Section: Communications, Mobile, Computers, Mobile Computers, Wireless It looks like another Android tablet maybe hitting the US market soon. This Android 2.1 tablet was earlier announced but its maker, Creative a couple of months ago. But back then, there was not a mention of its release date. And although, there’s still no definite yet on when it will be arriving on the US market, the fact that it has just hit the FCC says that this might be happening sooner than we can think of. Anyway, based on its FCC filings, the Creative Ziio 7 Tablet sports a 7-inch resistive touch screen with 480x800 resolution, 16GB of storage, front-facing VGA camera, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and microSD support. This Android 2.1 table packs in Creative’s ZiiLABS HD application processor which is not yet proven as to how it can actually perform on a 7-inch tablet device. In addition, the Ziio 7 Tablet will be available in 8GB or 16GB storage capacity with possible price tags of $315 and $350, respectively. And like other devices that were released right after they were reported to have reached the FCC, expect the Creative Ziio 7 Tablet from your favorite retailers, pretty soon.

 Section: Communications, Smartphones, Mobile With Black Friday done, and Cyber Monday winding down, online shoppers still need deals for products they may want to buy already. Verizon Wireless is stepping up to offer a full 24 days of discounts to customers with it’s “24 Days of Seasonal Surprises” promotion. The promotion is simple, everyday you visit Verizon’s site, and connect either Twitter or Facebook to the site. Then you have to send out a promotional message that you can’t change to “unwrap” the deal. Thankfully, you can always delete the message afterwards if you don’t want to advertise the deals for Verizon. Today the deal is 15% off any already reduced price BlackBerry device. Each day the deal will change, but will be the same for everyone. Hopefully the next few deals will be a bit more exciting. Along with the deals is the “Ultimate Digital Giveaway” where Verizon will be giving out a $10,000 package for one winner. Not a bad way to celebrate the holidays.

 Section: Gadgets / Other, ebooks The monochrome LCD eReader is getting closer to worldwide launch, with a US release sometime early next year. The Eee Note should be out in the US by the first quarter of 2011, with other countries between then and late this year. The Asus Eee Note is an 8-inch eBook reader with a stylus for it’s touchscreen, perfect for note-taking. What sets it apart from other readers is the fact that it uses a monochrome LCD screen rather than e-ink like most other devices. With the LCD screen comes a hit on battery life. The Eee Note will run for about 13.5 hours of continuous use on a single charge. The Eee Reader lasts for about two weeks. That screen also comes a lower price than Asustek’s other eBook reader, the Eee Reader. Both are available in Taiwan now, or will be soon. The Eee Reader sells for roughly US$391, while the Eee Note comes in at about US$228. With the US launch coming early next year, we can expect to see the Eee Note, and likely the Eee Reader at CES in January. Hopefully by that time Asus will have more exact US launch dates and prices.

 Section: Communications, Smartphones, Mobile, Gaming, Mobile, Portable While there are plenty of more important things in life aside from playing video games on your smartphone, it is hard to argue that is a fun way to waste some time. And one of those fun games just so happens to be Angry Birds and sadly those sporting a Windows Phone 7 device are going to have to wait a bit longer before getting to play. The question was posed; “to confirm, no Angry Birds for WP7 this calendar year, right?”
And the reply was simple enough; “never say never, but it’s highly unlikely”
With that, look for Angry Birds to arrive in the Windows Marketplace sometime in the next calendar year, otherwise known as 2011. Via [The Next Web] Full Story » | Written by Robert Nelson for Gadgetell. | Comment on this Article »
 Section: Communications, Smartphones, Mobile MahTweets for Windows Phone: Push Notifications from Paul Jenkins on Vimeo. It looks like a third party Twitter app has beaten the official Twitter app in the race to offer push notifications. The third party app is called MahTweets and they have announced that push notifications will soon be possible. The support will include mentions and direct messages however the catch is that the app is not yet available in the Markeplace. That said, it has been submitted and it waiting approval, sadly though, it has already been submitted and rejected two times in the past. Otherwise, the MahTweets app seems like a worthy competitor with other features including read only support for Yammer and Tumblr as well as TwitPic uploads, Geotagging, themes and support for multiple accounts. The one drawback comes in with lists, which are not yet supported. But with that, the MahTweets account is available for free so given that, it seems worthy of a download just to see if it measures up for your needs.

 Section: Communications, Smartphones, Mobile, Computers, Mobile Computers, Gaming, Mobile, Portable Rovio Mobile seems to have been spending some quality time answering user questions on Twitter as of late, and buried in amongst the many questions and answers is one that Android users will likely want to read—the seasonal content is coming. The news is coming as a result of a question looking for more levels for Android users. “the next thing for Android is the seasonal update…”
But with that there is nothing in terms of when that will be arriving. Still, it is nice to see that Android users will soon be playing the seasonal variety just like those sporting an iOS device.

 Section: Communications, Smartphones, Mobile If you are still looking for a good deal on a smartphone this holiday season Best Buy may be a good place to look because at present they still have their Cyber Monday sale going on. The sale is going to be ending today, however that means there is still time to get the Droid Incredible with Verizon Wireless as well as the T-Mobile G2 for free. In addition there is also the HTC HD7 for T-Mobile available for $79.99 and the HTC Aria for AT&T available for free. That said, keep in mind that all of these deals do require a two-year contract with the carrier but on the flip side, they all come with free shipping.

 Section: Communications, Smartphones, Mobile, Computers, Mobile Computers, Gaming, Mobile, Portable Based on some tweets coming from the RovioMobile account, it looks like the Christmas Edition of Angry Birds is going to arrive as a free update for those who purchased the Halloween Edition. @nickbouwhuis it’s a free update to the Halloween game for iPhone and iPad
Now that just leaves us with when it is going to arrive, but seeing as Christmas is still several weeks away, it seems like there is still plenty of time. And interestingly enough, it seems like the Halloween Edition was separate from the regular in an effort to keep the games at under 20MB. “free update. Halloween was separate because we need to keep app under 20Mb. Christmas is coming to Halloween.”
