HTC 7 Pro gets FCC approval

Posted in HTC by Conner Flynn on October 25th, 2010

HTC has another smartphone device that has just received the approval of the FCC. The HTC 7 Pro will run on Windows Phone 7, targeting CDMA networks. That’s why the name is 7 Pro. We should have expected it, since Microsoft has mentioned that CDMA will not be available until the first half of 2011.

This FCC-approved model looks like it will be accompanied by Wi-Fi N and Bluetooth + EDR connectivity. Which carrier do you think the HTC 7 Pro will appear on?

Nintendo Wii gets American Heart Association’s approval

Posted in Wii by Conner Flynn on May 17th, 2010

We had heard that Nintendo and the American Heart Association would be making an announcement today. Naturally we thought that it was regarding Nintendo’s Vitality Sensor. Turns out that it was about something else entirely. The AHA has announced that it’s giving its stamp of approval to the Wii.

Wii Fit Plus and Wii Sports Resort too. That’s a big first for a video game console and as ABC News points out, the association hasn’t seen fit to put its seal on other “active” things like baseball bats. It had a good reason to do so in this case, however, as the organization says it will be receiving $1.5 million from Nintendo over three years as a result of the partnership.
