forums@www.treohq.com (MikeA) — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 19:26:04-04:00

Apple's plans to release their new software, MobileMe, has been slightly leaked to the public in the form of two oddly found webpages: 1, 2.

Since those leaks, Apple has released its formal web presentation of the...

Whispers of Windows Mobile 7

forums@www.treohq.com (MikeA) — Mon, 16 Jun 2008 19:34:39-04:00

Now this is all slightly shady business, but Kevin Chen, General Manager of HTC Middle East, Africa & CIS, reportedly stated that HTC devices may have Windows Mobile 7 running in early 2009.

The original source site for this information has gone down and replaced with an "account suspended" notice.

The new Windows Mobile 7 is expected to do a lot of things, but Microsoft has yet to confirm any information that has been floating around.

A leaked report stated that the new WM7 will be much...

Treo 850 Leaked Both Shots And Specs!

forums@www.treohq.com (Shogun) — Mon, 26 May 2008 15:48:04-04:00

There's another leak that came out of Palm's camp. The leak this time is not the Treo 800w, but its new brother. Palm Treo 850 is the name.

The leak spy shots came from the unproven source of Gizmodo. Its source is a "friend who works at Palm". However, the leak is not the only that got a lot of us (and Gizmodo) excited. The leak also comes with a leak/rumor!

The rumor has it that the newly developed device from...

Palm Treo 800w Showed Its REAL Face

forums@www.treohq.com (Shogun) — Fri, 16 May 2008 01:06:44-04:00

For a while, we've been looking at a blown up picture of a Palm Treo 800w. Engadget finally found the in-person picture of that little device!

The first live of Palm's upcoming Treo is actually for CDMA networks. ITs internal name was Zeppelin. The specs for this baby is super sweet. It's WM 6.1, EV-DO Rev A, GPS, a 320 x 320 touchscreen.

It's still packed with Palm's identity. It's still a typical...

Sprint Launching New Treo 800w Soon?

forums@www.treohq.com (Shogun) — Thu, 08 May 2008 00:16:32-04:00

Since noone has seen the Treo 800w yet, we don't really know if this is true. However, it is coming from a pretty reliable source; Engadget.

It's kind of sad that it's coming under the shadow of the Sprint's new waiting-for-launch lineup from HTC... (maybe the Touch Diamond is coming to HTC shhhh)

This new device should be coming to Sprint on July 22 (according to Engadget and WMExperts). The device have some bangs to it...

It's Official: T-Mobile Finally Rolls The 3G!

forums@www.treohq.com (Shogun) — Mon, 05 May 2008 20:49:59-04:00

T-Mobile said today that it has launched its first commercial high-speed wireless service in New York City! Of course, the plan to expand the service is to come. The service is going to be starting fro 20 to 25 major US markets by the end of the year.

Yes, it did take a while, but finally it has arrived.

The new service is the technology that many of us had longed to hear. It is the HSDPA....

Sprint Might Give Up On Nextel

forums@www.treohq.com (Shogun) — Mon, 05 May 2008 20:36:13-04:00

Sprint Nextel Corp finally is thinking. They are considering of dropping the Nextel part off of its name. The move will definitely prove that acquiring Nextel was a failure to Sprint's part. However, that sure will get rid of a lot of troubles that Sprint had gained recently.

No deals or anything is clear. It's just a talk and discussions that has been an ongoing process with some people at Sprint....

Portable solar energy to charge your device!

forums@www.treohq.com (MikeA) — Mon, 05 May 2008 16:08:42-04:00

Does anyone remember the rolling blackouts?

Our need for energy is always on the rise with newer, more powerful mp3 players, cell phones, PC's, laptops... etc, but our energy shortage isn't going anywhere.

The Greenhouse effect is still a huge issue, and the holes in the ozone are definitely not shrinking.

If you are one of the many that is, or has been trying to "go green", there are several new...

Smelly Texts: Reachable Reality

forums@www.treohq.com (Shogun) — Thu, 01 May 2008 19:22:08-04:00

Do you miss your mom who's 3000 miles away? How about her cooking? Cookies? Well, you know, if you want to, you might be able to smell her cookings and cookies soon!

Of course, that'll probably come with your brother's farts. Well, noone knows if it's actually happening anytime soon, but may=be these companies from Germany do. They have patented the technology that enables people to send scented text...

T-Mobile Will Now Have 3G ... May 1st?

forums@www.treohq.com (Shogun) — Tue, 29 Apr 2008 20:34:36-04:00

There's a tip coming in to the guys in Boys Genius Report. It may come as soon as 2 days from now! Hopefully if their tipsters are correct.

T-Mobile should be lanching their 3G data network starting May 1st, but in NYC first. It shouldn't be just one place, but then again, we have no confirmation yet.

Honestly though, who'd know that they have 3G going on. Most of T-Mobile phones don't even...

Your input could shape the growth of Samsung's mp3 player!

forums@www.treohq.com (MikeA) — Fri, 25 Apr 2008 19:07:10-04:00

While the PMP (portable mp3 player) world has been overrun with nanos or zunes, you maybe surprised to find that most every major (and sometimes not too major) electronics company has its own take on a mobile music device.

In the spotlight now, would be Samsung's YP-P2. The device, shown to the right, was released as a major competitor to the iTouch (for its touch screen capability)but may have been swamped under Apple's...

Wanna Work For/With Spike Lee?

forums@www.treohq.com (Shogun) — Fri, 25 Apr 2008 01:30:35-04:00

Congratulations! Spike Lee is hiring... sorta. However, he can and will (might) be able to get a use out of us! How? He's teaming up with Nokia that he'll make a film ENTIRELY shot by cellphone footage!

Well, obviously, we're not going to see Spike walking around NY shooting with his N95 or anything like that. However, he's looking to use the footage from regular users like us. He's attempting to "democratize film"...

Nintendo releasing Wii Channel in tandum with WiiWare.

forums@www.treohq.com (MikeA) — Thu, 24 Apr 2008 19:31:17-04:00

Wii Channel? Wii Ware? We get the nun-chuks now, but what more can innovation bring to this system?

The answer is nothing intangible like more fun, or increased libido, but rather more in the direction of American consumer practicality.

"the Nintendo Channel is how customers will be able to get a feel for games to help them make purchasing decisions," says Reggie Fils-Aime, President of Nintendo America.

Hats off to Seagate.

forums@www.treohq.com (MikeA) — Wed, 23 Apr 2008 19:32:32-04:00

To succeed, there are two proven strategies. Innovate, or destroy innovation of your competition.

In our day and age, it is hard to find company like Seagate, that is so committed to innovation. Media is filled slander, shock and awe, and half naked women that have nothing to do with the merit of the product that is being advertised.

Although Seagate has recently succumbed to moderate levels of modernization, they...

Blue Centro

Well, not that hitting a million mark was enough for Palm. They are trying to rejuvenate all situation even more with this new move. They have decided to add a new color to their Palm Centro lineup.

Palm now decided to add a dark blue color to the new lineup. The best part is that it also added another carrier. Verizon is the newly added carrier to be offering dark Palm centro.

Now, only if T-Mobile...
