Its barely announced but Treocentral are giving one lucky person the opportunity of winning a GSM Treo 850w. Why am I telling you? I have my guess of when exactly the Treo 850w is being released in and my fingers will be crossed right up to September. The 800w is getting mixed reviews Stateside, however that is an improvement over recently reactions to their ageing product line.
Looking for small business web development near me, I spotted an interesting article at the Windows Mobile Blog which explains in quite a bit of detail the process involved in deploying new Windows Mobile OS’s along with updates etc and why it takes so long before we actually see them on devices. You know like when they announced Windows Mobile 6.1 way back in February and we are still waiting for updates in July 5-6 months later. You can read the full article after the break.
Gizmodo has a few funny adverts that will raise a smile for some of the new and old tech on the market. Nice to see some recurring themes here. These are the highlights of a competition run recently over at Gizmodo. I think No.2 was robbed of the No.1 spot.
Over at MTV Muliplayer spoke to John Koller the senior marketing manager for PSP indicated greater things for the GPS implimentation:
Sony will launch a GPS add-on for the PSP early next year. Alongside it, there will be gaming applications.
I am visiting France for a family holiday but would really like to be able to stay online while I am away, I have been looking around for the best way to get 3G access but it seems it is going to be a very expensive thing to do. I have a 3 USB Modem and they have no roaming agreements so would charge £3.00 per MB for data which is very very expensive. Does anyone have any cheaper solutions or is it possible to get a pre-pay mobile broadband set up while I am in France, my information is that you can only get mobile broadband in France by signing a 12 month minimum contract which doesn’t help. If anyone has any solutions or suggestions please leave a comment. Thanks
Whilst the n95 is no bad thing, in fact, a pretty funky phone, I couldn’t help a yawn slipping out as I read this brief report about the n96. Nokia seem to be releasing a new phone every single month and you can barely keep up with them. The n95 has been around for a while and I believe it is possibly the most popular phone around the UK at the moment. A bold statement, but count just how many there are. N96 is coming whilst all those n95 fans are still in contract so will probably disappear quietly. Specs after the break:
Microsoft has just released an updated version of Windows Live for Windows Mobile, from the Windows Mobile Team Blog site "The latest bits for Windows Live Client for your Windows Mobile are available for download. To get yours now, point your mobile browser to http://wl.windowsmobile.com.
What is the Samsung i908? Global Certification Forum have given it GSM compliancy. The Unwired have an article that guesses this is the North American variant of the Omnia. Hope this means everything is on target for the August release date. This certainly looks like one of the most exciting phones of the year.
Just been tipped off about a video from hdblog.it They have done a great side by side comparison of the Opera Mobile 9.5 browser on the HTC Diamond and the Safari browser on the Apple iPhone 3G opening web pages and rendering speeds. Its a very interesting watch and shows the two browsers are very similar in speed. Of course what we do not know is what speed the HSDPA network is operating at as the HTC Diamond is capable of HSDPA speeds of up to 7.2mb/s against the iPhone’s 3.6mb/s. Full video after the break.
Three are offering mobile broadband with free USB modems and a 5 Gig allowance for £7.50 per month with an 18 month contract. This is an amazing deal and the links can be found after the break. We recently reviewed this mobile broadband and found it to work great in City Centres but not so good outside of these areas. Full details after the break.
