March 24, 2010 by Leave a Comment

T-Mobile have announced that they are offering the Dell Mini 10 netbook with a built in T-Mobile compatible 3G service.

The battery has six cells and can store 56WHr of energy allowing for up to 8 hours of usage on a single charge which we assume was tested with all features switched off such as Wireless as well as a fairly dim screen.

Some Apple iPhone Apps removed from iPad by Steve Jobs – Rumour

March 9, 2010 by Leave a Comment

It seems like the iPad is going to be shipped with a few missing apps that were originally on the iPhone.

The information comes from John Gruber of DaringFireball who is usually bang on with the information he posts on his site. From what we know and believe, the Apple iPad will ship with 12 built-in apps that include the likes of a Calendar, web browser etc… Those missing include Stocks, Calculator, Clock, Weather and Voice Memos… so where are they?

The basic answer (or rumour) is that Steve Jobs decided to scrap them as they didn’t function like he wanted them to on a larger screen. You may notice that calendar had a full revamp for the iPad making use of the larger screen allowing for appointments to actually be seen in monthly view. It doesn’t seem to be the same for the apps that are missing in that they don’t essentially “look the part”. [Read more…]

HTC Incredible Pics Leaked

March 5, 2010 by Leave a Comment

Some leaked shots of the HTC Incredible have been found on the web that show the device from the front and back (without cover). There’s nothing specifically new here other than they are different pictures to what you might have seen before which is always a good thing.

The pictures were found by a user on Twitter called DevDroid who passed the details on to Android Central.

What we currently know about the HTC Incredible is that it will run a HTC Snapdragon CPU that we think will be clocked at 1GHz along with having 256 MB of RAM. The screen is estimated at being 3.5 to 3.7 inches running in a WVGA resolution. It is also expected that the screen will be AMOLED due to how vibrant the pictures have looked in previously leaked shots. The phone will run Google Android when it launches (probably 2.1).

Averatec N1200 Netbook is Thinnest and Lightest

March 2, 2010 by Leave a Comment

Averatec have unveiled the Averatec N1200 netbook that claims to be the thinnest and lightest on the market.

The netbook weighs 2.2lbs and measures just less than an inch thick. The netbook has an Intel Atom N450 processor allowing it to be a little quicker than older netbooks and also have a better battery life thanks to the power efficiency of the N450 CPU although it must be a tiny battery as it only gets about 3 hours per charge for some reason on the smaller capacity battery. The extended battery doubles that to 6 hours.

For storage it has a 160GB hard drive. Memory wise it has 1GB of RAM built in that can be upgraded to 2GB. For connectivity it has WiFi that can connect up to 802.11n networks. [Read more…]
