Section: Computers, Mobile Computers, Software / Applications Are you eagerly awaiting the day HP launches a tablet device running webOS? Even though a tablet is on the horizon for HP, not much is known about the possible webOS running tablet, other than hopefully a 2010 launch. According to UPSTO, HP filed for a trademark on PALMPAD, which sounds an awful lot like a tablet device powered by Palm’s mobile OS. It is categorized under “Computers, computer hardware, computer software, computer peripherals, portable computers, handheld and mobile computers, PDAs, electronic notepads, mobile digital electronic devices” which makes it more likely the name PALMPAD will be used to describe a tablet device. Now we can keep our eyes and ears peeled for any rumors regarding a PALMPAD. Read [UPSTO] Via [Pre Central] Full Story » | Written by Natesh Sood for Gadgetell. | Comment on this Article »

A few images of a new Motorola handset were leaked online and there is good reason to believe it will join the Droid lineup of Android smartphones on Verizon. The picture above confirms a few things: one it will launch as a Droid phone, two it features a slide-out portrait QWERTY keyboard, and three it will be a mid-range phone on the Verizon network. The familiar red-eye depicted on the phone is the brand commonly associated with Verizon Wireless’ Droid. For those familiar with Verizon smartphones, it has a similar appearance to the Palm Pre Plus in terms of a slide-out keyboard. Given the relatively small screen size, the unknown Motorola phone will most likely be an entry-level device on the Verizon network. Since Verizon already boasts the Droid, Droid X, Droid Incredible, and the upcoming Motorola Droid 2, a mid-range device should work well. Maybe this device is the Motorola WX445 we saw a little over a week ago? Via [AndroidandMe]

 Section: Communications, Cellphones, Cellular Providers, Smartphones AT&T recently announced a new, quick messaging phone aimed for teenagers and adults. The Sharp FX supports AT&T’s Mobile TV, allowing users to watch full length episodes from FLO TV, including content from ABC Mobile, Adult Swim Mobile, CBS Mobile, CNBC, CNN Mobile, COMEDY CENTRAL, Disney Channel, ESPN Mobile TV, FOX Mobile, msnbc, MTV, NBC 2Go, Nickelodeon and the movie channel Crackle. However, subscription to Mobile TV is $9.99 a month. The Sharp FX features a touch screen, full QWERTY keyboard, 2MP camera, video recording, Bluetooth, AT&T Social Net, and AT&T Navigator. By looking at the picture, I’m assuming it only comes in the jet black finish and it sports a Sidekick-esque form factor. The phone runs its own OS, which is a shame because Android running on this entry-level baby would be pretty awesome. The quick messaging phone costs $99 after a $50 MIR on a new two year contract. The FX will officially launch on July 25 on AT&T’s online store and all physical retail stores. Full press release is below.

Back in early July, we reported a user experiencing a new OTA software update which revealed 3G Mobile Hotspot and 720p video recording. At the time, we weren’t sure when HTC would roll out this update to all other Droid Incredible owners, but according to latest reports, HTC began the roll out just a few days ago. For some reason, only a handful of users received the update, and even though roll outs generally take a long time, more users should have already received the update. BGR is reporting that HTC might pull the OTA update and add Google Android 2.2 to the list of features in the update. If the rumor pans out, users should stop receiving the update and receive the official update either late July or early August, which will include Froyo. HTC initially planned to issue two different OTA updates, one being the 3G Mobile Hotspot, 720p video recording, etc. and the other would only be Android 2.2. However, it does make more sense to roll out just one update with every new feature. Of course, we’re still waiting for official confirmation on this one, but it looks like Android 2.2 is right around the corner for HTC Droid Incredible owners! The full email is below: I wanted to pass along that the upcoming Incredible MR will also include Froyo (originally it was going to be two separate MRs).
We are targeting the end of the month/first part of August. As a reminder, below are the highlights:
Froyo

