It’s barely been two days since we heard that “Dan” at Peek had opened a suggestion box for would-be customers to recommend “minor” tweaks for their email only handheld, so we assume today’s news is unrelated. Regardless, there was a pretty decent upgrade to the device last night, adding the ability to view image attachments, as well as text messaging capabilities. Texting works through an SMS email gateway, with users entering numbers in the “To:” field, but we’re not going to start nitpicking about technicalities. Seriously though, if they add a way to make calls to this thing, we’re totally sold.

We just got the official announcement of Celio’s REDFLY C8N a few hours ago, and Laptop magazine’s already had a chance to touch it and make a video! Their initial impressions? That $20 REDFLY Media Cable you have to buy to hook the C8N up to your phone is a tangled mess! This is exciting stuff, folks — that is if you are just dying to shell out $299 for a buddy for your Windows Mobile device. Check out the terrifically brief video of the terminal after the break.

LG Incite for AT&T, now with more official
Posted by Jo
Filed under: Cellphones, Handhelds
We noticed this on AT&T’s web store in the wee hours this morning, and sure enough, they’ve gone ahead and announced the LG Incite in all its official glory today (normally the announcement comes before the web store stuff, but whatever). It’s got WiFi, a 3-megapixel camera, a 3-inch touchscreen equipped with haptics and 400 x 240 resolution, AT&T Navigator, microSD support up to 16GB, triband HSDPA, and Windows Mobile 6.1 — in other words, LG’s produced a nice QWERTY-less foil to the Fuze here. It’s available straight away in stores, too, as long as you’re willing to shell out the $199.99 on contract after rebates.

The G1’s taken some flak for being just a little less fashion-forward than the hottest handsets on the market, but as retail Android handsets go, it’s the most beautiful thing going — and we think that illustrious title’s safe for the time being. Meet the “Dream G2″ (groan) from China’s Sciphone, a brick of an Android-powered handset promised for a November 28 release featuring EDGE data, WiFi, 4-megapixel cam with autofocus, 50MB of internal memory, microSD expansion to 16GB, FM radio, a QVGA display, and “the most advanced software ever engineered.” Without a physical keyboard (as far as we can see, anyhow) and no software support in Android promised for a few months at minimum, it’s unclear how you’ll input text, but hey, the release is still a good ten days away — maybe these guys are good at thinking on their feet.

At Adobe’s MAX event this morning, none other than Andy Rubin himself helped to demo Flash running on a G1, proving that it’s possible (in case years of Nokias with S60 browsers haven’t already done a sufficient job of showing that) and that Apple’s running out of excuses. It wasn’t mentioned exactly when we’d see it pushed out in an over-the-air update (or available from the Market, possibly, we suppose), but at least Rubin confirmed that Adobe and Google are pooling their collective noggins to make it happen. Ads for life insurance just aren’t the same without an animated dancing dude or flying pig, so we’re delighted to hear that some balance is going to be restored to the world.

We’ve heard some rumors that were pretty far out in left field, but this one is far out. In fact, the only reason we’re giving it even an ounce of credence is that it’s a perfect market opportunity — we mean, who isn’t dreadfully sick of the plain jane digital photo frames that are impossible to distinguish from one another? At any rate, whispers have it that HP is working up a frame that will double as a slate PC of sorts, giving users a full blown web browser, e-mail client, RSS reader and access to other “widgets and lightweight applications.” Predictably, the mythical unit will be marketed as a companion internet device, and we’re told that it may even boast an Intel Atom CPU alongside a 10-inch panel and a WiFi radio. We’ll find out if you’ll really be burning $400 on this so-called conglomerate before the year’s end.

Murphy’s Law dictated from the very beginning that Verizon’s claim of a November launch for the Storm meant late November (at best), and indeed, it now looks like that’s where we’re headed. Boy Genius Report has picked up some juicy documentation that seems to suggest that November 24 is the zero day with a $199.99 retail price after rebate; what’s more, stores will be opening an hour early to accomodate the throngs of rabid, frothing-at-the-mouth businessmen and businesswomen in Zegna suits looking for their latest BlackBerry fix. It looks like there’ll also be a “pre-launch” on the 20th, meaning customers Verizon really cares about — not us, by any stretch of the imagination — will have a chance stroll into one of 123 extra-special corporate stores to tool around with a demo unit and place their order in person. Either way, stores are expected to have tons of units available for sale on the 24th, so don’t show up at 8pm the night before. Unless you’re into that sort of thing.

Fuze rears its glossy head in some AT&T stores
Posted by Jo
Filed under: Cellphones, Handhelds
Can’t be long now, right? First we had dummies, but these are the real deal, ladies and gentlemen — a little over five ounces of HSDPA, VGA, TouchFLO 3D, QWERTY, and likely a bunch more letters and numbers we’re not recalling at the moment. Retail Fuzes are trickling into stores as we speak, though they’re apparently going under lock and key; as far as we can tell, none will be sold until AT&T drops the green flag. In the meantime, Sprint, pimp that Touch Pro of yours as hard as you can, because we’re afraid your exclusivity is about to end.
