BlackBerry Laguna for Verizon specs leaked

post from Ubergizmo on 01 October 2012 02:55:20 AM. © Ubergizmo

There is nothing quite like a hardware specifications leak to drum up additional interest on a particular device, and it would be on par with that of an image leak, of course. We do know that RIM just afforded themselves a little bit of breathing room with the kind of optimism that surrounds the BlackBerry 10 operating system which is due to be released soon, and one of the more recent leaks would be the BlackBerry Laguna that is headed for Verizon Wireless, where it does seem to be the CDMA version of the BlackBerry London.

The leaked specifications sheet point out that the BlackBerry Laguna will come with a 4.2? display with a rather non-standard 1280 x 768 resolution, which will be accompanied by a rather impressive pixel density of 355ppi. Underneath the hood, you will find a dual-core Krait processor, 1GB RAM, LTE support, dual-band Wi-Fi a/b/g/n with mobile hot-spot and Wi-Fi direct, NFC and a microHDMI port. An 8-megapixel camera that does Full HD video is also thrown into the mix, in addition to 16GB of internal memory and a microSD memory card slot to boot. Drooling already?

Iran: No love lost for Gmail block

post from Ubergizmo on 01 October 2012 01:47:01 AM. © Ubergizmo

Remember our story just last week on how Iran blocked Google as well as Gmail, while lining up the very real possibility of rolling out their very own domestic Internet system? Well, that kind of move certainly did not win people over in Iran, as complaints from the general public have been nothing short of scathing, as Iran has her fair share of highly educated and tech-savvy population who will definitely not fall in love with browsers that were programmed by in-house (or should we say, in-country) programmers? Not only that, there is also the political and economic fallout to consider when closing off access to hugely popular sites like Gmail.

Hussein Garrousi, a member of a parliamentary committee on industry, said, “Some problems have emerged through the blocking of Gmail.? What did he mean by that? Well, a fair number of lawmakers were apparently angry about missing their emails. Even the press are complaining about their email access, and when you anger the press, nothing good usually comes out of that, right?

iPhone 5 Wi-Fi network data bug fix rolled out

post from Ubergizmo on 01 October 2012 01:45:34 AM. © Ubergizmo

We have heard of the newly introduced iPhone 5 experiencing Wi-Fi connectivity issues in the past, and it seems that not all is hunky dory from that aspect from everyone. Well, there also seems to be a bug which enabled the iPhone 5 (from Verizon Wireless) to actually consume cellular data even though it is connected to a Wi-Fi network. That does not quite make much sense, does it? Yeah, after giving your head a good scratch, this is the skinny on the situation. It seemed that there is a bug on some iPhone 5 handsets on Verizon Wireless’ network that actually consumed precious cellular data while hooked up to a Wi-Fi network, which would translate to the unnecessary depletion of users’ precious data minutes.

Apple has encouraged Verizon users perform the instructions found here in order to install an update that will fix this bug. Hopefully, for good, too. Are you a Verizon Wireless subscriber with a new iPhone 5 who suffered from this bug, and are peeved about it? For those who have applied the update and performed the necessary, how is your iPhone 5 Wi-Fi experience now?

ASUS denies rumor of $99 Google Nexus tablet

Last week thanks to a rumor, it was suggested that Google could be looking to release a new Nexus tablet, one that will be priced at a very affordable $99. Given that Google and ASUS collaborated on the Nexus 7, the report by Digitimes suggested that this $99 Nexus tablet could be the result of yet another Google and ASUS collaboration. Well if you were looking forward to a super cheap Google tablet, you might be disappointed to learn that ASUS has come forward to Digitimes and denied those rumors. Now Digitimes has had a pretty spotty record when it comes to the rumor mill, landing some pretty accurate ones while coming out swinging with some pretty far out ones as well. We could read more into this denial but for now, it seems that if you wanted a $99 Android tablet, you will have to look elsewhere. In the meantime we will be keeping our eyes out for more next-gen Nexus tablet news so check back with us later for more updates!
