All The Latest Cell Phone, Gadget and Tech News

Come September 13, a new and different Nokia phone will be hitting the U.S. market courtesy of Verizon Wireless with the expected launch of the Nokia Twist. What started out as rumors is now becoming a reality (similar to most leaks we see online these days) and will retail for $149.99 on a two year deal before rebate.

Some of the features that the Nokia Twist will be having include that of a 3.0 megapixel autofocus camera, a full QWERTY keyboard which can swivel to make the phone to a near-perfect square. The faceplates are also changeable along with other auxiliary features like a full HTML browser and a Habitat Mode Unique Display Theme and a contact light ring for contact and event notifications.

  • eBuddy Debuts on the iPhone

    Back in May, eBuddy was released mainly for the Android mobile platform. However today it makes its formal debut and compatibility to the iPhone offering a new app that will give users to ability to communicate with others using AIM, Facebook Chat, ICQ, Gtalk, Windows Live Messenger and similar communication apps.

    Actually, the eBuddy app was already at the App Store as early as last week. It was not until now when it was promoted, bringing stiff competition to the likes of Nimbuzz and fring .

    eBuddy differentiates its support for Apple’s Push Notification Service, which allows a third-party server to ping the service in order to push out notifications to your device over a persistent IP connection.

    People who want to be up to date with the latest sports scores can look to this new version of SportsTap for reliable scores when needed. And the best thing about it is that you don’t need to log on or refresh because it takes the initiative by asking you initially.

    Instead of just offering the basic choice of whether to let notifications use sounds / alerts / badges, or serving me up alerts on everything the app deems a major headline, it lets the user choose which sports, and even which teams they want to get alerts on, making it easy to follow a team.

    A great app for people who bet on scores and the die-hard fans who want to know who is winning, the SportsTap version 3.0 is the app for you. The app is now available at the App Store for free.

    People who have the Palm Pre will be glad to note that they can now be able to take control of their travel plans thanks to this new app called FlightView. FlightView allows users to take note of their flight scheduled and avoid the rush or delays when it comes to actual flight departures.

    This app should be a big help for people on the go and who hate being made to wait in cases of delays due to unseen circumstances. And if you think that is enough, wait until you check out other functionalities that include:

    • Flight status alerts give travelers immediate notification of changes to the flight – status changes, delays or cancellations. The FlightView app uses Pre notifications to update the user of status changes or delays - whether it is opened or closed - giving users the information they need to act on.
    • Interoperability with Pre’s calendar gives travelers a visual look at travel plans while guarding against double-booking appointments – flight details are viewable while the calendar shows the schedule from departure to arrival.
    • A notes field for managing all aspects of a trip, such as rental car, hotel and other reservations. Phone numbers, reservations numbers and locations are all in one easy-to-read location.

    The FlightView app is available via Pre’s on-device beta App Catalog.