3G Mobile Hot Spot
HTC Widget: Email
HTC Widget: News
EAS Updates

 Section: Communications, Cellphones, Cellular Providers, Smartphones, Mobile Just like Nokia, RIM, and HTC, Samsung has officially responded its antenna in the Samsung Omnia II. Apple’s mention of the BlackBerry Bold 9700, HTC Droid Eris, Nokia, and the Samsung Omnia II surprised all four manufacturers and prompted them to response to Apple’s assertion. Shin Young-joon, a spokesperson for Samsung, had this to say on the matter: "The antenna is located at the bottom of the Omnia 2 phone, while iPhone's antenna is on the lower left side of the device. Our design keeps the distance between a hand and an antenna. We have fully conducted field tests before the rollout of smartphones. Reception problems have not happened so far, and there is no room for such problems to happen in the future."
He also questioned the legitimacy of Jobs’ demonstration by questioning the circumstances and conditions under which the test was performed. Samsung didn’t release a complete statement like Nokia and RIM, probably because Samsung still manufacturers parts for the iPhone 4, and starting a war of words with Apple wouldn’t bode well for the giant manufacturer. Since all four manufacturers have pretty much stated they create superior antennas which hardly anyone complains about, is Steve Jobs’ demonstration true? Or was it a petty attempt to prove all smartphones have antenna defects? Via [KoreaHerald] Full Story » | Written by Natesh Sood for Gadgetell. | Comment on this Article »
 Section: Gadgets / Other, Household, Reviews, Features  I recently received a jar of CyberClean to review and couldn’t wait. CyberClean is bright yellow and looks like the jars of slime popular with kids. However this stuff actually serves a useful purpose. To use, slide it into your hands and knead it for a few seconds. Unless your hands are sweaty it won’t feel slimy at all. Once it’s pliable, simply press it down onto your keyboard and lift. I used it on my husband’s cordless keyboard and my laptop keyboard, both with excellent results. It doesn’t stick or leave any kind of residue and you’ll be amazed at the gunk it pulls out of your keyboard! I had no idea my laptop keyboard was as dirty as it was until I used CyberClean on it. It pulled up a ton of crumbs, dust, and cat hair (I have two!) It’s a lot easier, safer, and more efficient than using canned air or just turning the keyboard over and tapping it (which is difficult and dangerous for laptops!). CyberClean also claims to kill 99.9% of germs. It can be used on cellphones, remote controls, iPods, and other gadgets and is reusable up to 70 times. Give it a try and let me know what you think! It’s available at most major retailers for about $8-$10.

Sprint recently announced the new Motorola i1, a military specialized Android smartphone with push-to-talk capabilities. It is the first smartphone on Sprint that combines Android and Nextel Direct Connect. The Motorola i1 is meant for military personnel as the phone features a rugged casing to protect it against dust, shock, vibration and blowing rain. In a nutshell, Nextel Direct Connect allows you to communicate with anyone in the nation. In addition, there is a Group Connect option, which includes 20 other people in the conversation, and there is the International Connect option allowing users to communicate with anyone worldwide. In terms of specs, the phone sports a 3.1 inch touch screen, Android 1.5, 5MP camera, WiFi, and memory expansion up to 32GB with microSD. It does come with some pre-loaded apps such as Scan2PDF Mobile 2.0, Unit Converter – ConvertPad, RealCalc Scientific Calculator, Swype, and Opera Mini 5. For business related apps, it comes pre-loaded with Xora, TeleNavTrack, and Sprint Mobile Locator. The Motorola i1 is going to launch July 25 for $149 after a $50 MIR. For the casual smartphone user, I’m not sure how well this phone will fit your needs especially considering the price, but for military smartphone users, the i1 is a phone worth considering. Full press release is below: OVERLAND PARK, Kan. – July 19, 2010 – Industry-leading Push-to-Talk with access to thousands of Android™ applications for less than $150?

