A couple of days ago, Google announced that they had just received the last shipment of Nexus One’s. But today, Google has just sold out of Nexus One’s on it’s online store. The Nexus One was the official Google developer phone and was wildly known as one of the best handsets out there, even though it did not catch on outside of the geek community.
However, as we said a couple of days ago, the Nexus One will still be available through Vodafone in Australia, France, Germany, Italy, Spain and here in the UK with a contract of course. So you can get the Nexus One if you really want it from Vodafone, but you better hurry, as they will stop selling them when they run out of stock.
There is only one thing to say. Nexus One, we will miss you.
After the recent leaked screen shots and videos of BlackBerry 6, RIM have decided to release some official stuff on the ‘inside BlackBerry’ official blog.
As you will see below RIM have given some teasers of multimedia on BlackBerry 6 which we all know that will be pretty hot and certainly a huge improvement over the current offerings.
We may have mentioned giffgaff once or twice in the past and we quite like the way in which they operate, offering their customers, or members in their lingo, rewards for helping other members or for referring friends that then become members.
Today giffgaff launched a new iPhone app that allows you to look after your giffgaff account, refer your friends and to read and participate in their forums.
confidence has created an iPhone application called Mygiffgaff which is a beautiful execution of a very useful program that allows you to check your giffgaff balance as well as see which goodybags you have active and which one you have queued up.
This week Gareth, Andy, Matt and James are chewing the fat about Apple, HTC and Blackberry in this action packed mobile podcast. The iPhone 4 resolution is upon us, the Nexus One is being laid to waste and RIM put a little effort in Blackberry.
If you saw our post on Windows Phone 7 yesterday you would have been directed over to engadget where they have done some great hands on work with WP7. In additionI have just stumbled upon an interview they did with Joe Belfiore who if you are not familiar with is the VP for Windows Phones.
The interview is fairly informative and you can see Joe discussing WP7 features that will be both present and non present at the launch later in the year.
It sure sounds like Microsoft have been working their socks off with this project and they need to. This could be make or break for them in the mobile market. I suspect the success of Windows Phone 7 will not go the same way as the KIN devices have done recently.
Head on over to Engadget and check out the interview.
Not so long ago a colour laser printer was a luxury item even for larger businesses and you’d have to have been a seriously hardcore user to warrant one for home use. It wasn’t just the cost, my first colour laser was cost me around £4000 ten years ago, but the size of the older models was also quite prohibitive. I recall that the one I had was about the same size as a small refrigerator and took three of us to carry and move in to location.
Obviously things have changed a lot in the past few years and like everything else the price of colour laser printers has tumbled and new technology has enabled them to drastically reduce in size. This HP Colour LaserJet CP1515n that we are reviewing for it247.com is not much larger than an multi-function inkjet printer and would probably find a place on most peoples desks at both work or home.
The cost may also surprise you, £180.15 including VAT for a colour laser printer is quite incredible! Oh and don’t forget the £50 cashback!
So does the size and price lead to a quality compromise? Read on to find out.
Over the past few days various websites have been reporting that the HTC Ace will in fact be called the HTC Desire HD.
While nothing is confirmed we have been informed by a few different reliable sources that the Ace will indeed be released at the HTC Desire HD and not under the HTC Ace codename. Personally I liked HTC Ace as a device name but it seems that it’s not to be.
Earlier today we showed you the forthcoming web kit browser from RIM courtesy of salomondrin.net and the goodness continues. In the below video he shows us the media features on the BlackBerry 9800 Slider.
As you will see the visual changes to the music player, photo gallery and video player are pretty amazing. As well as looking great the new OS seems to flow beautifully and is rather nippy. See how quickly the screen rotates.
I am so excited about this I need to go have a wee.
Nobody can say that they’re particularly surprised about this one. As the US carrier Verizon, has just confirmed that they are no longer going to sell both Kin phones and they are going to be returning them back to Microsoft. Who themselves just threw in the towel on the Kin project at the end of last month. We are told that all existing Kin’s will work as Microsoft is keeping the back-end services running. But as so few Kin’s were sold, I wonder how long this will continue to happen. This phone was meant to be released here in the UK later this year, but because of this monumental fail by Microsoft, it is safe to say that we will never see it coming across the pond.
It seems a long time ago that we had the official announcement of Windows Phone 7. In fact it was only in February but for a lot of us thinking about the new platform it has been in the back of our minds as it is not due for release until the end of the year.
Microsoft have now released WP7 devices to developers so we can now get a proper look at the new platform and give it a real run for its money. As I am not clever enough to be a developer we are not one of these lucky few but the guys over at engadget have done a great piece including some rather impressive video.
Although I am eager to have a go of WP7 I must be honest and say that I am not really excited about it and I think that partly comes down to the user interface. It may be one of those things that grows on me and you never know, I could fall in love with it. Also, with the lack of certain features at launch, such as copy/paste and the lack of true multi tasking I cant wait to see if this will be a deciding factor on whether to purchase a WP7 device or not.
Anyway, head on over to engadget and have a look at the work they have done. You may want to make a coffee first. It is a big article!
