Motorola Backflip is apparently nothing more than a CLIQ clone, at first, but what’s surprising about it is its very cool and original form factor. The handset got shown at CES 2010 and you can check it out in the video below, for some flexible, double jointed form factor action: Backflip’s 5 megapixel camera can be turned into a vlogging...
Lenovo’s LePhone was handed over to the folks of Mobile Crunch for some hands on quality time @ CES 2010. The result was the video you can see after the break, portraying the Android-based handset in action. LePhone packs a beautiful 3.7 inch 800 x 480 pixel OLED display, it uses volume buttons on the side and a reprogrammable button on the right. The...
We all know that the iPhone lacks Flash support, so it’s missing out on some pretty cool features, specially related to gaming and video websites/services. However, there are some other handsets we can choose, with Flash support and all, to compensate for the Apple’s lack of cooperation with Adobe. Nexus One is one of them, as you can see...
Multitouch is so last year, it seems, specially now that we can see a new input method in action in the video below. This is a vision-based interface we’re talking about, meant for mobile devices and based on tracking the 3D motion of a human fingertip by using a camera. Developed by Professor Masatoshi Ishikawa and Dr. Takashi Komuro of the...
Last we heard, HTC was readying a Sense UI update, to be present on the Espresso handset model, that got its ROM hacked and messed with. The ROM was then ported onto a HTC Hero and tested, as you can see in the video below. This version seems to be cleaner and we notice a new launcher bar at the bottom, that should come in handy. Less convincing are...
The iPhone is already a very fearsome rival for the PSP and Nintendo DS, considering the love it gets from both gamers and game developers these days. Now, it turns out that Epic Games has ported the Unreal Engine 3 on the handset, the same engine that powers superb titles like BioShock, Gears of War 2 and Mirror’s Edge. Of course, you shouldn’t...
These things have the habit of unfolding the same way each time: first, the info about a fresh product leaks, then a blurry picture, than a clearer one, than the official release, than a hands on video and the official launch date afterwards. Is this supposed Apple Tablet video about to spoil the ritual? Odds are the video is a fake, or maybe the...
A couple of weeks after announcing that it’ll develop an in-house called Bada, Samsung launched the platform in London. The event took place yesterday and the features of the OS get showcased in the video below. Notice a couple of feats borrowed from iPhone OS and overall, the OS looks like nothing new, if you ask me. Bada OS is all about touch...

Among the showcased features there was also a real time search function, allowing the user conducting a search to see live updates from people on Twitter, FriendFeed and other such similar services. If relevant, the Tweets...
Remember Zii Trinity, the “Smart/Media Phone” concept and development platform? This handset is ideal for customization and for developers to play with.
