Google and Motorola challenging Apple and Samsung with the new ' X Phone '

engineers at Motorola Mobility which was purchased by Google are working on a handset codenamed "X-phone", aimed at grabbing market share from Apple Inc and Samsung Electronics Co Ltd, the Wall Street Journal said, citing people familiar with the matter.

Google acquired Motorola in May for $12.5 billion to bolster its patent portfolio as its Android mobile operating system competes with rivals such as Apple and Samsung.
a media report said Friday. Google has a team of engineers at Motorola developing the new device, which is expected to be introduced sometime next year, The Wall Street Journal said, citing unnamed sources. Shares of Google Inc were down nearly 1% in afternoon trades. Apple was down as well, off 1.2%.

Motorola plans to enhance the X Phone with its recent acquisition of Viewdle, an imaging and gesture-recognition software developer. The new handset is due out sometime next year, the business daily said, citing a person familiar with the plans.

The previously undisclosed development effort is a key facet of Google's strategy for boosting the minuscule market position of the cellphone pioneer, based partly on bolstering quality while reducing the quantity of Motorola products.

Motorola is primarily working on two fronts: devices that will be sold by carrier partner Verizon Wireless, such as the "Droid" line of smartphones, and the X phone, these people said. Motorola is also expected to work on an "X" tablet after the phone, the people added.

Nokia take the rights to customize Windows Phone 7

Nokia has confirmed its unique relationship and partnership with Microsoft is even more closer than that of its rivals.
Talk about a change of mindset – it looks like Microsoft are taking back what they said about not allowing manufacturers to customize Windows Phone 7.

Microsoft originally didn’t want their operating system to be like Android – where consumers faced update delays just because manufacturers decided to throw on their own UI or skin over the stock operating system but now it seems that things have changed. Nokia has just confirmed that they will be allowed to customize the Windows Phone 7 operating system any way they like. But they have mentioned that the customizations will be kept to a minimum and won’t affect the update process when Microsoft releases updates for the operating system.  It hasn’t been made known if Microsoft will now let other manufacturers play a role with WP7 customization, but if so, we’re probably going to see a very different operating system when Nokia makes their WP7 phones. This Nokia-Microsoft deal is starting to get very interesting. What do you think of a Nokia-customized WP7 device?

The Verizon iPhone Rumor Mill Keeps Churning

So you want an iPhone but you don't want to use AT&T as a service provider. It's an old story...almost as old as the iPhone itself. We've heard again and again that AT&T's exclusivity agreement with Apple was about to run out, but so far it hasn't. Well here's another rumor saying the same thing. Actually two rumors that mesh together pretty well.

First up, leaks from the hardware front. TechCrunch's Steve Cheney reports that Apple has ordered "millions of units of Qualcomm CDMA chipsets." Why is this significant? Because AT&T's network uses GSM, not CDMA, so presumably Apple is building iPhones for a network other than AT&T's. The leap to Verizon seems to be one of faith for Cheney, who says the Verizon iPhone will hit in January, but there are a lot of cellular providers around the world. How does Cheney know these chips are going into Verizon phones?
[ Get news and reviews on tech toys in ITworld's personal tech newsletter]
Well, luckily for him, we've got another data point to work with. This one comes from Electronista who reports on an AT&T SEC filing. The filing, Electronista points out, devotes "a significant section of its warnings to the risks that occur when 'exclusivity arrangements end' and tried to minimize the potential effect." The filing doesn't single out the iPhone but let's face it, their deal with Apple is the only really significant exclusivity arrangement AT&T has. (You can read the whole SEC Filing here.)
So putting the pieces together: Apple is building a CDMA device. AT&T is downplaying the loss of an unspecified exclusivity deal, implying the iPhone is going to be available on another carrier here in the U.S. Since Sprint and Verizon both use CDMA we still can't be sure which of the two carriers the new device is headed for (maybe both?) but given the relative size of the two it's a safe bet that Apple would be most interested in partnering with Verizon.
So why is Apple severing its exclusive ties with AT&T now? If I had to speculate, I'd say Android is the main reason. We keep seeing huge numbers posted for Android devices (the most recent being that 200,000 Android devices/day are being activated). Can Apple afford to restrict itself to one carrier in the face of dozens of Android phones across several carriers, including AT&T? Sooner or later Android is going to hit enough of a critical mass that app developers are going to start switching teams, and without the App Store much of the magic of the iPhone vanishes.
We've heard this rumor a lot of times and so far nothing has come of it. Let's hope this time out things are different.

Flash for iPhone Now Available, Thanks to Jailbreak

Adobe's Flash technology is now available for iOS devices, thanks to a new application for jailbroken iPhones and iPads. Coming from Comex, the same man who developed the browser-based JailbreakMe tool, Frash lets iPhone users view Adobe Flash content on their phones.
Frash is in its very early stages, and works with the iPhone 4, 3GS (with iOS4), third-generation iPod Touch, and iPads with the latest software (3.2.X), the developer says. To install Frash, you will also need to jailbreak your device, which can be done easily with the new Web browser-based JailbreakMe tool released last week.

