Found under: Nokia , CEO , Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo , , This is not the first time we hear that Olli-Pekka Kallasvuo the CEO of Nokia is going to be axed and replace with someone else but theres nothing officially official just yet. The Finnish company is having a very hard time keeping up with competitors and by competitors I mean the iPhone and Android right now. Symbian3 smartphones are coming only later this year and they might not have enough punch to bring Nokia back in the smartphone business. According to the Wall Street Journa Read More Read more in mobile format

According to some sources speaking with Engadget , it looks like Verizon is moving right ahead with their 4G plans, and sticking right to their schedule. The new report suggests that on November 15th, Verizon will flip the proverbial switch on their Long Term Evolution (LTE) network, and give up to 30 markets access to the next level of data speeds. Sure, that means you’ll have to wait until the end of the year (pretty much) before you get to experience 4G speeds on the Verizon network, but at least it’s better than nothing. Along with the launch, Verizon is supposedly bringing two data cards into the fold as well. There’s no mention of what kind of handsets we should expect to see, unfortunately, and for many folks out there, that’s the icing on the cake.

This isn’t looking too good. First screen issues , and now delays? According to Verizon’s website, all new orders of the DROID X won’t ship until August 3rd. Same thing happened to the DROID Incredible when it launched, so it’s definitely an interesting scenario. I called a few of my local Verizon stores, and most of them were sold out.

Sure, Google may not be selling it directly for much longer , but you can and will still be able to buy a Nexus One from Vodafone, in certain European markets. However, the Nexus Ones that were bought from Vodafone are still stuck on Android 2.1 right now, even if Google officially released Android 2.2 Froyo for the Nexus One a good while ago. Vodafone has announced that it will right this wrong during next week. The roll out will be over the air, but will not go to all phones at the same time, so as always with these things, be patient. If you’re wondering why it took so long, the reason is that Vodafone apparently couldn’t help tweaking things here and there in Google’s new OS.

I normally hate traveling for work; juggling a computer, work files, ebook reader, etc. is a pain. However, now that I’ve been trying the Mobile Edge Evo Backpack for a few weeks, I wish I traveled more often so I could use a bag like this! My first impression of the Evo backpack was that it was a complete beast of a bag. It seemed physically large, but when I put it on it didn’t feel as big

Apple has announced its 3rd quarter earnings. And, once again, the tech giant beat the street. On Tuesday after the close of trading on Wall Street, the Cupertino-based technology juggernaut blew consensus estimates out of the water (which had previously forecast 3Q earnings of $14.75 billion) with actual earnings totaling $15.74 billion. The company’s Q4 revenue guidance comes in at $18 billion vs.

A brewing free-speech debate touched off by a lost prototype of Apple’s iPhone has ended quietly with a blogger’s agreement to cooperate with investigators. Thomas J Nolan Jr, a lawyer for Jason Chen of Gizmodo.com, said Monday that technology website agreed to the deal with prosecutors to resolve the case as quickly as possible. A judge on Friday ordered a search warrant withdrawn and seized items returned to Chen. The website posted images in April of a prototype iPhone left in a Redwood City bar by an Apple employee. Gizmodo said it paid money for the phone

With LBS startups and the art of “checking in” still evolving as a brand new concept, some are already speculating that an entirely new breed of location-based social networking will replace it, effectively making the concept as we know it all but obsolete. Though that may sound over the top, it’s exactly the opinion of Mark Cuban, who recently posted on his blog about a new company he’s just invested in that’s building the “next generation” of LBS social networking.  The idea is centered around facial recognition and real-time video imagery of specific locations, so instead of checking in, the next iteration of LBS apps would already know you’re there. “I just invested in a company that takes video of an area and can tell you exactly how many people are in the capture area at any given time,” said Cuban in his post.  ”It’s great for traffic patterns, security, and much more.  We are posting cameras in certain environments where anonymity is required, and we don’t and won’t capture faces or anything that could identify an individual.  We will simply provide incredibly accurate traffic information and patterns

With both of Nokia’s chosen OS’s for their mid and high range handsets being open sourced, it means that a lot of the work and development on these aspects of the OS is done very much in the open and can be accessed with as little effort as it’d take to register for a forum for example. While this access to *some* elements of the OS can be had well in advance of release, the main reason for Nokia’s drive for open source in my humble opinion is to get input and ideas from a wide variety of people with different perceptions, needs, wants, interests and backgrounds. Much more input than would have been possible within the confines of an office in Finland or the UK for example. Having posted numerous videos and blog posts on Symbian and MeeGo, the coming changes with regards to their UI’s and capabilities etc and received valid and valued feedback, I thought it important to get this message across to our few (but vocal) readers

Section: Communications , Cellphones , Cellular Providers , Smartphones , Mobile Verizon officially released the Motorola Droid X back on July 15th , which means it has not even been available for a full week yet. Of course, the lack of time does not mean much in terms of issues and complaints—of which the message boards seem to be filling up with Droid X users complaining of display problems.

Well, it’s about that time of the year. And, while Apple’s busy releasing all sorts of hit products like the iPad and iPhone 4, it’s about time to figure out how much they’ve actually made over the last few months. Today, Apple finally unveiled their official third quarter results, which equals one full quarter with the iPad out in the world. And, believe us when we say that the iPad’s made a big dent in the market (and a very good bulge in Apple’s wallet)

Apple’s been getting a little bit of bad press lately, but it clearly isn’t hurting their bottom line. In a press release today, the Cupertino company announced earnings for Q3 2010 ending on June 26th… and they’re impressive. The company posted revenue of $15.7 billion for the quarter with earnings per diluted share coming in at a blistering $3.51; up from $2.01/share in Q3 of last year. The company’s gross margin was 39.1% (compared to 40.9% from a year ago), and international sales accounted for 52% of the company’s quarterly revenue.

Brightkite has been known to experiment with badges for its location-based social networking service, but besides a partnership with Starbucks, has been dormant on the topic- until now. The startup has introduced levels to its badges, based on a variety of check-ins and other social functions, like uploading photos.  For example, if you use Brightkite’s mobile website or one of their mobile apps to post 10 photos, you’ll earn a ‘Slick pic’ badge at level 1

At Apple’s iPhone 4 press conference last week, they were kind enough to spill the beans on how many iPhone 4s had sold since launch: roughly 3 million . What they didn’t share, however, was how many total iPhones they’d sold lately — that number, said Apple COO Tim Cook would be coming in their upcoming financial reports. The report for fiscal quarter three (which runs from April 1st to June 26th) is here, and the grand total is.
