EVO 3D
01/05/2011 19:32 par slaytane
Annoncé aux Etats-Unis sur le réseau CDMA de Sprint, le smartphone HTC Evo 3D sera également lancé en France en version GSM et sous le même nom.
Le premier smartphone de HTC doté d'un affichage 3D autostéréoscopique, ne nécessitant pas de lunettes spéciales, le HTC Evo 3D, a été dévoilé il y a quelques semaines aux Etats-Unis chez l'opérateur mobile Sprint Nextel.
Embarquant un écran 4,3" en résolution qHD ( 960 x 540 pixels ), et donc pouvant afficher de la 3D, et doté d'un double APN 5 megapixels au dos permettant de prendre des clichés et de créer de la vidéo 3D, le HTC Evo 3D est un smartphone sous Android 2.3 Gingerbread avec surcouche tactile HTC Sense équipé d'un processeur dual core 1,2 GHz fourni par Qualcomm.
Et si c'est une version CDMA qui a été présentée aux Etats-Unis, HTC France, via Twitter, a indiqué que sa version GSM serait prochainement disponible dans nos contrées. Le terminal conservera la même dénomination HTC Evo 3D.
Prix et date de disponibilité ne sont pas encore connus mais le lancement de la version US est prévue pour l'été. On peut supposer qu'il en sera à peu près de même en Europe.

Inspire 4G
01/05/2011 19:18 par slaytane
The HTC Inspire 4G ($99.99) is a big, powerful and affordably priced Android cell phone for AT&T, and it can stand up well against Apple's iPhone. Comparable in many ways to Verizon's popular Motorola Droid X, this high-quality super-phone is loaded with useful apps and makes a good big-screen theater for videos. The HTC Inspire 4G is AT&T's answer to big-screen phones like the HTC EVO 4G ($199.99-$449.99, 4 stars) on Sprint and the Motorola Droid X ($199.99-$569.99, 4.5 stars) on Verizon. Like with those other two phones, you'll want big hands to manage the huge 4.3-inch screen; the iPhone 4 ($199-$699, 4.5 stars) is better for daintier folks. At 4.8 by 2.7 by .46 inches (HWD) and 5.78 ounces, this isn't a thick phone, but it's big and broad. The Inspire 4G looks classy, with a solid heft and a metal back. There's a power button on top; the 3.5-mm headset jack is on the bottom. One sore spot, though: The battery door is so tough that it took me half an hour to remove it. It's a good thing you won't replace the battery often. The Inspire 4G won't save you from dropped calls. Tested side by side with an iPhone 4, I actually connected fewer calls in a weak signal area than on the iPhone. Oh, well. With decent AT&T signal, though, the Inspire 4G did just fine. Voices sound loud and clear in the earpiece, without scratchiness or distortion. Transmissions sounded clear on the other end, as well, and only sent through a minimum of background noise, even from a noisy area. The speakerphone isn't great; it's on the back, and while it's loud enough to use outdoors, it could be louder. Transmissions made through the speakerphone sounded a bit echoey. The phone paired easily with an Aliph Jawbone Era ($129, 4.5 stars) Bluetooth headset, including triggering the accurate voice dialing. Battery life, at 5 hours 51 minutes of talk time, was fine for a 3G—oh, sorry, 4G—phone. The device connects to the Internet via AT&T's and foreign 3G HSPA and HSPA + 21 networks, and via Wi-Fi. It can be tethered to a laptop with the appropriate service plan, and it also works as a Wi-Fi hotspot. On the Ookla speed test app, I got significantly faster Internet speeds than on an iPhone 4, but not what I'd consider "4G." I got an average of 1.5Mbps down on the Inspire and 1Mbps down on the iPhone. That makes for a faster Internet experience on the Inspire, but I'd want to see numbers like 5Mbps before I start trumpeting 4G to the masses. Software and Bloatware HTC and AT&T have added a lot of software to this phone. Is it bloatware? You can't delete any of it, but a lot of it is useful. AT&T provides the Asphalt 5 driving game, FamilyMap geo-fencing, a 2D barcode scanner, AT&T Navigator for GPS directions, Blockbuster for movie downloads, the Kobo e-reader, a Live TV streaming app from MobiTV, an account management app and a yellow pages app. HTC goes even further: a blocked-caller list, DLNA streaming app, flashlight, FM radio, "Footprints" geo-tagging app, a social networking app, what appear to be three different ways to search for stuff, and—get this—HTC's own widget store and app store, because HTC doesn't like the user interface of Google's App Market. (Yes, you get the Market too.) Top that with the fact that HTC has rewritten almost every core Android app to improve its functionality. There's a dedicated video player now. Exchange e-mail lets you keep a list of priority senders and filter for their mail, which I love. The photo gallery has Facebook and Flickr hooks. Twitter is integrated into the OS. The Inspire 4G also comes with free access to HTCSense.com, a Web-based service which lets you forward calls and messages from your phone, locate your phone by making it ring, and lock or erase your phone. In practice I found HTCSense.com to be buggy; the Flash-based Web site had some trouble loading, and the location feature took a while to kick in. This is a good set of features to have, though, and it isn't available on most Android phones. All of this custom software can all be a little overwhelming, and it's sure to peeve Android purists. But a lot of this stuff is both nice-looking and useful. HTC has won awards for their elegant Android apps, and their e-mail and contact book, for instance, look better than Samsung's and Google's. A few of the built-in apps didn't work. The "HTC Hub" widget store and AT&T's Live TV feature won't be fully operational until Feb. 13, the carrier said. While the phone has a mode to sync locally with Outlook using HTC's free HTC Sync software, the current version of the software doesn't support this phone. If you need local USB contact and calendar syncing, double check before buying. And yes, this is an AT&T phone, so you're forbidden from downloading non-market apps.
Specifications
More
The Inspire 4G is an Android 2.2.1 phone with a second-generation Qualcomm Snapdragon QSD8255 1Ghz processor. Performance is impeccable; the phone feels fast, and it performed very well on our range of Android benchmarks. The Inspire benchmarked faster than any other single-core phone we've tried so far, although I expect phones based on the dual-core Nvidia Tegra 2 will scorch it.

