HTC Explorer is set to arrive in the UK on October 31st
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesHTCExplorer
Very recently, the HTC Explorer made its official debut as a budget conscious Android powered smartphone that packs all the functionality of its siblings – while rumored to cost somewhere below the $290 mark.
Unfortunately, there was no mention about its actual release date, but rather, we were given the tease of it launching sometime in Q4 in markets like Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and Asia. However, we’re able to get find a firm release date of October 31st thanks to online retailer Clove. As much as some will accept a concrete date, we’re still in the dark when it comes to pricing.
Nevertheless, it shouldn’t be too much of a bother after taking into consideration its entry-level off...

T-Mobile sits quietly out of the picture during Apple's event
Like UnlikeFiled in: AppleT-Mobile
Poor T-Mobile, they were sadly left behind as Apple announced today that the iPhone 4S will be coming to the top three wireless carriers in the country starting on October 14th. We’ve seen them mock the iPhone on several occasions in various commercial spots, but now they can keep on doing the same thing since they weren’t mentioned once during the entire presentation today.
Still, it begs the question whether or not they’ll be negatively impacted mainly because they’re simply out of the picture when it comes to the latest iPhone model. Of course, we’ve already seen how T-Mobile is trying to lure iPhone users to its grasp, which is evident from the microSIM cards they’re selling for the iPho...

What can dual-core do for you: a course refresher what the A5 chip will bring to the Apple iPhone 4S
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesAppleiPhone 4s
Apple just announced the iPad 2's dual-core A5 chip going into the newest iPhone 4S as well. If you are a current iPhone 4 owner, that would be the sole main reason to get the latest edition. Thus, we are reposting our article on the advantages of multicore platforms below, in order to gauge the possibilities this SoC brings to the fifth generation of the acclaimed handset from Cupertino. Besides the obvious 1080p Full HD video recording advantage, Apple also announced Infinity Blade 2, which will be optimized for the iPhone 4S, and also a beta of Siri, the voice command assistant, whose integration wouldn't be possible without the A5. And that's just a start...

Gingerbread on 39% of Android devices
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsGoogleAndroid 2.3
The newest Android platform version distribution chart was quietly updated while Apple was making its big speech today. It's showing a solid uptick in Gingerbread adoption throughout the Android ecosystem, but it also points out an annoying lack of information with the distribution chart.
According to the new numbers, Gingerbread is the big winner this month and is installed on 39% of Android devices in the wild. This isn't surprising as many devices have been getting the Gingerbread update recently. This marks a jump of 7.5% for Gingerbread over the last month. The losers, again unsurprisingly, were Froyo (2.2) which dropped from 51.2% to 45.3% and Eclair (2.0/2.1) which dropped from 13.3%...

iPhone 4S release date sneaks out early onto Apple site
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesAppleiPhone 4s
Eager to hear about Apple’s iPhone announcement today? So are we, and so are some of Apple’s Japanese webmasters, by the looks of things. Official information about Apple’s Ginza store in Tokyo is announcing the iPhone 4S will be available starting 8:00 AM local time on October 14. That’s a date we’ve been hearing a lot about, and it’s likely to pan out for the U.S., and hopefully many other international markets on the same day.
We’re eager to hear more about specs for the 4S, and if it will be accompanied by a higher-end, potentially Sprint-exclusive iPhone 5, but with the announcement only 15 minutes away, we won’t have long to find out what’s going on. At least now y’all can start schedu...

Samsung Nexus Prime first image surfaces: 4.6” display with impressive 720 x 1280-pixel resolution
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesGoogleGALAXY Nexus
The Samsung Nexus Prime might have just spoiled a part of the iPhone day - the handset heralding Google’s latest Android, Ice Cream Sandwich, was spotted and it packs quite a punch in the form of a 4.6-inch Super AMOLED screen with a resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels. This gives an impressive pixel density of over 320ppi. And don't worry about the fact that the screen shows 720 x 1184 pixels, as it's simply not counting the status bar and the on-screen key area.
Now, there’s one key factor to be considered - is it going to be a pentile screen or not? If it is, then the quoted pixel density won’t be comparable to phones with RGB screens as the pentile organization includes only two subpixels ra...

Microsoft kills the Zune, to focus on Windows Phone
Like UnlikeFiled in: Portable Media PlayersOperating SystemsMicrosoftZune HDWindows Phone 7
Microsoft’s Zune player never quite caught up with the iPod line of music player, but now as even the iPod is on the decline, Redmond has decided to kill the Zune altogether. The company will not be releasing new models of the player, but remains committed to supporting the device in North America.
The Zune player is closely tied to the Zune music service, which in turn has intimate connections with Microsoft’s Windows Phone lineup, but while the player itself is dead, the service will continue running as before, with the focus shifting on Windows Phone handsets.
The Zune started in 2006 as an ambitious iPod rival. At the time, Microsoft’s CEO Steve Ballmer saw it as a real competitor to Ap...

Rumoured Nikon D800 specs emerge
Like UnlikeFiled in: CamerasNikonD800
New rumours about the impending Nikon D800 have emerged, suggesting a 36 megapixel sensor, 4 fps continuous shooting and Full HD video in 30p.
Many people had expected a Nikon D800 to emerge as early as February or March this year, but it is thought that the earthquake and tsunami in Japan pushed back the release date to autumn. A report published in May suggested that Nikon's Sendai plant had fallen behind a previous summer deadline for the D700 replacement.
Further fuel was poured on the rumours fire as a French D800 user manual 'Obtenez le maximum du Nikon D800' (or 'Get the most out of your Nikon D800') by Bernard Rome appeared on the Amazon France website.
