It’s officcial, Android hates america.
Well. Yeah it’s true. Google’s owns “super phone”. The Nexus One, that was announced three days ago supports multitouch only in Europe (Vodafone, is the only announced carrier atm). It’s fun that we Europeans have something that the Americans want but can’t have on the app phone market. Long live the all mighty apple with their patents over the pond : )
HTC also announced their first dumbphone, ironically named the HTC Smart. Wich is running on Qualcoms BREW os. should be fun.
Oh, and there are some new SonyEricsson handsets on the way, besides the X10. One of them seems to be a mini X10, so. Yeah another ten points for creativity to SE.
Last but not least, the Else Emblaze was also demoed at CES ’10, this is probably the only interesting announcement that was made there (yes i’m not into consumer electronics, who cares if you have the thinnest LCD TV, i still have a 26″ CRT TV, since i have no need for an 1080p thingy, why use it if there are no (true) HD-TV senders here in Germany. For my modded x360 you may say? No thanks. I personally see no difference that would justify buying a new TV. If my old one breaks, and i have to buy a new one. Well then yea, since the LCD TV’s are cheaper than the CRT ones.
*gets back on original topic*
So the Emblaze. from specifications it’s not that much different from my Milestone [ A853 ], same processor, a bit smaller display, 3.47″, and features, e.g. 16gb dedicated flash memory in the thing. What’s amazing about this phone is the OS, it’s designed to be used with one hand and it just looks _shiny_ . Also the blue vs. black color scheme is fancy.
