Posted by thumpad.com in General, Mobile phones, Portable device., Software on July 1, 2010
Hold your horses – the XPERIA X10 migration to Eclair 2.1 hasn't begun yet. However Sony Ericsson released a major firmware update for their Android flagship improving its performance and stability.
So while you won't be getting much in terms of new features, there are very good reasons to accept the Over-the-air update, pushed to your XPERIA X10. Network data connection and Wi-Fi will both do the trick of downloading it, depending on your preferences.

Posted by thumpad.com in General, Mobile phones, Portable device. on June 4, 2010
Another week, another Android phone comes trotting out of the stable. This time it’s the Motorola Flipout, a square-shaped blower with a full QWERTY keyboard that “flips out” from the body (see what they did there?).The Flipout comes with Android 2.1, with Moto’s own Motoblur interface sitting on top of it.

still not announced , Motorola Droid Xtreme pictured yet again
Posted by thumpad.com in General, Mobile phones on June 4, 2010
Quickly becoming the most well-leaked handsets since the next iPhone, Motorola's fine little piece of kit informally known so far as the Droid Shadow / Xtreme has shown up yet again — and this time, we're getting a great view of that bulbous posterior. The 8 megapixel cam, HD video capture, and dual LED flash are all confirmed, which takes just a little edge off the EVO 4G's reign, we'd say. Competition is grand, ain't it?

sells out in a flash 'Black' HTC Desire comes to Orange UK
Posted by thumpad.com in General, Mobile phones, Portable device. on May 5, 2010
We'll be perfectly honest with you: we're not seeing what's “black” about the front of the Desire that Orange UK is now selling, but it insists that the phone is indeed devoid of color; we suspect they're actually just referring to the back, for which the description seems more accurate — but that would make it no different than any other Desire being sold around the world. What does that mean? Basically, we think it means these guys need to get their eyesight checked. Spec-wis……

It may not exactly be a major player in the mobile OS field, but its Linux-based Azingo Mobile OS does look to be capable enough (complete with a Webkit-based browser and Flash runtime), and the acquisition is especially interesting in light of some recent comments made by Motorola co-CEO Sanjay Jha.

other 25 percent think Opera Mini is a tiny concert, NPD: 75 percent of US iPhone, iPod touch users download content,
Posted by thumpad.com in General, Mobile phones, Multimedia on May 5, 2010
While we can't honestly imagine an iDevice user going about their life without connecting to the iTunes App Store at least once in a blue moon — if not on a semi-permanent basis — the statistically-significant NPD Group decided to look into the matter regardless. Sure enough, the org reports that a full three-quarters of iPhone and iPod touch users in the US do indeed download apps and entertainment content from the internet. In case you're wondering, that figure beats the pants off ……
