The design, which cosmetically resembles the publicly displayed Lenovo system, runs on a comparatively fast 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor and has been shown running Android, suggesting Google's OS is at least a candidate for the system. Previously, it had ... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/11/26/qualcomm.demo.may.show.lenovo.android.pc/ Thu, 26 Nov 2009 17:10:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/11/25/inbrics.shows.arm.cortex.mid.with.android.os/ <img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/0911/inbricsmid.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Korea's Inbrics is showing off an Android-powered portable device that slides horizontally open to reveal a QWERTY keyboard. Apart from a few specs, the company is being tight-lipped about the device's functionality. What is known is that it will feature an AMOLED touchscreen display and be powered by an 800MHz ARM Cortex A8 processor.... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/11/25/inbrics.shows.arm.cortex.mid.with.android.os/ Wed, 25 Nov 2009 21:25:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/11/25/lg.bringing.amudsen.android.phone.to.china/ <img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/0911/lgamundsenin.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />LG on Wednesday announced it will soon release a new Android phone exclusively sold through China Mobile, the GW880.

The Android phone maker passed Apple one week ago and, as of Friday the 20th, had a loyalty score among men of 29.3. By comparison, Apple has fallen from a recent high of 48.1 on the 9th, shortly after the Droid lau... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/11/25/motorola.image.helped.by.anti.apple.ads/ Wed, 25 Nov 2009 15:00:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/11/24/n97.and.satio.pulled.due.to.quality.issues/ <img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/0911/sonyericssonsatio-sm.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Symbian has been dealt setbacks in recent days as both Nokia's N97 and Sony Ericsson's Satio appear to have been pulled due to likely quality concerns. The former isn't available on most carriers and is now no longer selectable through Vodafone UK; while visible online, choosing it redirects shoppers to the N97 mini. No explanation has been given, but it's suspected that the more stable Symbian ... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/11/24/n97.and.satio.pulled.due.to.quality.issues/ Tue, 24 Nov 2009 14:05:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/11/23/googles.brin.sees.two.oses.merging/ <img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/0911/googlechromeos.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Google co-creator Sergey Brin followed up the introduction of Chrome OS with hints that the new operating system may eventually merge with Android. While the two are currently separate in most ways, the executive suggested the two could unite simply because smartphones and notebooks increasingly share common traits. He pointed out that both have Linux at the root and WebKit for their browsing en... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/11/23/googles.brin.sees.two.oses.merging/ Mon, 23 Nov 2009 23:20:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/11/23/spotify.outs.application.for.symbian.phones/ <img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/0911/spotifysymbian.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Spotify on Monday launched a Symbian app for its streaming music service. Nokia, Sony Ericsson and Samsung, among others, use the Symbian operating system in the majority of their devices, potentially opening up the service to millions of new users. Spotify Mobile is already offered for the iPhone and for Android handsets.... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/11/23/spotify.outs.application.for.symbian.phones/ Mon, 23 Nov 2009 21:35:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/11/23/maps.navigation.brings.most.features.to.16/ <img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/0911/googlemapsnavigation-android16.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Google today gave Android a further edge by porting Google Maps Navigation to Android 1.6 phones. The update gives the T-Mobile G1, myTouch 3G and some international devices support for the turn-by-turn navigation system that was previously limited to the only Android 2.0 device, the Motorola Droid.... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/11/23/maps.navigation.brings.most.features.to.16/ Mon, 23 Nov 2009 20:50:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/11/23/admob.sees.apple.android.jump.in.oct.09/ <img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/0911/iphone3gs-3sm.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Apple devices now represent exactly half of all smartphone traffic on the Internet, AdMob said today in its report for October. The iPhone has gained 10 percent of absolute share since August to reach 50 percent while Symbian has fallen again to 25 percent. Apple has identical share in the US.... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/11/23/admob.sees.apple.android.jump.in.oct.09/ Mon, 23 Nov 2009 16:10:00 GMT http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/11/23/dell.mini.3i.ships.with.unfair.edge/ <img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/0911/dellmini3i-china.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Dell's Mini 3i is shipping to China with a possible unfair competitive advantage against the iPhone. The Android phone should be available by the end of the month through China Mobile's retail partners and later through Dell's own site. As expected, it will drop 3G and Wi-Fi due to the government-backed carrier's preferences but will still have a 640x360 capacitive touchscreen, GPS, Bluetooth an... http://www.macnn.com/articles/09/11/23/dell.mini.3i.ships.with.unfair.edge/ Mon, 23 Nov 2009 13:30:00 GMT
