Motorola Olympus Hitting AT&T In Q1 With Tegra 2 and Android 2.2 With Blur

Labels: , , , , ,

We've heard about the Tegra 2 powered smartphone before and Android and Me has just got even more information. It's going to be the Motorola Olympus but, wait, we heard that already. According to what they're hearing, this will be hitting AT&T in Q1 2011 and possibly with just Android 2.2.1 on-board - along with MOTOBLUR. I'm hoping that it's running Android 2.3 "Gingerbread" because Froyo will be quite old by then. They do have a lot of time before then so things are subject to change. Apparently, this smartphone will look similar to the DROID X but it'll be a bit smaller - lining up with what we heard it'll sport a 4-inch display. Below is just a little something about the Olympus which is in pre-production.

ITG xpPhone On Sale For As Little As $666, Maybe That's a Sign.

Labels: , , ,

We've been hearing about this "smartphone" for over a year now and it looks like ITG has finally released the xpPhone to much less-than-mediocre fanfare. The 3G model with Windows XP Embedded is available right now for $732, the 3G model will cost you $798, and there's even a model going for $666 which does not have 3G and runs DOS instead of Windows XP. I don't think anyone should really be interested in this one because it's not that big of a deal unless you want some sluggish performance. Check it out on the official website here.

If you've waited this long for the white BlackBerry Torch to hit Rogers then the wait is over! The Canadian carrier has just released it and it's going for the same price as the black model (of course). That means you'll have to give up $229.99 on a 3-year contract, which is definitely overpriced. Check it out on Rogers.

Lenovo's U260 Ultraportable Notebook Now Available For $999

Labels: , , , , ,

Lenovo has just released their latest notebook and it's the one that leaked last week. That's right, the IdeaPad U260 ultraportable notebook is available right now for as little as $999 - $100 more than expected. The base model features a 12.5-inch display (1,366 x 768 resolution), an Intel Core i3-380UM CPU, Intel HD graphics, 4GB of DDR3 RAM, a 320GB HDD, Bluetooth / WiFi support, a multitouch trackpad, an integrated webcam, and a chiclet keyboard. The body is just 0.7-inches and it only weighs 3 pounds. This is a bit chunkier than the MacBook Air but you get a bit more power with the same price tag if you can handle Windows 7. If you're willing to upgrade the CPU inside to a Core i5-470UM then the whole machine will cost you $1,099. Check it out on Lenovo if you're interested.

Verizon Releases the Microsoft Kin One and Two Again, Cheaper Than Before

Labels: , , , ,

As expected, Verizon has just re-released the Microsoft Kin One and Kin Two. Both of these handsets are much cheaper than they were a couple of months ago and that's why Verizon probably gave them another chance - that and because they probably still have left over stock. The Kin ONEm is available right now for $19.99 on a 2-year contract while the Kin TWOm is going for $49.99 on a 2-year contract. Check out the Kin ONEm on Verizon here, while the Kin TWOm is here.
