Android-running Samsung I5801 Galaxy 3 taped on video


Partial specs of the next-gen Galaxy leaked a few days back and now we get to enjoy its first appearance on video. Unlike the Galaxy S, which packs top notch features, the I5801 is positioned in a lower class and covers the bare minimum of features (in smartphone terms).
Unfortunately, the big question on the I5801 / I5800 screen resolution remains unanswered. However, as the video reveals, it seems lower than the HVGA display resolution of the I5700 Galaxy Spica.

The I5801 (a.k.a. Galaxy 3) will apparently run Android OS v2.1 a.k.a. Eclair with some TouchWiz customization on top. Reportedly, it will also pack a built-in GPS receiver, a microSD card slot, a 3.5mm audio jack and support for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth (v3.0, maybe). On the back you'll find a 3MP camera with QVGA video recording.
It's still not clear when the I5801 will be officially unveiled and how much it will cost.

The next-gen iPhone spotted again, this time in Vietnam


Another iPhone has escaped the Apple headquarters. Where is it now? Doing a photo session in Vietnam. We are sure Steve Jobs is already instructing the SWAT teams on the unmarked choppers in the backyard.
There isn't much new information revealed about the fourth generation iPhone. In fact the 16GB logo at the back is the only thing deserving a note. The previously leaked prototype has only XX, but now we are sure one there will be 16GB version of the phone.

The rest is pretty much the same but for the two missing screws at the bottom around the loudspeaker grills. Unfortunately this iPhone early prototype lacked a proper OS, so no further info could be extracted from it.

Here is the hands-on video:

Well, that's it. We don't know how the guys in Vietnam managed to get their hands on this fella, but one thing is for sure - somewhere out there Steve Jobs is very angry and prepares to strike back.

Motorola MOTOROI coming to UK, 8MP camera, 720p, Android 2.1?

The Motorola Sholes rumors flip-flopped between specs and countries, but it turns out there are several versions. One with 8MP camera and 720p video recording is coming to the UK with some other specs updates as well, compared to the South Korea-bound MOTOROI.
We've seen this specific model under quite a few different names. First, it was the Motorola Sholes Tablet in a roadmap, then the XT701 for China, then of course the MOTOROI for South Korea. They all had specs variations - in the camera department mostly.
Now, Motorola have confirmed that another variant on the XT701 / MOTOROI recipe will be coming to the UK - but with an 8MP camera rather than 5MP, while still keeping the 720p video recording and the xenon flash.

The UK version of the MOTOROI will feature a faster CPU (no specific frequency was mentioned though). Other notable features include the mini-HDMI port, Android 2.1, the MOTOBLUR interface (carriers can choose not to use it though) and faster HSPA.
The new Motorola Sholes or whatever they name it should help Motorola fight off high-end Android handsets from HTC and Sony Ericsson, which offer faster CPUs and better cameras than the Motorola MILESTONE.
