Amazon eyeing success in cloud computing
Like UnlikeFiled in: Amazon
Cloud-based computing services aren’t new by any meaning of the word, but only in the past few years have we been hearing an increasing buzz in the community on the subject. Big names like Microsoft and Google have already established successful cloud computing platforms while others like Apple and their iCloud service are just around the corner. Reuters is reporting that Washington-based online retailer Amazon suspects that “the Cloud” will be responsible for their next billion-dollar business.
Amazon is primarily known for their online store but the truth is that they have been offering cloud computing to business for many years. After the dot-com bubble burst in 2000, the company realize...

Google Shopper for iPhone gets Offers
Like UnlikeFiled in: Google
Google Offers is Google's answer to Groupon, Facebook Deals, Yelp Deals, and Foursquare Specials, LivingSocial, and any other e-coupon services that you can think of. The trouble is that Google Offers is still in limited release. It began life in Portland, Oregon, then spread out to the San Francisco Bay area, and New York City area, but those are still the only places you can find and use Google Offers. But, regardless of where you live, if you've got the Google Shopper app for iPhone, you now have Offers in your pocket.
Google Shopper for iOS has been upgraded to version 1.5 which brings Offers. Users can view Offers either in list view, or in map view. And, the app will also keep track o...

Motorola XOOM tablet 4G LTE upgrade coming in September
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsMotorolaXOOM
If you can remember way back to February of this year when Verizon Wireless launched the Motorola XOOM, the first Android 3.0 Honeycomb tablet to hit the market, the carrier had promised that it would get its anemic 3G CDMA radio upgraded to a speedy 4G LTE unit by this summer. Well, it appears Verizon's summer extends into September, as we have just received word from the carrier that the ninth month of this year is when the LTE upgrade will be available to XOOM owners.
Users will still have to part with their precious tablets for a undetermined amount of time in order to send the XOOM in to Motorola to get the upgrade, but the company has said in the past that it should take no longer than...

T-Mobile HTC HD7 firmware update also being pushed out
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesHTCHD7
WPCentral reports, besides the Dell Venue Pro, T-Mobile is also pushing out a firmware update for the HTC HD7.
The update moves the firmware from 2250.09.12001.531 to 2250.21.30102.531 and the radio version from 5.51.09.11a_22.31.50.09U to 5.65.09.25a_22.45.50.21U.
The rather suspicious timing of all the firmware updates suggests Microsoft may be laying the ground work for the upcoming Mango update, now expected sooner rather than later.

Apple rumored to be working on ultra-thin 15-inch notebook PC
Like UnlikeFiled in: Apple
Apple is in the late stages of testing a new ultra-thin 15-inch notebook computer that may or may not be an upcoming new addition to the MacBook Air family. MacRumors on Tuesday reports that the new ultra-thin laptop could either be a MacBook Air, which is currently offered in 11 and 13-inch sizes, or a MacBook Pro, which is currently offered in 13, 15 and 17-inch sizes. No pricing or release timing is being reported at this point, though a launch in the near term is unlikely. Apple refreshed its MacBook Pro lineup this past February and new MacBookAir models launched just this past week.

It's the end of life for the HTC EVO 4G, Samsung Epic 4G and other Sprint models
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungHTCEVO 4GEpic 4G
A leaked screenshot of an internal Sprint document was obtained by SprintFeed, and shows which devices the carrier has branded as "EOL" (end of life, although end of the line is more appropriate) and when the handsets will be phased out. Some of the phones being removed from Sprint's lineup are household names such as the HTC EVO 4G, the nation's first 4G enabled device. Also being phased out is the carrier's second 4G handset, the Samsung Epic 4G. Both devices have been replaced with newer models like the HTC EVO 3D and the Samsung built Nexus S 4G, offering the latest high-end specs to Sprint customers with the former adding 3D functionality.
The white version of the HTC EVO 4G will be r...

Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsHTC
In addition to exclusively revealing the first photos of AT&T’s Samsung Galaxy S II earlier this morning, we also got our hands on the first solid images of HTC’s upcoming 10-inch slate, codenamed the HTC Puccini. While confirmed specifications are light for the time being, the tablet will feature an 8-megapixel camera with what appears to be a dual-LED flash, as well as stereo speakers and a microphone. Also, as we can clearly see in the image above, the Puccini will support stylus input just like the HTC Flyer. Earlier reports suggest the tablet will include a 1.5GHz processor, Android Honeycomb, HTC Sense and a 4G LTE radio. There’s still no word on a launch date, but let’s hope it’s soon...

Asus Eee Pad Slider slides past FCC
Like UnlikeFiled in: TabletsASUSEee Pad Slider SL101
The Asus Eee Pad Slider has become more of a mystery with every passing day as the 10.1-inch slate first appeared at CES and was expected to land in May, but its launch was delayed all the way until August in the UK. The Slider however has now passed one more obstacle on its way to mass market, this time clearing the FCC, where it appeared with model number SL101.
Earlier in the month, Asus seemed hesitant about releasing the tablet as it was “running a couple of surveys to understand what is important for our customers.” With heaps of Honeycomb tablets storming the market, that's no surprise, but the Asus Eee Pad Slider definitely has more than the common tablet as it stands out with its sl...

Mozilla to make a new mobile OS based on Android code, webOS ideals
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell Phones
Mozilla, who we imagine isn’t too happy about losing market share to Google’s relatively new Chrome browser and the fact that Firefox Mobile isn’t taking off as well as they had hoped, has announced a new operating system dubbed “Boot to Gecko”, B2G for short. Now I know what you’re thinking, the market is already saturated thanks to iOS, Android, Windows Phone, Bada, and an untold number of feature phone operating systems, but Mozilla’s goal is quite honorable. They want to create an OS that, similar to HP/Palm webOS, will have applications built using web standards. B2G will have new APIs, which Mozilla hopes will someday become standards that anyone can use, that expose hardware functiona...

Android tablet population estimated at 1.2 million
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsTabletsGoogleAndroid
While nobody would argue that Android smartphones are abundant these days, the situation with tablets running Google's mobile platform might not be so bright. According to an estimate given by the guys over at Daring Fireball, there may be as little as 1.17 million Android tablets currently in use worldwide.
Coming up with this number did not require any elaborate calculations. The estimate took into account some statistical data provided by the Android Market, which showed that between June 24 and July 1 of this year, only 0.9% of all devices that have accessed Google's software marketplace boast a screen size of 7 inches or above. Multiply that by the number of total Android devices out th...
