LG Optimus 3D update still keeps the handset at Froyo, but packs 3D game converter

Posted on Oct 03, 2011 by MG3

If you somehow managed to beat every single 3D enabled game available for the LG Optimus 3D, then there’s no doubt that you’re a serious gamer at heart of course. Exhausting all of your resources, you might actually be tempted to once again experience 2D games instead.

Leaked photos reveal cheaper version of Apple iPhone 4 to be introduced Tuesday

Leaked photos reveal cheaper version of Apple iPhone 4 to be introduced Tuesday

Posted on Oct 03, 2011 by MG3

Gizmodo's Brazilian site was able to get someone inside one of Foxconn's Brazilian factories. The plant (inside the plant) was able to snap pictures of what he alleges is a new Apple iPhone model in the midst of being produced. The phone is code named "N90A" and indicates that the model is a cheaper version of the current Apple iPhone 4. The GSM version of the Apple iPhone is "N90" while the CDMA variant is "N92". The addition of the "A" on the end of the code would seem to indicate that the model that was pictured is a variant of the GSM flavored Apple iPhone 4.

After that, it was on to the Quadrant Benchmark test where the Amaze 4G scored a respectable 2,477.

iPhone 4S is Certain

iPhone 4S is Certain

Posted on Oct 03, 2011 by MG3

The rumors around a new streamlined iPhone 4 named iPhone 4S have already turned almost to news. Rumors about a new lower cost iPhone 4 have been around for quite a while. They totally confused the iPhone rumor mill over the summer. It took a while until it was seen as likely that Apple will reveal two new iPhones in 2011. In recent days though we only see confirmation of the iPhone 4S and not of the premium iPhone 5.

Samsung Stratosphere lays it all out with spec sheet treatment

Samsung Stratosphere lays it all out with spec sheet treatment

Posted on Oct 03, 2011 by MG3

The upcoming Samsung Stratosphere for Verizon Wireless is hardly a secret, but other than a few rumored details, the specs for this LTE-equipped QWERTY slider have remained a bit of a mystery. Now, all that has changed, thanks in large part to its leaked spec sheet from Big Red -- just take a peek after the break. It'll be packing a 4-inch Super AMOLED display with WVGA resolution, a (presumably) single-core 1GHz processor, along with 512MB of RAM, 4GB of internal storage and a 4GB microSD card that's pre-installed. Curiously, it'll be the first of Verizon's LTE phones to incorporate a Micro SIM in place of the larger, traditional offering. Other than that, it looks as if the speculation of ...

HTC security vulnerability said to leak phone numbers, GPS data, and more, HTC responds (video)

Posted on Oct 03, 2011 by MG3

Filed in: Cell PhonesHTC

The folks at Android Police seem to have stumbled across a rather jarring security vulnerability in HTC handsets running Android, giving common apps with internet access a peek at the device's vital statistics, user information and more. Demonstrated in the above video, developer Trevor Eckheart found that a recent HTC update packed in a suite of logging tools that collects data on user accounts (including email addresses), recent GPS locations, SMS data and encoded text, phone numbers, system logs, running processes and more -- all of which can be accessed by common apps requesting access to android.permission.INTERNET.

T-Mobile Germany starts prepping for Nokia Windows Phone

T-Mobile Germany starts prepping for Nokia Windows Phone

Posted on Oct 03, 2011 by MG3

Some marketing materials from T-Mobile Germany have given us a few details on what to expect from Nokia’s first Windows Phone. It’ll be running the recently-released Mango update, have a 3.7-inch convex AMOLED touchscreen, and include a navigation app with 3D rendering and voice control. Most of that we’ve already heard in previous Sea Ray leaks, which suggest the device will also have a 5 megapixel camera, and a chassis roughly equivalent to Nokia’s one and only Meego handset, the N9.

Virgin Mobile to offer LG Optimus Slider and HTC Wildfire S

Posted on Oct 03, 2011 by MG3

Virgin Mobile is introducing two new Android phones to its portfolio and we’re not sure if customers should start getting excited or not. The LG Optimus Slider and the HTC Wildfire S both sit snugly in the mid-range spectrum but also both sit in your standard pricing of a high-end smartphone for any other carrier around.

iPhone 4S 64GB, 32GB, and 16GB models coming 4 October?

iPhone 4S 64GB, 32GB, and 16GB models coming 4 October?

Posted on Oct 03, 2011 by MG3

The iPhone 4S will supposedly come in 16Gb, 32GB, and now 64GB sizes according to sources.
That’s according to 9to5Mac who claims its source, a Mr. X, says that "upcoming 'N94' next generation iPhone is being stocked by Apple in 3 different capacities."
The news ties in with previous rumours both detailing a 64GB version and the N94 codename.
To add further fuel to the fire, a label supposedly off an iPhone 4S box has turned up on a Chinese forum.

Nokia developing 'Meltemi' OS for feature phones?

Nokia developing 'Meltemi' OS for feature phones?

Posted on Oct 03, 2011 by MG3

Although Nokia still hopes Windows Phone will round out a "three-horse race" with iOS and Android, it's said to be cooking up an entirely new operating system aimed at lower-end handsets. According to the Wall Street Journal, the OS (codenamed "Meltemi") is meant to cement Nokia's top dog status in emerging markets, where feature phones remain king. Makes sense: low-end phones accounted for 47 percent of the company's device-and-services earnings in the second quarter. We're not sure if the adage "when one door closes, another one opens" exactly applies here, but either way, it looks like we've hardly seen the end of software updates out of Suomi.

If you were hanging around here on the 26th of September, you know good and well that T-Mobile will soon be getting a lovely new 4G capable 1.5GHz dual-core Qualcomm Snapdragon processor-having HTC device by the name of HTC Amaze. What we’ve got for you today is several close-up photos of the hardware on that device, all taken by a fellow by the name of Nathan Olsson. Judging by these photos along, this device is going to be one massively awesome little bit of mobile, if I do say so myself.

New NFC spec enables two-way communication, potentially makes Bump obsolete

New NFC spec enables two-way communication, potentially makes Bump obsolete

Posted on Oct 03, 2011 by MG3

Filed in: Cell Phones

The NFC Forum just released the latest update to the growing close-range standard and it includes a nice little treat called SNEP, which stands for Simple NDEF Exchange Protocol. (Side note: the NDEF in SNEP, stands for NFC Data Exchange Format -- it's like a matryoshka doll of abbreviations.) What makes SNEP exciting is that it allows for sending and receiving of data between two devices. This could be used to exchange contact information between phones (similar to Bump, but without the need for an app) or collect links to trailers from movie posters which could be played back on your TV at home. It's potentially exciting stuff, so long as manufacturers actually make use of it. Check out th...
