Labels: , , , , , ,

It looks like Shuttle is about to update their X50 V2 all in one PC. This time it'll be called the X50 V2 Plus and it'll feature the new and upcoming Intel Atom D525 CPU. This CPU also has support for DDR3 RAM, which is great news. Intel hasn't officially announced the D525 processor, so the clock speed is still unofficially unknown. The rumours are telling us that it'll be clocked at 1.8GHz.

10-Inch Jumper JK01-TT Tablet Runs Full Windows 7, Now Available For $670

Labels: , , , ,

Some unknown company has just released their own tablet device. This one's the Jumper JK01-TT and it looks exactly like a giant iPhone. Anyways, this tablet sports a 10.1-inch multitouch display, an Intel Atom N450 1.66GHz CPU, integrated GMA950 graphics, 2GB of RAM, a 250GB HDD, a 2MP camera, a 4-in-1 card reader, an HDMI output, WiFi b/g / 3G support, three USB ports, and Windows 7. It seems pretty good on paper, but it'll cost you $671 which is quite expensive. Oh yeah, check out the video below too because it doesn't look like it works all that well. Nope, it's not an iPad competitor.

Next iPhone (4G / HD) To Feature Video Calls But Only Over WiFi

Labels: , , ,

So we know that the iPhone 4G / HD will likely include video calls - thanks to the addition of the front-facing camera. The sad news is that Apple is looking to have video calls only available over WiFi. This is probably going to be the case when this smartphone launches this year because AT&T's network already can't handle whatever their users are doing right now. This WiFi-only video chat is hinted at in the iPhone OS 4 Beta 2 SDK. Keep in mind that this could change in the future.

IMAVCHAT_COULD_NOT_CONNECT_NO_REMOTE_WIFI = "The video call could not connect because a remote Wi-Fi connection could not be established.";
IMAVCHAT_DISCONNECTED_NO_LOCAL_WIFI = "The video call disconnected because the local Wi-Fi connection was lost.";

Engadget is set to receive theirs soon since they were one of those pre-orders. Of course, selling less than 1000 units it's definitely not an iPad competitor but it does give the Joojoo tablet some competition.

Sprint To Launch the HTC EVO 4G For $199 On Contract?

Labels: , , , , , , ,

The latest rumour states that the upcoming HTC EVO 4G will be hitting Sprint with a $199.99 price tag on a 2-year contract price when it launches. This isn't all that surprising since all of the higher-end models are priced this way. However, I'm assuming that the 4G data will be priced a bit higher so you'll have to pay more monthly if you want to take full advantage of the phone. Earlier this month it was rumoured that 4G may cost an extra $10 - $20 more monthly.
