Rumor: Garmin-ASUS nuvifone G60 to run $300?

Posted under Editorials on Sunday, 27 September 2009 by john

Filed under: Handsets, ASUS, Others While several shipping dates have come and gone, we’re still hopeful of seeing Garmin’s nuvifone in the flesh and on the street at some point in the future. If you’ve forgotten (and nobody would really blame you), the HSDPA, quad-band handset will boast GPS (of course), WiFi, Bluetooth, plus a full browser. The G60’s been available in Asia for some time now, and while a confirmed US launch has been much anticipated, no pricing has ever been announced.

AT&T, Google trade barbs over Google Voice while FCC listens in

Posted under Editorials on Saturday, 26 September 2009 by john

Filed under: Software, ATT AT&T filed a scathing letter with the FCC earlier today complaining that Google’s exhibiting a blatant double standard with Google Voice by blocking customers’ access to numbers hosted by carriers that charge higher interconnect fees — something that’s specifically forbidden for traditional telephone carriers under so-called common carrier laws. The argument essentially revolves around the fact that Google’s move helps it compete unfairly against AT&T and others by arbitrarily blocking calls to numbers that’d cost it too much to connect, which AT&T says puts Google in an “intellectual contradiction” given its “noisome trumpeting” (ouch!) of support for net neutrality. It is pretty interesting that Google wants a free, open internet with the left hand while it’s blocking certain telephone calls with the other, but Mountain View wasted no time in responding to the communication, posting an quick blog piece where it says there are “many significant differences” that should exempt it from common carrier legislation (some sound reasonable, though the argument that “Google Voice is currently invitation-only, serving a limited number of users” makes us think they’re digging pretty deep to come up with reasons they shouldn’t have to pony up the cash to get these calls connected)

Posted under Editorials on Thursday, 24 September 2009 by admin

Filed under: Handsets, Software, Motorola, T-Mobile, GSM, EDGE, HSDPA, Android October 19th may be under a month away, but that’s still an eternity in “waiting years.” Thankfully, Motorola has posted up a handy guide that spells out exactly what kind of pre-loaded software comes with the CLIQ, and we’ve got to say — the list is fairly impressive. For starters, users will get access to LastFM, an array of Google features, Yahoo! Mail (funny, real funny), Digg, Mint, Facebook, Twitter, Travel Channel, MTV and Amazon’s MP3 Store. On top of all that, Moto’s throwing in QuickOffice — a piece that demands $19.99 on the iPhone — as well as TeleNav Navigator, which has also found itself on a few other Android-based smartphones over the centuries
