    Nokia E73 ‘Mode’ coming to T-Mobile next month?

    Posted on May 19, 2010 | No Comments
    This is totally out of the blue, but we were just hit up with a screen shot suggesting that T-Mobile USA will be launching a portrait QWERTY handset from Nokia on June 16 known as the E73 'Mode.' As is evidenced with the Nuron, T-Mobile has a tendency to assign trademarkable names to Nokias in its lineup that are known elsewhere in the world by their model number only, so we imagine that this phone will end up launching globally simply as the E73 as it takes over the E72's throne as Espoo's top productivity beast. More on this as we get it!

    [Thanks, Spenny]

    Samsung looking into bringing Android to the TV

    Posted on April 27, 2010 | No Comments
    Sources at Samsung revealed that they are looking at TV’s that incorporate Google’s Android OS in them. I’m not so sure I want a TV that is quite that intelligent. An anonymous Samsung exec was quoted as saying, “we are considering Google TVs.” It makes sense to license Android, since the application base keeps growing, and [...]

    Sprint Moment and Hero to get Android 2.1 in “the coming weeks” [Updated!]

    Posted on March 19, 2010 | No Comments
    See that image above? It’s notable for two reasons: I’m fairly confident it takes the much coveted title for “Hardest to read leaked document ever”. It, in all of its tiny text, confirms that the Sprint HTC Hero and Samsung Moment will be upgraded to Android 2.1 soon. Update: We’ve now got a more legible picture and a [...]

    We can all stop innovating now. It’s here. The double patty breakfast sandwich. If you’re an inventor, you can lock up your workshop and go home. There’s officially nothing left to improve upon as a society. Unless someone comes out with a triple patty version, that is. Hardee’s new “Double Sausage, Egg ‘N’ Cheese Biscuit” promises [...]

    Video: iPhone hacked to support the Magic Mouse

    Posted on January 4, 2010 | No Comments
    Those gifted gents over at the BTStack might just be too clever for their own good. First they blow our minds by sneaking Wiimote support onto the iPhone, and then tickle our productivity-loving souls by hacking in Bluetooth keyboard support. It's a bit awkward to be typing away on a keyboard then have to reach over and poke the screen whenever you want to do something - wouldn't it be nice to be able to use a mouse instead? Yes, yes it would. And the BTStack guys agree.

    HTC’s 2010 roadmap goes on display?

    Posted on December 6, 2009 | No Comments
    digg_url = 'http://digg.com/hardware/HTC_s_2010_phone_roadmap_leaked'; Those among us with minds like steel traps might recall that HTC's 2009 was leaked with shocking accuracy way back in January of this year, which lends some credibility to this already-believable series of slides we have seemingly showing off most of the good stuff we can expect out of the company in the coming months. The stuff we're privy to here was allegedly presented at a meeting in Vienna back in October, with both Windows Mobile and Android designs broken up into four target demo categories: Design / Lifestyle, Social, Performance (we like the sound of that), and Productivity -- but don't take our word for it. Follow the break for everything you need to know about this very real-sounding downpour of specs and renders.

    How keen are you on touchscreens? Keen enough to navigate Windows 7 while using such a monitor? Acer has a new one, the T230H, which will allow you to do exactly that. A big selling point is that it'll increase your productivity, but I'm not so sure.

    Not much info on this yet, but NEC is apparently preparing a mobile PC that's reportedly as "capable as a personal computer" for business customers. The yet to be named device features three main buttons and a 7 to 8-inch LCD display (which appears to be a touch screen). Sorry, the small picture is all that's available at this point.

A free update is coming sometime in the next few months that will allow Blackberry Bold 9000, Curve 8900, and Tour 9630 to sync with the Redfly C8N and C7.

    SightMax brings live chat customer service to the iPhone

    Posted on July 14, 2009 | No Comments
    On the road? Want to check your website's traffic? Better yet, answer live chat requests from your online customers? Now you can. SmartMax, a company that provides online live chat and monitoring support for businesses, recently introduced an app for the iPhone that will allow you to do just that: iMaximo SightMax Live Chat. We tested the app this week, and were extremely impressed with its capabilities. It plugs into SmartMax's existing server product, the SightMax Installable Live Chat and Monitoring product. SightMax (the server software) provides online businesses with the ability to monitor the traffic of their website, and to embed a Live Chat box within the site. Users click on the chat box to speak with a live customer service representative.
