Uno de los fabricantes de celulares que mejor sabor de boca ha dejado en la Mobile World Congress 2008 de Barcelona ha sido Sony Ericsson y lo ha hecho presentando su nuevo celular que claramente quiere competir contra el iPhone. Estoy hablando del nuevo Sony Ericsson Xperia 1; un móvil 3G con Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.0, ámara de 3.2 megapixeles, reconocimiento de escritura, slot para tarjeta de memoria, pantalla de 3 pulgadas y teclado deslizable. A mi parecer resulta uno de los mejores intentos de "iPhone killers" que hemos visto aunque lo creo algo tosco en su diseño. Su SO es Windows Mobile 6 lo cual marca otra pauta para Sony Ericsson al no usar su acostumbrado Symbian.Pueden ver un video promocional del Xperia después de:

By Todd Haselton | Published: October 04, 2007  It’s been intense lately, enough to give a hardware guru whiplash; everybody has been calling nearly every new object a potential iPhone killer. One of these days someone’s going to release a land-line phone with a web browser, and for some reason, someone’s going to stand up and call it an iPhone killer. It’s bizarre. Regardless, today is one of the first times that a company executive, not a fan boy, has actually stood up and claimed that its latest phone is going to “kill the iPhone.” The company in reference? Verizon. The phone? Its latest offering from LG, the Voyager VX 10000.  “We think it’ll be the best phone… this year. It will kill the iPhone,” Verizon Wireless Chief Marketing Officer Mike Lanman told Reuters while discussing the LG Voyager. The latest phone’s features include a front touch screen, as well as the ability to open up similar to an enV to reveal ye

Verizon (VZ) just launched what has been dubbed the “iPhone Killer.” Fortunately, Apple has little to worry about. The new VZ Voyager, which was also created by LG, was first introduced to the public in May of this year. The phone has a “flip-open” QWERTY style keyboard, along with a somewhat large touchscreen face. The phone also has: A Web browser Media player Bluetooth Camera Possibly GPS navigation The catch? The phone looks like a spruced up Palm Treo and the screen is full of the those tiny icons. Verizon and LG have essentially copied the iPhone screen characteristics by placing wireless information (bluetooth, status, etc.) and battery stats at the top, and including a bottom navigation bar. Without furtherado: It’s certainly an attempt, but in all honesty, the phone will have a hard time competing with the iPhone, regardless of pricing. The phone is expected to come out some time around Thanksgiving.

Hello once again!It seems that iPhone has became the benchmark for creating multimedia phones and Verizon Wireless which is owned by Verizon Communications Inc and Vodafone Group Plcis unveiling 3 models of its creation with LG Electronic to compete with Apple's iPhone.The creation is simply known as the Voyager.So how does this phone rates along side the big boy,iPhone?

Réponse à ma petite devinette : il s'agissait de la boîte du HTC Touch. Le HTC Touch est le téléphone du moment, il suit de près l'iphone et risque même de le doubler à mon avis... Et pourtant je suis fan d'Apple ! (Mais pas de l'iPhone...) Déjà, je vais vous présenter la marque parce que, honnêtement, je ne la connaissais pas du tout avant d'avoir croisé les nombreux tests du téléphone qui se sont mis à fleurir ces dernières semaines. HTC (High Tech Computer Corp.) est une marque de constructeur taïwanais, elle est né en 1997 et, en fait, regroupe plusieurs autres marques : i-mate, Qtek ou Dopod. Elle semble être "spécialisée" dans les smartphones, sa réputation n'est plus à faire dans cette catégorie. Je crois même qu'elle est leader mondiale. Mais bon, pour les smartphones, je suis totalement puceau, c'est une découverte pour moi et je dois vous dire que j'apprécie réellement ce type de téléphone ! Le HTC Touch se présente dans un coffret qu

Apple announced iPhone this year and everybody else figured out that touchscreen interfaces are a cool thing. Further more, everybody tries to copy in some degree the iPhone, which hasn’t even been launched yet. One of those replicas is the HTC Touch, a Windows Mobile 6 PDA Phone with some additional interface, TouchFLO, mounted on top of the operating system, but in a more brute way compared to LG Prada.

pay per click advertising The Nokia N95 ‘multimedia computer’ – don’t call it a phone, say Nokia – has been creating waves ever since it was previewed to the world mid last year. Now it has arrived, and after a month of use, how has it held up to the hype – and how will it hold up to the iPhone? The N95 has finally been available to buy over the past few weeks, and soon to be much more widely available, has seen months of hype and high anticipation, justified by the strong feature set that sets the N95 apart from a mere cell phone and transforms it into a true multitasking, handheld, Internet connected multimedia computer that does a lot of things and does them all well. Combining many different features into one usable device and ensuring that each has enough quality to actually keep the user happy, or even impress the user, has long been the goal of convergence. For years, converged devices were jacks of all trades, and masters of none, or barely one main function. Ye
