Sharp Solar Hybrid SH6230C is the first Japan mobile phone equipped with a solar cell module, which will be exported. The phone can be charged even if there is no a socket within easy reach. The SH6230C is equipped also with large 2.9-inch LCD screen, and a 5-megapixel autofocus camera. Colors are blue and white. The price is about $500.

The next important days for Verizon are: February 9, when the iPhone 4 is available for buying online and February 10, when the general market launch begins.

The new Lava A10 by Lava Mobile keeps all the characteristics of high-grade device: metallic body, 3-inch touchscreen display – IPS screen, 3.2 mega-pixel camera, Dual SIM GSM. Other features include: 3.5mm audio-jack, Expandable memory MicroSD, Bluetooth with A2DP, Yamaha PA system and Opera browser. The phone has a long battery backup powered by the 1400mAh battery .

The phone with so serious characteristics and so low price has the good chances to become a bestseller not only in India, but also in other countries.

The needs in cheap cell phones grows every day, they are used everywhere – beginning with usual calls and finishing with security systems. Unfortunately, nothing is known about the export plans of Lava Mobile.

Two recent studies illustrate the issue, which to be fair, is complicated not just by handset manufacturers but by the carriers too, who have to test them, integrate their own services, then push them out to handsets. Having said that, all handset makers have to deal with the carriers, and several manufacturers are far faster than Samsung.

Take this Computerworld research from last week, for example. Motorola’s Android phones have waited 54.5 days on average for an upgrade to Android 2.2, or Froyo. HTC handsets fare just slightly worse at a wait of 56 days. And then there are Samsung phones, which on average, wait 159 days. And some are still waiting, even as Gingerbread, or Android 2.3 has launched: Samsung’s Galaxy S devices have faced a “coming next month” upgrade path each month since September of last year.

If statistical analysis of the calendar doesn’t sway you, perhaps some basic facts will. Yesterday, PC Magazine created a chart of the top Android phones, what version of Android they shipped with, and what version of Android they currently run. It’s easy to spot which handset manufacturer is behind the others: Samsung’s entire line of Galaxy S devices is behind the curve and in a big way. The jump from Android 2.1 to 2.2 is far more significant than the next jump after that; I’m running Gingerbread (2.3) currently, and aside from a little more polish and shine, most users won’t see a difference from the prior version until developers take advantage of new under-the-hood features.

Back to T-Mobile and the new Galaxy S 4G then: If the slow Android update cycle for Samsung devices is recognized by consumers, will that play a part in the success of T-Mobile’s newest handset? I posed that question to my Twitter followers this afternoon, and here are some of the responses:

@sloanb

@KevinCTofel For the average consumer doubtful, for android fans no doubt about it. Same way I feel about Dell.

@TheBubbaTex

@KevinCTofel The two things I constantly read about Samsung – cheap plastic feel & slow-to-no updates = no Samsung for me!

@KevinCTofel It has scared me away from replacing my Nexus One with anything from Samsung.

@ohpleaseno

@KevinCTofel normals don’t care. It will sell because of the 4g branding.

There were other insightful tweets, but rather than list them all, here’s a summary for you: Early adopters and power users are leery of Samsung’s track record, but purchase decisions by newer smartphone owners won’t likely be impacted, which would be good news for T-Mobile by attracting more consumers to its fast HSPA+ network.

That’s a fair answer to the question, which may even be helped by T-Mobile announcing Thursday that its current Samsung Galaxy S phone, the Vibrant, will finally begin to see the Android 2.2 update starting tomorrow. Such news follows recent reports that Samsung was holding back the upgrade to gain more support dollars from U.S. carriers. Not so, said T-Mobile today to PC Mag, indicating that Samsung provided the update back in late November. It’s just taken until now for the operator to test and get its carrier-branded bits in the update.

Does Samsung’s history with Android updates have any impact on your decision to buy a Samsung smartphone on Google’s platform, or do you simply hope they’ll come through in the future?

As you’re probably well aware by now, iOS 4.2 (technically, iOS 4.2.1) has been released by Apple today. The update unifies iOS across the iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad for the first time. But it also comes with an annoying bug that some users are seeing.

After you update to the new OS, if you load the iPod (Music) app, you may see a message stating that your currently have “No Content” on the device. The problem is that many people do. For example, I have 7.8 gigabytes of audio on my iPhone, but after the update, none of it could be located. Luckily, there’s an easy fix.

As you can see in this Apple Discussion forum, others are having the same issue. The way to fix it is apparently to plug your iPhone back into your computer, play a song from the iPhone on your computer, and then sync. The process is very quick because it doesn’t actually have to transfer all that music again, it just makes it recognize that it’s already there. Sure enough, my content is now back.

It’s not clear if this problem is only happening to iPhones or if iPod touches and iPads are having the issue as well.

I think since the launched or released of Apple iPhone 4 every one of us waiting for iPhone 5. There are so many news or fuse coming about Apple will come to release Apple iPhone 5 in this year with new technology or elegance of interior or style but let see what come to us new when we hold the essence or feel of new iPhone 5 in our hands. But I have some great and exuberant news for the fans or lovers of Apple that Apple comes to us in new way really in this year 2011 with their most awaiting brand or product Apple iPhone 5.

The latest news comes now that the upcoming iPhone 5 will have the Dual Core Processors. We all knows that in recent times many multinational companies of Smartphones, tablets and telecommunications make the dual core or multi core processers which not only effective but also more efficient in term of performance. The latest platforms of these processors used by Nvidia, Qualcomm and Broadcomm and many still release or launch in future more soon. We also know that RIM has already embedded the Dual Core Processers in the Playbook tablet.

There is also news which confirmed by the Sources of Apple that Apple also comes with Dual Core Processors Chip in their upcoming Apple iPad 2. Apple said that it’s really enhancing the mobility of our upcoming devices or products like Apple iPhone 5 and Apple iPad 2.
