It turns out that this is the MDA Compact IV and it's heading over to the good people at T-Mobile. http://www.mobilemag.com/redirect.php?content=15110 It seems that Italians roll a completely different way than Americans, because the most recent word has the 3G iPhone launching with Telecom Italia without any long-term exclusivity and without a revenue sharing agreement. http://www.mobilemag.com/redirect.php?content=15109 In like manner, every compact laptop will inevitably draw comparisons to the Asus Eee PC. Such is the case with the MSI Wind, a subnotebook that's a little larger than the current 7-inch Eee. http://www.mobilemag.com/redirect.php?content=15108 Approaching a similar market as the Acura RDX and BMW X3 is the newly revealed Audi Q5. The compact crossover made its official debut at the Beijing Motor Show. http://www.mobilemag.com/redirect.php?content=15107 Thankfully, Amazon has restocked and they're ready to ship out the revolutionary handheld device again. http://www.mobilemag.com/redirect.php?content=15106 The BlackBerry Curve, in all its different incarnations, has been available to GSM providers for some time. Now it's heading to the CDMA-ness of Alltel. http://www.mobilemag.com/redirect.php?content=15105 Whatever the case, if you happen to be rocking an XP-powered computer from Dell, you will only continue to get support for that OS through to 2012. http://www.mobilemag.com/redirect.php?content=15104 Everyone seems to be in love with the original seven-inch model and the 8.9-inch version is just around the corner. But that's not enough. Milk that cash cow for all it's worth! http://www.mobilemag.com/redirect.php?content=15103 The Nokia 6555 clamshell was recently added to the Fido lineup and while it won't win any awards in terms of innovation, I feel that it does what it needs to do and it does it reasonably well. http://www.mobilemag.com/redirect.php?content=15102 We've already seen the implementation of motion sensing in the Nintendo Wii, but now Samsung is getting you to wave your hands around with a new cell phone as well. The difference is that you aren't waving the phone around. http://www.mobilemag.com/redirect.php?content=15101 Although Cupertino hasn't confirmed things one way or another, it's well within the realm of possibility that the 3G iPhone will be announced in June. And now we're hearing that it's going to "radically different" than the existing model. http://www.mobilemag.com/redirect.php?content=15100 It's been delayed, delayed again, and delayed some more. T-Mobile is getting awfully late for the 3G party, but it's better late than never. The current rumor is calling for a May rollout of T-Mobile's 3G network. http://www.mobilemag.com/redirect.php?content=15099 Motorola hasn't been doing all that well lately, but taking a look at their roadmap for 2008 reveals at least a couple of phones that could turn the company around http://www.mobilemag.com/redirect.php?content=15098 I'm all for expressing yourself when it comes to portable electronics, but there's just something about carrying a piece of raw beef in your pocket that rubs me the wrong way. http://www.mobilemag.com/redirect.php?content=15097 The Samsung SCH-W599 can't decide which cellular standard it wants, so it's going to offer both. In addition to CDMA, the W599 also has dual SIM slots for GSM reception. http://www.mobilemag.com/redirect.php?content=15096 The trouble with the Wii is that you are typically restricted to the living room, because you need a TV and some space to move. This portable screen removes that restriction. http://www.mobilemag.com/redirect.php?content=15095 The E10, which will likely fall under the ROKR family of handsets, was previously leaked with a codename of Texel. Now it has a name that falls in line with the rest of the company. http://www.mobilemag.com/redirect.php?content=15094 If you're tired of the same old thumb drives, then take a gander at this USB Flash Drive from the people at Hantat. It's shaped like a banana. And um, it's yellow. http://www.mobilemag.com/redirect.php?content=15093 As fashionable as the Apple iPhone happens to be, I think that we'd all agree that it's not the most durable handset on the market. Even so, the crazy kook at iPhone in Canada has decided to run over the Jesus Phone with his car. http://www.mobilemag.com/redirect.php?content=15092 According to recent FCC documents, however, there is reason to believe that the HTC Touch Dual will be available through the good people at AT&T. http://www.mobilemag.com/redirect.php?content=15091 Don't you hate having to move your hand from your keyboard over to your mouse every time that you want to click on something. Wouldn't it be easier if the mouse were permanently attached to your hand? http://www.mobilemag.com/redirect.php?content=15090 KDDI Japan has just launched their ER Search application, which effectively reads the information in your camera phone pictures and uses that to find relevant stuff online.
