AT&T announces Windows Phone Mango lineup coming this fall, existing devices to be updated
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsMicrosoftAT&TWindows Phone 7.5
In the first of what we expect to be many announcements related to Windows Phone Mango devices, AT&T stepped up to the plate this morning by unveiling three new "4G" handsets that use the latest version of Microsoft's OS: the HTC Titan, Samsung Focus S and Focus Flash. We already know quite a bit about the Titan, but details on Sammy's selections are slim for now -- images aren't even available for either phone, though it's likely we've seen at least one of them before. In addition, the carrier's also planning to update its entire existing lineup with Windows Phone 7.5.
As for the fall lineup, there doesn't seem to be a slacker in the bunch. The Focus S will have a 4.3-inch Super AMOLED Plus...

Like UnlikeFiled in: Game ConsolesNintendo3DS
Nintendo's conference at the Tokyo Game Show suggested that 3D video capture would soon arrive for the 3DS handheld, but it was not enough to buoy the company in the eyes of investors.
A conference in the early hours of the morning saw Mario Tennis 3DS, Monster Hunter 4 and Fire Emblem announced, the former utilising the gyroscopic sensor.
"From the end of this year to the beginning of next, we are planning the kind of extensive line-up that has probably never been seen before in the history of video games," said Nintendo president Satoru Iwata.
"We will make an all-out effort to see that the 3DS sells enough to become the successor to the DS."

Next Android platform to be named Jelly Bean?
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsGoogleAndroid
Despite Ice Cream Sandwich not having been released for Google's mobile platform, it seems we've already got information on the name of the next iteration.
Apparently 'trusted sources' from This Is My Next have revealed that we're going to be waiting on the release of Android Jelly Bean next, which could be dubbed Android 4.5 or Android 5.0, depending on the amount of features packed into the new platform.
TechRadar exclusively revealed the name of Google's Tablet OS - Honeycomb - 10 months before it was launched to the public this year, so it's likely that it will be a long time until we see Android Jelly Bean.

Symantec's 'Norton One' Will Cover PCs to Phones, All For One Fee

Punters snapping up Nintendo 3DS after price cut
Like UnlikeFiled in: Game ConsolesNintendo3DS
Nintendo's decision to slash the price of the 3DS has paid dividends, with the handheld's sales increasing by 260 per cent in the US.
Poor sales prompted a major shift in policy from Nintendo, with the Japanese gaming giant deciding that it would make a loss on each unit, in the hopes of jumpstarting the 3D device.
And a price point in the US of $170 has given the company a much-needed boost.
Positive response
"Consumers are responding very positively to the new suggested retail price of $169.99 for the Nintendo 3DS," said Nintendo of America's executive vice president of sales and marketing Scott Moffitt.
"With Star Fox 64 3D and the new Flame Red colour launching tomorrow, and Super Mario ...

Cowon D3 firmware hits 3.5, gives your Gingerbread PMP a spit shine
Like UnlikeFiled in: Portable Media PlayersCowonD3
The Cowon D3, equal parts stunning and frustrating, got at least incrementally better in July when it finally scored a heavily skinned version of Gingerbread. Now, with version 3.55 of the media player's firmware, the D3 is getting even more streamlined. There's no huge new features to speak of -- and don't even get your hopes up for market support -- but overall the PMP should be more stable and run a bit smoother. Hit up the source link to check out the full list of bug fixes and to download the update now.
