Sony Xperia X3 X10 “Infinity” coming out party goes down November 3rd.
The Sony Xperia X3 is so far my favorite device leading into the end of the year. While the X1 and X2 were pretty sweet devices, the fact that it was running WinMo pretty much killed it for me. However, with Android and a tweaked UI dubbed “Rachel” coming on the X3, this latest Sony device has got my attention front and center. Hmm, now about that X3 moniker, well, not even a couple a days ago, the X3 became the X10. Why skip so many numbers? No idea. Not exactly sure what kool-aid Sony is sipping on. Whatever flavor it is, they really need to back off as the just renamed X10 has been giving yet another name to go by. Though this time, the name is actually somewhat presentable. Ladies and gents I introduce the Sony Xperia X3 X10 “Infinity”.
The new name is a big step up from the cryptic and stupid letter/number combo that so many manufacturers fall victim to. At the same time, the Sony Xperia Infinity isn’t a name that is so far “out there” as to draw criticism and become the butt of jokes. We could spend forever going over the few specs and pictures we’ve already seen, or we can wait until November 3rd for it all to go down. My vote is for some new hotness sometime mid-week next week. You?

Not to steal any thunder from CDMA/Verizon users and their new found Jesus Christ Digital Superstar (aka: The Moto Droid), but the GSM Droid steals my attention in the video above. If you’re not quite sure you want to [...]
HTC saying “No thank you” to Android 1.6. Hello hotness to 2.0?
October 28, 2009 - 1:31 pm
Posted in Operating Systems | No Comments
HTC’s current lack or recognition for Android 1.6 (Donut) has left many HTC users feeling hurt and unloved. Even though Cupcake/1.6 doesn’t bring anything that earth shattering, Android people love their updates. Almost as much as CrackBerry users. So it is understandable that a lack of 1.6 love could cause some problems. [...]

And so it begins…To all of those who thought that Google Navigation either wouldn’t impact the mobile GPS market or would take some time to impact the market, I give you exhibit A above. Traditional GPS makers start to see the cold hard truth. So let’s all ask Garmin: How does it feel [...]

**Update
Damn, seems like that was a short lived sucker punch, as a matter of fact, no such surprise existed. This isn’t an official release. John Gruber was able to look past the instant wave of geekery that claimed me as a victim and noticed a couple glaring issues with the most apparent being [...]

I haven’t yet touched and felt the new Storm 2 for myself. But I can assure you I will be heading to the local Verizon store today to give it a try. Am I going to buy one? No! But after reading Zdnet’s review, my initial excitement at hardware based improvements [...]

In a move that is sure to spur countless ramblings, clown faces, and repetitive though baseless comments from The Balms himself, the L.A. City Council voted an astonishing 12 - 0 on a $7.25 million contract to move all 30,000 of the cities’ employees over to Gmail and other Google related apps. Not a [...]
Google launching their own, free, mobile map app?

Posted in Mobile Applications | 1 Comment
You don’t say? Ridiculously overpriced map apps *cough*…TomTom…*cough*…navigon may soon be getting some competition from the multi-purpose likes of Google. Pointing out that Google already has Google Maps as their own is a rookie mistake. Understandable, though still very rookie. You see, they still license international map data from TeleAtlas while [...]

Looking back but a mere month ago, hearing the word “CyanogenMOD” meant sadness and sorrow as it was at that time Google sent Mr “Mod a cease-and-desist order because of his Android tinkering. Thankfully a common ground was reached and Cyanogen could continue on pleasing many Android tinkers across the world. To mark [...]

Oh boy. If you want to see a good form of irony, this is it folks. China is accusing Google of censorship. Never mind the fact that China has made headlines countless times for blocking numerous websites and social networking services above and beyond what is necessary. Though, censorship is never [...]
