ViewSonic ViewPad 7 announced as the “world’s first 7 inch Android 2.2 Froyo tablet with phone functionality”

9/02/2010 02:25:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , , 0 Comments


We know you're positively giddy with excitement to get at this OlivePad rebadge and ViewSonic is today fanning those flames of desire with a little bit of pre-IFA PR. Made official today, the 7-inch ViewPad 7 will try to lure in Android lovers with its tasty Froyo parfait, underpinned by hardware that includes front- and back-facing cameras, 3G for both phone and data transmissions, and a full-sized SIM slot. It doesn't seem to have an earpiece so we're unwilling to grant it the claim that it offers "full" phone functionality, but we'd be more worried about the unlisted internal specs on this thing -- the OlivePad makes do with a 600MHz ARM CPU and an underwhelming 800 x 480 resolution, neither of which should be making the iPad quake in its well padded boots. Price is expected to be "no more than £350" ($543) in the UK, though all we know about availability is that review units will start showing up in October. Ah well, the wait for a quality iPad alternative continues.

New iPhone 4 antenna design due at the end of September, addresses attenuation?

9/02/2010 02:25:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , , 0 Comments


Mexican technology site canal-mx is reporting that Apple will be reengineering its iPhone 4 antenna design and that the redesigned handsets will be available after September 30th. The news comes courtesy of Marco Quatorze, Tecel’s Director of Value Added Services. Telcel recently began offering the iPhone 4 to its customers and Mr. Quatorze was on the record when he explained that his company would have the same version of the iPhone 4 that is sold in the U.S.; complete with antenna attenuation issues. He noted that Telcel’s customers would be eligible for a free case until September 30. Quatorze then stated that after the 30th a new revision of the iPhone 4, with some sort of internal antenna fix, would be made available by Apple. The news, if true, certainly will rekindle the antenna-gate talks, lawsuits, and comment flame wars that — to be totally honest — we haven’t really missed all that much. We’ve reached out to Apple for comment and will update the article if we receive a response.

LG's Android-based Optimus Pad gets pictured, looking tablet-like

9/02/2010 02:23:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , , , 0 Comments


We've already heard LG talk up its forthcoming Optimus tablet, and it looks like we now have our first look at it. As you can see above in a slide apparently shown during LG's pre-IFA Dealer Days event, the Android-based tablet is now apparently known as the "Optimus Pad," and it's described as boasting "superior performance" and being "thinner and lighter than many competitors' tablets." Not much more than that at the moment, unfortunately, but here's hoping that "more information to come" teaser is a lead-up to a full announcement at IFA this week.

The day before, Joey Yung publicly urges HK citizens to not be bias towards Filipinos, don't fire their maids just because of the tour bus hostage incident. But a political candidate by-election (?) Miss Lam (Lam Yi Lai - 林依麗) ridiculed Joey as just a "small little singer" in the music scene and is not qualified to comment on the incident. The clip of her message circulated online and has angered many stars including Denise Ho, Miriam Yeung, Hins Cheung, Cyrus Chow and Pong Nan, along with many fans gave Joey justice.

Reporters later interviewed Miss Lam, she insists that she was not wrong and said: "Isn't she a small little singer? She's only in her 20s-30s, little children just stick to singing, why talk so much? If she minds, then I'll call her a Big Singer! (Apologize?) Silly! Apologize for what? I didn't say anything, those people are angered? (Many singers are unsatisfied?) Those singers just want to get famous, of course they'll say something. If a Big Singer, then shouldn't mind being called a small little singer, Joey Yung I can't even name one song by her! Don't try to get promotions."

Show brings authentic Taiwan to Hangeng

9/02/2010 02:22:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , , 0 Comments

Ex-Super Junior member, Hangeng, came to Taiwan for his first solo album, Geng's Heart, and, in one breath, recorded 3 episodes of 100% Entertainment, hosted by Show Luo. In order to entertain his good friend, Show bought fried steamed buns (水煎包), scallion pancakes (蔥抓餅), mung bean soup (綠豆湯), marinated foods, and more so that Hangeng can experience authentic Taiwanese food. In the end, it didn't even take NT$300 (~$9.37) to accomplish the job.

On the day of recording, as soon as Hangeng arrived on set, he was dragged by Show to the lounge to catch up for half-an-hour. They became good friends after filming a commercial together in Tailand last year. By night time, for dinner, Show had prepared numerous Taiwanese snacks and the two jokingly fed each other. Reporters teased Show about being too stingy, his retort was, "I didn't buy just what I liked to eat. The main point is that these have the authentic Taiwanese taste."

Singer Vivian Hsu claims career frozen for past three years

9/02/2010 02:21:00 AM kenmouse , Posted in , , 0 Comments

Taiwan singer-actress Vivian Hsu admitted in her micro blog that her career had been put on ice for past three years, reported Hong Kong media.

"Because I am 'Iron V (Vivian)', keeping me in deep freeze is useless. I can fly elsewhere to sing," Hsu said in a post dated August 28.

The singer-actress, who had recently devoted much of her time to developing her music career in Japan, went on to explain why she decided to have her say in further posts on the matter.

"I just ... wanted to answer all my fans who have asked why I have not released a Mandarin album, to give them an honest answer. I am not afraid of evil forces as I am Iron V and believe in justice.

"I don't want to make enemies of anyone. Heaven will be able to see who is of good character," she wrote.

The 35-year-old star, who had previously written the lyrics to various songs by Khalil Fong and Jay Chou, is believed to have made these statements as she did not get a chance to put out a single album with her former label Warner Music, before her contract expired in July this year.
