  • Rumor: Verizon orders 400,000 Palm handsets

    Rumor: Verizon orders 400,000 Palm handsets

    Someone's gotta help Palm out. After the somewhat lukewarm response to the Pixi and the Pre, it's rather surprising that Verizon would decide to place a big order. Word is though, that's exactly what they did.

    Carrier Billing coming to BlackBerry in 2010

    Good news, everyone! RIM has used the keynote of their BlackBerry Developer Conference to drop the good word on a fairly important topic: Carrier billing is coming to the BlackBerry App World in 2010. Carrier billing is quite certainly one of the most important -- yet mostly unmentioned -- aspect of any App Store's success.

  • Tokyo Game Show: First impressions and a look at Sony’s and Ubisoft’s booth

    Tokyo Game Show: First impressions and a look at Sony’s and Ubisoft’s booth

    I just came back from this year's Tokyo Game Show and must say I am pretty disappointed with the show this year. There were hardly any highlights, Sony didn't show their motion controller anywhere after the announcement during their keynote (picture of the device below/more info later) and staff members often didn't let me shoot any pictures or videos (which I did anyway if there was the chance). Here are some pictures from two booths of the show. The picture on the left shows the final event of the first day (Sunday is the final day). More material from the Tokyo Game Show follows today and tomorrow.

    WWDC 2009: Apple gets serious

    So we got the big reveal: a new iPhone, some hidden tricks in Snow Leopard and the iPhone OS, a lot of rumor run-up and, most importantly, a Jobs-less keynote. In the end we saw another incremental keynote, a session of chest-beating (Palm’s “18 Pre apps in its app store” slide got quite a chuckle [...]

    Gadget Lab Podcast #77: What to Expect From Apple’s WWDC 2009

    In this week’s edition of the Gadget Lab podcast, Danny Dumas and I discuss the strengths and weaknesses of the Palm Pre, as well as the challenges that lie ahead (cough, the App Store). It’s a solid, beautiful smartphone indeed, but will developers wish to code for it? Looking ahead, I lay out my analysis on [...]

  • Android 2.0 “Donut” features demoed at Google I/O

    Android 2.0 “Donut” features demoed at Google I/O

    We're still trying to get used to the overwhelming joy of having Cupcake installed on our G1s, but it's full steam ahead over at Google where engineers are already slaving away on the Donut branch that'll eventually come to be known as Android 2.0. Demoed today at the first I/O keynote were Donut's universal search (known simply as "Android Search"), which will let you search both online and locally on the phone through contacts, calendars, music, and any app with the proper code, and a text-to-speech API, which should allow developers to integrate Google Voice Search-style awesomeness into the apps of their choice. We also got a brief glimpse of handwriting gestures used for searching through list -- the live example was drawing the letter 'e' and going to that specific point in a list of songs. Nothing wildly different interface-wise -- yet -- but we know from the initial 1.0 release that the UI's very much subject to change, not to mention the fact that HTC and others look poised to do some serious customization of their own. Check out the gallery for shots live from the I/O keynote!
