KDDI’s ‘smARt’ television viewing concept links phones to consumerism at long last
October 8, 2010 No Comment
Say you’re watching a cooking show on television and you see some ketchup. Tasty, right? Salivating? Need some ketchup right this second ? Look no further than KDDI’s “smARt” television viewing concept, which uses your phone as a tool to get more information on stuff you’re seeing on the boob tube in real time. Using an Android-powered Sharp IS01 to demonstrate, KDDI’s crack team of presenters showed some delicious-looking food on screen then captured it with the phone’s camera, which ultimately resulted in being redirected to a site where you could purchase a bottle of Hunt’s for

The latest thrilling installment in BlackBerry’s Middle East saga has turned out not to be so thrilling after all. Having set an October 11 deadline for RIM to comply with its “telecommunications regulatory framework,” the United Arab Emirates is today reporting that the BlackBerry maker has managed to make the necessary changes with plenty of time to spare. Consequently, there’ll be no state-ordained curtailing of email, web, or BBM services within the UAE, which mirrors similar agreements that BlackBerry has managed to finagle with India and Saudi Arabia . Of course, the grand purpose of the UAE’s ultimatum was for RIM to allow the state access to encrypted messaging communications, and while the current announcement is pointedly missing details on what’s been done to appease the Dubai decision makers, we can’t imagine them giving up the fight without RIM making some type of concession. And the shady, undisclosed concessions happen to be our least favorite kind. UAE says BlackBerry is now compliant with regulations, free to rock on originally appeared on Engadget on Fri, 08 Oct 2010 03:53:00 EDT. Please see our terms for use of feeds . Permalink

Who’d have thought that adding extra grunt under the hood, a glasses-free 3D display up top, a wireless ” tag mode ,” and automatic wireless updates to the 3DS would serve to degrade battery life? Certainly not our naive souls. The same Q&A that informed us about Nintendo’s Spot Pass plans for the 3DS has been found to also contain some commentary on battery endurance from Satoru Iwata himself. The company chief says “it is inevitable that Nintendo 3DS will be a device which requires more frequent recharging than Nintendo DS” and notes that as a major reason why a charging cradle will be bundled into the new console’s retail package . With tongue firmly wedged in cheek, Iwata suggests that perhaps Nintendo ought to advise users to deposit the 3DS into its cradle as soon as they get home, but the overall point is as clear as it is obvious: your more powerful handheld will require more power. Shocker! Nintendo 3DS will have shorter battery life than DS originally appeared on Engadget on Fri, 08 Oct 2010 03:39:00 EDT. Please see our terms for use of feeds . Permalink

We’re not going to make any apologies. So long as Sony Ericsson continues to pretend like Android 2.x doesn’t exist and keeps kicking out new devices running Android 1.6, we’ll keep docking it points like the meanest of Russian judges. The 3-inch X8 is set to be Sony Ericsson’s most affordable Android handset — we were told it’ll cost south of $300 unlocked — to date, but then you get your money’s worth with a 600MHz processing core and a 3.2 megapixel fixed focus camera. Oh, even better news is that the X8 will get updated to Android 2.1 “a little later” than SE’s X10 line. If you want to avoid all this Android upgrade drama (and save a few more pennies), Sony Ericsson is also starting to ship out its no-frills Cedar candybar as well — perfect if you just want your phone to act like a phone and little more.
