The Wind U90 will pack an Atom N270 processor, built-in 1.3-megapixel webcam, stereo speakers, microphone, 802.11b/g WiFi, Bluetooth, 512MB or 1GB of DDR2 RAM, a 1,024 x 600 resolution panel, 80GB hard drive and a 4-in-1 card reader.

Nokia N85 – Hands-on first impressions at allaboutsymbian!

"The difference that the N85's AM OLED screen makes compared to earlier Nsereis devices is immediately apparent when you switch on the device. The screen is brighter and the colours sharper, but what really stood out, for me, was the accuracy of the darker colours. On the AM OLED screen black really is black; this is because there is no backlight, as there is for LCD screens, to cause light leakage. The N85 has the best screen I have seen on a small mobile device and unquestionably sets a new ...

The Wait Was Worth It, StyleTap Rocks My World

"It?s been 10 months since I first wrote about it in October 2007. At the time, I was so excited that StyleTap was going to work on an S60 client for their application that I almost had a heart attack. But through the 10 months (and a few days) of wait, my anticipation and eagerness diminished until 2 days ago, when I received an email telling me I?m now in the close Beta for StyleTap. And a whole new world opened for me! StyleTap is a sort of emulator that allows you to run Palm OS app...

Fujitsu Siemens’ Amilo Mini netbook: on-the go computing for Darth Vader’s PA

Fujitsu's Amilo Mini just had to be different. None of those cute modern curves and snuggly roundrects here: this is the mini-laptop that stormtrooper adjutants stride around with on the Death Star. It so turns out that this attractively oldschool model will be a stiff $600, double that of of popular models from Asus and Dell's forthcoming entry in the field. What do you get for the extra dough? A 1.6 GHz Atom 320 CPU, 80GB hard drive, a webcam, 1GB of RAM, Windows XP, Bluetooth and WiFi. Wei...

Apple and AT&T working on official iPhone tethering plan

Apple pretty quickly dragged the iPhone tethering app back behind the App Store shed, pressed a muzzle to its temple and pulled the trigger until the barrels went 'click, click.' Predictable, really. But do Apple and AT&T have any plans to offer tethering to their iPhone customers? After all, they already offer the service to their Blackberry customers? If not, where's the hold up: Apple or AT&T? An annoyed Gizmodo reader sent Steve Jobs an email, asking what the deal was. Jobs' respo...

Nokia 6210 Navigator Review

"The 2.4? TFT display supports 16 million colors and has a resolution of 240 x 320 pixels. In a dim light, the picture is bright and the colors are very real. The light sensor helps for the screen top be readable in direct sunlight. The display usability is very important for devices as the Navigator and we are very happy with 6210?s performance.The sliding mechanism is not very stable, but the very movement is quick and easy, almost effortless. The soft buttons and the keypad have a blue backl...

App Store for Android Announced, Called Android Market

"Google is going to give Apple a run for its money. Like Apple?s App Store for the iPhone 3G and the iPhone touch, Google is going to have an Android Market which will be very similar. Future owners of Android devices will be able to purchase, download and install various applications from the Android Market. T-Mobile is going to bring us the HTC Dream, the first Android cell phone but more are going to follow in 2009. That means the Android Market is going to have a guaranteed success and it mi...

LG KT610 review: Communicator wannabe

"As this stage it should have become obvious that the KT610 is a niche model. It still makes a nice alternative in the full QWERTY Symbian segment, where supply isn't exactly profuse. LG KT610 is rubbing shoulders with a few Eseries handsets and Communicators, and a couple of Sony Ericsson P-line phones. All right, a fact's a fact: the Nokia E90 secondary display is almost the size of the KT610 main screen and the difference in price is hard to swallow. But still, plunging head first in the sha...
