$10/£5 handset by Hop-on [ 27-05-2008 16:18 ]

Author: Irina Turina Source: Pocket-lint Translation by: Administrator

Handset maker Hop-on have showed off a new ultra-cheap handset, which will retail for $10/£5. The Hop1800 is a display-less handset (hence the low price), which comes in two dual-band flavours - 850/1900MHz and 900/1800MHz bands.

It has a weight of 77 grams, offers approximately four hours of talk-time, and 150 hours on standby. And it features polyphonic ringtones too. Because of the low price of the handset, Hop-on offers a $5 rebate if you return it to them directly after use to encourage recycling the phone.

Apple patents solar cells [ 27-05-2008 15:00 ]

Author: Serge Novikov Source: Engadget Mobile Translation by: Administrator

Apple has filed a new patent – known as Solar cells on portable devices. Clearly, they hope to integrate them into small devices, such as iPods and iPhones. Judging by what the application says, Apple wants to cover the device in question in a layer of solar cells. Should this come to fruition, it would certainly extend battery life to no end, especially on devices using 3G and Wi-Fi.

However, it is not all good news, there are a few challenges to be had – limited space for the solar panels, effectively wasting the space on portable devices. Perhaps most interestingly, is putting the solar panels behind the screen – the panel would take in ambient light, which passes through the screen, potentially eliminating any additional energy that solar panels tend to use.

Nokia to allow phone-to-phone transfers of N-Gage games [ 27-05-2008 15:00 ]

Author: Irina Turina Source: Pocket-lint Translation by: Administrator

Last week, it was thought that N-Gage games would not be transferable to another phone, should a person buy a new handset. That certainly caused some uproar between users. However, today, that announcement has been overturned. Nokia put it down to "A miscommunication is blamed for users not being told". It is currently unknown when this will be put in place, but it shouldn't be too far off of the horizon.
