Vodafone UK is promoting the BlackBerry Bold 9700 with an expected delivery date of 28th October. It is rare to see such a short gap from launch to delivery, but let’s not complain about it. Expect a review here within the first week of release.
the nook is claiming to be the ‘world’s most advanced eBook reader’ and it may well be. The feature set is impressive and on the back of the Kidles success it could do well. This part made me chuckle- “traditional book than a computer screen. With no glare or backlight, and adjustable text size, you can read comfortably for hours.” I think eBook readers need a backlight…
HTC is struggling to keep up with demand for the Hero. To quote Jack Tong- “The tight production will not be eased until November and the sales momentum of HTC Hero is expected to continue in the first quarter of 2010.” It deserves all of its success so far and we look forward to more.
Earthworm Jim has been released for the iPhone and is well priced at £2.99 / $4.99. If you loved this years ago, you will no doubt love it all over again in portable form.
American readers have the chance to win a Palm Pixi. Palm is offering 25 for free just for signing up for updates on the upcoming release. It will be on Sprint though so make sure that is OK for your needs.
AAS has reviewed the Nokia 5630 XpressMusic and Ewan concludes that it is maybe too similar to other smartphone to succeed. The problem is that it is too similar to the other Nokia devices and Nokia either needs to cut the number of devices it releases or start varying things a little.
SBSH has released version 2 of the wonderful Facade. There’s a big bundle of changes including a new home tab, custom plugins and much, much more. Good to see developers still supporting Windows Mobile Standard.
“I think eBook readers need a backlight…”
Me too, that’s the principal reason I still read on my n810…
I don’t mind a backlight as long as it can be turned off. My iLiad is so easy on the eye with no backlight and has a very long battery life. It would be nice occasionally for bedtime reading instead of a lamp though.
