Video: LCD vs AMOLED vs Super LCD vs Super AMOLED

| July 27, 2010 19:53 UTC | 0 comments | source

Check out this comparison video of four different screen technologies.

You can see the following screens tested in the video above:

  • Motorola Milestone with a LCD panel
  • Nexus One with an AMOLED panel
  • HTC Desire with a Super LCD panel
  • Samsung Wave with a Super AMOLED panel

Personally I like the Super AMOLED screen the most. Would be cool to see the iPhone 4s Retina Display in this same test.

HTC Sense UI for Windows Phone 7 Will Look Like This?

| July 27, 2010 06:17 UTC | 0 comments | source

Windows Phone 7 With Sense

An anonymous tipster sent the pic above to pocketnow, and he/she claims that it is how Sense UI will look on Windows Phone 7.

Microsoft has previously stated that UI customization can’t be done in any other way than by customizing the way tiles look in WP7. In the picture above you can see the clock with Sense, and also the weather tile in a Sense flavor. Keep in mind that this is just a rumor, and for instance the star-fog on the right side doesn’t look that professional. Also the background color on the clock tile is a little bit off.

Nokia 5230 and Nokia X6 Running Android!

| July 26, 2010 16:11 UTC | 0 comments | source

What would you say if you could get a Nokia 5230 or a Nokia X6 with a Android on board? Someone in the marketing department of Three Mobile UK thinks that it is possible.

The ad above appeared earlier today on Oxford Street in London, UK. Pretty good marketing snafu from Three, since Nokia has previously told that there will not be a Nokia phone running Android in the near future.

White iPhone 4 Delayed Again

| July 25, 2010 18:31 UTC | 2 comments | source

iPhone 4 White

Apple on Friday issued a short press release to let us know that the white iPhone 4 has yet again been delayed. Previously Apple said that we’ll get the white version before the end of this month. Now Apple didn’t give a specific release timeframe for the white iPhone 4 availability, it will just be released later this year.

White models of Apple’s new iPhone® 4 have continued to be more challenging to manufacture than we originally expected, and as a result they will not be available until later this year. The availability of the more popular iPhone 4 black models is not affected.

Hey everyone!

Sorry for not posting anything in the previous two days. I had a friends bachelor party and obviously couldn’t write on the blog during it.

But now I’m back! Enjoy :)
