White iPhone 4 Delayed Because of White Not Being White
October 15, 2010 by 1 Comment
Pocket-Lint spotted a white iPhone 4 the other day at a press event. When speaking with the owner of the phone it seems to be that Apple [AAPL] has delayed the launch of the white iPhone 4 due to the white not being correct. For example, the white home button isn’t the same color as the white used for the glass.
With Apple being a perfectionist it has decided that it wont release the phone till everything is 100% right. [Read more…]

Opera Mobile for Android Coming Soon with Pinch to Zoom
October 14, 2010 by 1 Comment
Opera is launching the Opera Mobile Browser for Android smartphones within the next month. The new browser will launch with pinch to zoom on Android with more features being added over time, such as hardware acceleration.
Pinch to zoom, if you are not familiar with it, allows users to zoom in to a webpage at incremental levels while pinching or pulling their fingers apart on the screen. This allows users to quickly zoom in to an appropriate level rather than a pre-programed level to read text more easily. [Read more…]

October 14, 2010 by Leave a Comment

Samsung Galaxy Tab UK Price Revealed
October 14, 2010 by Leave a Comment
T3 managed to get some details of the Samsung Galaxy Tab UK price, revealing that it will cost £599 SIM free.
Confirmation of the contract price has also been found as being £199 on a 24 month contract. The 24/month contract will cost £25/month to get it at £199 for the tablet.
Pricing seems a little off to us though as I doubt many, if any, would class the Samsung Galaxy Tab as a mobile phone (even though it does do voice and text messages) as it’s just a little too large for that. With this in mind, I expect that people would much prefer to pay closer to £10/month for a contract that comes with data only. [Read more…]
