HTC Legend – Another Leaked Pic

The HTC Legend has been snapped a few times before and here we find another picture of it, but this time the picture also was sent with a number of specs to let us know exactly what will be included with the phone.

The Legend looks to have an aluminium casing that wraps around the edges of the phone. The smartphone has a 3.2 inch HVGA AMOLED capacitive touchscreen and the phone is powered by a Qualcomm MSM7227 processor that runs at 600MHz.

Other features include a fairly decent five megapixel camera that uses an LED flash to light subjects. For connectivity it has Bluetooth 2.1+EDR and WiFi. [Read more…]

Apple iPhone to get Opera Mini Browser App

Opera will be unveiling Opera Mini for the Apple iPhone at Mobile World Congress this month. The company promise that they will offer a fast and easy to use way of connecting your iPhone to the internet.

To achieve the speed Opera will use it’s own compression technology to shrink pages down and load them up faster. As well as providing good page load speeds, the smaller pages also allow for lesser data transfer to be used which in some cases, could help you stay with in your limits.

Features included in the iPhone Opera Mini application are tabs, speed dial and a password manager. [Read more…]

Google Nexus One Phone Support Arrives

Since Google [GOOG] launched the Nexus One the company only gave online support which upset a few people. Yesterday the search company announced that phone support would now be made available for those who use the Google Phone.

This move comes after a month of the phone being first made available and allows phone users to call support if needed. The number to call is (888) 48NEXUS (63987) and lines are open from 4am to 7pm PST.

With a phone service now in place it will allow users to call for all technical issues along with shipping issues. It’s a big change from what Google normally does as the company generally use email, forums and populated FAQ sections to answer questions some of which aren’t the friendliest of places to get answers.

BlackBerry to get Two-Way Sync on GMail

Documents were leaked online for BlackBerry Internet Services 3.0 that show two-way sync to GMail is finally going to arrive on BlackBerry devices. What this will allow the smartphone to do is update GMail with items read and sync them in both directions.

Although it must be interesting for BlackBerry users to finally get this functionality, this has been available on most other smartphones for several years now and shows how far BlackBerry phones are behind on some of the protocols.

Although the update will be made available soon it will be up to the individual carriers to push it out to BlackBerry phones which means a number of users could be waiting longer than others. [Read more…]

LG Arena Max LU9400 Leaked

The LG Arena Max LU9400 has been leaked by a site over in Korea. The Arena Max has been spotted before clearing WiFi certification and this, as far as I am aware is the only other information available right now.

The phone appears to have a 3.5 inch screen that’s touchscreen. A step up from the original LG Arena shows this model to have a Snapdragon processor from Qualcomm that runs at 1GHz. For connectivity it has the usual WiFi and Bluetooth arrangement. GPS is also included on this phone allowing for location based services to be used as well as navigation if software permits.

HTC Incredible Photos and Videos Spotted

Some leaked pictures of the HTC Incredible smartphone have appeared online that show off the Android 2.1 device running the HTC Sense UI.

The Incredible runs a Snapdragon CPU (we assume to be clocked at 1GHz) and has 256MB of RAM. The WVGA screen measures around 3.5 – 3.7 inches and from what the tipster says, the screen could be AMOLED due to how vibrant it is.

Towards the bottom of the device an optical mouse pointer can be found and around the back on the “different” orange coloured back plate a couple of LED flashes can be seen. [Read more…]

HTC HD2 Arrives March 24 on T-Mobile

An image was posted on the ppcgeeks forum that shows the alleged date for the HTC HD2 to launch on the T-Mobile network in the US. The date shown on the image says we can expect the phone on March 24. No other information on the HD2 is provided other than it being Windows mobile based.

From what we learned recently, it seems like the HTC HD2 might come with some extra RAM and ROM which some say could be a preparation for Windows Mobile 7 although other hidden memory was recently found on other versions of the phone. It will be interesting to see if the T-Mobile version of the HD2 is the same as others when launched. [Read more…]

Apple iPad UI Detailed Tour

CultofMac have posted some interesting information on the Apple [AAPL] iPad and the user interface that it uses. Although a number of people have complained across the web about how it’s just a large iPod Touch, it makes you wonder if it does need to be different.

What Apple have said about the iPad is that it “improved the experience of doing every day computing tasks” ie, email, browsing and photo slideshows. This is where the iPad excels due to the larger screen. Although I can currently send emails from my T-Mobile G1, Dell Mini 9 netbook or regular laptop while on the move, that doesn’t mean it’s a streamlined process. Take the netbook for example, it’s small and takes several minutes to boot and finally load up web based outlook…. but the iPad aims to change that by providing a decent interface with quick connectivity.

Apple iPad first of Several? New 15 Inch Model Coming Soon?

We thought that with the official announcement of the Apple iPad last week that it would put an end to all rumours about the iPad. However, we are still hearing several things such as the possibility of the device actually having a webcam built in. This particular rumour started because of an image captured at 9 minutes 9 seconds in to the Apple [AAPL] keynote speech last week where something was spotted in the top bezel of the iPad just above the screen. This small object could be just an ambient light sensor though although interestingly enough, MissionRepair received some iPad spare parts this week which an internal frame has a cut out that just happens to fit a MacBook webcam inside. Perhaps version two of the iPad isn’t far away.

The rumours don’t stop there though as the iPhone OS 3.2 also shows some reference for the iPad camera. A camera is not listed on the official specs although some are saying that the lack of a camera now could be due to a shortage of stock. It will be interesting to see if a webcam is in the line-up when the iPad is launched in a few weeks, but for now we believe it’s just a light sensor in that gap. [Read more…]

Google Chrome OS Tablet Concept

Google have created some concept drawings of Chome OS running on a Tablet style device. The video is more focussed on what the operating system could look like rather than the functions of the tablet it’s self.

The video shows a number of multi-touch features where windows are dragged around as objects and resized according to the needs of the program running. As well as showing various browser windows being dragged around it also shows how the Chrome OS will be able to multi-task where two windows are on display at the same time with data moving between each window.
