Report: Next iPhone to Include In-Cell Touch Panels

Report: Next iPhone to Include In-Cell Touch Panels

Posted on Apr 23, 2012 by MG3

Filed in: Cell PhonesApple

It's not hard to tell when a new iPhone is coming - just pay attention to the increased flow of rumors leaking from Asia, where the device is manufactured. The latest story claims that the next iteration of the Apple smartphone will use new, cutting edge in-cell touch panels.
The report cropped up in Taiwan-based Digitimes, which said that "an improvement in yield rates of the in-cell touch panels at Sharp and TMD has persuaded Apple to choose to cooperate with Japan-based panel makers." The new touch panel approach would eliminate the need for an external module or film, thus reducing the weight of the device and bringing down the overall thickness of the panel array.

Can the Nokia Lumia 900 reinvent the Nokia brand to what it once was?

Can the Nokia Lumia 900 reinvent the Nokia brand to what it once was?

Posted on Apr 20, 2012 by MG1

We've been Nokia fans for a long time, but it has been a rough few years for the Finnish company. In the late 1990s and early 2000s, Nokia dominated the US and global market share. We all remember the Nokia 5100 and 6100 series, one of the company's most popular phones ever. And who could forget the Nokia 8110, featured in the hit film The Matrix?
In 2002, Research In Motion, the maker of BlackBerry, began to get more aggressive with their smartphone marketing, and had the insight to attack the business and government sectors. This strategy paid off for them as RIM began to erode Nokia's stronghold in the industry.

You’ll be able to pre-order the HTC One V starting from today, with the handset being free on £20.50 a month tariffs. Carphone Warehouse will be offering the phone on O2, Orange, and Vodafone contracts, with tariffs naturally becoming more expensive if you want more minutes or data.
