Nexus One 3G issues ensue, is it a hardware problem?

0 komentarDiposting oleh Exclusive Online Fitnessdi14.45




A very frustrated N1 owner posted this video on YouTube displaying how he can make his Nexus One “lose 3G”. By simply placing his hand at the bottom of the handset, the signal switches from 3G to EDGE, seemingly at will, possibly meaning it is an antenna issue. Hopefully Google can issue another sneaky update that smashes this error, otherwise this would be something called — a defect, which can into something even worse — a recall. Video after the cut.

Breaking: Palm Halts Production Of Entire Smartphone Line?!? UPDATED

0 komentarDiposting oleh Exclusive Online Fitnessdi14.45




According to the QTR Global Report, three sources have confirmed that all Palm smartphones — the Palm Pre, Palm Pre Plus, Palm Pixi, and Pixi Plus have been halted for production. According to one of the sources, “The decision is very sudden, and Foxconn was told to reduce all February Pre forecast to zero on Wednesday and nobody knows whether shipment will resume in March.” Could it be that Palm is being sold? Is Palm completely scrapping the whole product line for a new one even though the Plus Series just came out? On a personal note, days ago I was in contact with Palm PR over a review unit for the Pre Plus and received a swift response. After a question was asked, within 2 days my emails were unanswered. The breaking news report is after the jump! [BGR]


UPDATE: At Engadget they’re reporting that Palm has called off production temporarily as an observance of the Chinese New year.


UPDATE #2: And here’s an official statement from Derick Mains, Palm’s director of corporate communications.


Palm regularly adjusts its product manufacturing levels to manage inventory. In anticipation of the Verizon Wireless launch and Chinese New Year, we increased production levels prior to February, and anticipate ramping production back up after the Chinese New Year ends.


Moving on….



Palm Inc. Alert

Palm Orders Production Halt of Pre and Pre+ in February

February 11, 2010


PALM, S, VZ, 2038 HK, 8078 TT


Sources: 3 sources Taiwan handset component supply chain (all repeats)


Key sources in the Taiwan handset supply chain said Palm Inc. has ordered assembler Foxconn International Holdings Co. Ltd. to suspend production of both the Pre and Pre+ in February. "The decision is very sudden, and Foxconn was told to reduce all February Pre forecast to zero on Wednesday and nobody knows whether shipment will resume in March," said a key source. The source said the CDMA2000 Pre to Sprint and the CDMA2000 Pre+ to Verizon were affected.


Pixi Production Suspended Too?

One source said Palm also told Compal Communications Inc. to suspend shipment of the Pixi and Pixi+ in February, while another source said that production is still going ahead with the Pixi+ to Verizon, but actual delivery in February will amount to less than 5,000 units.

HTC Legend set for March release according to KPN’s site

0 komentarDiposting oleh Exclusive Online Fitnessdi14.45



There’s no doubt that the HTC Legend is coming, and is the successor to the Hero. The Netherlands’ KPN has listed the Legend on its site for a March release, and you can sign up for updates when it comes out.  Of course, the official unveiling is very likely due at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. From the plain looks of it the snapshot of the Legend is an official press photo from HTC, so probably KPN just jumped the gun and went for it. Some specs have dripped from this too: 256MB of RAM and 512MB of ROM on board, AGPS, WiFi, an FM radio, 3.2-inch display and 5 megapixel camera. Hopefully the name will carry on to launch, and I’d like it to anyways.

Windows 8 “mindblowing” and “completely different”. Really?

0 komentarDiposting oleh Exclusive Online Fitnessdi14.45




This week several Microsoft employees took it to their heads to talk about Windows 8, without actually talking about Windows 8 directly. The MSDN blog title was "Whats in store for the next Windows”. The reason why I said that in past tense is because Microsoft promptly took it down, but no worries:


"The minimum that folks can take for granted is that the next version will be something completely different from what folks usually expect of Windows – I am simply impressed with the process that Steven has setup to listen to our customers needs and wants and get a team together than can make it happen. To actually bring together dozens and dozens of teams across Microsoft to come up with a vision for Windows.next is a process that is surreal! The themes that have been floated truly reflect what people have been looking for years and it will change the way people think about PCs and the way they use them. It is the future of PCs…


John Mangelaars, Mirosoft's Regional VP of Consumer and Online is quoted to have said "[Apple is] doing well on the PC side but Windows 7 is a blockbuster. We got it really right. For me, Windows 8 will be mind-blowing.” So the guys at microsoft are really pumped up about Windows 8! Even if this is just publicity or Windows Geniune Advantage, either way Windows 8 looks like something to be excited about, just like Windows 7.

Bill Gates on the iPad: It’s a “Nice Reader”; Disney CEO “Game Changer”

0 komentarDiposting oleh Exclusive Online Fitnessdi14.45



Bill Gates ‘ take on the iPad is well, meh. While Steve Jobs thinks netbooks are good at nothing, our good buddy Gates thinks exactly otherwise:


“You know, I’m a big believer in touch and digital reading, but I still think that some mixture of voice, the pen and a real keyboard – in other words a netbook – will be the mainstream on that.”


He goes on to say that the iPad is a “nice reader” but not another product or idea that makes him wish that Microsoft had done it first, say the iPhone. But as for Disney CEO Robert Iger, he brings out that dreaded word “game changer” and says that the iPad will bring “essentially new forms of content.” may we not forget that Steve serves on the Disney board, so this could just be a courtesy call. Either way, Disney could come up with some day I say “game changing” ideas that could possibly make Gates envy the iPad. So now, ultrathin sleek tablets, or fast small and nimble netbooks — what say of you, sir?

Google’s ISP Plan To Offer 1GB/sec Fiber-Optic Broadband To More Than 50k Homes

0 komentarDiposting oleh Exclusive Online Fitnessdi09.40



Kudos to Google. They’ve created Android, Gmail, redefined the cloud, conquered the search engines, will have the Chrome OS, built Chrome the web browser, yesterday Buzz, and now? Google’s planning to offer an “experimental” ISP broadband service. Un-bel-iev-able. This plan is to offer Internet browsing speeds of up to 1GB per second, being 20 times faster than all of the other ISP clowns in the room. On its blog Google says:


We're planning to build and test ultra high-speed broadband networks in a small number of trial locations across the United States. We'll deliver Internet speeds more than 100 times faster than what most Americans have access to today with 1 gigabit per second, fiber-to-the-home connections. We plan to offer service at a competitive price to at least 50,000 and potentially up to 500,000 people


Comcast, Verizon and AT&T? They must be joyful. Putting this deathblow aside, Google plans for the service to be deployed to 50,000 homes, and up to 500,000. Price? “Competitive” Google says. They’re doing it on a trial basis and will push forward things like being more open-source. Now just imagine: Google could create an Android home phone that could make call using Wi-Fi — the possibilities are endless! Video after the jump.

0 komentarDiposting oleh Exclusive Online Fitnessdi09.40



Moto already dropped the bomb on their Facebook page, but simply saying the Droid is getting Android 2.1 is not enough, is it? Which is why at the source link below there’s the release notes. Otherwise, as a recap for those of you who are ignorant of the update’s offerings, the Droid will get full multitouch in Maps, Browser, and Gallery, as well as an improved virtual keyboard, voice recognition updates, the new 3D Gallery, Google Goggles, and a few other minor bug fixes. No alert as to when the update will be put over-the-air, but Moto says users should get an alert when it’s ready.
