14. July 2008

The Playstation Portable is boosting its music playback capabilities with firmware 4.05. Nothing official yet, but there seems to be an added visualization while you’re playing music. The v4.05 firmware will certainly come soon, but what I’m really looking forward to is the implementation of a new Sony patent that puts “digital tactile pixels”on a [...]

Unlocked 3G iPhone Sold on Negri Electronics… Also Locked Ones (Probably) at BestBuy and RadioShack

27. June 2008

We’ve heard about Negri Electronics before and their penchant for, er, exaggeration. Their over-excited online retailing techniques aside, they can be relied upon to keep an eye on the most interesting releases. It comes as no surprise to me that besides the 3G iPhone, Negri also has in stock the BlackBerry Bold, HTC Touch Diamond [...]

Appleinsider reports that Apple, Inc. has ordered 17 million iPhone, 2 million of these with EDGE-only, 15 million 3G.

The Samsung P3 will remind you of Sprint’s Samsung Instinct, although this PMP is an exact copy of the Samsung SCH-W420 TNT phone using metallic buttons instead of touch-sensitive Chocolatey keys below the screen. Like the Sprint Instinct, the P3 will benefit from Haptic feedback on its huge touchscreen. It will probably be promoted as [...]
