Nokia and Intel to collaborate on mobile Linux projects

David Meyer | Jun 25, 2009

Intel and Nokia have announced a long-term relationship that will see the development of Intel-powered, Linux-based handheld mobile-computing devices.

The partnership between the chipmaker and handset manufacturer was announced on Tuesday. Under the deal, the companies will collaborate on several open-source mobile Linux software projects, and Intel will license HSPA/3G modem intellectual property from Nokia.

"This Intel and Nokia collaboration unites and focuses many of the brightest computing and communications minds in the world, and will ultimately deliver open and standards-based technologies, which history shows drive rapid innovation, adoption and consumer choice," Anand Chandrasekher, the general manager of Intel's Ultra Mobility Group, said in a statement.

HTC Hero now official

John Chan | Jun 25, 2009

The HTC Hero will come in both brown and white.

At an event held in London, HTC officially announced its latest Android smartphone, the Hero. This device has been talked about quite a bit, with leaks showing not just the physical form factor, but also its custom user interface (UI). We now know that this UI is called HTC Sense, and will be used not just on the Hero but also in upcoming phones from the company.

Specifications of the new HTC include a 3.2-inch HVGA (480 x 320-pixel) display, 7.2Mbps HSDPA connectivity, Wi-Fi, GPS and a 5-megapixel camera. One feature that stands out is the inclusion of a dedicated 3.5mm audio jack for plugging in standard headphones, something not found on many HTC smartphones.

HTC Firestone leaked

Digital renderings of what's supposed to be an upcoming HTC Windows Mobile (WM) device have surfaced. This is the HTC Firestone, a possible successor to the HTC Touch HD. A WM6.5 screenshot is found on the display which apparently measures 3.6 inches diagonally with a resolution of 800 x 480 pixels. The Touch HD has a larger 3.8-inch screen in comparison.

Another interesting specification is the 600MHz Qualcomm processor, which is faster than the 528MHz MSM7200 chip on many other HTC devices today. WM6.5 isn't due for another few months, so we'll just have to wait and see if this Firestone rumor turns out to be accurate.

Charge your iPhone wirelessly

Kent German | Jun 24, 2009

The WildCharger is one of those products that creates a problem that you didn't know you had. Though the product is certainly innovative and it succeeds at charging your cell phone without a wired connection, we never really thought that we needed to do so. What's more, unless you're charging more than one handset at a time, we don't consider it a practical purchase.

Yet, WildCharge (the device's manufacturer) continues to surprise us. In April, it greatly expanded its list of supported phones beyond the now ancient Motorola Razr V3. And on Tuesday, the company expanded that list even more when it announced a charging "skin" for the iPhone.

The skins, which will be available in July, are US$34.99 each. You'll also need to but the WildChager pad (US$79.99), but if you ever wanted a cell phone charger with "wow" factor you can't go wrong.

Apple drops space in 3G S; we go huh!

Damian Koh | Jun 24, 2009

What an S. Only Apple gets away with bad grammar, and now this. Quite frankly, nobody cares. But we're rather put off that we'll now have to clean up all those little spaces in our reviews database.

Gizmodo conjectured on a plausible reason Apple decided to drop the space in 3G S (it's now officially 3GS) and even retroactively made the corrections to its earlier press releases, so unsuspecting fanboys would think they dreamed up the space. This also establishes that the man himself, the other "S", is in the building, and rumors that he's back at work true. After all, who else could mastermind such a last-minute decision?
