Watchismo sells Satanic watches from Barcelona
Posted on May 4, 2010 | No CommentsIf you saw the 9th Gate you’ll know where I’m heading with this. Although I love Watchismo, their support of Satan and all of His Works is abhorrent and this watch is a bit to expensive for a nice quartz with what amounts to a Mystery Dial. Barcelona Watches does a little hand waving and tries [...] -

Video: Opera Mobile running on the Nexus One
Posted on February 18, 2010 | No Comments
We had a brief chat with Opera Software product analyst Phillip Grønvold here at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona on Tuesday. We had a conversation about the company's plans to submit an Opera Mini iPhone app up for App Store approval, of which we posted the video interview yesterday.
Another thing we touched upon was the recently announced plans to provide handset manufacturers with a toolkit to get the company's Opera Mobile product preloaded on Android devices. Grønvold demoed the app running on Google's Nexus One phone, and we recorded the video of the app in action.

Opera says Opera Mini for iPhone “100% compliant” with App Store policies (video)
Posted on February 17, 2010 | No Comments
We had a brief chat with Opera Software product analyst Phillip Grønvold here at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona yesterday. We inquired about the company's plans to submit an Opera Mini application for the iPhone / iPod touch in the near future, and also got a hands-on demo of the app in action. Unfortunately, Grønvold was unwilling to demo the app on video, but take our word for it: the browser really is very, very fast.
Grønvold also declined to provide an ETA for the submission of the app to the App Store, but said it is very close to completion so it shouldn't take too long.

No, that shot of the HTC HD2 running Windows Phone is not real
Posted on February 16, 2010 | No Comments
This alleged snapshot of Windows Phone 7 Series running on the HTC HD2 has hit our inbox roughly a dozen times already, so I figured we'd go ahead and clear things up: No, it is not real.
It's really, really late here in Barcelona (as in 4:30 AM), so I've got to make this quick for the sake of getting any sleep tonight.

Posted on February 16, 2010 | No CommentsWe’re in Barcelona keeping an eye on Eric Schmidt’s Mobile World Congress keynote, where the Google CEO just disclosed an interesting fact: Google and their hardware partners are now shipping 60,000 Android handsets each day. Whether “shipped” here means “sold to end users” or “ordered by retailers” is unclear – but regardless, it’s quite the [...] -

As we expected after the leaks last night, HTC has just dropped the good word on three brand new handsets at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.

HTC makes the HD mini official
Posted on February 16, 2010 | No Comments
Only when you're talking about a phone designed in the same vein as the massive (though drop-dead gorgeous) HTC HD2 with its 4.3 inch display would you ever call a phone with a 3.2" display "mini" . That's exactly what HTC's doing this morning in Barcelona, with the announcement of the Windows Mobile 6.5.3-powered HD mini.

Vodaphone’s $15 phone for the developing world
Posted on February 15, 2010 | No CommentsThe mood in Barcelona must be somber, for the city's team lost to Atletico Madrid yesterday. Granted, Atletico Madrid is Barcelona's bogey team, but come on, Atletico Madrid?! Team CrunchGear could beat those guys on the pitch. Still, the Mobile World Congress soldiers on. Here's something that caught my interest—something aside from the Windows Phone!—is the Vodaphone 150. It's for the developing world.

Microsoft to introduce Zune Phone with Windows Mobile 7 at MWC

Although it’s not officially confirmed, Gizmodo has it on good word that Microsoft will be introducing a Zune phone at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona this year. More specifically, it will be [...] -
Samsung to show a bada phone at Mobile World Congress?
Posted on February 1, 2010 | No Comments
Fun Fact: if you were to run a Google Image Search for "bada" at the time I published this post, you wouldn't find a single image relevant to Samsung's bada operating system until the third page, otherwise known as "that page that no one goes to because they've given up hope."
Maybe that'll change once Samsung shows off a smartphone running the operating system - which, if this statement from ol' Sammie themselves is any indication, might be as soon as two weeks from now.

Nokia to have private Connecting People event alongside Mobile World Congress
Posted on December 21, 2009 | No CommentsCES 2010 might be just around the corner, but it sounds like Nokia's next big move might be at Mobile World Congress in February. Well, not quite at MWC: Espoo actually pulled out of the tradeshow earlier this year, but now we're hearing that there will be a private Connecting People event in Barcelona on the first and second days of MWC. That's particularly interesting because one of the reasons Nokia pulled out of MWC was to increase focus on its own Nokia World conference, so we're guessing nothing major will be coming out in Spain -- but we can't help but agree with this poignant Babelfish translation of Engadget Spanish's post on the same subject: "Fulfilled mission, Nokia: you have been able to attract our curiosity."
Nokia to have private Connecting People event alongside Mobile World Congress originally appeared on Engadget on Mon, 21 Dec 2009 15:02:00 EST. Please see our terms for use of feeds.
