
    Vertu's not big on press releases, so you'll have to forgive us for missing this a few weeks back -- but it seems that Nokia's little outpost of opulent, over-the-top luxury has just released an updated version of its time-tested Ascent range. The so-called Ascent 2010 features a 5 megapixel camera (up from the Ascent Ti's 3), 8GB or 32GB of on-board storage depending on the version (up from 4GB), and quadband 3G. It also has AGPS with preloaded maps (Vertu's carefully avoiding the plebian Ovi Maps branding here, but we'd imagine it's more or less the same thing), a 2-inch QVGA sapphire crystal display, and a sweet chronograph display (pictured) that undoubtedly makes the phone worth every one of the thousands of dollars you shell out for it. You can pick it up now in your choice of aluminum or titanium bodies with a variety of colored leather accents from luxury retailers around the globe -- and don't forget to pack your checkbook before you hop in the Roller and head down there, obviously.

    The Dell Latitude E6410 and E6510 bring Core i5, Core i7, and discrete graphics

    Posted on April 7, 2010 | No Comments
    Dell has been building notebooks under the Latitude nameplate, well, forever, right? It seems that way, but the series keeps trucking on as the company continues to load the latest goods onto the platform. The E6410 and E6510 builds upon the success of the previous generation but ditches the 2009 specs for chips that are a bit more 2010.

    When will I be able to get one? If you hit the stores, I suspect your local Apple store may have some in stock. This isn’t iPhone level hysteria. If you order one now on-line, though, you won’t get one via UPS until April 12. If I go today, will I still be able to get one? Call [...]

    Handset manufacturers are usually pretty good about holding their tongue about specific release dates until the launch date is a sure thing, so it’s not too often that we see delays in the mobile world. What’s even more rare than a delay, however, is something shipping way earlier than expected. And yet, that seems to be [...]

    According to Answers.com, a billet is "a small, usually rectangular bar of iron or steel in an intermediate stage of manufacture" or "a small ingot of nonferrous metal." I didn't know that. I also didn't know that you could get an iPhone case crafted out of such a material. But the Internet, my friends, holds many wonderful secrets. And you can, in fact, get a beautiful metal iPhone case manufactured out of brass or aluminum.
