Motorola’s Android-powered iDEN device to be called i1?

Posted on the March 6th, 2010 under Gadgets by Administrator

Alright, pardon our conjecture here, but we think we’re on to something. A Motorola just flew through FCC certification with ID IHDP56KV1 and model name “i1″ featuring iDEN plus 2.1 and — in other words, this’ll almost certainly be coming to Sprint Direct Connect. Remember that rumored Opus One with for iDEN? Yeah, well, “i1″ is a pretty notable, stand-out model name if you ask us — and it’s not every day that you see an iDEN device with , suggesting this’ll be a smartphone. Do a little hand-waving and liberal dot-connecting and you have a reasonable assumption that the Opus One will be coming to market as the i1 — and with FCC certification under their belt, Moto might introduce it sooner rather than later. CTIA later this month, perhaps?

Bluetooth 4.0 devices to make the scene later this year

Posted on the March 6th, 2010 under Gadgets by Administrator

We were glad to see Bluetooth low energy actually added to the 4.0 spec, but of course the question remained: when are we going to get our hands on it? By Q4 this year, apparently — at least according to the SIG. But don’t expect any dramatic changes in battery life for most of your gadgets: while the low energy spec introduces connectivity to a host of lower-power devices that have in the past relied on proprietary (such as watches, pedometers, and cats), your traditional devices, such as phones and laptops, will consume roughly the same amount of power. Indeed, the low energy spec is merely throwing smaller devices (with smaller amounts of data to transfer) in to the mix: if you want Trans-Siberian Orchestra to sound as glorious as ever on your headphones, you’ll need to push as much data (and hence draw as much power) with version 4 as you would with version 3. If you’ve ever heard “A Mad Russian’s Christmas,” you’d know what we’re talking about.

Nokia C5 supports dual band WCDMA 900/2100 and quad-band GSM/EDGE networks. It is available in White and Warm Grey and will be released in Q2 2010 globally in Europe, Eurasia, SEAP, China and MEA.

Nokia also announced its new naming scheme:

Nokia naming conventions

C5GLOBAL – This morning’s announcement of the Nokia C5 completes what some of you may have picked up on over the last few months – a shift in Nokia’s device naming convention. There are now four series of devices – Nokia Cseries, Xseries, Eseries and Nseries. Whilst the latter two have been around for a while, and Xseries has been around since last year’s Nokia World, the latest addition of Cseries rounds off the complete set. What’s more, within each series of devices, we’re seeing a new range of numbers, from 1 to 9, each signifying the range of functionality on offer, and the approximate prices of the devices – 1 being the lowest and 9 being the highest.

Today’s announcement of the Nokia C5 joins its similarly named cousins of the Nokia X3 and Nokia X6, both of which were announced at Nokia World last year. As yet, we haven’t seen a similarly named E or N series device and of course, we won’t be commenting on when either of those might be happening.

This new naming convention is designed to make things easier for users, so they can quickly and easily work out where a device sits within the series and beyond that have a clearer idea of what each series does. Nseries remains the flagship and most advanced range of products. Xseries comes next and focuses on social entertainment. Eseries remains focussed on productivity and business whilst Cseries represents the core range of products.

Work on the new naming convention started way back in 2008, when extensive consumer research was done around the subject. The results of this research culminated in a new naming convention being created and first introduced late last year. Let us know what you think in the comments below.

Review of the Adesso SlimTouch Pro

Posted on the March 5th, 2010 under Gadgets by Administrator

The last Adesso I reviewed was the WKB-4000BB, and it was a -sized for syncing with a PC, , or even mobile device.

I just had a chance to try out the WKB-4200UB, which is a regular-sized that isn’t really that different from the former model, really. Then again, I’ve reviewed many keyboards, and there isn’t much to distinguish one from the other.

I will say that this model of does have the advantage of having a “power-off” button, something that is surprisingly a new feature from the Adesso keyboards. I suppose that would make it the king of the Adesso keyboards, and there are more features after the jump.

The dongle has a connection with 2.4 GHz RF Smartlink with 12 Auto-Changeable channels, and it linked with my computer right away. Turning the power on and off caused no delay in the connection, and the works instantly, provided you have the 2 AA batteries to power it.

The Slimtouch Pro has a trackpad with two buttons, as well as hotkeys (Home, Scroll Up, Scroll Down, E-mail, Forward, and Back) and Multimedia hotkeys (Play/Pause, Stop, Previous Track, Next Track, Volume Up, Volume Down, and Mute). There are also three PC hotkeys of My Computer, Search, and Sleep.

You should be able to purchase the Adesso WKB-4200UB Wirless SlimTouch Pro on the Adesso shop site for $119.99.
