Sony Ericsson's run of ill fortune doesn't seem to be over yet with their CFO announcing that the manufacturer needs 100 million euros to keep its head above the water. Sony Ericsson has seen its fortunes take a tumble recently with sales down 50% in the first quarter of this year and the global economic crisis and falling consumer demand won't help matters improve. The 100 million euros needs to be raised before the end of the fiscal year (March 2010) and Sony Ericsson are reported to be looking at various options to raise the money.

New iPhone: Specs Revealed?    [ 20-05-2009 00:11 ]

Author: Klimov Oleg   Source: Apple iPhone Apps via Mobiwoo     Translation by: Administrator     

iPhone rumours gathered pace today with a blog called 'Apple iPhone Apps' claiming that an Apple insider had given them information, specifically the specs and release date, of the rumoured new iPhone. The specs the source allegedly outlined aren't mind blowing, but they are consistent with previous rumours and speculation. If these specs turn out to be true then it would mark more of an incremental upgrade for the iPhone rather than a revolutionary leap forward, at least in terms of hardware. The camera in particular would appear to be taking little more than a baby step if it moves from 2 MP to 3.2 MP in a market where the high-end standard is now 8 MP. As for a release date the source claimed that the new iPhone would be released on 17th July, again a very plausible sounding piece of information.

Here we have the source's alleged specs for the new device:

• Price stays at $199 and $299
• Storage 32GB and 16GB
• 3.2-megapixel camera with video recording and editing
• Send a picture & video via MMS
• OLED touchscreen
• FM transmitter
• Built-in compass
• Battery life 1.5 times current models
• Twice the RAM and processing power
• No metal band around the edge of the device
• Apple logo on the back will glow
• Rubber-tread backing
• Sleeker design
• Geo-tagging using Google maps
• Turn-by-turn directions
