TD News: Comments broken, Twitter still working
You may have noticed that the comments have 404ed on us since the site melted last Friday. Mercifully, the TD is working again but the comments and tips form have, as yet, to recover.
However, life on TD is incredibly boring without you so keep your views, opinions, insults and suggestions coming in through the medium of Twitter. If you want to comment, send us a DM
Sexy View – mobile malware not a pr0n site
It may sound like the kind of thing Borat would say but Sexy View is a piece of malware aimed at mobile phones and designed to send back data on your handset and your number.
It targets S60 3rd Edition…
Microsoft notebook Cooling Base and extra Arc Mice colours
It’s all very well having the Xbox but, what with the notebook market currently under explosion, you can understand why Microsoft might not be feeling the love in the PC hardware market.
So, today, they set aside their Lifecams and announce a slightly pointless laptop cooling station for the price of $29.95…
Samsung announces dates and deets on the S5600 and S5230 phones
Well, looky what we’ve got here. I almost had a heart attack for a minute when I thought these were a couple of Android handsets from Samsung, especially after yesterday’s comments. No, instead the S5600 and S5230 run on the very acceptable TouchWiz UI and sport a 2.8″ QVGA and 3″ WQVGA touchscreen respectively, both with haptic…
OPINION: Why is nobody using Android?
I’m going to do you a favour before I make you read everything I’ve got to say. I don’t know the answer. I don’t know why just about every phone manufacturer save Apple and Nokia has given Google’s mobile OS the cold battery cover ever since the G1 came out in October last year. I don’t know.
You don’t hear any Android user talking about how rubbish the platform is. You don’t hear any developers saying it isn’t any good either, and in techland, that’s a sign that a product is more or less perfect. So, what’s the problem…
USB key keys from LaCie
These are keys. Except they’re not keys; except they are. And yet not.
What I can tell you with 100% certainty is that they’re made by LaCie. Well, sort of. They’re manufactured by them but designed by the award winning 5.5 Designers. That’s close enough for me.
What you’re looking at is three products shaped like keys. Now, of course they’re not keys, they’re USB sticks…
iPlayer goes HD while Sky gets 3D
Sky has confirmed that they will be adding 3D functionality to their + HD satellite receiver boxes and, in slightly better if less solid news, the BBC has dropped an anvil of a hint suggesting that iPlayer will be getting a dedicated HD channel next month.
Sky tested out the service after recording episodes of…
Philips GoGear Spark: now with full colour screen, but little else
Philips has leant its range of budget MP3 players a long overdue refresh. Remember the GoGear? Well, ladles and jellyspoons, I give you – the GoGear Spark!
Yes, that’s right; gather round, gather round. What once was a rather plain Jane super brain of mini OLEDs has become a fully colour…
SHINY VIDEO PREVIEW: Acer M900 smartphone
It may be a little on the chunky side at 188g and you may not be a fan of Windows Mobile 6.1 – not really sure who is – but otherwise the Acer M900 smartphone has got plenty to offer. There’s GPS, full HSDPA browsing capability, a 256MB processor, a fingerprint reader and, oh, I’ll let this guy tell you the rest…
Acer unveils phone roadmap for 2009
At what appeared to be just to be a closer look at the Acer Tempo range of smartphones we saw at MWC, the notebook giants revealed their mobile phone plans for world domination.
By Q3 2009, you can expect to see handsets such as the H2, L1, C1 and E1 sporting 5-megapixel cameras and all working on Windows Mobile 6.5. It will mean that by the end of the year, the company that sells 33 million computers worldwide will have over 10 mobile phones…
