Posted in Dell by Conner Flynn on August 24th, 2010

Dell has been talking up the world’s lightest Android phone since way back in March, and today it officially arrives for $100 with a 2-year AT&T contract. Complete with a dated operating system that is over a year behind. (Android 1.5) And to make matters worse there’s no word on when—or if—we can expect a Froyo update.

That wouldn’t be so sad, except that otherwise its a decent phone. Some features include a 5MP camera with 8x zoom, up to 32GB microSD memory, and a 624Mhz processor on a $100 phone.

Posted in Apple by Shane McGlaun on July 29th, 2010

If you tend to buy your rigs with the minimum RAM available and upgrade alter you aren’t alone. OWC has announced that it has new RAM kits put together specifically for the newly updated iMac computers.

Free iPhone 4 Bumper Cases will cost Apple $175 million

Posted in iPhone Accessories by Conner Flynn on July 21st, 2010

Apple’s recent offer of free bumper cases for the iPhone 4 is generous. Not as generous as a well engineered phone, but still. The move will cost quite a bit. One analyst had previously speculated that a full hardware recall would set Apple back $1.5B. Apple has announced a figure that is a bit easier to swallow.

The free bumper cases for the iPhone 4 will cost the company $175 million. But one still has to ask, how does such an engineering snafu get past Apple in the first place? One wonders if they were trying to save money for some reason. This whole issue is very unlike Apple.
