Looks like good news for all of you Motorola Dext or Cliq owners out there, Android 2.1 is set to be coming to your device in the near future.

In a tweet from MotoMobile, the official twitter account of Motorola in Chicago, they announced that:

Its official: Moto CLIQT users can look forward to an update to Android 2.0 in the future. Timing to be announced closer to availability.

Followed by a correction:

Apologies for the confusion, everyone. Our CLIQ users can look forward to an update to Android 2.1.

We’re just waiting to see how long before we get to see Android 2.1 on the Droid/Milestone, I figure it wont be long though. Keep an eye on the MotoMobile twitter account as they seem to tweet frequently with updates!

HTC to partner with Brightstar Europe

HTC announced today that they have signed a distribution partnership with Brightstar Europe. This should allow HTC to improve the speed with which their accessories enter the distribution channel.

HTC sent us this press release:

LONDON, UK – January 12, 2010 – HTC Corporation, a global designer of mobile phones, has today announced it has signed a pan-European master partnership agreement with Brightstar Europe to develop the distribution channel for its official accessories line.

Brightstar Europe’s expertise in logistics and stock management will help improve the availability of HTC key accessories and the speed in which they can be ordered and delivered, while reducing minimum order quantities. The new agreement will help existing HTC distribution partners across Europe better meet the needs of their clients and end-users.

“HTC has become known for the unique experience its mobile phones provide. The same culture of innovative thinking and design is applied to produce a rich portfolio of accessories that complement and extend this experience for the user,” said Florian Seiche, Vice President at HTC Europe. “We have formed a new partnership with Brightstar Europe to invest in what is an increasingly significant sector for HTC. The pan-European deal will enable the accessories team at HTC Europe to focus more on the needs of its distribution partners, to better support their businesses.”

Rod Millar, President of Brightstar Europe said, “We are happy that HTC has chosen to partner with Brightstar Europe to accelerate the growth of its accessories business across Europe. By utilizing our state of the art logistics and infrastructure, we believe we can shorten HTC’s time to market, satisfy demand and quicken turnaround time by providing significant vendor support to its partner distribution channels.” 

The deal will establish Brightstar Europe as the master distribution partner of accessories in Europe for HTC’s leading phones such as the HTC Hero, Tattoo and the newly launched HD2. The partnership will commence in Q1 2010.

Voice Band for iPhone review

iPhone apps are everywhere. Do you know that Doodle Jump iPhone game was even mentioned on The Bing Bang Theory TV series? However from time to time comes an app that makes our jaw drop to the floor. And Voice Band app is such an app! It’s almost revolutionary!

So, imagine that you could create music just with your voice. No longer pressing touch screen in a rhythm. Just use your voice – the most natural and original (!) way to make music! Imagine that you could convert your voice to musical instruments!

Yes, there is an app for that and we have tried it! To listen to a song created by us, click here (MP3 file).

Nexus One Enterprise?

There has been so much ‘News’ surrounding the Nexus One over the past week, many of the mainstream media outlets have even give it some coverage.

One story that seems to still be making the headlines is that Google is apparently ‘Awash’ with complaints about the Nexus one and is poor, patchy or in some cases, non-existent 3G coverage. The support forum for the Nexus One has literally hundreds of complaints about the 3G issue, many being passed backwards and forwards between T-mobile and Google’s own support team.

With all the excitement and news comes even more rumour and speculation so we’ve heard something this morning that is interesting, and somewhat more positive than 3G problems.

Rumours have just started to surface that there will soon be another version of the Google handset, ‘Nexus One Enterprise‘. If the rumours are to be believed the new handset will have a sliding hardware QWERTY keyboard.

It does seem like a logical progression and I for one would love to see a QWERTY version of the device. Thoughts?

 

Lets just hope that these 3G issues can be ironed out soon!
