You couldn’t have missed all the coverage of Apples keynote yesterday where as well as announcing Mac OS X Lion and iCloud they also previewed iOS5.

We brought you a fairly in depth post, thanks Patrick, but just in case you wanted to see the new features in action Apple have released a video demonstrating many of them. We were told there are 200 new features all together so don’t expect to see all of them in the video but the main ones are covered.

You can see the video below.

The Vodafone SMART launches

Vodafone’s most affordable smartphone ever has launched today, bringing the Android experience to first time users for just £60 on Pay as you go, when purchased online.

Powered by Android 2.2 (Froyo), the Vodafone SMART offers access to more than 150,000 apps on Android Market, helps you to navigate your way around with Google Maps, and keeps you in touch with friends and family over email, instant messaging and social networks. It’s also pre-loaded with a host of useful features like Vodafone’s ‘Prepay Manager’ for quick and easy top-ups.

With a 2 megapixel zoom camera and a 2.9 inch capacitive touchscreen, Vodafone SMART users can capture and share their experiences on the move on Vodafone’s reliable network, as well as stay connected on WiFi and Bluetooth.

Orange set to launch ‘Signal Boost’

orange-logo

Next Wednesday (June 15th)  sees the launch of the Orange signal boost. Subscribers to the new service will be able to get full signal on their Orange mobile using their existing W-Fi connection.

Whether there are costs involved I don’t know at this stage but it will be a god send to many users and will more than likely drum up some new business for Orange where customers have not previously had an Orange signal at home.

This concept is nothing new as many users of certain handsets can already take advantage of a similar technology in the form of UMA. All BlackBerry devices are UMA supported and when the Orange signal is weak the phone will automatically use a Wi-Fi connection to route all calls and data.

This new service sounds pretty neat if you ask me. We have been invited to the lauch event so we will report back with full details next Wednesday/Thursday.

HTC ChaCha Gets a Quiet CPU Boost

HTC-ChaCha34 The sneaky people over at HTC have quietly updated the ChaCha’s processor by 33% from 600MHz to a nice and solid 800Mhz one and by my remedial calculations, this increase should equal an improved user experience. The ChaCha is one of two handsets from HTC that sport a dedicated Facebook button but it is the only one in their fleet of Android devices that have a portrait QWERTY keyboard.

You can pre-order the ChaCha from clove.co.uk for £252 including VAT and they expect first stock on June 9th, so it will be not long to wait if you wish to have this handset in your possession.

HTC Salsa unboxing video

htc_salsa Announced at MWC earlier this year the HTC Salsa is one of HTC’s new feature smartphones. Many were already calling this the ‘Facebook Phone’ and although there is obvious Facebook integration with this device the HTC Salsa, and indeed the ChaCha, are not official Facebook phones.

However HTC have integrated Facebook nicely in to these phones and we’re starting here with the HTC Salsa. On the Front is a small, physical button with the Facebook logo on it. Pressing this launches you in the the Facebook app. A long-press on this button also allows you to check in at your current location as recorded by the internal GPS.

On top of this you can set up auto-upload of the photos you take with the 5 megapixel camera and these can be synced automatically to your Facebook account.

Check out the unboxing video below for a quick look at the handset in action.
