BlackBerry Bold 9650 and LG VS750 Both Spotted In Verizon's Inventory Systems

Labels: , , , , , ,

Two phones look like they could be making their big Verizon debut in the near future. I'm talking about the LG VS750 and the BlackBerry Bold 9650. We've heard a bunch about the BB Bold 9650 so far, so we'll focus on the VS750. This handset should pack a 3.2-inch touchscreen display, a 3.2MP camera, a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, Bluetooth, a 3.5mm headphone jack, a microSD card slot, WiFi b/g, and Windows Mobile 6.5. Like I said, both of these handsets should launch soon.

This handset will reportedly cost less than the first Puma phone - which should be around $500 unlocked. The other handset will also be running Android and it's the Netribe. This handset will sport a QVGA touchscreen display and a 3.2MP camera. It should launch sometime in Q3 in Europe and it'll be priced at €115 ($150 USD).

It looks like the BlackBerry Essex aka the Tour2 9650 could actually turn out to be the Bold 9650. This is actually confirmed by these new casing photos of the said smartphone.

Labels: , , , , ,

So much for my guess. According to what you see above, the HTC Incredible will be launching on April 29th and the manual was actually leaked, which is extremely great news. The manual confirmed some of the specs that we already know. The handset will feature a 3.7-inch AMOLED multitouch display with a 480 x 800 resolution, an 8MP AF camera with a dual-LED flash, 3G / CDMA connectivity, WiFi / Bluetooth / GPS support, a 3.5mm headphone jack, an FM radio, a microSD card slot, and the Sense UI over top of Android 2.1. The price wasn't mentioned, but it'll be surprising if it doesn't launch for $199.99 on a 2-year contract.

Labels: , ,

Another low-voltage CPU may be on the way from Intel. According to the latest word, they'll be pushing out the Celeron U3400 CPU in Q3 of this year. It'll be a dual-core CPU that'll be clocked at 1.06GHz and it'll have support for DDR3-800 RAM. You'll be able to overclock it a bit but don't expect mind-blowing performance with this bad boy. Unfortunately, unlike the Core i5-520UM CPU this Celeron chip doesn't have the awesome Turbo Boost technology to bump up the clock speed.

iPhone OS 4.0 Gets Announced; Brings Multitasking, Unified Mailbox, Folders, and iAds

Labels: , , , , , , ,

Today, Apple announced something extremely huge. iPhone OS 4.0 was introduced which is a huge improvement over their current OS 3.0. It reportedly improves over 100 minor updates and a couple of game-changers like multitasking(!!), organization (folders for your apps), unified mailbox(!), iBooks, their new Game Center, and their new [HTML5] iAd platform. Apple has apparently figured out a way to do multitasking without taking a huge hit on the battery life. Unfortunately, only the iPhone 3GS and the third-generation iPod Touch will support multitasking because they said that it's a hardware issue. If you're interested in learning more about the iAd platform, check out the post on Computer World. The iPad will be upgradeable to iPhone OS 4.0 this Fall. Crunch Gear has a short video below showing off the multitasking.

Update: According to Engadget, you can now download the iPhone SDK 4 Beta. Check out the direct link here.

Update: Gizmodo has just mentioned that the iPhone OS 4 software includes three new functions: AVCaptureDevice.hasFlash, AVCaptureDevice.flashMode, and AVCaptureDevice.hasTorch. This likely points out that the next iPhone will have some sort of flash for its camera - not Flash on the browser.

Update: According to Engadget, there's also evidence for a front-facing camera as well. They've found a couple of different files that imply this.




  • The OS will support multitasking. Jobs claims that multitasking will not consume significantly more power or system resources than normal single app operation will.
  • Multitasking will be available on seven classes of apps.
  • The first is music. Apps like Pandora will now be able to run in the background without dramatically affecting browser performance or speed.
  • VOIP is another class of apps that will be able to run in the background. Skype can now run in the background, allowing you to receive texts and calls while not actively using the app.
  • Navigation and other location-based services are important applications of this multitasking feature. Now apps like TomTom Navigator and Navigon can run in the background, allowing you to browse and still receive directions.
  • Push notifications will also be able to run in the background.
  • Apps that take time to run a process, like uploading photos to flickr, will be able to do these processes in the background.
  • Apple will also allow local notification apps to run in the background.
  • Apple does not expect multitasking to significantly increase the strain on network traffic for AT&T.
