The Pre 2 <em></em>which offers the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/10/19/webos-2-0-review/">webOS 2.0</a> is the first upcomming Palm-HP product. Verizon has revealed it was on that carrier's <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/10/29/verizons-new-rebate-form-shows-two-droid-2-globals-samsung-con/">November roadmap</a>, and the Facebook page of Palm-HP has narrowed pre-order availability down to a specific date: November 8th. No more info is available at this time, such as whether that will include the promised <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/10/30/unlocked-gsm-palm-pre-2-to-be-available-direct-from-hp-gorill/">unlocked GSM Pre 2s</a> or whether they would be forthcoming at a later date.<br />

The device is said to have a 2010 release, but to be fair 2011 is more realistic. </div></div></div></div>phoneknowledgehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00338617407295878184noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1803712187574992203.post-69513882711460979442010-10-26T02:48:00.000-07:002010-10-26T02:48:13.988-07:00N900 plays WebOs gamesIt's great to see that the Nokia underdog phone the N900 is capable of a lot of things, whether its running android, ubuntu or playing games from other platforms. This is why Nokia support similar methods of developing native Linux apps, namely SDL 1.2. Because the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/PalmPre/">Palm Pre</a> and the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/N900/">N900</a> share almost the same hardware (OMAP3430, PowerVR SGX, Open GL ES 2.0 support) you have great opportunities for cross-platform gaming. Some Maemo fanatics have taken this to heart and have released a "Preenv" package for the N900 that allows the phone to run unmodified webOS games.<br />
Best of all no jailbreaking or rooting is needed, there's all the more reason for a developer to be attracted to <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/MeeGo/">MeeGo</a> and <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/webOS/">webOS</a> in the future.<br />

What we do know is that we're looking at "a future LG high end Android phone for Verizon (probably available in Europe under Vodafone)," but it is possible to claim a few things: one, and perhaps most clear you can just barely make out an <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/LTE/">LTE</a> logo at the downside of the back. That makes this one of the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/10/06/verizon-to-debut-lte-in-38-cities-half-a-dozen-4g-smartphones/">six-odd LTE phones</a> Verizon has claimed to release in the first half of next year. Also it's got an HD camera, rumours suggest either 720p or 1080p capture. And to conclude, it seem to have a huge, mirrored display and possibly a front-facing camera in the right corner. Looks like there's also a WiFi logo on back (of course). 2 logo's I can't identify, can you?phoneknowledgehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00338617407295878184noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1803712187574992203.post-20562898109000643542010-10-24T06:06:00.000-07:002010-10-24T06:06:36.792-07:00HTC Knight Leaks<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgPdEGaaQPUwOgWVsZd3k3_NwbQXcLNyNQOtXkp9HtAnSEwo1Qp621aJj7OnKzue8cLyB29STviesoSkdubeZmyJ1yln9oGOuY6A1dLB_Iglgc2BNPMjN4hyphenhyphenOAFRsj_X0ial5UCdmpANeG/s1600/htcknight.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" nx="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgPdEGaaQPUwOgWVsZd3k3_NwbQXcLNyNQOtXkp9HtAnSEwo1Qp621aJj7OnKzue8cLyB29STviesoSkdubeZmyJ1yln9oGOuY6A1dLB_Iglgc2BNPMjN4hyphenhyphenOAFRsj_X0ial5UCdmpANeG/s200/htcknight.jpg" width="145" /></a>Very little is known about the new HTC Knight, it popped up on XDA-developers forum.

According to critics it is the best WP7 phone which has been released. It has two main selling points: an aluminum unibody construction (just like the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/product/nexus-one"><span style="color: #00bdf6;">Nexus One</span></a> and <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/htc%2Clegend"><span style="color: #00bdf6;">Legend</span></a>), and its 8 megapixel camera with Xenon flash (as opposed to 5 megapixels with LED flash on the other WP7 devices).

Apple kickstarted the tablet industry by releasing the Ipad, many say it is just a giant Iphone. But in essence isn't that what a tablet is (becomming)? All tablets which are bound to be released have a 3g connectivity option, it offers you the option to go online anywhere anytime. So a tablet is actually a big smartphone. I thougt it had became a race who could make the smallest mobile phone, but with the 4g and the Evo it changed, big displays are the way forward. So how long before the gap between a smartphone and a tablet will be closed?phoneknowledgehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00338617407295878184noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1803712187574992203.post-40425404137777897242010-10-20T07:01:00.000-07:002010-10-20T07:03:30.246-07:00T-Mobile G2 overclocked<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRQ6p2p2AYlNekfVXLXoBLcUBpKOLNqkux0rqpZXp5qIp4Oxuo&t=1&usg=__lwSVYlX-wqxLb4jrl755XysB8V4=" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="http://t1.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRQ6p2p2AYlNekfVXLXoBLcUBpKOLNqkux0rqpZXp5qIp4Oxuo&t=1&usg=__lwSVYlX-wqxLb4jrl755XysB8V4=" width="197" /></a></div>The T-Mobile's <a href="http://www.engadget.com/tag/t-mobile,g2">G2</a> (which is a rebranded HTC Vision) has been overclocked by <i>XDA-developers</i> member coolbho3000.

