T-Mobile, in an attempt to be coy, has tweeted that G2 news is coming soon (G2newscomingsoon) in binary. The taunting tweet comes just one week before HTC is scheduled to hold a media event in London to announce new mobile products. So far, we…...]]> http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/TheBoyGeniusReport/~3/Aei3WCnTVtA/ http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/TheBoyGeniusReport/~3/Aei3WCnTVtA/ 8 September 2010, 5:20 pm
Aysmco is reporting that iOS application downloads on Apple’s iTunes store should overtake the number of song downloads sometime this year. The report is based on figures from the recent September 1 update to the iTunes Music Store and the…...]]> http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/TheBoyGeniusReport/~3/lE2Km7OhOws/ http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/TheBoyGeniusReport/~3/lE2Km7OhOws/ 8 September 2010, 3:24 pm
Almost in unison with Apple releasing iOS 4.1, iOS tinkerer pod2g announced a bootrom exploit that will allow the jailbreaking community access to the innards of the California company’s mobile operating system. The exploit will eventually facilitate the next wave…...]]> http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/TheBoyGeniusReport/~3/dJowx3FSKQI/ http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/TheBoyGeniusReport/~3/dJowx3FSKQI/ 8 September 2010, 2:05 pm
Fresh off of their deal last month with Epix, Netflix has announced a new, long-term agreement with Nu Image/Millennium Films that will bring more first-run content to its streaming library. As the press release explains, “Nu Image and Millennium Films are best…...]]> http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/TheBoyGeniusReport/~3/HDPwoz6sYS8/ http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/TheBoyGeniusReport/~3/HDPwoz6sYS8/ 8 September 2010, 12:18 pm
For those waiting, the time is here. Apple has officially released iOS 4.1 into the wild.

Today, at Google’s search event, the Mountain View company announced a new search service titled Google Instant. Google details that over one billion users use the company’s search service each week. Those billions and billions of users, on average, take nine seconds…...]]> http://feeds.slashgear.com/~r/slashgear/~3/aUzWHfLYEFo/ http://feeds.slashgear.com/~r/slashgear/~3/aUzWHfLYEFo/ 8 September 2010, 3:15 pm
There are plenty of design concepts out there, but it’s not all that often that they get pulled out of the concept stage and put firmly into the retail market. When it comes to the Seiko-branded E Ink “active matrix” watch, it looks like good things do happen to those who wait. It’s been confirmed that the watch is heading to retail shelves later this year. The watch utilizes E Ink, showcased on a electrophoretic display. All of that equals, according to Seiko, a full 1...]]> http://feeds.slashgear.com/~r/slashgear/~3/4UA-kpe2Kdg/ http://feeds.slashgear.com/~r/slashgear/~3/4UA-kpe2Kdg/ 8 September 2010, 3:08 pm
No surprises here: iFixit is tearing down the iPod Touch 4th generation, and they’re having fun the whole way through. As always, the fine folks over there are finding just how you’d go about taking your brand new iPod Touch apart, if ever you’d have to get something done within the case, and felt like doing it yourself. Or, had to do it yourself (for whatever reason). The teardown itself is still happening as of this writing, but there’s already a few interesting things ...]]> http://feeds.slashgear.com/~r/slashgear/~3/15Y1x23HTGY/ http://feeds.slashgear.com/~r/slashgear/~3/15Y1x23HTGY/ 8 September 2010, 2:57 pm
Subcompact form factors are the next big thing, so to speak. Packing in all the great features into a small box has everyone excited — it means that their living room isn’t plagued with huge pieces of technology, making everything look cluttered. The Aspire Revo 3700 looks to help those looking for the smallest boxes packing the latest tech inside. Just announced, the Revo 3700 has plenty to get those looking for a subcompact dual-core processing little beast. The Revo 3700 feature...]]> http://feeds.slashgear.com/~r/slashgear/~3/gsA7nT4NoQM/ http://feeds.slashgear.com/~r/slashgear/~3/gsA7nT4NoQM/ 8 September 2010, 2:44 pm
There was a time when OnStar, and other systems like it, were meant to do one thing: help you in case of an emergency. But apparently the fact that people were paying for a system that, let’s face it, they (hopefully) weren’t using all that often didn’t make sense, and now “GPS and Infotainment” systems are being upgraded to not only function as helping hands, but also useful entertainment items. OnStar is late to the bandwagon, especially compared to other in-car s...]]> http://feeds.slashgear.com/~r/slashgear/~3/9JQxWtHzJRY/ http://feeds.slashgear.com/~r/slashgear/~3/9JQxWtHzJRY/ 8 September 2010, 2:33 pm
