Palm Pixi hits FCC with EVDO and Wi-Fi
Posted on December 14, 2009 | No CommentsIt looks like a Wi-Fi-enabled version of the Pixi is hitting Verizon next year, at least according to this FCC filing. The filing shows CDMA/1x EVDO and Wi-Fi support along with Bluetooth and matches with the expected P121EWW model number (Sprint’s is P120EWW). So if you’re on Verizon, love you some Wi-Fi, and would consider the [...] -
Nokia offers sneak peek at improved 2010 Symbian user interface
Posted on December 3, 2009 | No Commentsdigg_url = 'http://digg.com/gadgets/Nokia_offers_sneak_peak_at_improved_2010_Symbian_UI';
You know that new Symbian user experience promised by Nokia for next year? Want a sneak peak? Although Nokia's downloadable slide-deck from its Capital Market Day event leaves out all the new UI visuals, fortunately the webcast has 'em all. And if we're not mistaken then that's a wall-to-wall capacitive multitouch slate up there from Nokia's conceptual studios. As Nokia tells it, the Symbian OS is not the problem, the UI is -- and we agree. In 2010 new hardware and tweaked software will reduce Symbian's clutter, add multitouch input on "large capacitive displays," minimize steps to request functions (2-taps to get to favorite music or video instead of 8, create an email account in 2 steps, not 4), significantly improve the browser experience, and make the entire UI 3 times faster than current high-end Symbian products while taking scrolling to 60fps (up from 15fps used today). Notably, Nokia will remove more than 350 user prompts that make using Symbian so frustrating today. The user experience promises to be so good that Nokia CEO, Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo, calls it "magical." Us? Sweet, but it's only slideware for now. Watch the rousing video after the break.
Update: We added a link to the 51MB PDF containing all the presentations. Bonus points for spotting our quote about the N900. [Thanks, Pasi]Continue reading Nokia offers sneak peek at improved 2010 Symbian user interface

And we’re back!
Posted on November 30, 2009 | No CommentsYou may have noticed things have been a bit quiet on the MobileCrunch front for the past few days. After a few months of nose-to-the-grindstone, the siren call of over-packed plates and family good times stemming from the Thanksgiving holiday was too much; we locked up shop for a few days, headed home, and had [...] -

New DROID ads released, actually show off a bit of Android
Posted on November 9, 2009 | No CommentsIt took them a while to get past all the “iDon’t” nonsense, then they followed up with that mysterious space-phone campaign, but it looks like Verizon’s finally using their commercials to actually tell people what the Droid is. Three new ad spots hit the interwebs today. The first shows off Google Navigation. The second walks you [...] -
Google’s Being Picky About Who Gets To See Android 2.0
Posted on October 26, 2009 | No Comments
Well, this is a bit of a strange twist. For the first few months after launch, the development mentality surrounding Android was a developer's dream. Huge chunks of the operating system were made open source, the development team was pleasantly transparent, and the roadmap clearly sketched out the trails ahead. Then they released Donut, and all went more-or-less mum. It was no secret that Android 2.0, codenamed Eclair was to follow - but what such updates would contain was anybody's guess.
Well, Google's finally ready to share the innards of Eclair with the world. And by "world", we mean a small group of developers hand-picked to attend an invite-only, NDA-required development event.

LG BL40 New Chocolate review
Posted on October 19, 2009 | No CommentsFiled under: Handsets, LG, Orange, HSDPA
You know the deal by now: we grab a slab of fresh new hardware, fiddle, play, and tinker with it until exhaustion or boredom is reached, then wax poetic about the whole experience, with a side serving of pictures and videos thrown in. Today's candidate for a grilling is LG's BL40, which is now available in Europe. You'll be familiar with it already from our hands-on look last month, but do join us past the break where we explore what's under the glossy hood in more detail, and give you a definitive answer on just how useful that elongated screen really is.

Yeah, Apple wasn’t integral in Light Peak transfer technology
Posted on September 30, 2009 | No Comments
So Apple wasn't so integral in that whole Light Peak thing after all. Rumors that Apple was integral in the design Light Peak process seem to be false which could put a damper on Apple's plans to implement the technology in its new hardware.

Video: New HTC Hero ROM gets demoed, appears lag free
Posted on August 19, 2009 | No Comments
We love the HTC Hero to pieces around these parts. Really. Even after spending a few days tearing it apart for our review, the only bad thing we could find to say about it was that the sporadic lag on the homescreen harshed our buzz.
Well, now HTC has gone and fixed that. Paul of MoDaCo managed to get his hands on a pre-release copy of an upcoming Hero ROM update, and sure enough: the lag is gone. Paul jumps from homescreen to homescreen, breezing around the interface like he was ice skating on frozen butter. We're still not sure when this thing is coming to a stateside carrier - but when it does, expect the interface to be damn near perfection. Check out the silky smooth video after the jump.
