Three confirm they will sell the iPad mini

ipm_2

Hot on the heels of yesterdays Apple’s press event Three have today announced that in the coming weeks it will offer iPad mini and fourth generation iPad. They are also keen to stress some data speeds which I can only presume is because EE will be going live with their 4G network next week.

Three will offer these new iPads with a range of attractive data plans that will allow customers to connect to its Ultrafast network, planned to cover almost 50% of the UK population by the end of the year with average speeds of 6-8 Mbps.

iPad mini, a completely new iPad design that is 23 percent thinner and 53 percent lighter than the third generation iPad, and features a stunning 7.9-inch display, Apple-designed dual-core A5 chip, ultrafast wireless performance and an incredible 10-hours of battery life. The fourth generation iPad has a gorgeous 9.7-inch Retina display, Apple-designed A6X chip with blazing fast performance, a new FaceTime HD camera and even faster Wi-Fi performance. Both iPad mini and fourth generation iPad come with iOS 6, the world’s most advanced mobile operating system with over 200 new features.

LinkedIn for BlackBerry updated and now it actually works!

LinkedIn

If you use a BlackBerry and have been frustrated that the LinkedIn app does not download to your device then good news for you today. Version 2.0 is now available to download from BlackBerry App World and where as prior to the update the app would not download or work on many devices it seems all is good now.

I installed it on my BlackBerry Bold 9900 today and its UI is quite beautiful. If you don’t use LinkedIn maybe now is the time to start as it is integrated into BlackBerry 10 which is the only reason I have bothered to set up a profile recently.

You can grab the app direct from your BlackBerry here.

Bargain of the day from Expansys – The Huawei E586 3G HSPA+

4241-7415-large

Discount time if you are looking for an unlocked Huawei E586 3G HSPA+ MiFi 21Mbps Mobile Broadband. For today only Expansys have the device available for only £79.99 including free shipping.

The Huawei E586 is a mobile Wi-Fi hotspot (Mi-Fi). It’s the solution to having high speed internet on the move for all of your Wi-Fi enabled devices, saving you money by not needing to buy internet access in a Wi-Fi hotspot (e.g. on a train) and by not needing multiple SIMS for each individual device (e.g. smartphone & iPad). Also it’s perfect for locations that are unable to receive conventional broadband.

Encased in a stylish silver and white design, the E586 is small and light enough to forget about when carrying it in your bag. It’s roughly the size of a small mobile phone and weighs 90g. Fully charged expect a decent five hours of work time with the Wi-Fi on and a rather ridiculous 100 standby hours when it’s switched off. Plus unlike a dongle, the E586 doesn’t need to be plugged into your USB port for power so it won’t drain your devices battery.

Order your discounted MiFi here.

Win the chance tomorrow to see the new Bond film ‘Skyfall’ before the public thanks to Heineken

404x404_TheDropFB

EVENT OVERVIEW

  • In October 2012, as part of Heineken’s CRACK THE CASE campaign, we are offering 5 UK consumers the chance to win tickets to the Heineken Skyfall screening in Leicester Square
  • To win, consumers in London use Twitter to locate a real case inside a strict time limit
  • The case will be carried around London by an agent who will open it at exactly 3pm on Saturday October 20th
  • The first 5 players to be physically find the agent and the case ("Crack The Case”) will each win a pair of tickets

HOW IT WORKS

  • On October 20th, from 1pm onwards, a map with the location of the agent/case will be tweeted every 15 mins.
  • Players click on the map to vote for the next location.
  • The goal is to be the closest to the case when it is opened ("cracked") at 3pm.

But while the time is fixed, the location isn’t. Instead, you will have 2 hours to guide our agent around EC1 via Twitter. So, from 1PM, you’ll have to get her as close to you as possible, so that you’re the first on the scene when the drop goes down. It’s an interesting experiment, and we have no idea where Twitter will send the agent. I really hope that you and your readers will be up for playing along! Follow @Redstar_1873 and #TheDrop to keep up with the action…!
