Posted: 05 Oct 2010 09:10 PM PDT


What do you know about ZTE? All you know is that they make some good entry level device, and also make network and telecommunication stuff like modems.Well, they can also make some high end devices because BGR is saying that ZTE is planning to launch some high end Android devices on Verizon Wireless, and it’s rumored that they will feature a 1.3 GHz processor. No words on the specs or other details, but still it’s a good news that Verizon is choosing ZTE high end devices. ZTE is actually trying to change their face, and they want the world to know ZTE as the one of the best mobile phone manufacturers, just like Motorola and HTC. So anyone looking forward to ZTE high-end devices?

Posted: 05 Oct 2010 06:34 PM PDT


Motorola and Verizon are a very good partners, and they have launched a lot of devices together, and today they are going to add 2 more device in their list, which will make their relationship more stronger. Today, Verizon and Motorola officially announced the Motorola Droid Pro, and Motorola Citrus. We heard about the Droid Pro a few times, and I was actually expecting that the device will be better than the Droid X, but Droid X is still better. Motorola Droid Pro comes with Android 2.2, 1GHz processor, a 5 megapixel camera, portrait QWERTY keyboard, 3.1-Inch display, and a dual-band CDMA/GSM chip for global roaming. We will see the Droid Pro in the first week of November. Motorola Citrus is an entry level Android Device, and this phone is not a part of Droid Family. All we know is that the device is running Android 2.1 with MotoBlur. You can expect a cheap price tag on the Citrus, like $100 or $150. Engadget already got their hands on the Droid pro, so check out the photos after the break.

Samsung Transform user guide leaked, a mid-range Android powered phone

Posted: 05 Oct 2010 04:20 PM PDT


A few days ago, we saw the first shot of the Samsung Transform. We heard that the Samsung Transform is a keyboard-less version of EPIC 4G (read our review), but it was wrong. The User Guide of the Samsung Transform has been leaked which is showing that the Transform comes with a QWERTY keyboard, so what I think is that the Samsung Transform is an affordable version of EPIC 4G, and it doesn’t comes with 4G, that could be possible. As we can see in the image above, the Samsung Transform is running Android 2.2 without TouchWiz, which means that we will see Stock Android UI on the Transform. The phone features a 3-megapixel camera, and a front facing too, and it’s hard to expect a front-facing camera on a mid-range phone, but you have it on Transform. Want to know more about the Transform?, then check out the PDF File.

Corning Says Samsung Galaxy Tab features Gorilla Glass Display

Posted: 05 Oct 2010 06:23 AM PDT


Corning says that they have been supplying Gorilla Glass for the screen of New Samsung Galaxy Tab. Samsung Galaxy Tab features a seven-inch portable screen, video calling, full-web browsing functions, and is powered by Android 2.2. The display and design of the Galaxy Tab is enabled by using Corning Gorilla glass as a cover glass.

Corning Gorilla glass is currently designed into more than 225 mobile devices, and is an appealing solution for the emerging smart media device environment due to its scratch and damage resistance. Studies show that the portable computer market is projected to reach annual unit sales of more than 354 million by 2014. Emerging form factors such as slates, mobile internet devices and other smart media devices are projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 40 percent over the same period and newer form factors will comprise up to 30 percent of the market's overall volume. Most importantly, studies estimate that more than 90 percent of newer form factors will utilize a touch interface.

The Galaxy Tab features a seven-inch portable screen, video calling, full-web browsing functions, and is powered by Android 2.2.

Fujitsu at CEATEC 2010

Posted: 05 Oct 2010 06:07 AM PDT


This is a dual-touchscreen prototype phone that Fujitsu unveiled at CEATEC 2010.

It is a design concept. A clamshell phone with two-touchscreens instead of one touchscreen and a keypad.The phone flips open both vertically and horizontally.

The design and concept is very interesting and the phone is pretty well built. The phone looks very futuristic like from a Sci-Fi movie.

The only problem is that it is meant only for the Japanese market and that it runs on their own primitive OS. Android would have been great even though it would be very tough to embed it.

The two screens would make it a great experience for web browsing as well as movie viewing.
