Today’s announcements by Nokia (there are many to sort through) have shocked a lot of people. The major focus here is that Nokia will now use Microsoft (Windows Phone 7) as their primary platform for smartphones. I want to emphasise that this is a revenue generating strategy. It doesn’t include disruptive computing devices which indicates [...]

At HP’s media event yesterday, they unveiled three devices. Chippy told you all about the TouchPad, and he and Thomas gave you some early thoughts to consider. Here we’ll give you the low-down on the other two devices, the Veer and the Pre 3, and talk about bit about how they fit into HP’s webOS strategy.

Thomas and I watched the HP event as close as we could this evening (Credit to Engadget and Twitter!) and I think it’s fair to say that we were both impressed with the might of the announcements. The main event for us was the launch of the Touchpad and after just a few hours of [...]

I’m watching live blogs of the HP WebOS event where there’s no mention of Palm! They’ve talked about WebOS and launched the HP Touchpad. This is targeted squarely at the iPad market. It couldn’t look more similar but with dual-core CPU and a great OS, this could be something you might want to team with [...]

Linpus, a company that has been working on Linux distributions for netbooks for a number of years under their ‘Linpus Lite’ brand have been invited to MWC to demonstrate their current offering in the MeeGo and Qt booths. The solution is targeted at manufacturers of netbooks and tablets based on MeeGo. Like MeeGo, the Linpus [...]

I’ve already posted about what I think will and won’t be part of Intels activity at Mobile World Congress next week and a recent ‘media alert’ sent to me by email confirms my thoughts that this is largely a software event for Intel. It’s all about completing the MeeGo stack from hardware to app store [...]

There is no doubt that the Motorola Xoom / Honeycomb combination has caused a lot of tablet buyers to hold-back on their purchases. It’s understandable because they will want to see what Android 3.0 and the dual-core processor offering really gives them in terms of value for money. I’ve just finished adding the Xoom to [...]

We showed you the Identity Tab [tracking page] unboxing and gave you a quick preview of the device just the other day. Now we’ve got a gallery full of photos for you to get familiar with the aesthetics of the 7” Android tablet. We’re still waiting on the Android 2.2 build with official Android Market [...]

Today Google officially launched a new version of their Android Market website at a press conference hosted at their Mountain View based headquarters. The new website offers a fully featured Android Market experience with the ability to browse, purchase and download new applications direct to your Android device. The new website is expected to be [...]

We’ve mentioned the other day that we had an Enspert e201 inbound for testing, and it has arrived. I had to chase the FedEx truck several blocks down to get the box yesterday, and I did it all for you, dear readers! The Enspert e201 (which is available soon, exclusively from Dynamism) is being branded as the Identity Tab, here in the US. Join us for an unboxing and preview of the device after the break!

We’ve got an Aigo AigoPad N700 here that has kindly been sent over by Think4Mobile in the UK. It’s a preview model and something that may, or may not, make it to European markets. Given the rough seas right now and the specs of the N700, we’re not sure it has the right stuff to succeed. See our article below and the video at the end for more information.

With 18 Meego Job positions posted in the last month it’s difficult to imagine Nokia making a move away from it and when they are also looking to build new types of Meego devices alongside the main business it hints at even longer term commitment. The full story is over at Meegonews. http://meegonews.com/2011/02/01/nokia-jobs-signal-meego-commitment-new-devices/#respond

Google confirmed last Friday that they are hosting a press event on Wednesday to discuss their upcoming Android Honeycomb release and share some details on the future of the Android ecosystem. While manufacturers have already detailed their upcoming Honeycomb powered devices at CES in Vegas, Google have yet to share any detailed information about Honeycomb [...]

$450 for a 3G-enabled (HSPA+ no less) 7” tablet on one of the fastest ARM-based processing platforms there is with hardened capacitive multitouch screen a 5mp auto-focus camera and Android 2.2 isn’t a bad price at all. It beats the Galaxy Tab on price and performance, that’s for sure. The only problem is that, as [...]
