The new MacBook Air models launched a few weeks back and shortly after it was noted that installing Flash on the MacBook Air killed battery life, knocking a good chunk (two hours) of the run time on the said laptop.
Engadget interviewed Adobe’s Shantanu Narayen and specifically asked what those result mean for the future of Flash… of course the question was partially dodged although Narayen also indicated that a beta version of Flash for the MacBook Air is being built. This kind of means they are aware of the problems and are working on a solution. [Read more…]

The image below shows what could be classed as a White Verizon iPhone 4. A few differences have been circled such as Verizon in the status bar, the antenna band and the lack of a microSIM card slot.
Although it technically could be real, we are inclined to think its just a fake and that someone has photoshopped the black line off the antenna in the bottom right as well as photoshopping over the microSIM slot. As for the Verizon mention in the status bar, perhaps the device is jailbroke and the status bar is customised. [Read more…]

More details of the Sony Ericsson X12 Anzu have been revealed. The new device is expected to launch early next year installed with the Android 2.2 operating system. The Android 2.2 install will then be followed with Android 2.3 after launch (update rumoured for Summer 2011).
When Sony Ericsson launched the X10, it came with a very old version of Android and took a long time to be updated. It isn’t clear if this impacted sales at all or not, but it still left a few people frustrated and wanting the latest version of Android. Lets hope this new version will soon be updated to 2.3 rather than waiting as long as X10 owners did for 2.1. [Read more…]