But what is good software with lacking hardware? In a sense you could say that licensing would be the best option for Palm as their hardware has always been below par. But the takeover from HP might have saved them from the doom scenario in which Palm was heading. HP has the knowledge and capital to relaunch Palm with high-end hardware, which then be combined with high-end software. But after seeing the <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/10/19/palm-gets-official-with-webos-2-0-and-pre-2-hitting-france-on-f/">Pre 2</a> I must say I am not impressed, its basicly what the Pre should have been in the first place, technology wise that is. I wonder if the hardware durability is any good. Is the Pre 2 the savior of Palm? I hope they have some killer hardware announcements soon cause with the Palm 2 as a flagship phone Palm will sink..phoneknowledgehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00338617407295878184noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1803712187574992203.post-78240320621356933402010-10-19T15:54:00.000-07:002010-10-19T15:54:43.180-07:00CEO Fight!<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><a href="http://blogues.lapresseaffaires.com/cousineau/wp-content/uploads/2007/06/balsillie.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ex="true" height="200" src="http://blogues.lapresseaffaires.com/cousineau/wp-content/uploads/2007/06/balsillie.jpg" width="137" /></a>Everyone knew Steve wouldn't get away with bashing RIM with an <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/10/18/steve-jobs-drops-knowledge-on-earnings-call-calls-out-google-an/">competition-slamming manifesto</a> without some snap back from the competition. We've already heard responses from <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/10/19/tweetdeck-ceo-continues-backlash-against-jobs/">TweetDeck</a> and <a href="http://www.engadget.com/2010/10/19/andy-rubin-responds-to-steve-jobs-with-a-tweet/">Andy Rubin</a>, and now RIM's co-CEO Jim Balsillie has his say on Steve's statement:</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><blockquote><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">"For those of us who live outside of Apple's distortion field, we know that 7-inch tablets will actually be a big portion of the market and we know that Adobe Flash support actually matters to customers who want a real web experience. We also know that while Apple's attempt to control the ecosystem and maintain a closed platform may be good for Apple, developers want more options and customers want to fully access the overwhelming majority of web sites that use Flash. We think many customers are getting tired of being told what to think by Apple. And by the way, RIM has achieved record shipments for five consecutive quarters and recently shared guidance of 13.8 – 14.4 million BlackBerry smartphones for the current quarter. Apple's preference to compare its September-ending quarter with RIM's August-ending quarter doesn't tell the whole story because it doesn't take into account that industry demand in September is typically stronger than summer months, nor does it explain why Apple only shipped 8.4 million devices in its prior quarter and whether Apple's Q4 results were padded by unfulfilled Q3 customer demand and channel orders. As usual, whether the subject is antennas, Flash or shipments, there is more to the story and sooner or later, even people inside the distortion field will begin to resent being told half a story."</div></blockquote>Mr Balsillie does have some good and relevent points!

So will <a href="http://www.meego.com/">Meego</a> do it? Meego is a colaboration of Intel and Nokia and is ment to be the OS for Nokia's high end devices. No handsets have been announced yet but Nokia stated they would this year. Some videos have surfaced such as this one:</div><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cWtMLs3j09U">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cWtMLs3j09U</a> <div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

The app allows users to carry conversations in real time with mobile contacts over an internet data connection. The biggest advantage of WhatsApp is that it is a cross platform application which creates the ability for iPhone ,BlackBerry, Android en Symbian users to message each other.<br />
<br />
According to the official WhatsApp twitter they company is actively working on a Symbian and Android version of the popular application.<br />
<br />
@MADekker yes, we are working on it: http://twitpic.com/1bfiop <a href="http://twitpic.com/1bfisx">http://twitpic.com/1bfisx</a> <br />
<br />
<br />
Great news for N97 (mini) and other Symbian platform users! Another big advantage of Whatsapp is that it uses your mobile number as user name, it searches in your phone book for other Whatsapp users which makes it a very easy application to use.<br />
<br />
We will keep you updated if any new developments appear!phoneknowledgehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00338617407295878184noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1803712187574992203.post-80944320540428227612010-10-19T15:23:00.001-07:002010-10-21T16:19:04.541-07:00Live messenger<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><a href="http://www.1800endoscope.com/images/msn.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="185" nx="true" src="http://www.1800endoscope.com/images/msn.jpg" width="200" /></a>For some aparent reason Nokia or Microsoft pulled the S60 v5 version of the populair Live messenger from the Ovi store. The application seemed to work fine with good touchscreen support. Thanks to active users a mirror was created for those who did not originally download it from the Ovi store.</div><br />
Installed on the N97 (mini) you have the option to use the Hotmail mail service in the messaging menu. You can also access the camera during your chat to send photo's and videos. The application can also be run in the background and will notify when a friend is chatting.<br />
<br />
Notice: I have tested the application and it seems to run fine, the reason why it was pulled from the Ovi store is unknown. So use at own risk!
