A leaked business presentation has thrown up some new details about the Palm Pre, such as a 5 hour talk-time. This does seem quite long, but it’s in black and white and goes against Apples theory of multi-tasking reducing battery life… A large selection of N97 photo and video samples have been posted at The Symbian Blog and it is safe to say that the results are more than impressive, especially the video quality. It looks as though 4 new BlackBerry devices are heading to AT&T this year. The Magnum, Onyx, Pearl 3G, and Gemini are all different enough, just, to grab different sectors of the market and RIM is certainly not letting up at the moment.
The Android powered Motorola Heron is also on its way to AT&T this year. The specs are nothing special, but the design is different and it is yet another example of the populatiry of Android among manufacturers. AT&T is also getting the HTC Touch Pro2 and Diamond2 very soon and that’s it for AT&T today. OK, one more AT&T point- the large wireless carrier has managed to let slip another confirmation of the 32GB iPhone through its BlackBerry trade-in program. The option is available to trade one in for a BlackBerry Bold if you so wish, and the last time I look it was still there.
Are the latest crop of Netbooks too big for you? The Umid M1 mBook will be just the thing for you then. With a 4.8″ WVGA touch screen, Windows XP or Linux and 8GB of MicroSD memory, this is the smallest netbook style device yet and will appeal to anyone who likes their computing as small as can be. Finally for now, Apple has now relented and approved the Eucalyptus eBook application which was previously barred for allowing access to the Kama Sutra. This is good news and the constant criticsm of Apple for barring apps is getting tiresome- I do not think this one should have been barred at all, but there is a lot to go through and mistakes will happen. See, I do stand up for Apple now and again…
