Windows Phone 7 is getting launched today. At the event we expect to see details about new smartphones being made available as well as launch dates, pricing and details about what apps will be made available.
TMoNews managed to get some leaked shots of one of the devices we have seen a number of times. The device is the HTC HD7 that we first heard of a month or so ago. It is expected that the HTC HD7 will be a flagship device.
The image (render?) shows a T-Mobile branded HTC HD7. It is expected that the T-Mobile version will ship with 16GB of memory which is double what the other variants will get. RAM wise, it is expected to get 576MB. [Read more…]

iFixit has followed tradition and has now managed to get hold of a Nokia N8 to tear apart.
The N8s unique feature is that it has a 12 megapixel camera sensor. To cram the sensor in, Nokia actually made the camera protrude out of the case a little to keep the casing thinner.
The camera flash uses a Xenon flash tube that is similar to those found in real cameras. [Read more…]
When Skype for Android was released a few days ago, US users, as well as a few others, lacked the ability to make 3G calls.
Thanks to some smart hackers, 3G Skype calling is now possible on a number of devices. To get it to work, you need to sideload a modified version of the application. [Read more…]

Next week, Sony will announce the details of its new Google TV. The event will be held in New York on October 12.
Rather than waiting till then, perhaps you might want to take a look at some of the details that have already leaked. Some details were found by Sony Insider that reveal we could be seeing several Google TVs which include a 24 inch, 32 inch, 40 inch and 46 inch variant. Model numbers will be the NSX-24GT1, NSX-32GT1, NSX-40GT1 and the NSX-46GT1. The numbering shows that the TVs are in the same range with perhaps only size being the only difference unless the 24 and perhaps 32 inch models do not get full HD at 1080p. [Read more…]
An announcement by Facebook has been made regarding new surprising updates to it’s social network which, according to the developers, “gives more control over how they use their Facebook pages”.
For a while now facebookers have been crying out for changes to be made on how information and status updates are sent to groups and friends and wanting the ability to send messages to a just select group of people instead of everyone finding about your more embarrassing moments over the weekend.

When Apple [AAPL] first announced the iPad, a number of people said it would fail. However, the iPad has now launched and sales figures show that it was far away from being a failure in that 3.27 million were sold within the first three months of it going on sale.
It took just 28 days to sell the first million. Comparing this number to the original iPhone that took 74 days to sell 1 million, you get the impression that the adoption rate is high.
One analyst says that the iPad has the fastest adoption rate ever although this is based on some estimations. [Read more…]
When the HP Slate was first unveiled at the beginning of the year over at CES we expected that it would be available a few months after. But as we now know, Apple announced the iPad shortly after and released it a couple of months after that. We are still waiting for the HP Slate.
HP then purchased Palm which included webOS and the Windows powered Slate kind of dropped of the radar a little. We are still unsure of HP’s plans and if they are to launch a Slate or not, but Steve Ballmer mentioned yesterday that a Slate would arrive by Christmas. [Read more…]
Samsung has a goal of shifting 10 million Samsung Galaxy S smartphones within the first year of launch. Just a few months after launching the smartphone around the world they have already hit 5 million. Just a month ago an announcement was made that 1 million of them had been shifted in the US.
It’s hard to say if they will reach the 10 million target as demand for the phone will naturally die down as various other Android smartphones get launched. However, they are off to a good start.
With the launch of the Samsung Galaxy Tab around the corner, this will also boost sales of the range of Galaxy Class devices. [Read more…]
