BlackBerry 9900 demoed – Video

BlackBerry-Bold-9900-smartphone-3110502123632.jpg&t=5a99f8f2270f91c09d2f6ea15c771b23

If like me you are itching to get your hands on the forthcoming BlackBerry Bold 9900 you will love the following video which was recorded at an event in New York earlier this week.

The Research in Motion representative does a sterling job of demoing the best bits with this new flagship BlackBerry. In particular interest to me is NFC which I am hoping is really going to take off in the future.

If you are not aware of NFC then to summarise it is a new technology that will enable many rich and exciting experiences. Through NFC, users will be able to, for example, pair the BlackBerry Bold to an accessory or read information such as a web link from smart tags by simply tapping their BlackBerry Bold to an NFC tag (eg. Smart Poster).

You can see the video below along with a reminder of the BlackBerry 9900’s specs:

Sony Ericsson XPERIA Neo unboxing video

XperiaNeo-Main We actually saw the XPERIA Neo for the first time a few months ago, it was announced alongside the XPERIA Arc and Play at MWC in February so we’d rather thought that the Neo would go on sale at roughly the same time.

However the Sony Ericsson XPERIA Neo has only just been released so this week a we are going to start our review. First impression is that it’s a really pretty looking handset and has curves that any supermodel would be proud of. The user interface is much the same as the Arc and has the same style overlay to Android including the love-it or hate-it Timescape feature.

The XPERIA Neo is a bit like an XPERIA Play without the game pad, the look similar and are of a similar size. As with the other recent XEPRIA handset the Neo’s camera features Exmor technology from Sony’s Cybershot cameras and Bravia Engine display technology borrowed from Sony’s TV’s. We’ll talk more about all that when we get to the full review. For now you can check out the unboxing video below and see a little of the device in action.

Archos HOME Phone and Internet Radio

archos_35shp_ambiance_handsetFor years there has been a rumoured Archos phone. Finally we have one, however it’s not quite the phone we had hoped. You’ll leave this one behind most of the time as it’s an Android home phone designed for your landline. That said, Archos might have something here, a market that is fairly empty.

 

The ARCHOS Smart Home Phone takes a Home DECT phone and enhances it with Android; that same great interface as on a smart phone along with all those excellent smart phone features; caller name, number and photo display, customizable MP3 ringtones, web and emails. And transferring contacts from your Android mobile phone to your ARCHOS Smart Home Phone is simple though the integrated applications.

Archos 80 G9 and 101 G9

archos-g9-tabletsArchos has are currently unveiling a couple of new tablets in Paris at the moment, the 80 G9 and 101 G9.  The 80 G9 has an 8-inch panel with a 1024 x 768 screen resolution and the the 101 G9 has a 10.1-incher (1280 x 800). Both utilise Seagate’s 7mm Momentus Thin, a 2.5-inch hard disk for slim designed originally for high-capacity laptops, in order to scale to 250GB. Also on board is a dual-core OMAP 4 processor (1.5GHz ARM Cortex A9), support for Flash, access to the Android Market and a full-size USB port. You’ll also get an HDMI output, support for 1080p playback.

The duo are scheduled to go on sale at the end of September, much like the last generation but hopefully not with the same delays that pushed them back to Dec/ Jan 2011. Pricing seems to be around $279 for the 80 G9 and $349 for the 101 G9.

In addition, Archos announced the G9 3G WWAN stick ($49,)  to compensate for the lack of 3G in the tablets. A nice idea to keep costs down as it fits in snuggly into the back.
