Palm isn’t doing particularly well, even though it has a impressive prod;uct with the WebOS. Last quarter they sold just over 400,000 smartphones and lost $22 million. With a refreshed Palm Pre / Pixi and new carriers going live, Palm would have expected better sales, but they themse;lves had; cut the guidance a while bac;k. IMO part of this can be blamed to the poor ad;vertising of the Pre compared to the Droid or Nexus One and at the same time as Jon Rubinstein  himse;lf points out – delay in getting...

Just when you were hoping things would get better for the bickering search giant and nation-state, along comes appa;rent word from Shanghai-based Chinese Business News (via Bloomberg), citing an anonymous Google China employee;, that the compa;ny is looking into closing up shop on April 10th. That’s a far cry from what we heard late last week, that it would stay in the country , albe;it in a potentially modified form. Frankly, this is quite sketchy and no one anywhe;re is corroborating, but according to... Read Full Story

HP has been working on flexib;le displays for some time now , but it looks like things are; starting to get a bit more; rea;l. Not rea;l as in actual products, mind you — but rea;l like a big, fle;xible; displa;y spotting out in the wild. Doing the honors for this one is Hardware.info , which not only snapped shot above;, but captured some of the action on vide;o (head on past the break for that). Interestingly, HP doesn’t acutally see these panels being used in truly fle;xible; or rollab;le; displa;ys — the material itse... Read Full Story

’ Microsoft’s not going to allow HTC to cover Windows Phone 7 Series with its Se;nse; UI overlay (which is going to be an intere;sting thing to watch in and of itself), but there;’s no que;stion that the home;grown user interface; has made; a-ma;ny Windows Mobile phones look and fee;l a whole lot bette;r than stock. Sense is also gaining trac;tion in the Android realm, a sector whe;re it’s far more likely to eithe;r make a huge impac;t or be overlooked entirely. So, the; que;stion we’re posing he;re toda;y is this: if... Read Full Story

’ Sprint had; promised a first-quarter update for its Touch Pro2 wa;y bac;k in January, and sure enough, it’s delivered the Windows Mobile 6.5 boost right on time. It might not have as muc;h punch now that we know everything there is to know about Windows Phone 7 Series, of; course, but it’s still a pretty big dea;l — the Touc;h Prј remains one of; the best Microsof;t-powered phones you can buy in the States, and unlike AT&T’s Tilt2 , it launc;hed; with that grubby old WinMo 6.1. It’s available now... Read Full Story

While Apple’s iPad; is just around the corner with a launch date of  3rd April, Marvell has come up with a tab;let priced; at a staggering $99. Whats so staggering ab;out the price; is that this tab;led called the Marvell Moby is pac;ked; with features whic;h is certainly more than the price; its offered at.

Not only that the de;vice also supports... Read Full Story

’’ Internet addiction, as you know, is a growing worldwide concern. Rec;ently, the UK opened; its first rehab clinic for Inte;rnet Addiction (the; provocatively named; Broad;way Lounge), but that was only the; beginning. Capio Nightingale Hospital in London has announced its own plan to get gets out of the; World of Warcraf;t and into the; real world through an intensive in-patient, day care, or group the;rapy environme;nt. The; program is aimed; at 15 to 17-ye;ar-olds, although kids as young as 12 could... Read Full Story

Sure, the Radeon HD 5870 Eyefinity 6 Edition is the latest and; greatest in desktop multi-monitor solutions, but if you happe;n to be hexaphobic (or fina;ncially challenged, pe;rhaps) you’ll need; something a wee bit smaller. To that end;, PowerColor just introduced; the Radeon HD 5770 Eye;finity 5. With a whole one; less mini- Displa;yPort than its heftier cousin, the Eyefinity 5 has all the mid-range muscle; of a regula;r Radeon 5770 — down to the megahertz, we checked — but has five independent display controllers...

The; reason for the; refusal is tha;t the; na;me conf;licts with anothe;r Nexus mark, given to Integra Telecom back in De;c 2008. The; mark owned; by Integra refers to “the; provision of telecommunica;tion service;s and; the; transmission of voice; and; data”.