It will then be available in all remaining Sprint sales channels beginning on Sunday, Aug. 8.
With more than 17 years of experience, Sprint is the undisputed industry leader in push-to-talk, serving the world's largest push-to-talk community with millions of Nextel Direct Connect subscribers on the fastest national push-to-talk network. More U.S. workers communicate in less than a second with Nextel Direct Connect than with any other push-to-talk service.
With solid body construction that meets military specifications for protection against dust, shock, vibration and blowing rain1, Motorola i1 is designed for those who work and play hard. It offers the Android 1.5 operating system, and automatically syncs and integrates office and personal information such as emails, calendar appointments and contacts.
"Motorola i1 is the only Android device to offer Nextel Direct Connect as well as the latest smartphone features and the ability to withstand some of the harshest environments," said Fared Adib, vice president – Product Development, Sprint. "This phone brings a new level of smartphone to our Nextel customers making it one of the most efficient devices to get work done, and our customers who rely on Direct Connect will appreciate this feature-packed phone that doesn't miss on must-have features like Wi-Fi and a 5 megapixel camera."
Motorola i1 enhances the Nextel Direct Connect experience with the ability to view who is calling regardless of what application you are in, whether you are managing your emails, checking your calendar, composing messages or viewing media.
Motorola i1 also offers a variety of robust business and entertainment applications through Android Market™, and when combined with the built-in Wi-Fi capabilities, it provides a great view of what's happening both personally and professionally. Applications like Scan2PDF Mobile 2.0, Unit Converter – ConvertPad and RealCalc Scientific Calculator can help get work done, while staying connected to friends through Facebook™ or Tweeting using an easily customizable Twitter™ app like Touiteur.
In addition, Sprint partner applications available for businesses on the Motorola i1 include:
Xora™ mobile workforce management solutions provide businesses with real-time visibility into field operations, and helps automate payroll and job workflow processes. The Android version of Xora Time Track™ includes new features like photo barcode scanning and signature capture, eliminating the need to purchase additional hardware to support such capabilities.
TeleNavTrack™ uses the latest technologies to make mobile workforce and asset management reliable and affordable for businesses of all sizes. It lets businesses use wireless barcode scanning to track inventory and assets, manage deliveries, better predict arrival times, change schedules on-the-fly and deploy workers. It can also reduce paperwork by allowing the mobile workforce to complete invoices, orders and timesheets on the device.

Key features include:
Popular business tools such as Microsoft® Document Viewer and corporate sync ensure Word or PowerPoint files can be accessed on the go
Message entry is a breeze with both Android standard virtual keyboard and Swype™ virtual keyboards being offered
A 5 megapixel camera with flash, geo-tagging and panoramic capabilities provides crisp photos and clearly displays them on the vibrant 3.1-inch HVGA screen, and video can also be recorded and stored on a provided microSD for sharing or future viewing straight from the device
The Android browser allows you to see web pages and Flash 8-enabled sites in full view using Wi-Fi, and the latest Opera Mini 5 browser enables quick browsing over the Nextel National Network and Wi-Fi

According to a tweet by Netflix’s official Twitter account, the video streaming service is preparing for a launch in Canada this fall. The tweet says: Netflix is launching in Canada this fall! Go to www.netflix.ca to sign up to receive an email when the service has launched.
In America, we have enjoyed the services of Netflix for quite some time, so it’s nice to see our neighbors up north get some love.

 Section: Computers, Security  Microsoft is warning users about a critical security flaw that affects all versions of Windows. The flaw involves .ink files, which are the shortcuts that are displayed on the desktop. Hackers are creating malicious .ink files and distributing them via USB drives and other methods including peer to peer networks. To become infected all the user has to do is view the file. The malware installed is called Stuxnet. It installed a Trojan that downloads other malware including a rootkit that hides all evidence of the attack. The malware bypasses ALL of the security measures in Windows including User Account Control prompts and the disabling of AutoPlay and AutoRun.
This malware is EXTREMELY dangerous. The malware is designed to look for SCADA (systems, which run factories, power plants, etc. In other words, it's looking to cause havoc with the systems that run our governments, infrastructures, factories, power and manufacturing plants and other critical systems, Very nasty. Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) Microsoft investigated the hole, acknowledged it, and inexplicably said they have no plans to fix it! Unbelievable. If they change their minds those still using XP SP2, Windows 2000, or Windows 98 or below will be left out in the cold. The company says they will not issue security patches for any version of Windows they no longer support and those users will have to upgrade to XP SP3, Vista, or Windows 7 to get the patch. Unless Microsoft comes to their senses the only way to block attacks is to disable the display of shortcuts and turn off the WebClient service. Doing so however requires editing the registry, which is not something to be taken lightly and only experienced users should even attempt it. If you're using an older version of Windows now would be a VERY good time to upgrade. You are simply not going to be protected from threats like this if you don't.

