AFB: Today

Hello,

I’m away from blog today due to no Internet connectivity at the hotel where I’m staying. I’m currently at Koh Phi Phi in Thailand, and will be here for the rest of the week. I will post the most interesting news tomorrow :)

My student exchange in Thailand is nearing its end, and I’m actually flying back to Finland next week. After this I’ll get back to the usual ~10 posts a day! I can’t wait to get back to my regular life :)

Stay tuned!

December Top 10 by DNA in Finland

| January 3, 2012 01:49 UTC | 0 comments | source

 Samsung Galaxy Mini S5570 live

I always try to post rankings of sold phones in Finland when I find them. Now Kauppalehti has published DNA’s ten most sold phones in December, 2011. DNA is one of the largest operators in Finland.

When looking at the list below, it does come as a surprise that the Samsung Galaxy Mini is in the first spot, followed by the iPhone 4S and Galaxy S II. I guess this could be caused by many buying a cheap smartphone as a Christmas gift? ;)

  1.  Samsung Galaxy Mini
  2. Apple iPhone 4S
  3. Samsung Galaxy S II
  4. Samsung Galaxy S Plus
  5. Nokia C2-01
  6. Nokia 500
  7. Nokia N9
  8. Samsung Galaxy Xcover
  9. Nokia C1-01
  10. Nokia C5-00

Happy New Year 2012!

| January 1, 2012 02:00 UTC | 0 comments |

Welcome to 2012 everyone! I just spent my first New Year’s Eve outside of Finland. I’m still living in Bangkok, but will be moving back to Finland in just a few weeks. For the past four months I haven’t had as much the time to write on this blog as I would have wanted. This will change when I get back to Finland, and you’ll get the usual 4-10 posts every single day.

A Thank You goes out to all our readers around the world! Let’s hope that 2012 will turn out to be as interesting as 2011 was regarding the mobile world :) HAPPY NEW YEAR!

New iPads with much better battery capacity coming in January

| December 30, 2011 12:19 UTC | 0 comments | source

According to recent rumors, we’re about to get two new iPad models in early 2012. Digitimes writes that the new iPads will be released on January 26th at MacWorld/iWorld.

If their sources are correct, we’ll see a 9.7-inch screen at QXGA resolution, which translates into 1,536 x 2,048 pixels. The display is lit by a dual LED setup to make it bright enough with this new resolution. Other new features include a new Apple A6-CPU, two cameras (5 or 8-megapixel camera, deepening on the model), and a supercharged battery at 14,000mAh. The iPad 2 currently comes with a 6,500mAh battery inside, meaning that Apple will more than double the capacity of the battery!

The rumors didn’t suggest what else than the camera will differ in these two new iPad 3 models. Just under a month to go before the rumored announcement!

Samsung Galaxy S III i9500

Samsung Galaxy S III i9500

Here’s something that came to disturb my Christmas Eve – a render of the Samsung Galaxy S III! The Galaxy S III, or i9500 Universal, could possibly be the first device to dual-boot into Android and bada OS.

The Galaxy S III comes with a 5-inch HD Super AMOLED 1280 x 720 pixel display, 9mm thick body, 12 megapixel camera with both LED and Xenon flash. On the front we have a 2-megapixel camera. The Galaxy S III will be available with 32 or 64GB internal memory, expandable with a microSDXC card. Connectivity is ensured by a 4G LTE radio and USB 3.0. The CPU again is Samsung’s own quad-core Exynos 4412 running at 1.5GHz.

Kindle Fire software version 6.2.1 released

Kindle Fire

Kindle Fire

Kindle Fire owners are greeted with an update today. The new version is 6.2.1, and breaks rooting. Those of you who have a rooted Kindle Fire should obviously stay away from WiFi networks to avoid auto-updates. Another option is to install Cyanogen Mod to finally remove the auto-updates :) Apart from the root-account removal, the update brings smoother scrolling, password protected WiFi access and the ability to remove recently used items from the carousel.
