So is it iTablet or iSlate now? Confusing isn’t it? No one is certain, but after it was revealed that Apple had bought the domain islate.com in 2007, many now speculate that Steve Jobs had been planning this all along and that the device we’re about to see will be called iSlate. I personally think the name iSlate is an awful name for a tablet and believe this is just coincidental that we find out about this just one month before we think Apple is due to announce their iTablet Mac – the date for this is thought to be 26th 27th of January.
Its nearly Christmas holiday time for us here at GadgetLite, so we thought we better cover one more thing thats really been hot and trendy for the last two weeks in the technology world. The Google Phone aka Nexus One, by now, all gadget fans will probably have heard of how amazing it is.
It appears Motorola has been building their own Android Marketplace known as the SHOP4APPS and Android and Me got there to check it out before Moto pulled the plug on it. Its web-based which means it would be accessable from any desktop browser. Its got all the usual free apps and paid apps, but why would Motorola want to have their own Android OS application marketplace?
Here’s a picture of supposedly a leaked document of a new Nokia N87 mobile which has been mentioned to come with a 12-megapixel camera, dual LED Xenon flash, a 3.2″ capacitive WVGA display, 16GB of internal flash memory and a 600MHz processor. Its highly subjective to speculation especially at this stage where there isn’t even a prototype in sight, wonder what it will look like?
It looks like all the waiting may finally be over. Its been leaked just over the weekend that BBC could be in the middle of developing an iPhone / iPod Touch application for their free UK online TV and radio catchup on-demand service – iPlayer. Leaked from the BBC’s latest monthly press pack, normally the monthly press pack is created to provide viewing figures and usage statistics for the iPlayer video on demand service in the UK. But this latest one also shows an image of an iPlayer application running on the iPhone.
Leaked by Motorola themself in a webpage that was meant to be published at a later date are the specs of the Motorola Droid. We spoke about the Android Moto as a potential iPhone killer this week, now its specs have been confirmed.
The Droid will have a 3.7-inch, 16:9 touch screen with 480 x 854 resolution. A 5 megapixel camera with 4x zoom, autofocus, and dual LED flash. A 1400 mAh Li-ion battery for up to 385 minutes of usage time and 270 hours standby. The powerhouse of the phone will be a 550MHz processor. There will be a pre-installed 16GB microSD card. Connectivity wise, GPS, Bluetooth, 802.11b/g WiFi and a micro USB port as standard. Six ounces of weight spread out over a 2.4 x 4.6 x 0.5-inch body.
A list has been going around and leaked onto the internet, AppleInsider claims that they have got word of all the product announcements coming today from Apple. This also includes specs for a new iMac, new Mac Mini, and some other new updated goodies including Time Capsules with some sort of sim dualband?