Once you have jailbroken your iOS device and installed Frash (RedmondPie.com has a simple step-by-step guide), you can view Adobe Flash in Mobile Safari. Not all Flash content will work though. Frash is in the early development stages (version 0.02), so only basic Flash animations will display, mainly advertisements. Here's a video showing Frash in action on an iPhone 4.
Apple's relationship with Adobe's Flash technology on the iPhone was bumpy from the beginning. The company refused to include the technology into its mobile devices, saying that it would cripple the experience and battery life. Apple CEO Steve Jobs also explained at length in a public letter his reasons to sideline Adobe's technology.
Some iPhone users were not happy with Job's decision, and looked into getting flash on their iOS devices. Comex's Frash should keep those users happy momentarily, until a better version of the software is developed.
As for jailbreaking, the procedure came into legality two weeks ago, when the U.S. Copyright Office ruled it as an exemption of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). However, Apple doesn't agree with jailbreaking, and says that the procedure will void the warranty of your iOS device, meaning no free repairs in case something goes wrong. To fix that, you can always use the Restore option in iTunes.

AT&T's Samsung A927 Flight shows up before its premiere

The QWERTY-enabled Samsung A927 Flight II has made its way to both Samsung's and AT&T's websites even it hasn't been properly announced yet. Apparently, its premiere is just around the corner so we will get a chance to see it in flesh pretty soon.
Heavy texters will be glad to see the Samsung A927 Flight II hardware four-row side-slide QWERTY keyboard. In addition, the newbie also packs a 3-inch touchscreen of WQVGA resolution (240 x 400 pixels).

Samsung A927 Flight II
Also on board there is a 2-megapixel fixed-focus snapper which is capable of taking videos as well and a standard 3.5mm audio jack ready to accommodate your favorite headphones' plug. Thanks to the microSD card slot you can expand the inbuilt memory (of 512MB) with up to 16GB.
The phone is said to support AT&T's Mobile TV service and on top of that you get quick access to some of the most popular social networking services (such as Facebook and Twitter).


The unannounced Samsung A927 Flight II was spotted on both Samsung USA's (overview and specs sheet) AT&T's websites, however, there is still no word on the QWERTY-fied phone's official launch date or price.

Google Nexus One now available, yet again, for Android devs only

If you couldn't manage to get yourself a Google Nexus One and still want to give it a try, today might be your lucky day. You only need to be a registered Android developer and to have some 529 US dollars in the piggy bank.
As you might have heard, a little while ago Google stopped selling its first own Android-running device online so from that moment on your only option for becoming an owner of the HTC-made Google Nexus One were Google's partners (operators and retailers).



Official photos of HTC Google Nexus One
But if there aren't any of those in your neighborhood, you can now go for another option: as of yesterday the Google Nexus One can be purchased from the Android Developers website since the Nexus One has just become the new Android Developer Phones (replacing the elderly ADP 2).
In order to take advantage of that new option, though, you have to be a registered Android developer. If you happen to be one, just log into your Android Developer account and follow the "Development Phones" link. By the way, the Android Developers' Nexus Ones come with the Android 2.1 on board but the ver. 2.2 update is just a few taps away.
The phones sold over there are factory unlocked (and probably rooted) and are priced at 529 US dollars (around 400 euro, so, no news here).

Samsung Galaxy S lands in two more countries, Brazil and China

Samsung Galaxy S made it to Brazil and it seems that along the way it has picked up a strange appendix pointing from its top. Yup, it's a digital TV antenna. Unlike the other Galaxy S versions spread around the globe, the Brazilian Galaxy S comes with ISDB-Tb Digital TV on board. Oh, and it's pretty overpriced.

As for the rest of the features, you should be familiar with them since those are common for the Brazilian and the non-Brazilian Galaxy S variants. So, you'll find the same gorgeous 4-inch Super AMOLED touchscreen of WVGA resolution as well as the 5MP autofocus camera on the back which is capable of shooting HD videos (720p@30fps).


Live images of the Brazilian version of Samsung Galaxy S
To refresh your memory, the Galaxy S is powered by a fast 1GHz processor and packs an impressive 1500mAh battery. At its launch the Brazilian version will run Android 2.1 (a.k.a. Eclair) but an official Froyo update should follow up pretty soon.
The only downside of the Brazilian Samsung Galaxy S is its price. The SIM-free handset is said to cost good 2400 Brazilian reais (around 1036 euro). Hopefully, the Brazilian operators will offer a better subsidized price at the launch of the phone (some time in September).

Samsung I9008 Galaxy S
By the way, China will apparently get the Galaxy S as well (versions for both China Mobile and China Telecom are expected). The one on the picture above is called Samsung I9008 Galaxy S and should become available at the China Mobile stores soon.
Thanks for the tip, Hugo.
