The tech parade begins now. Kicking off your Monday right it’s time for your US Update. Today we’ve got you covered with the latest on the Sony Ericsson Xperia duo, Huawei’s new 7-inch MediaPad, the Nintendo 3DS TV service launch, Oracle’s lawsuit against Google and more.
The Xperia duo is twice as nice. A leaked image of the Sony Ericsson Xperia duo surfaced this morning, confirming its status as company’s first dual-core smartphone. There’s a massive 4.3-inch edge-to-edge display, 16-megapixel Exmor R sensor and even “Facebook inside Xperia integration”. What’s not to love?
The 7-inch MediaPad from Huawei we announced last week is now official. We’ve got the full specs and new details on why Android 3.2 is the only OS designed for smaller tablets. The Nintendo 3DS TV service will launch in Japan tomorrow via a new app from the Nintendo eShop. To commemorate the launch, Fuji Television and Nippon Television will be producing content specifically for the console.
Oracle has put a price on the Google’s alleged patent infringements as a result of using Java in the Android OS. The price is $6.1 billion, a cost which could potentially knock Google out of the mobile market. Last up this morning is the HP Opal. This 7-inch webOS slate was mentioned directly on HP’s website as a compatible device for webOS featured apps. We’ve got the screenshot to prove it.
That wraps up the latest and greatest in the fine world of tech news. As always I’m Nick Marshall and I’ll see you again tomorrow.