 Section: Communications, Cellular Providers, Broadband Cards, Mobile, Computers, Wireless Verizon may be getting ready to roll out a “Global Ready” 3G modem. The modem is MiFi-like in that its wireless and offers a connection by way of Wi-Fi. The device is called the FiveSpot and appears like it will be a match for those global phones in that it will have both CDMA and GSM capabilities. And given the name, one could assume that the FiveSpot will allow up to five wireless connections at a given time. Otherwise, its a pretty picture but we are still waiting to hear the important details—the pricing and release.

 Section: Communications, Cellphones, Cellular Providers, Smartphones, Mobile The Motorola Droid 2 has circulated around the web through numerous leaks, but we have only seen spy shots - never the official image. Basically, a sharp-eyed individual happened to find images of the Motorola Droid 2 while browsing through the source code of Verizon’s teaser site, DroidDoes. Perhaps it was purposely placed there by Verizon and Motorola in order to generate more buzz about the Motorola Droid 2 right before an official announcement. Or perhaps it was placed there mistakenly and the reader got lucky by finding it. Whatever the case may be, the pictures don’t really provide any details about the phone, but hopefully Verizon and Motorola are closer to announcing the phone. As of now, the phone is rumored for a August 23 release and should run Android 2.2 out-of-the-box. I only wish the official image showed the revamped keyboard.

 Section: Communications, Cellular Providers, Mobile It looks like the Verizon LTE rollout is getting closer and closer. Well, truth be told any new day means the launch is closer, but today there is some further details in the form of screenshots and SIM cards. First and foremost, the SIM cards, nothing really to look at here, but a Verizon 4G SIM card has been spotted in the wild. And shockingly enough, it looks just like any other SIM card. Otherwise, back to those screenshots. These are a little more interesting as compared to looking at a picture of a SIM. Unfortunately though, most of the details spilled here are what we have already seen. That said, it looks like the service will be able to offer speeds of between 5-12 Mbps downstream, 2-5 Mbps upstream and will be rolled out to 30 cities this year. In the end, its just nice to see further evidence. The one bit that seems to be new is that Verizon’s LTE offering will have a 30 milliseconds (ms) latency. Which for those not as familiar with that number, its much lower than the possible 100 ms found in some 3G and/or WiMax offerings. With that, it still looks funny to see a Verizon branded SIM.

 Section: Communications, Cellphones, Cellular Providers, Smartphones, Mobile The HTC Droid Eris was rumored to receive an OTA software update beginning July 16 and it looks like users in the Verizon Community Forum did indeed receive the update. One of the major fixes of the OTA update is the Silent Call issue. As with all OTA roll outs, it takes a while to reach the entire customer base so I suspect most users haven’t received the MR4 update just yet. In case you don’t want to wait for the roll out, the update file has been located on Google servers so you can download and install it immediately. By the way HTC, we’re still waiting on the Android 2.2 update for the Droid Eris.

 Section: Gadgets / Other, ebooks It looks like the FCC has outed an updated version of the Barnes & Noble nook. But all in all it does not appear to be a major change, not yet anyway. So far the listing confirms that the device is a nook and is 3G capable. Its also labeled as BNRZ100-01, which is a change from the original. Or probably more accurately said, an addition from the original which was BNRZ100. Bottom line, it looks like this version of the nook will have a Sierra Wireless MC8201V 3G wireless card, which is touting support for the 850 and 1900 MHz bands. That said, there was also a confidentiality letter attached that requested photos (along with user manual) be held for 180 days. In other words, it looks like either a new or updated nook will be coming sooner than later.

