iPhone 4 shipping times slip to 1 to 3 days
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesAppleiPhone 4
Shipping times for the iPhone 4 have extended to 1 to 3 days at Apple's online store, checks show. The one exception is the 16GB black Verizon model, which is still shipping within 24 hours. iPhones have been available in a 24-hour window for the past several months, making any new delay unusual.
Once an Apple product reaches the one-day shipping threshold it tends to remain there until an update is imminent, at which point the company lets stock dwindle and ultimately vanish. Today's iPhone delay all but confirms plans to release a new iPhone within the next several weeks; recent reports have pointed to a narrower target in early- to mid-October, possibly as soon as October 7th. Apple's mai...

HP offering up refunds for Pre3 and TouchPads
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesTabletsHPTouchPadPre3
HP has confirmed it will be offering refunds to all customers that bought TouchPads and Pre 3 phones before the huge price drop.
Over on its official site, it has listed the refunds available for every model of its ill-fated webOS devices, with customers offered the difference between that which they paid for the device and the new low shelf tag.
It's an odd move to see HP essentially giving away money – the Pre 3 was barely on sale in the UK and the TouchPad wasn't a huge seller, so the uprising against the price drop was never likely to be a massive problem to deal with, but the computing giant is clearly looking to draw a line under this with a gesture of goodwill.

iPhone 5 test photo supposedly leaks
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesAppleiPhone 4s
It may look like a tempting plate of uni, hirame and other sushi delights, but this photo may actually be the first publicly-spotted photo taken by the iPhone 5. Caught on Flickr, although the description suggests it’s the product of an iPhone 4, the EXIF data says different. Cropped down to roughly 5-megapixels from its original 3264 x 2448 – or roughly 8-megapixels, the expected resolution of the iPhone 5 camera – the location data suggests it was taken by an Apple engineer eating lunch in the campus canteen.
If this really is the product of an iPhone 5 prototype, then photographers have some fun incoming. According to the EXIF, the camera that shot the image has a 4.3mm f/2.4 lens, a cons...

Samsung GT-I9250 'confirmed' as Google Nexus Prime
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesGoogleGALAXY Nexus
Samsung's upcoming GT-I9250 smartphone has been pretty much confirmed as the Google Nexus Prime based on the handset's user agent profile (UAP) hosted on a Samsung-owned website.
Sitting on the wap.samsungmobile.com domain, the UAP is titled nexusprime.xml and makes reference to the model number GT-I9250 – we already guessed that this would be the Nexus Prime, leaving the GT- I9220 as be the Samsung-branded version of the phone.
The other sliver of information gleaned from the file is that the handset will have a 480x800 WVGA resolution display – which fits with the rumoured Super AMOLED screen we've been hearing so much about.

Sadly there's no indication of whether or not...

View the Motorola DROID BIONIC user manual a day early
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesMotorolaDROID BIONIC
With the release of the Motorola DROID BIONIC officially coming tomorrow, we'd first recommend that you view our Unboxing and Benchmarking videos of the device.
But if you still can't get enough of all things BIONIC, or you just love to read through large PDF files, you may want to take a look through the DROID BIONIC user guide (link below). It basically shows the layout of the phone and how to perform different operations - such as setting up your email, using the camera and camcorder, social networking, playing music, saving contacts and placing calls.
You might also want to skip over to page 44, as it talks about the new ZUMOCAST app, which allows you to remotely access your PC while usi...

Samsung accidentally confirms the upcoming Nexus Prime
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungGoogleGALAXY Nexus
Samsung has accidentally confirmed the existence of the next Nexus device by uploading something called a “user agent profile”. Mobile phone makers create said files so developers and websites know the capabilities of the device a user is using to access their content. While it doesn’t provide a complete spec sheet, it does give some hints as to what we can come to expect. For one thing, the name “Nexus Prime” has finally been confirmed. We’d honestly be shocked if Google or Samsung decided to change this. Next up, we know the technical name of the device, the “GT-I9250″. This will come in handy when combing through FCC documents and other certification pages, looking for hints as to the typ...

AT&T to release the Huawei Impulse 4G for $29.99
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesHuaweiImpulse 4G
AT&T has just announced a new smartphone called Huawei Impulse 4G, a low-end entry into Android and AT&T’s 4G market. The Impulse 4G will have a 3.8-inch screeen with 480×800 screen resolution, and running Android 2.2. It also has a 5 MP camera on the back with auto-focus, flash, and 720p video recording. Customers will be able to get their hands on this phone for $29.99 with the usual 2-year contract extension on Sept. 18.
Now, the Huawei Impulse doesn’t have any wow factor whatsoever; users should probably expect a dated single-core processor inside along with a max of 512MB of RAM, which is pretty standard for a low-level phone nowadays. This may be a good device for those customers who w...

Dell Streak 7 on track to get Honeycomb upgrade
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesOperating SystemsDellGoogleAndroid 3.2
Erik Day, Dell's director of marketing for EMEA, has confirmed that the Dell Streak 7 will be getting an upgrade to Android 3.2 (Honeycomb).
Speaking to Thinq, Day demoed the softare on the 7-inch tablets at IFA 2011, but wasn't able to say when the Honeycomb update would come to existing Wi-Fi only Dell Streak 7s.
The Android 3.2 build of Honeycomb was intended to bring the tablet software to smaller than 10-inch slates, so it makes sense for Dell's 7-inch offering to be in line for the upgrade.
Languishing
The Android 3.2 update will take the Streak 7 up to Honeycomb from the seriously outdated Android 2.2 that it's currently languishing on.
This means taking the 7-inch slate to heady new ...

HTC Holiday running on AT&T's 4G LTE network photographed
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesHTCAT&THoliday
BGR has obtained photographs of the still-unannounced HTC Holiday Android phone, which may be AT&T’s first 4G LTE-enabled smartphone. We were also shown the results of LTE speed tests taken on the HTC Holiday in the Dallas/Fort Worth area of Texas, and from what we saw, they topped out at an incomprehensible 29Mbps — far faster than the fastest speeds we have seen on Verizon’s 4G LTE network. Of course AT&T’s 4G LTE network is basically empty right now since it hasn’t yet officially launched, but we definitely like what we’re seeing so far. As far as the HTC Holiday hardware goes, previously reported spec highlights include Android 2.3.4, a 4.5-inch qHD display, 1.2GHz dual-core processor, 8...

Thanks to the savvy ninjas at PocketNow, we have the first real images of two upcoming Verizon smartphones – Pantech Breakout and Samsung Illusion. The first of the two has already been leaked before – it comes with LTE support, 4-inch WVGA display, 1GHz single-core processor, 5-megapixel camera on the back, front-facing camera (for video calls), 512MB of RAM, memory card slot and the ability to create a mobile hotspot for up to 10 devices.
