WebKit-based Iris browser for Windows Mobile hits beta v2
November 19, 2008
Filed under: Software
We know how it goes — once you get your Windows Mobile setup situated how you enjoy it, making tweaks is a rare, rare occurrence. To that end, you probably passed on the highly hazardous first beta of the WebKit-based Iris browser. At long last, the entirely more stable beta v2 has emerged for those courageous enough to give it a go, and the designers are promising that the over 100 fixes and improvements make it “incredibly fast” and nearly life-altering. If you’re not keen on waiting for the next iteration of World wide web Explorer Mobile, and if you’re somehow not pleased with Opera Mini or Mobile Firefox, roll the dice with this one and see how things turn out.

AT&T starts to hawk Samsung Eternity on the internet
November 17, 2008
Filed under: Handsets, Samsung, ATT, GSM, EDGE, HSDPA, UMTS
If there’s some pressing matter that’s preventing you from making it out to an AT&T store, there’s a plan B you might want to investigate now that the carrier’s website has started offering the Samsung Eternity for sale. It’ll run you the same $149.99 on contract after rebate that it’s going for in-store — or $379.99 commitment-free if your life is too awesome and chaotic to sign it away for two years. Any Vu owners planning on caving to temptation?

Sprint posts Q3 net loss of $326 million, sees 1.3 million subs leave
November 11, 2008
Sprint’s year just keeps getting worse. After losing over 900,000 customers last quarter while posting a $344 million loss, the company insistent on advertising with faux soap operas and in black and white (and yellow) is hanging its head once more. During Q3, the carrier saw 1.3 million net subscribers head for the exits, and it also reported a loss of $326 million. According to CEO Dan Hesse, Sprint “has yet to turn the corner,” warning that the process of turning things around would be gradual. Moving forward, the company expects gross additions to “stabilize,” while the turnover rate is apt to remain at around 2.15%. In related news, the provider’s stock price has sunk around 60% in the past six months, and while that’s surely bad news to shareholders, not many other mega-corps out there are doing tremendously better.

Go on, Europeans — enjoy your Touch HD. It’s not like we want one in our part of the world anyway. In fact, don’t even bother checking out the read link, there’s nothing worth being totally envious of in there, anyway.

Kodak signs into patent cross-license agreement with Nokia
November 10, 2008
Filed under: Multimedia, Nokia, Misc
Details are pretty scant at the moment, but Eastman Kodak Company has entered into a mysterious patent license agreement with Nokia. All we’re told is that the deal will enable each outfit “access to the other’s intellectual property portfolio,” and it’ll also provide “significant benefits to both companies, [while being] royalty bearing to Kodak.” Outside of that, we’re left to wonder what’s in store here, so what they hey — we’ll take a stab: a Kodak sensor within the not-yet-conceived N97? Or maybe a Kodak-branded printer-scanner-fax machine in the Tube 2? The intrigue is killing us.

Greatest projector / iPhone clone combo handset in the world now up for sale
November 6, 2008
Filed under: Handsets
Look, here’s what you need to do: reach into the appropriate pocket on your personage, take out your phone, and throw it into the nearest wall. It sucks. The N70 from Lanye (or ChinaKing, or… somebody from China), which we’ve drooled over previously, is a candybar phone with a 2.4-inch screen, Bluetooth 2.0, and a tiny bit of dual-band GSM. Oh, and a built-in projector. And an interface that nearly perfectly mirrors that of the iPhone with the addition of voice recording and MMS. It’s awesome, and it’s now available for import for a mere $345. A bargain at any price.
[Thanks, Andrew]
