Sony Ericsson outs their first full-touch Walkman-branded feature phone: Yendo
Posted on June 16, 2010 | No Comments
You know, not all of us want a smart phone. There are people out there who only use a mobile to make calls, send texts, and listen to a few tunes.
They're not the ones reading this blog, though. Maybe you know one of them and want to pass this information on?
Anyway, Sony Ericsson today announced (alongside their next Android handset, the X8) their first ever full-touch, Walkman-branded, probably-not-very-expensive, feature-phone: the Yendo.

Motorola’s Sanjay Jha talks tablets, Android, HTC, and more
Posted on May 27, 2010 | No Comments
It looks like an investors conference hosted by Barclays earlier today was the place to be for anyone looking to get Motorola co-CEO Sanjay Jha's thoughts on, well, just about anything, as he took advantage of the occasion to address about as wide a range of topics as you could ask for. That even includes the topic-du-jour of tablets, which Jha says makes sense as a "companion device," adding only that Motorola is "engaged in thinking about the right solution there." Jha also addressed the issue of Motorola possibly building or acquiring its own OS by saying that "nearly all of my focus is on Android today," and that any other OS would have to match Android's capabilities. On that Android note, Jha also said that Motorola would be "aggressive" in bringing Android 2.2 to its phones (taking a Flash-related shot at Apple in the process), and he said that he wasn't concerned about the HTC Droid Incredible eating into Motorola's own Droid sales, noting that the company has more Droid phones in the pipeline that he's "excited" about, including some for Verizon -- the Droid Shadow, perhaps? Still with us? Jha also confirmed that Motoblur now has more than a million users, and that Motorola will be introducing a new version of it "later this year." That's all to say nothing about Motorola's feature phone business, its plans to sell smartphones in China, and Jha's own new role when Motorola splits into two companies next year. Dive into the links below for all the details.Motorola's Sanjay Jha talks tablets, Android, HTC, and more originally appeared on Engadget on Thu, 27 May 2010 15:26:00 EST.

The Wall Street Journal is reporting that AT&T’s planning on doubling the early termination fees for smartphone contracts from $175 up to an oh-so-painful $325, with the fee dropping by $10 [...] -

Posted on May 12, 2010 | No Comments
It must be Spring, because it looks like the little Androids are multiplying.
Today sees another mid-range Android device previewed before being set upon the masses. This time it's from Samsung.
Specs are a bit scarce at the moment, but as it stands, the device appears to run Android 2.1, 802.11n, 3G, a (possible) 240x400 display, 3.5mm headphone jack, and MicroSD slot.

Verizon misses the point of the Kin, prices it out of its market
Posted on May 5, 2010 | No CommentsWell, there goes that. The Microsoft Kins seemed like a good system. Online reviews are somewhat positive, at least most say the Kin shows potential. But it doesn't matter. Kin One and Kin Two are likely going to be the only ones of their kind and will only be around for a short while. Verizon killed the platform when it decided that these feature phones need an expensive smartphone data plans.

Cricket’s 2010 product lineup leaks, Kyocera Zio priced and dated
Posted on March 30, 2010 | No Comments
I hadn't realized it until just this second, but it's been way, way too long since we've seen a monstrous carrier leak. I suppose after the heavily-detailed data dumps from the likes of AT&T and T-Mobile in 2009, the carriers have been tightening their grip. Fortunately, that hasn't kept what looks to be the majority of Cricket's 2010 product line up from leaking out.

Remember Project Pink? Whatever Microsoft's secret hardware initiative was? Well, it's real and it's coming to Verizon. You'll see the Turtle, shown here, first, and it will be sort of a Sidekick that won't run Windows Phone. Verizon will launch this like they did the Droid, aiming the might of their armies at flogging this to the feature phone user.
