The Nintendo 3DS uses a screen technology that can show 3D images without the user having to wear special glasses.
Nintendo recommend that those using the console are over 6 years old and that 3D time be limited. [Read more…]
The Samsung Vibrant 4G has been rumored for a while now. The device is designed for the T-Mobile network, but up till now it has just been rumors.
What we see here is a photo of the said device. What was also revealed by the source of the information was that it is running Android 2.3 with a description of it running smooth as well as well as being “stupid fast”. [Read more…]
A lot of questions have been asked about what screen resolution the iPad 2 will have. Some suggested a Retina Display whilst others pointed out a Retina Display pixel density would put the resolution at 2560×1440 AKA, the same as a 27 inch iMac.
Thanks to some investigations done by StroughtonSmith, some images were found that were labeled [email protected]. Just before the launch of the iPhone 4, similar images were found that were called [email protected] which ended up resulting in a screen with a 2x resolution (on both edges).
This leads a number of people to thinking that the next gen iPad, AKA iPad 2, will have a 2048×1536 resolution. Although this might not technically be a “Retina Display” as it doesn’t quite hit the 300PPI mark, it does get close at 260PPI. [Read more…]
We just found out today that the LG Optimus 2X is capable of capturing HD video at 1080p. The new smartphone captures the Full HD with an 8 megapixel camera (video sample below).
As well as being able to capture full HD it has a number of features that make it quite desirable. The operating system running on the X2 is Android 2.2 at the moment although an upgrade to Android 2.3 is expected shortly after launch. [Read more…]
Before we begin, we first need to point out that some people are reporting that problems do happen when using this method, so we can only suggest proceeding with a lot of caution.
We’re hearing from RedmondPie that an unofficial version of PwnageTool just got released and that this same tool is capable of jailbreaking the iPhone 4 running the first beta of iOS 4.3 that was released a couple of nights ago. [Read more…]
If you are running in to problems getting Multitouch Gestures activated on your iPad running iOS 4.3 Beta 1 then the problem is relatively easy to fix.
When you have updated to iOS 4.3 beta 1, you might just see the “Use Side Switch to:” additional item in the General Settings menu with the multitouch gestures options missing. If this is the case just follow the instructions below… [Read more…]
We’re hearing a few things today about the iPad and iPhone next gen models. First up comes from BGR who reports that the next gen models will not have a home button. Instead of tapping a home button to jump back to the screen, or double tapping the home button to launch the multitasking panel, instead you’ll use gestures that have been found in the just uploaded iOS 4.3 beta.
Both the iPad and the iPhone are expected to go this route and perhaps even on the iPad 2 and iPhone 5 models coming out this year. [Read more…]
We hear today that when T-Mobile launch the Samsung Vibrant Plus it will connect up to the 4G network, which we already knew, but that it will be capable of transfer speeds of 21+ Mbps which is quite amazing.
Of course, to get those speeds you need to be in perfect conditions, but still it’s certainly not something to complain about at all. [Read more…]
As well as announcing the Verizon iPhone yesterday, some comments were made after the press event that indicated a CDMA iPad will also be launching soon.
Rather than users needing to buy the iPad and a mobile hotspot from Verizon, like has been the norm for the past few months, users will soon be able to purchase an iPad that works on the CDMA network. [Read more…]
When Verizon announced the iPhone 4 yesterday, there weren’t many changes at all. The changes to hardware included a slight change to the antenna because of the device using CDMA, and a lack of a microSIM slot due to a SIM not being needed.
The only software change made to the Verizon version was in the settings menu where a new item called Mobile Hotspot was spotted. When enabled, it allows users to set up the iPhone 4 as a mobile hotspot and let other users connect over WiFi or Bluetooth to it. The iOS running on the Verizon iPhone is 4.2.5 which is slightly higher than the GSM model of the phone. [Read more…]
That thin black bar seen on the bottom left corner of the iPhone 4 caused a number of issues for Apple in the early days of the smartphone launch.
The problem for some people appeared when holding the phone in the left hand. When the hand bridged the gap over that black bar, the signal dropped dramatically when out on the fringes of a network. Apple responded by giving away a free bumper or 3rd party case to all iPhone 4 owners. [Read more…]
