It was just a scant few days ago that we saw the first live pictures of the upcoming Verizon Wireless VX9600 Versa. Now we have a tentative release date for all you folks excited to see this modular LG Dare-Voyager hybrid hit the market. According to Best Buy Mobile’s inventory system, the LG VX9600 is slated for release on February 22, 2009. You can expect it to hit Verizon Wireless stores and website around the same time. Whether this modular phone will wow us with its “versatility” or be a good idea gone bad remains to be seen but at least we now know how long we have to wait to find out.
Google Mobile App available for iPhone
November 17, 2008 :: Posted by - admin :: Category - Announcements, Applications, Google, News, iPhone
Google has been working on a new voice-recognition search application for the iPhone (Google Mobile App) for some time now. Rumor had it that the new app would have launched this past Friday, but sometime on Friday Google found out that Apple wouldn’t be pushing it out, despite getting the thumbs up for Friday earlier in the week.
The good news for Google and all that were eagerly awaiting this app, is it will likely become available come Monday. This news comes from a source with insider knowledge of the situation (according to a report at TechCrunch). Google has apparently had little contact with Apple during this period, and have been getting updates on the situation via the iPhone developer tool which has had a status of ‘in review’ for the last few days.
The first official images of the forthcoming replacement to the Casio G’Zone Type-S have surfaced.
The Casio c711 clamshell we previously covered is now known as the Casio Boulder and will feature a Mil-Spec bodyshell along with EVDO Rev. A access for its forthcoming push to talk service, 1.3 megapixel camera with flash and video capture, 256 MB of internal memory, GPS support with workforce management applications, Bluetooth, media player and speakerphone.
The Alltel LG AX300 is now available. The Alltel LG AX300 is a brand new stylish & compact phone available at the carrier. The new handset only costs $0.99 after rebates and 2 year agreement, so it’s hard to beat that. Of course, you can’t expect the best phone for $1, so it is a pretty basic handset.
The Alltel LG AX300 features include:
- VGA camera with picture messaging
- Bluetooth
- speakerphone
- Celltop ready
- GPS capable & it is BREW enabled.
