Ah, the power of speed. Today, Three announced the Huawei E586 MiFi. As the first mobile Wi-Fi device in the UK to support HSPA+ mobile broadband technology, the E586 MiFi will be able to ride Three’s upgraded 21.1Mbps network later this year. Upload speeds are set at 5.76 Mbps (HSUPA) and this bad boy even has a microSD card slot which supports up to 32GB cards.
Beyond the blistering fast speeds and storage options, the Huawei E586 MiFi has a horde of other features. Firstly, there’s an OLED display on the front of the unit which displays key information like the amount of data used, speed of the current connection, length of browsing time and dashboard for viewing SMS and changing settings. Compared to other MiFi units, the display alone is enough to win our hearts.
The second generation iPad, iPad 2, will be released in the first quarter of 2011. The updated display is rumored to run at Retina resolution, but it will not feature OLED display technology. Samsung Mobile Display, which currently holds 98 percent of the OLED market simply, can’t deliver the number of panels Apple requires.
OLED TVs have had us cooing for years, but they’ve always been tiny and expensive. Now LG has solved one of those problems, showing off a 31 inch OLED TV which will hit stores in March 2011. Finally, OLED is big enough for the living room. The only downside is it’ll cost around £6,000 to get it there.
The LG OLED TV we’ve been checking out at tradeshows for the last year and a half is finally getting a UK release, the South Korean giant has confirmed. Sony’s teeny tiny XEL-1 is getting an OLED rival, and the good news is this one’s destined to be a whole lot cheaper.
