The iPad looks like the iPhone. Oh wait, not anymore. If these pictures are legit and there is very little reason to believe they aren’t then the iPhone will have it’s first visible redesign since it’s inception. Another pic after the break:
One phone that seems to have suffered almost every failing that could come to it is the Palm Pre. A phone we have been excited about playing with for an extended period since its first announcement. So what is our take on the Palm Pre, Precious or Preposterous.
Consumer Focus calculated costs for an English mobile phone user in South Africa on a realistic match day scenario. The scenario used is as follows: Phoning home in the morning to speak to partner / kids – 5 mins, calling a friend in to arrange where to meet before the game – 3 mins, 6 texts during the game, a call home to bemoan a 4-3 loss or celebrate a Rooney hat trick – 7 mins, uploading 10 pictures to the On Tour with England blog site, calling to say goodnight to partner / kids – 2 mins.

The English FA has named its SIM provider for the 2010 World Cup in South Africa to help cut mobile roaming charges during the tournament.
0044 Ltd will provide the FA with South African SIM card and data cards that allow free incoming calls and outgoing calls starting from 19p/min. This will save as much as 80 per cent on call costs, 0044 said.
The FA has a large team on the ground in South Africa in support of the England team’s efforts at the World Cup finals. 0044 said with a tournament as significant as the World Cup it’s vital that the FA’s management team is able to operate in South Africa in the same way they would as if it were a tournament based at Wembley.
0044’s Angus MacLeod said: “Over the years we’ve managed to help thousands of business and leisure travellers avoid roaming charges by providing a simple and easy to use local solutions.
“However, with big sporting events like the World Cup in South Africa it means that organisations like the FA require specialist equipment to help manage the administrative activities which are critical to the smooth running of the England team’s efforts at the 2010 World Cup finals. We’re proud to be associated with the FA and wish them and the England squad every success in the tournament.”
Not satisfied with putting out a cheaper tablet than Apple, Asus is preparing their Eee branding to stick to three tablet/pads.

Canadian network Rogers expects to see the Song Ericsson x10 being updated by Fall. That’s on heck of a long wait for those who have shelled out some big numbers to get the phone. I guess for those taking out a contract on Roger’s now that’ll only be a quarter, or perhaps a sixth of the way into their arrangement.
I’m guessing Android 2.3 will be arriving around about then or at least details of what to expect will be concrete but Sony Ericsson really should have gotten their finger out on this.

The Droid, Incredible, Evo 4G and Nexus One go head to head. Should be interesting to see however the Nexus One has the unfair advantage of Android 2.2. Hopefully we will be able to see this update once 2.2 starts to roll out to the other devices here as the results are terribly surprising.
