A test shot on the Nikon D5000 I’ve been reviewing.
A week at LaptopMemo is a big thing. First of all, with all of the new Android phones falling from the sky like Gordon Ramsay yelling on Hell’s Kitchen, I have to keep up with all of that. Including the always-possible possibility of leaking exclusives out here, and some wacko “high-up” Sprint engineers telling me they’re prepping a CDMA iPhone 4 for their network this autumn. There’s also the redesign of this site, which according to most feedback, is “awesome”. And then there’s the Android news that just can’t stop….
- Sprint HTC EVO 4G: June 4th for $199.99 on contract (update: plan pricing!)
- HTC sues Apple for patent infringement, seeks to ban iPad, iPod, and iPhone
- Verizon confirms work on the Google Tablet, should prove entertaining
- Sony NEX-5 and NEX-3 debut with super awesome looks
- NPD: Android ousts iPhone OS for second place in US market
It’s always great to be successful, especially when you know the product you’re selling is well favored, but when you can’t supply that product to the consumer due to too much demand, that’s when the smiles fade away. I am precisely talking about the Droid Incredible by HTC. Due to part shortages like the 3.7-inch WVGA multitouch screen which is built by Samsung, Droid Incredibles cannot be produced. According to Verizon Wireless CEO Lowell McAdam, they “had to pull way back” on store deliveries and instead focus on online sales. In fact, demand has been so tight that within 48 hours of the Incredible’s release, 100,000 handsets were sold. As of the time of this writing, the Verizon web site claims all orders will be fulfilled by June 3rd. Very demanding indeed.
Sprint has spoken! The Samsung Moment, an Android phone begging for Android 2.1 for months, has finally gotten it, as a download from the official Sprint site, meaning that this is an official update, but not OTA (over-the-air for you non techy). What’s more is that that it will wipe out everything on your phone. EVERYTHING!
The 5-inch Mini Android tablet by Dell originally called the Dell Mini 5 is officially approaching O2 Telefonica in Euro this June, and AT&T will be getting it as well this summer. Interestingly, the source of this news is none other than Micheal Dell himself, saying “this [phone] will be available starting next month, first with our partner 02 Telefonica [sic] in Europe, then later this summer with our pretty good partner here in the United States, AT&T.”
