| Harris InTouch RPC-200 Rugged Smartphone Operates on Public Safety Band 14 LTE Posted: 29 Sep 2012 11:53 AM PDT
Harris InTouch RPC-200 is an interesting device with public safety band 14 LTE and commercial 2G/3G/4G support, Android 4.1 as the OS and the rugged case. As you can see it looks like a pretty bulky affair and the kind of device that’s used in construction or oil rigs, or places like that.
The handset is optimized for public safety critical operating environments and it can face drops, varied temperature ranges, immersions and more. The phone supports downloading and installing of third party apps and has common and modern features like a 4 inch display, HDMI video out and 5 megapixel camera. There’s a large PTT button on board, a waterproof speaker and noise cancellation capability. Android 4.1 comes with an optimized user interface, an industry leading LTE chipset and an integrated communication applications framework. For those of you who haven’t heard about Harris, know that this company is a leading supplier of assured communication systems and equipment for public safety, federal, utility, commercial and transportation markets. The company has 80 years of experience in public safety. Related posts:

| Open WebOS Boots on Galaxy Nexus in Front of Camera (Video) Posted: 29 Sep 2012 11:25 AM PDT
HP launched this week the Open WebOS platform, version 1.0, that’s highly portable to any device out there. One of them is the Galaxy Nexus, that’s just received a port of the Open WebOS OE (OpenEmbedded). The WebOS Ports team is behind this port and they’ve uploaded a video of the Open WebOS running on the Galaxy Nexus, shown below.
It may not look pretty and it’s not fast, most likely because there’s no hardware acceleration supported yet, but it’s still something to evolve from. If you’re wondering how the guys worked so fast, know that the beta version of Open WebOS has been public for a month now and other parts have been available as open source for many more months. The Galaxy Nexus was apparently chosen by the WebOS Ports team for hacking and porting back in August, as the first target device, thanks to its open source nature. What the devs were able to do is play with the beta build, getting the device to boot Open WebOS and also support WiFi connectivity, Bluetooth, telephony and camera don’t work just yet. Future modifications of the platform may bring more speed, hardware acceleration, other normal features and maybe some integration with Android, who knows? I have to say that the keyboard displayed here actually looks quite nice… Related posts:

| Samsung Galaxy Note II AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon Versions Spotted at the FCC Posted: 29 Sep 2012 09:19 AM PDT
Samsung is certain to bring the brand new Galaxy Note II to all major carriers in USA by the middle of this fall, that’s for sure. Another sure thing is that the devices will get the FCC blessing, as confirmed by the sketch below. The regulators are giving the approval for 3 carrier versions of the new Android phablet.
I’m talking about the AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon versions. The SGH-i317 is the AT&T unit and the same one for Canadian carriers and it just got the green light for 3G and 4G use. SCH-i605 has both CDMA and GSM, plus a 700 MHz LTE band, meaning it’s Verizon material. SGH-T889 is all T-Mobile. Samsung apparently has a pen-focused event on October 24th, that could be meant for the debut of the Galaxy Note II launch in USA. Let me remind you that this device measures 9.4 mm in thickness and packs a 5.5 inch HD display with a Super AMOLED panel. The handset offers either 16, 32 or 64 GB of storage, 2 GB of RAM, LTE connectivity, Bluetooth 4.0 and an 8 megapixel camera with LED flash. I expect minor design differences or even big ones, since it has happened before that a Galaxy device has a physical Home button in a carrier version and lacked it on another operator. Related posts:

| HTC One X+ Pictured Yet Again, This Time in Hands on Photos Posted: 29 Sep 2012 07:10 AM PDT
We’ve seen the HTC One X+ leaking as specs, benchmarks, press shots, brochure pics and now we’ve got one of the first decent hands on pics out there. This is supposed to be an evolved version of the HTC One X, with an improved CPU and Android 4.1 Jelly Bean preinstalled. The first HTC One X was a fine phone, so do we really need this slight improvement?
The Taiwanese company we know as HTC is seriously preparing to launch this time, although no dates or prices have been disclosed. It’s true that an O2 UK leak showed a price of around 600 euros for the newcomer, but can we take that for granted? The newcomer brings a Tegra 3+ quad core CPU at 1.7 GHz, an upgrade from the original model, a 1800 mAh battery, 1GB of RAM, an 8 megapixel camera, Beats Audio technology and 32GB of storage. Preinstalled Jelly Bean can also be considered a selling point, I guess… I’m pretty sure that by the middle of October we’ll see this product launched and I hope it won’t suffer the fate of the HTC Sensation XE, also a minor upgrade of a decent product, the HTC Sensation. That one only came with a bunch of headphones and minor design changes and it didn’t sell well, at all. Is the market ready for such small upgrades? Related posts:

| Motorola Droid RAZR HD and MAXX HD Have Antenna Problems, Could be Delayed Posted: 29 Sep 2012 02:04 AM PDT
Verizon’s plans to release the Motorola Droid RAZR HD and Motorola Droid RAZR MAXX HD on Verizon could be hindered by the most unexpected of problems: antenna issues. There’s a rumor at the Howard Forum, saying that antenna issues forced Moto and VZW to delay the products.
The report blames the antenna design of the newcomers, that puts the antenna in contact with the edges of the phone casing, causing a death grip-like situation. The problem is a hardware one, so it can’t be fixed with a software update, so we’ll see a lengthy debate here and possibly a longer delay. Rumors said that we should expect the phones to debut at the end of October, but if the antenna issues are taken into account, we may see them at Thanksgiving time. For those who don’t know, Motorola Droid RAZR HD features a 4.7 inch 720p display, Android 4.0.4 and a dual core Snapdragon S4 processor at 1.5 GHz, plus an 8 meapixel rear camera and NFC. Inside there’s a massive 2,500 mAh battery and even more massive on the MAXX HD. Related posts:
