Vodafone’s 2008 roadmap gets outed, new BlackBerry included
Posted on 2008 under Other Gadgets | No Comment
Boy Genius Report has seemingly scooped up a healthy portion of Voda’s ‘08 roadmap here, and with it a host of unannounced devices from various manufacturers. Here’s one we kinda expected at this point: a new BlackBerry previously spotted via a shady eBay auction, once thought to be a member of the upcoming 9000 series but identified here as an “8XXX” — in other words, either RIM or Voda hasn’t quite decided yet how to shoehorn it into the 8000 series lineup. Projected launch (on Voda, anyway — other carriers may vary) is May of this year, bringing quadband EDGE, triband 3.6Mbps HSDPA, a 480 x 320 display, 2 megapixel cam, GPS, WiFi, and a whoppin’ 624MHz core to “senior executives” across the land (Vodafone’s words, not ours). These guys are getting better at making slick looking devices with every iteration, are they not?
Another day CES, another clock radio that revolves around Apple’s darling. This go ’round, we’ve got Cue Acoustics getting into the exceedingly oversaturated market with its simply-titled Cue Radio. As you can probably glean from its name, this “high-end” device packs an AM / FM radio, an integrated speaker, LCD display, a simplistic, presumably Cupertino-approved design and an obligatory iPod dock on the top. Sadly, we’ve no details regarding price / availability, but it’s not like you don’t already have eight perfectly suitable alternatives scattered about your domicile.