Asus has been lucky enough to use the Lamborghini name for a few of their popular gadgets over the years. Dating all the way back to 2008, when their laptop broke cover, and even their ZX1 smart phone made its debut. And, the name and product placement must be working pretty well for the pair of companies, because a brand new member of the lineage has just made its way through the FCC. Please welcome the XW-Lamborghini Wireless mouse into the family, everyone. The mouse is of the wireless lase...]]> http://feeds.slashgear.com/~r/slashgear/~3/xNIZSHP37XI/ http://feeds.slashgear.com/~r/slashgear/~3/xNIZSHP37XI/ 8 September 2010, 2:13 pm
Turnstiles may be one of those things that, if you ever find yourself thinking about it, may seem like a thing of the past. But they’re still out there, doing their thing in train stations and what not all over the globe. But, let’s face it — it’s been a long while since they’ve seen any kind of upgrade. So, if they were to get an upgrade, why not one that utilizes the energy that gets produced every day by people passing through them? Thanks to the VIVA Design Te...]]> http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/UnwiredView/~3/JyW-v8PVg_A/ http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/UnwiredView/~3/JyW-v8PVg_A/ 8 September 2010, 4:53 pm
Rumors indicate that Apple has already begun designing the next-generation iPhone, which I’ll call iPhone 5 from here on. This, of course, makes sense, as the average time from the start of the design process to market in the mobile phone business is 18 months. So even if Apple work faster, they still would need [...]...]]> http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/UnwiredView/~3/toRNG7MEPS0/ http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/UnwiredView/~3/toRNG7MEPS0/ 8 September 2010, 4:19 pm
Qualcomm’s CEO, Paul Jacobs, has confirmed today that the company is working on a 1.5 GHz mobile processor that will power the smartphones and tablets of tomorrow. The chip will be commercially available in the first quarter of 2011. A 1.2 GHz version of the processor is also expected to show up in next year’s [...]...]]> http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/UnwiredView/~3/ETTcAKIZx4g/ http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/UnwiredView/~3/ETTcAKIZx4g/ 8 September 2010, 3:52 pm
The BlackBerry Torch 9800 was supposed to be RIM’s great new entry into the high end smartphone space. With a capacitive touchscreen (a first for the Canadian company) and that trademark BlackBerry keyboard, hidden under a sliding mechanism, surely RIM thought this would be an instant hit with consumers. However, it turns out it wasn’t. [...]...]]> http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/UnwiredView/~3/iiOKyPpoP_w/ http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/UnwiredView/~3/iiOKyPpoP_w/ 8 September 2010, 3:10 pm
Although it’s been more than a month since Rogers announced that it would bring the Samsung Captivate to Canada, the carrier has not launched the smartphone yet. Even more, it’s still not clear when it will launch it. However, Rogers says that customers will be able to pre-order the Captivate “soon”, so it shouldn’t be [...]...]]> http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/UnwiredView/~3/gIWuvtVJtJA/ http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/UnwiredView/~3/gIWuvtVJtJA/ 8 September 2010, 1:56 pm
iPhone 4’s well-known antenna issues may have negatively impacted sales more than Apple would have wished. Piper Jaffray has recently published a survey that deals with this matter. Of the 258 cell phone users interviewed (in Minneapolis, US), 177 were aware of the iPhone 4’s antenna problems. 35 (or about 20%) of those aware of [...]...]]> http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/UnwiredView/~3/hVDJFEw8fSo/ http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/UnwiredView/~3/hVDJFEw8fSo/ 8 September 2010, 12:18 pm
It looks like Vodafone is not the only British mobile carrier that readies the launch of RIM’s BlackBerry Torch 9800. According to a leaked screenshot posted at iBenRowe, O2 UK will also sell the Torch, sometime in early October (a possible delivery date being October 4). No word on pricing at this moment. Vodafone will [...]...]]>
