Windows Mobile 6.5 Screenshots, The Rumour Mill!
Posted by: Peter Murphy on Nov 13 2008 - 15 viewsGet ready for a roller coaster ride, cause the Windows Mobile train is nearing the top of the first drop, into what may be oblivion, or actualisation. Since a Motorola Exec disclosed the existence of Windows Mobile 6.5,
“Windows Mobile 6 has not delivered the experience that I think Apple has been able to deliver, but as you look at the plan that is Windows Mobile 7 and even 6.5, I think there are significant new added features which will help the platform”.
and then Microsoft’s resident monkey man, on tour in Australia, got an overdose of bananas, and confirmed it. There are, questionable, dubious screenshots emerging, well one lot actually. 
I’m sure we haven’t seen the last of this, but I’m not really convinced. What do you think about the look of these screenshots? Notice anything out of place? Others have

Posted by: Peter Murphy on Sep 03 2008 - 44 viewsKevin Rose posted a picture of what might be the new iPod Nano, then Brandon shared a link with me, that indicated there was a company out there making cases to fit an iPod that resembles this form factor. Anyone recall the furor around the “fattie” the iPod ugly duckling? It turned out to be a swan didn’t it?

The 01 Phone, Concept Or Credible?
Posted by: Peter Murphy on Aug 24 2008 - 14 viewsSo being a quiet Sunday evening, and an incredibly slow news day, I thought I’d post something to excite you and titillate your new device sensors. Oh, to clarify,define exciting! To enjoy this you’ll really have to be into watching the blue lines and percentage meters for software installs and large downloads. Cause it’s 27 days and counting. I really hate these sort of countdown sites, as if I’ve nothing better to do than watch a clock tick over. 
Now I found this over at SlashPhone, from T3, the gadget site.
On an unknown (until now) website titled just www.the01phone.com, lies a handset that will blow all others out of the water. With a 5.0-megapixel camera, 3G internet, and a whopping 32GB of storage, the 01 - as it’s believed to be called - could mean the death of the Nokia N96, the BlackBerry Bold and Samsung’s INNOV8 i850.
I’m not sold on this one, I have doubts. It would be a big device, but I can’t tolerate a 27 DAY COUNT DOWN. If it’s real I will humbly wait, BUT…
The niftiest thing here is that it might have an inbuilt laser keyboard, who can tell? I just checked, only 27 days and 3 hours!

The HTC on again, off again… Dream
Posted by: Peter Murphy on Aug 11 2008 - 28 viewsYou know in the past couple of weeks the attack of the androids, which should probably be made into a “C” grade Sci – Fi movie, has sprouted new thrusters and is rocketing off into the stratosphere. Videos like the following, should definitely be incorporated in the story – boarding for the plot, cause you can’t capture unwieldy, blurred, totally meaningless information with fictional film creation, like this, right?
Far be it for me to rail against, rumours, but the Android OS, Google phone is something that caught my attention when it was first alluded to. The reports are confusing at the moment though, I wrote last week “Android … It may not be sci – fi”, but so much more information has come to light since then, I wouldn’t know what to believe!

iPhone Nano On The Way
Posted by: Peter Murphy on Aug 04 2008 - 151 views
Well according to an industry source any way, the iPhone Nano could be here for Christmas. A decidedly sketchy article in the Daily Mail has set tongues wagging, and probably lines forming, waiting for a smaller, cheaper iPhone.
[Oh the image is of a Chinese knock off, an iPhone No No]
Apple is about to launch a ‘nano’ version of the hugely successful iPhone. It is expected to be in the shops in time for Christmas.
The product will be launched in the UK at up to ?150 for pay-as-you-go customers by O2, the mobile phone group owned by Spain’s Telefonica. ‘This will be a big one,’ said an industry source.
‘However, a cut down version, with the candy bar shape of iPod nano music players, would be a huge hit as a Christmas gift.’
One expert suggested the nano phone would have a touch wheel on the back and display on the front so that numbers would be dialled from behind.
Even though the article doesn’t give a source, it has still been widely picked up by a lot of sites. What do you think?

Zombie Rumours… They Just Won’t Die!
Posted by: Peter Murphy on Aug 03 2008 - 17 views
Why is it that some rumours never die, they just keep scratching through the topsoil, knocking over their tombstones, and menacing society just like a re-run of the Night Stalker.
In a week where I’ve witnessed the “Zune Guy get an iPod” — which is incredibly reminiscent of a horror movie– we also saw the mobile community interpreting/misinterpreting statements from industry high fliers, and turning it into news, but it leaves me scratching my head, how do you make a Zombie out of an internal Microsoft memo, or general statements by Michael Dell. Zune Phone/Dell Phone, if I tell you their on the way….
Wishful thinking or …
