Windows Mobile 7 ‘Maldives’ test program reportedly on track for Q1 2010 release to OEMs
Posted on November 10, 2009 | No CommentsFiled under: Software, Windows Mobile
Ballmer may have wanted it to be out yesterday, but it looks like the initial release of Windows Mobile 7 may now finally, actually be in sight. According to ZDNet Taiwan, the mobile OS is now on track for a release to OEMs for testing (the so-called "Maldives" program) sometime in the first quarter of 2010, and will be launched publicly sometime in the third quarter of the year (or about a year after the release of Windows Mobile 6.5) -- all of which more or less lines up with earlier rumors of a release to manufacturing in Spring 2010. If past history is any indication, however, it seems likely that the earliest builds of the OS could be circulating around the usual channels well before that -- probably right on the heels of the release to OEMs.

Buy your kid this Astro Boy netbook but keep it for yourself
Posted on October 27, 2009 | No Comments
I hear (via John's review) that Astro Boy is a fine movie. I doubt I will actually see it until my boy catches wind of it in a few years. but I tell you what, this Astro Boy netbook is geek chic and I sort-of want it. The specs are standard fare with an Atom N270 CPU, 1GB of RAM, 160GB hard drive, and XP home, but it's the special edition lid that I can appreciate. It's notebook art done right; clean, simple but yet slick. So here's what you do.

Sense UI update for HTC Magic makes the scene in Taiwan
Posted on October 26, 2009 | No CommentsFiled under: Handsets, HTC, Android
If our ability to guesstimate Chinese website contents based on sketchy machine translation software is correct, it looks like HTC Magic owners in Taiwan are finally getting that Sense UI update they've been teased with since mid-August. Further blurring the lines between the aforementioned handset and the Hero, it is unknown whether or not the update will ever come to carriers besides Chunghwa Telecom, or how long that could even take. One thing we are fairly certain of, however, is that phones "with Google" will probably remain without this update, into perpetuity. Sorry, myTouch! If you're one of the lucky few, hit that read link to get started.

ASUS Android smartphone unveiling to be ‘this year’
Posted on October 19, 2009 | No CommentsFiled under: Handsets, ASUS, Android
It's short and sweet but we thought you'd like to hear the good news doled out by ASUS chairman Jonney Shih and CEO Jerry Shen at a local press meeting in Taiwan today. Shih says that the company's first Android phone will be "unveiled this year," not next as originally rumored. For a second, it makes you wonder what's going to happen to the OS underpinning the ASUS-Garmin nuvifone G60 -- then you remember that you weren't going to buy that phone anyway.

HTC unveils the Tattoo
Posted on September 8, 2009 | No CommentsHTC’s naming conventions are kind of funny. I was almost hoping that after the Hero they’d call this the HTC Ninjastar or the HTC Hobo, but sadly it ended up being the Tattoo. The Tattoo runs the Sense UI, which is great++ and it has a 3.2 megapixel camera, 3.5mm headset jack, and MicroSD memory [...] -
Rumor: Tegra-based devices running Chrome OS this month?

HTC Magic to officially get Sense UI
Posted on August 17, 2009 | No Comments
Good news for you, HTC Magic owner. Over the weekend at an event held in Taipei, HTC announced that the second generation Android device would be getting a UI overhaul ala Hero. Pretty rad, right? It is if you live outside the US because the T-Mobile myTouch 3G with Google ain’t getting it.
Don’t act surprised. It’s been made clear in the past that anything branded “with Google” cannot be altered because of licensing issues. And don’t think that your Vodafone Magic is getting it either because both the UK and US Magics have 96MB less RAM than all the other Magics in the world. That’s a big pile of suck. So, yeah, those of you in Taiwan who have a Chunghwa Magic will be the only ones to benefit from the update.

HP will have an 11.6-inch netbook

Buckle up. HP is apparently prepping its own 11.6-inch netbook (not pictured above) for release later this year. There's literally no information about it other than ODM giant Quanta will be producing the thing, so I'll not fluff this piece too much with superfluous text.