ThunderBolt 4G
01/05/2011 19:09 par slaytane
Avec le HTC Thunderbolt, le fabricant prouve qu'il est capable d'être à la pointe des technologies mobiles, à la fois sur le WiMAX et sur LTE.
Peter Chou, CEO de HTC, avait promis qu'il y aurait des smartphones LTE pour le réseau de Verizon Wireless en 2011. Le smartphone HTC Thunderbolt en est une première illustration, permettant au fabricant d'être présent à la fois sur le WiMAX et sur LTE, deux technologies à très haut débit mobile.
Le terminal avait fait l'objet de multiples fuites préalables, certaines semblant même avoir été quasiment orchestrées quelques jours avant le salon CES 2011, histoire de créer un peu de buzz. Toujours est-il que le smartphone est maintenant officialisé et rejoint la cohorte des terminaux LTE qui seront proposés par l'opérateur Verizon Wireless pour son réseau LTE, lancé en décembre 2010.
Le HTC Thunderbolt est un smartphone sous Androird 2.2 et avec surcouche HTC Sense (il devrait pouvoir être mis à jour vers Android 2.3 Gingerbread ultérieurement ) doté d'un affichage TFT LCD 4,3" de résolution 800 x 480 pixels.
Taillé pour la consommation de contenus en mobilité
En façade, on trouve un APN 1,3 megapixel pour la visioconférence ( on notera que l'appareil embarque d'office Skype Mobile, qui a été spécialement intégré pour une expérience utilisateur optimale ) tandis que c'est un APN 8 megapixels avec autofocus , double flash LED et enregistrement vidéo 720p qui prend place au dos ( qui possède aussi la petite béquille pour caler l'appareil et y visionner des vidéos, avec son Dolby Surround ).
Le HTC Thunderbolt embarque un processeur d'applications Qualcomm SnapDragon MSM8655 1 GHZ associé au modem cellulaire LTE Qualcomm MDM9600, avec 768 Mo de RAM et 8 Go d'espace de stockage interne que l'on pourra étendre grâce au port pour carte mémoire microSDHC.
Le smartphone embarque les connectivités sans fil WiFi ( support DLNA et hotspot mobile ), Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR, Radio FM et A-GPS. Il utilise un système de double micro pour améliorer la qualité des appels voix en réduisant l'intensité du bruit ambiant et est doté de nombreux capteurs : accéléromètre, capteur de proximité, capteur de luminosité...
Destiné aux réseaux de Verizon Wireless, il est donc compatible CDMA2000 et LTE. Il n'y a pas encore d'informations sur son prix et sa disponibilité.

