Between black and white, which iPhone color would you choose? As long as black is your favorite color, this upcoming iPhone launch will surely please. Again, if black is all you seek. Was it a purely business decision to leave out the white iPhone 4 from the upcoming launch? Or, is a supply issue to blame? Whatever it may be, AT&T has their story and they’re sticking to it. Well…a story without an explanation as you can see above.
In all fairness, since color choice has been bestowed upon iPhone customers, black has always been #1. In that light, it would make since to stock up on more of the obvious popular choice. Still, for those looking to score a white iPhone 4 on AT&T in the U.S. of A., it’s going to be quite the journey — waiting over the summer months and all.
Angry, sad, tired, hungry, couldn’t care less?
If the highest possible FPS are important, generally a desktop (or insanely expensive laptop is in order). But a few new mobile gaming power houses from MSI aim to bring more high end gaming to the masses for a rather mid-range price. Announced at CeBIT, MSI took the wraps off the GX640, GT660, and GX740 laptops. Being the geeks that we are, we’ll highlight the king pin first, the GX740. This top-o-the-line mobile gaming rig from MSI features Core i7 i5 processors, ATI 5870 graphics, 17″ WUXGA (1920 x 1200) dislpay, and SRS True sound. The only big differences on the next step down — GX 640 are the slightly smaller graphics (ATI 5850) and ever so carefully miniaturized screen chopped down from 17″ to 15.4″.
The GT660 on the other hand is a slightly different beast with a more multimedia/lighter gaming personality with features such as dual hard drive support, Nvidia GTX285, USB 3.0, LED backlit display, and up to 12GB of memory. Clearly some very tough choices in the near future if an MSI laptop was on your radar.
For now, mums the word on pricing and availability. But it shouldn’t be too long until MSI treats us with such juicy specs. Any one seeing an MSI laptop in their future?

What was your original impression of the LG Lotus? For those who don’t remember, it was a goofy shaped “tweener” phone with a more square shaped design. Not exactly stylish in my opinion. Though many in the mobile world are no doubt in love. For you love birds I have some *almost* good news. LG and Sprint are taking the stage together at CES this year for a grand launch party centering around some new mobile device.
Generally when I see the words “LG” and “Fashion” I think of the Prada line of phones. However, to date, not a single Prada device has made it stateside or as a CDMA device no less, so a US, CDMA Prada all in one fell swoop is unlikely. Though a pleasant surprise would be nice wouldn’t it?
Instead, a small blurb the original press release for this grand unveiling said:
Fans of the fashion runways will appreciate the couture style of LG Lotus, exclusive to Sprint.
Common sense would indicate a Lotus 2. But again, it’s all heresy and rumor until something a bit more official drops. Speculate away and leave it in the box below…
**Update: It’s kind of unclear in my original post above, but a Prada III (for European users) is also highly possible given the focus on “fashion”. However, as we already went over, a US + CDMA model isn’t too likely which is why a US announcement will probably feature the Lotus 2. But we could all be pleasantly surprised…

Back when the Palm Pre was launched, Sprint boasted of their exclusive deal with Palm concerning webOS. (A lot of good that did them…) Verizon countered with an “end of year” release of webOS themselves. Obviously they were a bit too excited as Sprint ended up being correct — that Verizon wasn’t getting any webOS love until 2010.
Well, 2010 is just around the corner and tonight we can now feast our eyes upon the very training documents VZW employees are currently consuming, prepping for the big webOS launch day. I originally thought and still think that the Pre is pretty hot. The Pixie not so much, but the Pre has got something special. With a new home on Verizon do you think webOS, the Pre, and Palm can turn their fortunes around?

In what is most certainly a very botched launch and severe delay since it was originally revealed, the Motorola Napoleon is pretty much a *slightly* revamped Moto Q. Yawn inducing features include a 2 megapixel QVGA camera, WiFi, and Windows Mobile 6.1. Sorry folks no new aged high tech WinMo 6.5 here, move along. Globe trotters should feel at least a little happy as it is debuting as one of Verizon’s world phones meaning there’s a GSM radio inside for jaunts across the pond. One feature that comes out of now where: average camera, WiFi, WinMo 6.1….BAM finger print reader. In order to keep your private information out of creepers’ eyes, Motorola has retrofitted a swanky finger print reader into the aging relic in a desperate attempt to grab a few customers back. While it does look pretty cool appearance wise and the finger print reader is still a rather unique feature, it’s going to take a lot more than WinMo 6.1, some fancy looks, and high tech finger print reader to make me part with my hard earned money. WinMo campers…are you going to bite?
