Nokia plans to expand Comes With Music, its UK-based unlimited music service, in both Australia and Singapore later this quarter, and is eyeing further expansion in Europe and the United States, according to Reuters. That indicates that the world’s top handset maker may release more cell phones compatible with the service in the U.S. like the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic.

“The next two countries which we are going to roll out in the next 10 weeks are going to be in Asia, in Australia and Singapore,” Tero Ojanpera, the head of entertainment and communities at Nokia, said at the MidemNet annual digital music gathering in Cannes. “We’ll be launching there in the first quarter of 2009, in February and March.” Read the rest of this entry »

Samsung plans to launch its first Google Android mobile phone this year. The new smartphone will be available through T-Mobile and Sprint Nextel.

Samsung Electronics said it will deploy its first Google Android mobile phone in 2009. The company plans to sell the new touch screen through T-Mobile and Sprint Nextel. Pricing and additional information was not disclosed.

“We are accelerating the development process for Google phone in order to meet the specific need of local carriers,” a Samsung official said in a statement.

HTC Corp was the first handset manufacture to make the G1 Google phone for T-Mobile this year. Other than HTC, there hasn’t been another smartphone company to make the jump to the Google Android platform. Read the rest of this entry »

“Obama” Phone

Posted: under News.

Next president of USA, Barack Obama, got elected in part because he transcends the way many Americans thought of race. Raised by his white mother and grandparents in Hawaii and Indonesia, he was also strongly affected by his father, a Kenyan immigrant, and he married into a Black American family. Black, white, Kansan, Kenyan, Hawaiian, he defines his own categories.

So it’s fitting that the “color” of the Obama Phone being sold in Kenya is “Black + Obama colour.” Apparently, Obama is now a color! I’m reminded of a great column I saw online a few months ago – I’m still trying to find the link – where a guy ordered a coffee “Obama,” and got it with just the perfect amount of milk and sweetener.

Anyway, back to the tech. The MI-205f Obama is a basic candybar-style phone with a color screen, flashlight and FM radio, being sold by Mi-Fone, a firm owned by Latin American mega-cell-phone-company America Movil who work with distributors in five African countries. They sell super-low-cost phones to hip African youth, driving mobile phones into new markets. Read the rest of this entry »

On the surface, these things will look identical to the Secure Digital (SD) memory cards that we have been using for ages, but they’re going to pack a lot more of a capacity wallop in the same sized package. We’ve already become familiar with the SDHC format that pushed SD cards well past the original 2GB maximum. I’m using a 4GB and an 8GB memory card for my digital camera, for example.

Get ready for the next generation. The new SDXC (eXtended Capacity) memory card standard has been announced, providing a theoretical maximum storage capacity of two terabytes on a single card. This applies not only to the full-size SDXC card, but also the microSDXC format as well. Read the rest of this entry »