 Section: Apple, Communications, Cellphones, Smartphones, Mobile As everyone can tell, June has come and gone and the white iPhone 4 is still no where in site. Though, according to Steve Jobs, it should begin shipping before the end of July. Well, assuming we can believe this latest report in the Chinese language newspaper, the 21st Century Business Herald—the reason behind the delay of the white iPhone 4 was due to issues with the glass supplier. A worker from Lens' quality control department has allegedly admitted that the company's screen-printing workshop may currently be dealing with some issues with the white iPhone 4 covers. Specifically, the factory's still working out the perfect combination of paint thickness and opacity — the former to ensure the next sub-contractor has enough clearance for the digitizer overlay, and the latter for the absolute whiteness that Jony Ive and co. strive for.
Given that, it seems like they were trying to find the right amount of paint that should be applied. I guess if nothing else at least its not an actual shortage of parts. And at least with that, once these are ready to ship, they should be able to ship on a regular basis.

 Section: Communications, Cellphones, Cellular Providers, Smartphones, Mobile While the Motorola Droid X experienced a successful launch just a few days ago, Verizon Wireless is wasting no time in rolling out a new OTA update that makes several improvements and enhancements. The update is dubbed 1.13.604.MB810.Verizon.en.US/Baseband: BP_C01.09.04P and Verizon has a PDF article highlighting the improvements and enhancements. Improvements:
+ Improved battery charging status indicator.
+ Smoother transition for camera and camcorder functions.
+ Redesign of weather widget icons.
+ Faster Exchange ActiveSync® email loading.
+ Streamlined organization of newly downloaded applications.
+ Organized favorite contacts by call count.
+ Updated Bluetooth® connection for enhanced video
sharing experience.
+ Coordinated date and time across phone displays.
+ Cleaner looking status bar for GPS symbol.
+ Improved sync capabilities for 3G Mobile Hotspot.
+ Faster Visual Voice Mail loading.
Enhancements:
+ Take advantage of the enhanced, preloaded My Verizon application.
+ Preloaded Amazon Kindle® application lets you read Kindle books on
your Android™ phone, including thousands of free books.
Even though the software OTA update is not the coveted Android 2.2 update, it still should offer some nice fixes and additional features for Droid X owners. The roll out is scheduled to begin July 19, but as with all OTA roll outs, it takes several days for all devices to be updated.

 Section: Audio, Portable Audio, Web, Online Music/Video It looks like Microsoft has officially launched the Zune Pass subscription service for those in the UK. Unfortunately this does not mean anyone in the UK is going to be able to run out and grab the Zune HD, not yet anyway. But instead this is said to have been done in anticipation of the launch of Windows Phone 7, which is expected later this year. The Zune Pass service seems to be the same as what we have here in the US in that you get to download and listen to an unlimited amount of tracks. That and, you also get to download and keep 10 DRM-free MP3’s per month. Finally, the service will set you back £8.99 on a monthly basis or £26.97 for three months. There is also a 14 day free trial available. Now lets just hope that the Zune and Zune Pass see more International success than it has US success. Because as we all know, the US success is debatable. Otherwise, interestingly enough, at the current exchange rate the service is actually a slight bit cheaper in the UK. Take the £8.99, that is about $13.74 and here it would set you back $14.99.

 Section: Communications, Cellphones, Cellular Providers, Smartphones, Mobile Only about a week ago, we reported the Motorola Charm was going to be delayed until August 25. It looks like the rumor just got some serious support as TmoNews found an internal document that shows various T-Mobile phones and points out the August 25 launch date for the Charm. We’re still not sure why the Motorola Charm release date has been pushed back, but the latest rumor indicates there is an underlying battery issue with the device. In any case, it looks like the Charm with all its Android goodness will be launching August 25 and it will launch in two different colors. One model is Cabernet color and the second model features a Golden-Bronze finish. For those looking for a cheaper Android alternative to the Samsung Vibrant and like social networking, the Motorola Charm may not be a bad option.
