Back in November of last year, Emblaze introduced what is presumably going to be its first product — a mobile phone called the First Else which hopes to revolutionize the phone experience by delivering a unique interface.
Emblaze launched an official site for the First Else which is a clunky flash based page that attempts [...]
Pocketnow.com has gotten its hands on some images and a video of the HTC Incredible, and upcoming phone which looks quite a bit like the HTC HD2 and appears to be on its way to Verizon (the boot sequence shows a Verizon animation in the video.) Despite aesthetic similarities between the HD2, the Incredible [...]

Sound like a new product? I wish. These are a few specs from the Sony Clie UX50 which was one of the greatest devices I’ve ever owned, and one that I feel was ahead of its time. The Clie UX50 was available at least as far back as 2003, and had [...]
VentureBeat has a short interview with Chandra Rathakrishnan, head of Fusion Garage, which is the company making the Joojoo. If you need to refresher on the device and its interesting background, take a look at our recent article.
Fusion Garage has been taking orders for the 12.1” tablet on their website since December. The stated [...]
OK, they didn’t actually mention Origami once but as they talk around the target usage scenarios for the iPad, all I hear is praise for the market that, just a few months ago was a non-starter and is exactly what Origami was aiming for. The true personal computer is here, the sofa tablet is here, [...]
In a few hours I’ll be on my way to London for tomorrow’s DevMob 2010 conference where I’m going to present some information about the 4” to 10” segment that came alive this week. (About time too!)
Before I packed the ‘magic suitcase’ (as it’s now known,) I took a picture of the contents – A lovely bunch of mobile devices…
Jenn of Pocketables.net pointed out today in a tweet that Apple is advertising the iPhone as a multitasking device. On the “Why you’ll love the iPhone” page, we see the following quote:
And since iPhone multitasks, you can make a phone call while emailing a photo or surfing the web over a Wi-Fi or 3G [...]
More than the actual product itself, I was excited for Apple’s iPad unveiling because I was waiting for them to show the world their innovative solution to input on a large keyboard-less device. I was very surprised to find that they didn’t offer anything innovative. Instead, the iPad uses a simple iPhone style keyboard [...]
Meet:Mobility Podcast 41 is now available. Recorded on 1st Feb 2010, JKK, Sascha and Chippy talk around the iPad and other mobile computing news including the Aspire ONE 532H, Archos 7, Dell Mini5, iPad, ExoPC, NetbookNavigator, Firefox for N900 and Adobe Flash.
Fee-fi-fo-fum. ICD announced that it was working on several Android slates back in November with screen sizes of 7, 11, or up to 15.6 inches. The Vega is the name of their largest 15.6” model and we’ve actually seen this slate in photos and on video before, but it never really hit me how [...]
In addition to the S10 Blade [Portal page], N5 [Portal page], and the P3, Viliv quietly showed the HD5 PMP at CES 2010. Viliv claims that it will be able to play back 1080p content, even with the .mkv container, which is nice because .mkv supports stuff like multiple audio tracks and subtitles. [...]
The device which was known as the Dell Streak for quite some time was officially unveiled during CES 2010 as the Dell Mini 5. Personally, I think that the name “Dell Streak” was actually pretty sweet, but if they insist…
We’ve heard rumblings of a Dell smartphone for a while. They used to have a [...]
Engagdet has found the Dell Mini 5 as it passes through the FCC. Not a lot of info here except for the fact that it has the right bands for AT&T, Rogers, Bell, and Telus data. Which means it’ll probably be launching with AT&T. The question that remains is whether or not it’ll be officially [...]
We had a brief view of a Viewsonic tablet at CES but it wasnt this one.
This article shows a 1024×800, 8.9″ touchscreen running on Tegra2. The $440 price doesnt include any 3G and we wonder; is this a Google Android build or a base Open-Source Android build. There’s a huge difference.
See the full article at [...]
Media Markt, a big local electronics retailer has tweeted that the iPad will cost 899 without a contract, 499 with a hefty T-Mobile contract and will be available on the 1st March.
Carrypad will of course, be tracking the launch event tomorrow so stay tuned. (Well be live on UMPCPortal.com/live during the event.)

Marketing around ‘Smart Devices’ has taken off and as I wandered around CES last week it was evident that there’s a bit of land-grab going on. Battery life claims are getting out of hand in my opinion so I took the time to write a little ‘warning’ article this morning.
You can find it at UMPCPortal.

Good tablet news coming in via Pocketables.
SMiT will bring a 7″ Android tablet to CES. There’s no information about the specifications and just a fuzzy image so let’s add this one to the ‘hit’ list and see what we can find out over the next few days. Is it going to be a ‘real’ Google [...]
Interesting tablet thoughts from John Gruber of Daring Fireball. Having researched the UMPC market for over three years I’m of the opinion that this space is for multiple niche products and not a multi-million selling success story but if there’s one company that can prove me wrong, it’s Apple.
I have a thousand questions about The [...]
Smarthouse reports:
An Android based device which is set to be shown privately to core HTC customers at the CES Show is set to incorporate new Qualcomm processors, touch technology and new software from Adobe.
It makes complte sense for HTC to be exploring this potential. They have all the right relationships, design skills and positioning to [...]
Gear Diary have a retail version of the Camangi Webstation and although there’s not much on what they think of it yet, they have completed the unboxing.
We will be keeping a look out for feedback on quality, performance, software and battery life.

I have every confidence that ASUS will produce a ‘pad’ under the Eee PC brand. The questions is, when?
Slashgear are relaying information from Digitimes that says it will come too. Unfortunately, Digitimes don’t have any more information that I do so all the questions remain.
This has been a totally useless broadcast message from Carrypad. Please [...]
Not too much information on this one but we’re hoping that it’s a product that forms a range of complimentary devices based around larger screens, high-end ARM-based processors and Android.
We’ve been very happy with the Archos Tablet but we’re happy to see more competition in this sector.
