Mise à at&T Inspire 4 G jour maintenant disponible, sens 3.0 inclus

HTC has been busy trying to justify their lack of ICS on the Inspire 4 G / Desire HD to users, but that does not mean that they have entirely forgotten on the device. Owners of at & T Inspire 4 G should soon see a notification of update on their device, or if you are not willing to wait, you can download the live RU on the HTC website. As indicated on their support site, the update includes some changes:

New features:

HTC sense 3.0Task ManagerAT & T book

Patches and updates:

Call optimization improvements (less lost calls) improving safety functionalitySMS/MMS Thread - Contact display data FixBackground use improvements

Even if it is not Android 4.0, it is still a nice update. Keep in mind, if you download the RU you need HTC Sync installed and you lose all your existing data on the device. With patience, you can just wait the update OTA to arrive and don't forget to drop by the forums and let us know how things work.

Google postpones Nexus Q retail launch, will give pre-order customers a free sphere

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota

Google has postponed the consumer launch of the Nexus Q to add additional functionality. To make up for it, Google will give those who pre-ordered a Nexus Q a free device.

Here's the e-mail that just went out:

We have an important update about your Nexus Q pre-order.

When we announced Nexus Q at Google I/O, we gave away devices to attendees for an early preview. The industrial design and hardware were met with great enthusiasm. We also heard initial feedback from users that they want Nexus Q to do even more than it does today. In response, we have decided to postpone the consumer launch of Nexus Q while we work on making it even better.

To thank you for your early interest, we'd like to extend the Nexus Q preview to our pre-order customers and send you a free device. If you had other items in your order, your credit card will be charged for those items only.

Your Nexus Q will be on its way soon and you will receive a notification and tracking number from Google Play when it ships.

The Nexus Q Team

The Nexus Q, for those of you who don't have one -- which is most everyone -- is a small sphere that connects to your Google account and streams music, Youtube and movies and TV shows to a television and stereo set or bookshelf speakers. And that's all it does, though it certainly does so stylishly. The device is hackable, and folks have already gotten CyanogenMod and Android apps running from it, and XBMC has plans as well.

It was nearly a week ago that we first noticed that Google had limited new orders of the Nexus Q -- if you'd already ordered one, that was it.

Amazon Cloud Player now matches iTunes purchases and CD rips

AppId is over the quota
AppId is over the quota

Amazon Cloud Player has been updated with a bunch of new features, including some hefty new licensing deals with Sony, EMI, Universal, and Warner to beef up their music selection for sale. There's also some new ways to make sure all of the music on your computer is in line with what's being stored in the cloud, namely that 250 of your songs (even ripped or purchased iTunes music) is automatically added from Amazon in 256 Kbps audio. 

Amazon MP3 purchases — including music that customers purchased in the past — are automatically saved to Cloud Player, which means that customers have a secure backup copy of the music they buy from Amazon, free of charge.Amazon scans customers’ iTunes and Windows Media Player libraries and matches the songs on their computers to Amazon’s 20 million song catalog.  All matched songs – even music purchased from iTunes or ripped from CDs – are instantly made available in Cloud Player and are upgraded for free to high-quality 256 Kbps audio.  Music that customers have already uploaded to Cloud Player also will be upgraded.Any customer with a Kindle Fire, Android device, iPhone, iPod touch, or any web browser —and soon, a Roku streaming player or Sonos home entertainment system — can play their music anywhere.

Soon, Amazon Cloud users will be able to access their remote libraries through Sonos and Roku boxes too - a palatable option for real music junkies. Currently, Amazon Cloud offers 5 GB of free storage with plenty more available for $24.99 annually. Of course, any music you buy on Amazon doesn't count towards your storage limit, which is a nice touch. A significant change starting today is that Amazon Cloud Player and Cloud Drive will be separate storage bins and have their own subscription fees. That's not so great news for those that use the service for both tunes as well as documents, though they've lowered the Cloud Drive price to $10/year for 20 GB.  

You can get more information about signing up here, but us international folks are out of luck on this one, unfortunately. How many of y'all are already Amazon Cloud Player users? Are you happy with the experience, or is Google Music doing the job for you just fine? Would these new features get you to switch?

The update's arrival follows the launch of ICS for the international EVO 3D and HTC Raider, earlier this month.

So you've got a slightly polished up version of HTC's custom UI, in addition to standard Ice Cream Sandwich features we've become familiar with over the past eight months --

Sony Xperia Tipo tipped for August 8, British version, pricing info emerges

Earlier this week, we have heard-new Sony Xperia Tipo budget come on O2 and Orange to the United Kingdom in August, and we now have the first firm information on prices and availability. Independent retailer of UK the Carphone Warehouse is now the list of the Tipo Xperia for pre-order on a range of different pricing plans.

If you are after a network funded Tipo, you pay nothing for the handset itself, which Carphone offers on contract with O2, Vodafone, Orange, T-Mobile and Talkmobile, from £10.50 a month. Prepaid (pay-as-you-go) customers get the best deal, although as the Tipo is just £89.95 when bought with a £10 top-up your network of choice. Those who after a device without mark, fresh from Sony can choose a up for £119,95. The Tipo is due to the ship for pre-order customers from next Wednesday, 8 August.

The Xperia Tipo is a fairly basic Android phone, with a processor single-core of 800 MHz, a 3.2 inch screen and a camera 3.2MP rear. Nevertheless, it is a phone just nicely designed which runs Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich out of the box. You could certainly do much more for your 89 books and 95 pence.
