RIM BlackBerry Monaco Touch and Sedonda outed (leaked, leaks, tech, news, report, update, 2011)

Images and specifications for new hitherto unseen BlackBerry messaging phones have surfaced online, as it looks to build on the huge sales for the Torch and the warm critical reception afforded its latest operating system.

Unearthed by Crackberry, the Monaco Touch features a 3.7-inch touchscreen, plus 4GB of internal memory, a none too shabby five megapixel camera and a 1.2 GHz Qualcomm processor to keep everything ticking over smoothly.

And in line with the highest-end smartphones we’re seeing of late (CF: the Google Nexus S), it’ll also pack support for Near Field Communication (NFC) technology for contactless payments and tethering too.

Specs for the second leaked smartie, the BlackBerry Sedonda, are thinner on the ground. But we do know that it’ll also pack NFC support, plus A-GPS, an 800Mhz processor and all your standard connectivity options (think: Bluetooth and Wi-Fi).

UK availability and carriers for both handsets have yet to be confirmed. But they’re expected to drop around August or September this year.

Apple iPad 2: No microSD card support feature, according to insider (leaked, leaks, news, report, tech)

Speculation that the second-gen iPad will feature support for microSD cards is wide of the mark, it has been claimed.

Reports that the iPad 2 would offer expandable memory surfaced back in December, when leaked shots of cases for the device showed an opening in the upper left-hand corner.

An inside source whom AppleInsider “trusts on matters such as these” has rebuffed the suggestions, claiming that the slot is nothing of the sort. In fact, the slot is simply a new location for the iPad’s micro SIM tray, he says.

News of specs for Apple’s tablet comes as fellow iFansite 9to5Mac, claims to have got hold of an iPad 2 display from a Chinese third-party components maker. According to the site, the screen is lighter and up to 1mm thinner than the current-gen slate.

Other rumoured features for the tablet include dual cameras, a unibody design, more on board storage and a 2GHz processor to keep everything ticking over real nice, like.

Rumour: Nokia to join force with Microsoft Windoes Phone 7 on February 11th, 2011? Abby Technology Limited

Get your saltshakers ready kids. Word on the streets is that Nokia, the world’s biggest mobile corp. is set to do a deal with the devil, sorry, Microsoft, that it will announce this time next week.

Nokia boss Stephen Elop, who previously headed Microsoft’s business division before taking the helm at Espoo, is due to make the groundbreaking announcement at a press call in London on the 11th.

Carolina Milanesi, a Gartner analyst, said: “I don’t know if this is just wishful thinking, but it could definitely be the big announcement we are expecting.”

Wishful thinking or not, it was enough to cause Nokia shares to rise 1.5 per cent at the close of trading in Helsinki yesterday – an impressive bump of four per cent since news of the development first surfaced on Monday.

Nokia has been hinting for a while that it is considering “multiple ecosystem patterns”, which tech watchers interpreted, with good reason, as a potential, if limited, adoption of Android.

However, it seems the Finnish giant isn’t too keen on handing over the keys to smartphone supremacy to Google just yet and would rather chance it with Microsoft’s still-new Windows Phone 7 platform where it has a greater opportunity to dominate the lion's share of smartphone sales.

And from Microsoft's perspective at least, having major players like HTC, Samsung and LG already on board with WP7, and now catching the biggest fish in the pond of them all, right in brink of what seemed like an inevitable partnership with Google could seriously knock the wind out of Android’s sails.

Of course, it’s still possible that Nokia could yet adopt Android at a later date and the alliance with Microsoft is still just a rumour. Watch this space like a hawk for more information next Friday.

Leaked: Branded Android phone HTC denied by Facebook! Abby Technology - Android Phone Repair

Facebook has rubbished claims of a branded handset reportedly being developed by Taiwanese smartphone giant HTC.

Rumours of the widely hyped ‘Facebook phone’ have been doing the rounds lately, but the social networking site has been quick to quash the latest gossip with an official statement to the press.

Dan Rose, head of business development with Facebook, said: "The rumours around there being something more to this HTC device are overblown.”

Business daily City AM recently claimed that the phone by HTC “will run on a tweaked version of Google’s Android operating system and will prominently display users’ Facebook messages and news feed on the home screen”.

However, Facebook would have none of the speculation and clarified the handset’s status once and for all.

“This is really just another example of a manufacturer who has taken our public APIs and integrated them into their device in an interesting way”, Rose added.

Asked if the phone would be Facebook branded, Rose replied with a categorical “No”.

Talk of the Facebook phone first emerged with the INQ Cloud Touch, which makes use of Facebook features on the phone’s home screen but is not branded. We are still baffled why a phone needs to be slapped with a Facebook logo at all.

Top 10 Reasons why PlayStation Suite makes Android a gaming winner?

The dawn of PlayStation Suite for Android marks a huge turning point for gaming on Google’s OS. At last, we’re not only getting a third-party app store that matters, but also one that’ll put phones using the Big G’s software bang up against the iPhone and its dominant position in the world of mobile gaming. Here’s our Top 10 reasons why Sony’s store will make Android the go-to OS for gamers.

1 It’s “hardware neutral”

Essentially, this means it’ll work on any Android phone running 2.3 or higher, whether they come with physical controls or touchscreens. That means games won’t be built with just one device in mind, so gamers can essentially own whichever Google phone they like and still play nice.

2 PlayStation titles

Sony says that classic PSOne titles will be up for grabs when PlayStation Suite launches later this year. That immediately makes this a more hardcore proposition than the iPhone, with the chance to reminisce over some seriously classy games.

3 It’ll be available on the NGP, AKA PSP 2

The Next Generation Portable might not be a phone, but the Suite’s position on the device means devs creating new games will be striving to build games for punters on a full-on gaming platform as well as one based on a mobile phone. That should mean the quality is high.

4 It’s being monitored

One of the key complaints about Android Market is its lack of approval process. Not so PlayStation Suite, which Sony says will have a ‘Certified’ programme to ensure titles are up to snuff. Google could certainly learn something here from the Big S.

5 It’s not just for phones

That “hardware neutral” factor again. Sony says “tablet PCs” will work with PlayStation Suite, all meaning Honeycomb tablets will be able to get a slice of the gaming action and take the iPad on at its own game.

6 There’s money to be made

Sony has said one of its key concerns with its Android games store is helping devs “expand their business opportunities”. Put simply, that means it wants to make them money. With Google admitting that devs are struggling to cash in via Android Market, perhaps PlayStation Suite is a smarter, more lucrative alternative.

7 Exclusive games

Sony-backed games are more likely to find their way onto PlayStation Suite than onto the App Store. That means you’ll only be able to snag certain titles using Android, immediately putting Apple at a disadvantage.

8 No looking back to old versions of Android

The fact Sony is opting to put this on Gingerbread or higher shows it’s aware of the damage of trying to bring this to older devices that won’t be able to hack the pace of resource heavy games. PlayStation Suite pushes Android further towards the top tier of smartphones.

9 It gives Android the gaming impetus pre-MWC

All the gaming talk at MWC will focus on PlayStation Suite and how it works on the forthcoming Xperia Play (aka the PlayStation Phone). Without it, gaming would not be a big factor at the world’s biggest mobile show.

10 Utilising bigger screens

Android phones’ larger screen real estate is prime for gaming content, so blowers with panels of 4-inches will be perfect for the PlayStation Suite. The iPhone’s smaller number will have t get bigger this summer if it wants to compete.
