Users can rent movies from the Android Market for 24 hours with prices starting at $2.99. Seems pricey to us, but can you really put a price on that kind of convenience?

Nokia keeps smartphone lead thanks to existing inventory sales: Gartner

Posted on Aug 12, 2011 by MG3

Filed in: Cell PhonesNOKIA

While many other analyst firms are proclaiming victory over Nokia for Apple, and a quick look at the number of smartphones that each company claimed to ship last quarter would lead you to believe that is the case, research firm Gartner says that Nokia is still the number one seller of smartphones in the world, thanks to an aggressive push in moving old inventory stock out of stores. This lead won't last long though, as Gartner predicts that Apple will surpass Nokia in retail sales next quarter.

Posted on Aug 11, 2011 by MG3

That is pretty much what is going on at camp Android right now – a number of software developers are reporting that the amount of money they are being paid through Google Checkout for their software does not match the number of times their apps have been purchased from the Android Market.

Images and video of new Nokia Windows Phone handsets surface: leaked or faked?

Images and video of new Nokia Windows Phone handsets surface: leaked or faked?

Posted on Aug 11, 2011 by MG3

Are those the upcoming Nokia Windows Phone handsets? Hard to tell, but the video and images below sent to MyNokiaBlog from a tipster claiming to be a Microsoft insider (even though using an OVI email account) look very polished and professionally done. Sure, the video below mashes together seemingly new content with old marketing stuff, including some old Microsoft Office Labs footage. But while those could be manipulated images (likely taken from the video below), hands down to the artist, who could well defend a thesis on faking pictures in Photoshop.

Toshiba Announces First Glasses-Free 3D Laptop

Toshiba Announces First Glasses-Free 3D Laptop

Posted on Aug 11, 2011 by MG3

In the rush to move everything into the third dimension, Toshiba has announced their latest glasses-free 3D notebook, the Qosmio F755 3D. The laptop is even capable of displaying 2D and 3D content at the same time. So how does it all work?

Toshiba achieves the 3D glasses-free viewing by using the latest in auto-stereoscopic display technology. The 15.6" LCD is a full HD TruBrite panel with Active Lens technology, with double parallax technology that allows it to project two sets of images at the same time, splitting them between the left and right eyes to create the 3D effect. Toshiba’s Face Tracking technology then uses the laptop’s webcam to optimize the projection of the image by reactin...

Sony in-car audio gets iPhone-based Pandora radio streaming

Posted on Aug 11, 2011 by MG3

Sony picked Wednesday to revamp its in-car head units with a much heavier influence on digital sources in eight new devices. The CDX-GT565UP, DSX-S210X, and DSX-S310BTX all stream Pandora's Internet radio from a connected iPhone and go beyond just basic USB or Bluetooth audio. At least on the S210X and S310BTX, all the Pandora controls shift to the receiver, including the thumbs-up/thumbs-down to tune the recommendations.

Toshiba's Qosmio F755: Not the First Glasses-Free 3D Laptop

Toshiba's Qosmio F755: Not the First Glasses-Free 3D Laptop

Posted on Aug 11, 2011 by MG3

Tricky, tricky, Toshiba. There's a story going around today that Toshiba's new Qosmio F755 laptop is the world's first laptop with a glasses-free 3D screen, but that's just not true.
Back in 2003, we reviewed the Sharp Actius RD3D, the real first U.S. laptop to include a parallax barrier 3D screen. At the time, reviewer Bill Howard said "Our experience viewing still images was outstanding. You do notice an apparent loss of resolution going into 3-D mode (each eye sees 512-by-768 worth of pixels), but the foreground-to-background separation is outstanding. It was even better playing a Spiderman demo movie."

Sony PlayStation Vita delayed until March 2012?

Posted on Aug 11, 2011 by MG3

No, we’re not joking. The latest pre-order updates from Best Buy and Amazon suggest the Sony PlayStation Vita will not launch in the US and UK until the 30th of March 2012. That’s nearly three months after the December launch in Japan. Following the initial shock of the PS Vita delay, today’s update feels like Sony is rubbing salt in our wounds.
