Sprint Gets Its First Windows 7

By Suzanne Choney
Sprint Thursday introduced its first phone that uses Windows Phone 7, the HTC Arrive, leaving Verizon Wireless now as the only major U.S. carrier without a phone using Microsoft's new mobile operating system. (Verizon says it plans to add Windows Phone 7 to its lineup later this year.)
HTC's device is also the first Windows Phone 7 that uses the CDMA technology employed by both Sprint and Verizon; AT&T and T-Mobile use another standard known as GSM.
The Arrive arrives at Sprint March 20 for $199.99 with a new two-year service agreement or "eligible upgrade and after a $100 mail-in rebate (taxes not included)," according to the carrier.

The Top 40 Android apps

OK, so the Android Market is more akin to Lidl or Asda than the iPhone's enormous, indulgent Selfridges-at-Christmas time approach, but the open source nature of Google's OS means there are plenty of apps for Android to be found.

1. Seesmic
There are many Twitter apps on Android - and Twitter itself shook up the scene with the launch of its own-brand app recently - but we're sticking with Seesmic. Offering support for multiple accounts, a home page widget showing latest tweets and an incredibly slick and professional design, it's one of the finest examples of app development out there today.

2. Facebook for Android
Facebook for Android is lacking in features compared to Facebook itself, but a recent update added Inbox support to the Android app, finally allowing its users to communicate in almost real-time. The app's fast and stable, with a simplicity that reminds you of the old days when using Facebook used to be bearable.

3. ASTRO File Manager
ASTRO is nothing more than a Windows-style file explorer, but if you're into tinkering and directly installing Android APK files yourself, it's essential to stick something like this on your phone. Makes your phone feel like a computer, and makes you feel like you're in charge of it.
UPDATE: ASTRO still exists as a free ad-supported app, but you'll have to pay for the full version without ads. Our new favourite file explorer app is listed below.

Blackberry Playbook 3D Concept Demo

There has been so much hype over the upcoming BlackBerry PlayBook I truly hope it becomes the success RIM wants it to be. Rumours are still pointing to a release over the next couple months at a $500 price point. During the Mobile World Congress last week in Barcelona there was a few apps that were demonstrated that made the PlayBook a bit more exciting – such as the Scrapbook and WebWorks. These were designed by a company that RIM recently purchased called The Astonishing Tribe (TAT). Another video has surfaced that shows it’s 3D capabilities – not capturing just showing. This was created by TAT and they stated that the “BlackBerry PlayBook tablet outputting stereoscopic 3D visuals, demonstrates many of the hardware features of the tablet: 1080P HD visual, micro HDMI output, and multi-touch support”. It’s a cool video and I’m sure any other tablets can preform this action but makes the PlayBook look a bit cooler to have.

Who Has the Greenest CellPhones? Nokia, Samsung Take Top Spots.

Nokia dominates a new list of greenest cellphones, followed by Samsung, Motorola and Palm products. Apple's popular iPhone scored in the lower half.
"Our highest-rated cellphones have energy-efficient chargers and are made of environmentally preferable materials," says a scorecard of 596 cellphones from 16 manufacturers by Good Guide, a company that rates products for their health, environmental and social impacts. The ranking says the top scorers are made by companies "implementing green production practices and takeback recycling programs."
Nokia makes 26 of the top 30 models, each scoring 7.7 or 7.6 out of a possible 10 points. Its C6 cellphone earned top honors overall. Samsung's Blue Earth phone came in 27th, followed by Motorola's Citrus and Ecomoto phones and by Palm's Pixi Smartphone.

Sony Finally Unveils Xperia Play-The PlayStation Phone!

After months of rumors, a slew of leaks, and one creepy commercial, Sony Ericsson's worst-kept secret is now a reality. On Sunday, the day before Mobile World Congress officially opens, Sony Ericsson finally took the wraps off of the Xperia Play.
Long billed as the "PlayStation phone," the Xperia Play is very much the handset that Sony Ericsson highlighted last week during the Super Bowl. In the United States, it will arrive as a Verizon Wireless exclusive later this spring.
The 4-inch (854x480-pixel resolution; 16.7 million colors) display is up to usual Sony Ericsson standards. Colors were bright and vibrant, and graphics showed up well. From our brief hands-on experience, the display also appears to do the gaming features justice. Below the display are four physical controls for the usual Android functions (back, menu, home, and search). On the left spine you'll find a 3.5mm headset jack and a Micro-USB port; the power control, a volume rocker, and shoulder gaming controls sit on the right spine.

Of course, what the phone can do is the real story. At the top level, the Xperia Play runs on Gingerbread (Android 2.3), so you'll get the new text selection tool, a Wi-Fi hot spot, and new options in the Settings menu. And like on the Xperia Arc, you can pinch your fingers to see all five home screens on one page. As we said when the earlier handset made its debut at CES, it's very much like HTC's Leap feature.
Slide up the face to reveal the gaming controls, which are very similar to those on a Sony PlayStation DualShock controller. Instead of joysticks, however, you'll find two round touch pads. And as mentioned, the handset has only one set of shoulder buttons.
Game downloads will be available from an online Sony Ericsson store. Once you purchase a game, individual icons for each title will sit in the phone's main menu.
The Xperia Play also has a 5.1-megapixel camera with autofocus, a flash, image stabilization, geotagging, and video recording. Other features include Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, a personal organizer, a speakerphone, Assisted-GPS, messaging and e-mail, 400MB of internal memory, Sony Ericsson's Timescape interface, a music player, and a full HTML browser with Flash Lite. It also supports the usual Google apps, and you can download additional titles from the Android Market.

