Microsoft Streetside Will Arrive in Europe Soon

Microsoft has begun photographing Europe with its camera cars. The service is called Streetside and has been available in the US since December 2009. The service is described as being a direct competitor to the popular Google StreetView service.

Microsoft set out camera cars yesterday in London to capture images of the streets and map them in to a virtual world. When the camera cars have finished in London, they will then start tackling major cities across Europe although Microsoft is taking a slightly different approach in that it will only capture major cities and attractions rather than every single road across Europe like Google does.

HTC Sensation 4G Details Announced

I have mentioned the HTC Pyramid previously and over the last few months, we’ve seen technical specs leak and we’ve seen a render of the device. We now have the full and official details. What we learn is that the new device will be called the HTC Sensation 4G.

The specs mentioned back in February hinted at a dual-core 1.2GHz processor from Qualcomm. The chip was identified as the MSM 8260 processor and we actually find that the same processor has made it in to the official specifications. The other detail leaked about the device was the screen which was leaked as a 4.3 inch qHD display and we also find that these details are also correct. The screen will have a resolution of 540 x 960 pixels. The screen is in a widescreen aspect ratio of 16:9.

New details show that when launched, it will run the Android 2.3 Gingerbread operating system and that it will come with 1GB of internal memory as well as 768MB of RAM.

Cisco Flip Shutting Down

You are probably more than aware of Flip cameras. Over the last few years, the company behind the camera became quite popular in the blogosphere due to the cameras they created that could easily connect to a USB port on a computer transfer captured video to YouTube and other video services.

The company originally behind it was Pure Digital Technologies who sold out to Cisco for $590 million. We now hear that Cisco is closing the division down and along with it, 550 employees will also go. [Read more…]

TomTom Pro 9150 GPS Launches – Includes Vehicle Tracking

TomTom has launched the TomTom PRO 9150 GPS unit. The new satnav unit includes a 5 inch screen and has been designed for business users. As well as being able to show drivers the best route to travel, the unit also works with WORKsmart and allows real-time communication to an office which in turn, can let management know where its drivers are.

This might seem a bit obtrusive for some, but for a business it allows the company to work more efficiently such as working out which driver is closest to a call out. Rather than having to phone around, the main office can speak direct to a driver who could be minutes away from a call out. [Read more…]

The FCC Take a Look Inside the Motorola Bravo

The FCC has taken apart the Motorola Bravo and pictured it to let us see what’s inside. The reason the FCC do tests is to make sure that each device sold adheres to the guidelines in regards to frequencies and what not.

What we see on the image below is what goes on inside the Bravo. We see a number of chips on there with the 800MHz TI OMAP processor and iNAND flash memory from Sandisk. A camera sensor is also on show (top of the middle image) as well as a SIM card slot. [Read more…]

iPhone 5 Infographic Puts All the Rumors Together

The iPhone 5 could launch in June this year, although there has been a bit of talk of it not showing up till September of this year. Either way, the iPhone 5 (or 4GS) will eventually arrive and with it, a few tweaks here and there.

The infographic embedded below, shows a number of changes that might happen to the next generation iPhone and also gives a percentage of how likely the change will be made.

Some of the obvious changes include an updated camera, perhaps 8 megapixels on the back. We also hear that the Home Button might be dropped in favor of the multi-touch gestures used on iOS 4.3 (for developers). This is a little less likely due to 4/5 finger gestures being next to impossible on the small screen. We hear a slightly larger screen will be used, perhaps 4 inches. Again, Apple has always used the smaller 3.5 inch screen with the only main difference being the higher pixel density Retina Display on the iPhone 4. [Read more…]

Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 to get Android 2.3 Gingerbread

After believing that the Sony Ericsson X10 had been put away in terms of getting no more Android updates, we now hear, or surprisingly hear I should say, that the device will soon be getting Android 2.3 Gingerbread. Before we continue, note that this it the X10 only and not the other variations of the X10.

Back to the Android 2.3 update for the X10, we were told months ago that there would be no more updates beyond Eclair for this series of smartphones, but for various reasons, all covered here, we hear that SE has changed its mind and will be pushing the new update out either late Q2 or early Q3 this year.
