Nokia N82-1, a cheaper N82 for the asian market?

This image appeared on FCC a few days ago and is believed to be another N82 model, perhaps a cheaper model for the Asian market. It’s typed RM-313 which in my book corresponds to Nokia N82-1 (and the ‘normal’ N82 is classified RM-314, N82-5).

First glimpse of the Sony Ericsson P5i?

Icaka at Esato’s forums started a real discussion by posting the image on a photshopped Sony Ericsson P5i. Apparently Sony Ericsson’s new superphone, the rumored P5i is going over some remake and will go public in Q2 2008, somewhere around May or June.

This phone is supposed to be amazing:

• 2.8 inch VGA(!) display
• integrated GPS
• WiFi
• 5 megapixel camera with autofocus (what no optic zoom?!)
• HSUPA
• 128MB RAM
• Slider form factor

First peeks at Google’s new Android platform

Sergey Brin and Steve Horowitz discuss the availability of the SDK, that it will be open source in the future, and demo applications on the Android platform.

I’ve found some more information on Google’s Android. Previously I reported on the Open Handset Alliance (OHA) but now we’re starting to get some real life examples on what this platform can do. Much of the focus seems to be open source development by the community, Google wants us - the users - to develop the software and functionality we want and make it available for everyone. They’ve even put aside $10 000 000 which they’re giving away to the best ideas. This is of course a smart move, allowing their platform to grow both in functionality as well as becoming popular in the developer community - and hopefully with consumers in the end.

Bruce Leak and Timo Bruck from SkyPop demo a couple of their new applications for Android.

Some of you Symbian fans might get alarmed by these news. Well, don’t be. [Read more]