Test Drive the LG Dlite

Though cell phones come in all shapes, sizes and colors, few handsets are so unique that they instantly stand out in the mobile crowd. Every once in a while, however, a new model struts onto the catwalk with design elements that truly are different. Here is one mobile phone that will turn heads. 

 The LG Dlite for T-Mobile is a cute flip phone that adds style and tech to your everyday life. Talk, text, and browse the web at blazing-fast 3G speeds on your 2.8" internal display, one of the largest screens for flip phones. The external display features fun lighting effects you personalize so you know who is calling or texting as soon as your Dlite lights up. Snap pictures or record video with Dlite's 2 megapixel camera and send to your friends via multimedia messaging or upload them directly to your favorite social networking website with Social Buzz. Dlite comes in two fun and bright colors, blue and bubblegum pink. This Spring Season, watch your budget and sport a fashionable smartphone-like phone at a non-smartphone price. We have it here for free. www.TaoWireless.com

The good: The LG dLite is a stylish and fashionable phone for the ultra-feminine. It has a unique hidden LED matrix display, an edge-lit LED surface, a 2.0-megapixel camera, a music player, 3G support, and fantastic call quality. 

The bad: The LG dLite is almost a half-inch too long. Its keypad feels a little too smooth and flush to the surface, and the keys on the side are very skinny. It does not have a 3.5mm headset jack, and taking photos with it can feel a little awkward.

The bottom line: With its decent midrange feature set and eye-catching design, the LG dLite is a wonderfully phone that would appeal to the young, or just the young at heart.

A Laptop That Turns Into a Phone?

One of the biggest stories this year at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas was Motorola. The company owned the show with the Xoom tablet -- now is poised for a splash with the Atrix 4G phone, set to come out in March.

On the surface the Motorola Atrix 4G from AT&T looks like a normal Android phone. It’s not. Under the hood, it's now the fastest Android phone on the market, and it has a fingerprint scanner on the back that allows you to securely lock your phone. It’s not flawless, but it’s neat.

One of the things you’ll notice right away is how blazingly fast it is. Moving through the apps in this new Android phone is beautiful.

So big deal, you're saying. It’s just another Android phone, right? Ah, but that’s where the intrigue begins: The Atrix is so much more than just a phone. It becomes your personal computer. Take it to work, pair it with a special Motorola dock and it acts just like a laptop.

Once connected to the dock, a mobile view of your phone launches on your laptop screen. Want to make a phone call? You can do that right from the desktop. It dials out automatically using the speaker from the phone.

HTC Introduces the new ChaCha and Salsa

HTC showed off its ChaCha and Salsa "social phones," equipped with Facebook buttons, at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain, on Tuesday.
The Facebook buttons lead users directly to the popular social networking website or post content to it automatically, depending on what is being done on the phone at the time.
The new handsets are among the first of what is expected to be dozens of such Faceook-integrated phones to come out this year.
The ChaCha and Salsa arrive after weeks of rumors that Facebook would release it's own smart phones.
Facebook co-founder Mark Zuckerberg again denied the rumors of a Facebook-branded phone, but he said greater integration and more Facebook buttons were on the way.
Both the ChaCha and Salsa run on Google's Android operating system. The ChaCha features a 2.6-inch display and a full physical keyboard, while the Salsa has a 3.4-inch touch screen display.
HTC said the ChaCha and Salsa were developed with Facebook in an effort by the handset maker to turn more of Facebook's 500 million active users worldwide into HTC customers.
The Facebook button on the ChaCha and Salsa is "context-aware, gently pulsing with light whenever there is an opportunity to share content or updates through Facebook," HTC said in a statement.
"With a single press of the button, you can update your status, upload a photo, share a website, post what song you are listening to, 'check in' to a location and more."
When a user snaps a photo, one press of the button uploads it to his or her Facebook page. If a user is listening to a song and presses the Facebook button, the song is automatically identified by the phone and shared on Facebook.
Facebook messages and conversations also appear in the ChaCha's and Salsa's text message and e-mail in boxes.
"We have worked closely with HTC for several years on bringing Facebook to their devices and HTC ChaCha and HTC Salsa are the next stage," said Henri Moissinac, head of mobile business for Facebook. "HTC has brought Facebook to these two new devices in an innovative way enabling people to connect and share easily whenever they want, wherever they are."
Both phones are slated to release in the second quarter of the year. HTC did not offer specifics on price. Courtesy of: L.A. Times

The New HTC Flyer

If you love HTC, you are going to love HTC even more.

HTC Corp. debuted a tablet called the HTC Flyer on Tuesday at the Mobile World Congress show in Barcelona.
The tablet is designed to compete with Apple’s iPad and can be used with a finger or a battery-powered pen/stylus.
The Flyer will have a 7-inch screen, which makes it smaller than the iPad.
It goes on sale in the second quarter. No price was announced.
HTC also says that two new AT&T network phones will feature a Facebook button, allowing users to upload photos or share links on the fly.
