Apple to allow VoIP over 3G
Friday, January 29, 2010 Leave a Comment
There are a number of Voice over IP (VoIP) apps for the iPhone, but Apple has always insisted they run using wifi. This isn’t just a quibble by the App Store approvals dept. – the iPhone Software Development Kit (SDK) is designed not to allow the 3G link to be used in that way.
Until now, [...]
Nexus One gets a dock
Friday, January 29, 2010 Leave a Comment
Strange that Google didn’t hold some kind of big event to show this off – almost as though there was something bigger happening in the tech world – but yesterday saw the official announcement of the Nexus One dock.
Unlike the two docks for the Motorola Droid/Milestone, which turns the phone into either a mini-widescreen multimedia [...]
T-Mobile UK secures exclusive Samsung Galaxy Portal deal
Thursday, January 28, 2010 Leave a Comment
T-Mobile UK has managed to secure Samsung’s new Android-powered handset, the Galaxy Portal, on a one month exclusivity deal and a three month deal on the colour black (for the handset that is.)
The phone doesn’t have overwhelming specs, with just a 3.2 megapixel camera and a 3.2”, 8.1cm, screen, but it does come with built-in [...]
Apple unleashes the $499 iPad
Thursday, January 28, 2010 Leave a Comment
Okay, so we were expecting it – maybe not the name – but definitely some kind of tablet PC. Still the iPad is a fairly beasty-looking machine, too with a custom built 1Ghz processor, the ARM-based Apple A4, powering the 9.7” display.
Despite the grunt from the processor and the large multi-touch screen, Apple claim the [...]

Thursday, January 28, 2010 Leave a Comment
Having scoured all the competing app download services for prices, the statistical wizards at Distimo have concluded that the Android Market is officially the cheapest distribution service for apps. Not by much though, so don’t get cocky, Android owners.
Android Market’s average price clocks in at just $3.27 (£2) with its nearest two competitors, the Ovi [...]
Zune Phone rumours resurface
Thursday, January 28, 2010 Leave a Comment
The Zune Phone – it’s the rumour that just will not die.
Everyone expected Microsoft to strike back against the iPhone with a souped-up Windows Mobile device that would really show what the platform could do, but it has never really happened.
It would be cruel to suggest that showing what the WinMo platform is really capable [...]
Nokia X6 16GB Comes Without Music
Tuesday, January 26, 2010 Leave a Comment
The Nokia X6 is a great, high-end touch phone with 32GB of storage and lots of multimedia features, all of which made it an ideal handset to showcase Nokia’s Comes With Music service.
All this loveliness comes at a price, however, with a SIM-free X6 retailing for between £400-£500. Although the UK is now officially out [...]
Another HTC handset spotted – the Supersonic
Tuesday, January 26, 2010 Leave a Comment
Another day, another HTC leak; this time it’s the new Supersonic that’s been spotted by the worst photographer in the world, who also appears to have discovered the paint brush function on Photoshop.
The Supersonic doesn’t just have a rather cool name, though. It’s rumoured to use WiMax technology that allows for a whopping 10Mbps wireless [...]
