Bluestreak Technology Inc., a proven international leader in delivering software presentation solutions on multi-screen wireless and wired embedded devices, announced today that the company was selected by Orange to deliver the new Orange cinéma séries on demand service to mobile devices and tablets. Consumers who subscribe to the popular Orange cinéma séries service can now download movies to their mobile devices and watch them offline up to 30 days after it has been broadcasted, at their convenience.
Bluestreak Technology assembled a complete video platform using state-of-the-art technology and teaming up with industry leading partners:
The Motorola Atrix has now appeared on the Orange website and is listed as coming soon. Historically this could mean the Atrix is available on the network from a day to many weeks so don’t get too excited just yet.
The Atrix comes with a dual core processor however I cant see this mentioned on the Orange site which baffles me slightly as you would have thought that with so many Android phones on the market both Motorola and Orange may want to mention this to help sales. Oh well.
There is also no mention of if Orange will sell the laptop dock that you can buy as an accessory.
If you missed our demo video of the Atrix you can watch it here and there is also a reminder of its specification below.
Acer’s Iconia Tab A500 10" and A100 7" tablets have shown up for pre-order on Amazon UK, for £449.99 and £299.99 respectively. Amazon has a release date of April 20.
The 7" A100 looks to be the first 7" Android 3.0 Honeycomb equipped tablet to be shipping. Both tablets are listed with Nvidia Tegra 2 Cortex A9 dual-core processors. The 7" A100 has only 512MB of RAM and 8GB onboard storage to go with the significantly smaller form-factor, though it is expected to have a nice WSVGA (1024×600) display. The 10" A500 looks to be the usual 1280×800 display with 1GB RAM for Honeycomb devices. It shall also ship with 32GB of onboard storage Both tablets are wifi-only tablets that also come with Bluetooth connectivity.
Acer Android products have seen limited success compared to the likes of HTC and Motorola in the past. Their lack of support and history poor response to GPL source code requests does not bode well with the end-users, despite their competitive pricing schemes.
