This handset is going to feature WiFi / Bluetooth support, aGPS, a digital compass, quad-band EDGE connectivity, and HSDPA / HSUPA compatibility.

Acer has just introduced their latest gaming desktop PC and it's actually headed to Canada. The AG7750 is part of Acer's Predator gaming line-up and packs quite a punch - at a cost. Inside you'll find an Intel Core i7-920 quad-core CPU, Nvidia GeForce GTX470 graphics (up to three of them inside), up to 12GB of DDR3 RAM, and up to 8TB of HDD storage (four HDD bays). This could be something you're after, if you're too lazy to make your own. This will cost you $1,799 CAD if you're interested. Yes, this will run StarCraft II at the max settings.

T-Mobile's HSPA+ Device To Be the HTC Vanguard / Vision / G1 Blaze? Source Code Says So

Labels: , , , , , , ,

Not exactly the most surprising news in the world but apparently T-Mobile's HSPA+ device is likely going to be the HTC Vanguard / Vision / G1 Blaze. On T-Mobile's teaser site (here) the source code talks just a bit about the Vanguard - in the picture below. Of course, we've heard the rumoured specs for this smartphone time and time again: a 3.7-inch display, a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, a 1GHz CPU, and Android 2.1. This would be a nice handset for T-Mobile to have to battle Sprint's upcoming Epic 4G - I think I've said that before.
