Windows Phone 7 Series demo video reveals new apps, screens

Microsoft may be saving most of its Windows Phone 7 Series news for MIX the week after next (at least that’s what we’ve heard whispers about), but it looks like it’s still dishing out a few more details beforehand, as evidenced by a short demonstration Microsoft’s Charlie Kindel gave to CNET . Nothing major like a confirmation of HD2 support, but we do get a glimpse of a few apps we haven’t seen before (including a flashlight, level, and weather app — all supposedly “trivial” to build thanks to XNA and Silverlight ), and a look at some new screens for various applications we have seen, including a better look at the Xbox Live hub. Head on past the break to check out the video for yourself. ... Read More...

Motorola i1: we’ve seen it, it runs Blur, and it’ll likely be out soon

Well, that was quick: thanks to some new information we’ve received, we’re now able to confirm that the Motorola i1 is indeed the so-called Opus One that the company has been rumored to preparing for its iDEN carrier partners with Android on board — and it’s exactly the leaked device we saw back in December . We don’t know much in the way of specs, but it sounds like we should expect Blur running atop Android 1.5 (sigh), a 3 megapixel cam, and a possible announcement within a couple weeks — a time frame that would line up splendidly with CTIA toward the end of the month. Naturally, you can bet your little green robot we’ll be there. ... Read More...

Apple shares hit record high on iPad shipping announcement

Note to Microsoft, HP, Dell, and whoever else wants to get in the next-gen tablet game: your concepts are nice — even spectacular, in the case of Courier — but Apple’s about to actually ship a product, and investors are taking note. AAPL shares hit a record high of $219.36 this afternoon after the news that iPad pre-orders would begin on March 12 with an April 3rd delivery day, and they closed at $218.95, which is up around four percent. That’s got us curious: given the choice between actually purchasing the iPad and twiddling your thumbs waiting for unannounced, unpriced, and even possibly un- real devices like the Dell Mini 5 , the HP Slate , or the Courier , are you taking the sure thing or holding out for your vaporous dream device...

iriver introduces D1000 ‘e-dictionary’ for Korea

So-called “e-dictionaries” don’t often make the trip over here, but iriver broke that trend with its D5 clamshell device, which suggests that it just might also do the same with its new D1000 follow-up. Of course, like its predecessor, this device is quite a bit more than just a dictionary, with it packing a 4.3-inch 480 x 272 touch screen, 8GB or 16GB of storage, built-in WiFi, a DMB TV tuner, 720p video output, and a full range of media player features. ...
