News round-up: DEXT coming tomorrow, HD2 to US in 2010 and 85% of Mac users also own a PC

newss6The Motorola DEXT will be on sale at Orange UK from tomorrow and Phones 4U (shudder!) from the 8th October. My understanding is that you may already be able to get one, but it is a surprise to see it arrive so quickly.

The HTC HD2 will be available in the US in the first quarter of 2010. That seems like quite a wait, but us Europeans have been doing well with releases recently so we have sympathy. OK, no we don’t:)

NPD Group has undertaken a survey which shows that 85% of Mac users also own a PC. The income of Mac users in the US is also higher than average which is not a surprise.

MotionApps has released version 2.0 of the Classic application for webOS. HotSync is now included alongside full screen mode, keyboard mode switch and some extra fixes and performance improvements.

7digital has launched a new MP3 download service for BlackBerry devices. Besides the downloads the app includes a media player that can import existing playlists plus extras such as the latest charts, new music and weekly features.

Spb has released Spb TV for BlackBerry. It is available for $9.95 and you can expect a full review at PDA-247 tomorrow morning.

NokiaFlagshipUK posted that the Nokia N97 mini would hit the UK on 23rd October yesterday, but then changed their minds and posted a retraction. Whatever the confusion, it can’t be far off.

Crime by Irvine Welsh has been released on the iPhone App Store. It is a bit pricey, but likely to be a good read. When will publishers realise that the way to stimulate the eBook industry is to price the books according to the perceived value of the user i.e. no physical materials blah blah…
