by Alexander Maxham on Jan 17, 2012 0 Comments">0
News from the United Kingdom today from retailer Clove Technology (which is a company a lot of us use to import phones from the UK) that we’re going to have to wait even longer, perhaps until February for official Galaxy Nexus accessories. Clove was expecting to start shipping the accessories mid-January, but a statement on their blog today states other wise. Citing delays from Samsung as the cause for the delay, their expected ship date is now February 13th. Pretty disappointing but what can we do? It’s like the Verizon Galaxy Nexus launch all over again. As Clove said in their blog …

Sony Tablet S Arriving on September 16th for $499. Will You Buy One?
by Lucian Armasu on Sep 06, 2011 3 Comments">3
Sony is one of the biggest consumer electronics companies in the world, and their products are usually pretty high-quality, at least compared to most other manufacturers. So as the tablet market was taking off, they couldn’t be left out of the game, and they decided to enter the market not with one, but two tablets, and try to make them as “different” as possible from their competitors. I’d say they succeeded doing that, but it remains to be seen if the customers will prefer their tablets over the ones from their competitors. The Sony Tablet S, which is the larger …

by Lucian Armasu on Sep 05, 2011 3 Comments">3
If you still don’t think Android is the future not only of most high-end smartphones, but also of most low-end ones, where Nokia has historically dominated, then this should throw some cold water on you. A new research shows Android is now on 47% of all new smartphones in UK, where Symbian has only 7.2% left, which is down 19 points from last year’s 26% market share. One fifth of the UK smartphone market, or 70% of Nokia’s market in smartphones gone in one year. Just like that. Over the years when Nokia started losing market share to Android and …

The HTC Legend is now available for pre-order on Vodafone UK, and other websites operating as resellers for Vodafone. The website quite clearly states that if you pre-order yours today you should receive it first, and it is expected on 6 April, which is a Tuesday.

Since the launch of the G1 in the USA, Amazon MP3 has been available for Android to those in the States. However, the rest of the world, including the UK, has been somewhat neglected. This is all about to change. The website belonging to the well respected British Newspaper, ‘The Telegraph’, is reporting that the update to Android 2.1 will also include a copy of the Amazon MP3 application.

It was first announced earlier this month and will also pack a 528 MHz Qualcomm processor, 512MB ROM/256MB RAM, and a 2.8’’ resistive touch-screen display. Vodafone’s own website state that it will offer a 3.2’’ display, which is probably a typo as this is also the same spec as the camera. Here …
