Hot on the heels of yesterday’s news that the iPhone is going to be available on Orange in the UK is Vodafone’s announcement that it will also be selling Apple’s popular device. From 2010, Irish Vodafone customers will also be able to get the iPhone, meaning an end to O2’s exclusivity.
Irish customers can register interest with Vodafone here from today. No pricing as yet though.
Digital radio might be the next wave, but it might not be as straightforward as simply shoving us all on to DAB. Or so new research from the Broadcasting Commission of Ireland tells us. (more…)
Vodafone unveiled its new 360 service yesterday in Dublin, with the help of chief executive Charles Butterworth and Dita von Teese.
Personally, I was disappointed that DvT didn’t explain the finer points of the service. But moving along.
The Google Book hearing has been delayed.
O2 will launch the Palm Pre on October 16th.
Twitter is raising €67.7 million in funding.
Microsoft has opened a €341 million data centre in Dublin.
The Wii becomes the latest console to drop prices.
IT’S THE stuff of James Bond dreams – a watch that doubles as your phone.
Showing your digital camera’s photos on the tiny built-in LCD screen is so 2008. Nikon’s latest camera, the Coolpix S1000pj, has an integrated projector that will display your photos from five inches up to 40 inches, depending on lighting conditions. The camera comes with an remote control for both the projector and the camera functions, and a small stand is also thrown.
Printers are not usually something to get excited about, but with digital cameras now an essential piece of kit for most people, the time may be right to consider investing. After all, there’s little point in taking the photos if they languish on your hard drive. (more…)
Get ready for the new announcements, folks. The Apple event has kicked off and already we have iTunes 9, and updated iPhone software. Hopefully it will address the poor battery life on the iPhone.
iPods now come with cameras too, apparently.
UPDATE In bullet points to keep it simple.
The iPod Nano:
iPod Touch:
Irish pricing will be updated as soon as I get it.
More later
We don’t even have the Palm Pre here just yet (although it is coming soon) and already Palm has announced a brand new handset - the Palm Pixi.
The free Spotify gravy train has finished for Irish users. For the time being, anyway. I found this in my inbox this morning:
Let’s get one thing clear from the start: the N900 is not a phone. It’s an internet tablet. Nokia executives describe it as “going beyond the smartphone”.
Ok, so it wasn’t exactly earth shattering news yesterday, considering we all know the Booklet 3G was part of the plans thanks to the reports last week. But Nokia World gave us a chance to actually get a look at it, get detailed specs and find out the all important price (€575 for those who are interested).
Two new music phones were announced by Nokia at Nokia World in Stuttgart yesterday, expanding the “Comes With Music” line a little futher.
First up: the X3.
Nokia World 2009 is full of updates and new devices.
First up is the a new version of the popular N97, the N97 Mini. The handset, as the name suggests, will be a smaller version of the current device.
Not that the N97 is a massive burden to lug around in your pocket, but Nokia is hoping to win over a few more customers with the handset.