EVO Shift 4G
01/05/2011 19:05 par slaytane
Son annonce était attendue pour le salon CES 2011 mais c'est avec un peu d'avance que l'opérateur Sprint annonce le smartphone HTC Shift EVO 4G compatible WiMAX, cette fois doté d'un clavier coulissant.
HTC s'était déjà fait remarquer en lançant le premier smartphone WiMAX aux Etats-Unis pour le réseau Clearwire de l'opérateur Sprint Nextel, avec le HTC EVO 4G. Alors que l'opérateur concurrent Verizon vient de lancer son réseau mobile LTE ( qui devrait aussi avoir son smartphone HTC compatible, annoncé au CES 2011 ), une réponse était attendue de la part de Sprint.
Elle prend la forme du HTC Shift EVO 4G, un smartphone Android 2.2 doté d'un affichage tactile 3,6", 800 x 480 pixels plus petit que le HTC EVO 4G, mais aussi d'un clavier complet coulissant. Le terminal est toujours fortement orienté vers le divertissement multimédia et la consommation de data en haut débit mobile et embarque un processeur Qualcomm MSM7630 800 MHz, avec 512 Mo de RAM, 2 Go de ROM et un port pour cartes microSDHC.
Caractéristiques
On trouvera l'ensemble des connectivités sans fil WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS et Radio FM, le support des réseaux cellulaires CDMA2000 et WiMAX de Sprint. Le smartphone HTC Shift EVO 4G profite également de la dernière version de l'interface HTC Sense et des applications mobiles Google embarquées.
Au dos, on trouve un APN 5 megapixels capable d'enregistrement vidéo 720p. L'opérateur y a aussi ajouté ses propres applications mobiles comme Sprint TV et Nascar Sprint Cup Mobile mais il sera possible de le personnaliser par les applications de l' Android Market.
Le HTC Shift EVO 4G offre une autonomie de 6 heures en communications grâce à sa batterie 1500 mAh et sera commercialisé au prix de 149,99 dollars avec un abonnement, avec une disponibilité prévue pour le 9 janvier prochain.
MeeGo OS Concept for Tablets Beats the Current State of the Platform
24/03/2011 01:08 par slaytane
Sadly, the alliance between Microsoft and Nokia means that we won’t be seeing MeeGo so soon, so we’re left with concepts taking over. Jozef Kocúr created an interesting MeeGo OS concept for Nokia tablets, that you can see below. This UI borrows a bit from webOS, Maemo and the previous versions of MeeGo showcased at trade shows.
It’s based on side scrolling and columns, plus a main section of features (Now, Applications, Board, Social, Media, System). If this interface becomes real, expect it to make Windows Phone 7 and Honeycomb forgotten and I’ve used these examples, because I consider them to be the most advanced at the moment, when it comes to design.
iOS is also pretty cool, but Apple has to come up with some new, or it will be left behind by Android. MeeGo looks excellent, especially in Jozef Kocúr’s design, so it would be a pity for Nokia to abandon it. Let’s hope that this doesn’t happen.

Pix-L Shares the Bed With You

Hats off for another green gadget, this time only coloured in green, as there’s nothing eco-friendly about it, as far as we know. Meet the Pix-L UMPC concept, designed by Jean Hong, who tries to make the average PC more friendly and portable, by putting it to bed with the user.
In case you wanted a device that you can use while laying on the bed or on your belly, here it is! Not only it allows you to browse the Internet and get a bedtime taste of Microsoft’s software, but it also features an alarm clock and a detachable base. This allows the user to turn Pix-L upside down, for better use in the position he’s comfortable with.

Windows Mobile UMPC/Phone, Design of the Not Too Distant Future
08/03/2011 04:22 par slaytane
Edward Brown introduces the devices he designs as “phones for the immediate and not too distant future”. One of them is the Windows Mobile handset below, in fact an ultra slim Ultra Mobile PC/phone. It’s got a scratch resistant polymer and stainless steel casing and uses a touch based interface.
The list of features of this concept phone also includes a high resolution OLED screen and high resolution video and stills cameras. I wonder what chipset is running the show behind the case… And what about the internal memory? We’ll let the mystery be, at least till there’s a trace of branding on the UMPC/phone’s front side.

Nokia 31 Touchscreen Phone is Hot
08/03/2011 04:10 par slaytane
Clifford Charles created the Nokia 31 concept phone, the touchscreen smartphone you can see below. It comes with a 5 megapixel camera with flash, a 3.5 inch touch display and easy to use interface. The Nokia 31 is a device with a modern look, very straight and thin.
It’s got voice recognition and a beautiful aluminum chassis, that’s already classic for the Nokia N Series devices. What’s interesting is the facade of the device, placed under the screen and looking like a touch surface with commands displayed. Clifford Charles’ design is innovative and could be used on a future Windows Phone 7 Nokia unit, if Microsoft is open-minded enough.

iPhone Nano Mockups We Go Thin and Go Purple
02/03/2011 02:34 par slaytane
Have no idea what are the specs behind the iPhone nano mockup created by Nicholas, one of the commenters on the original 9to5mac.com article talking about such concepts. However, we’re loving the purple theme and how slim the device manages to be. It appears it was designed months ago, before the iPhone nano was even a dream.
This handset is slim enough to look fragile and its screen is once again edge to edge, like the one of the previous concept… Is this edge to edge thing ever going to be implemented?
