Who’s getting fired for this? A poster showing the Nokia X6 and Nokia 5230 running Android was spotted on Oxford Street in London. The ad was for Three Mobile. It’s definitely a marketing error because Nokia recently said there were no plans to use Android with their devices. I hope you didn’t get your hopes up.

The ad was spotted by Maurico Reyes, who uploaded it on his Posterousaccount. While I wouldn’t mind playing with a Nokia device running Android, the head of Mobile Solutions for Nokia, Anssi Vanjoki, already confirmed, “despite rumors to the contrary, there are no plans to introduce an Android device from Nokia.”

Go ahead and stare the user interface of the Windows Phone 7 deserves it. That’s the reaction we got at Mobile World Conference in Barcelona when we revealed this new holistic design system that brings together form and function based on key principles — informing every aspect of the phone. See what everyone is talking about by checking out this video.

Its finally Official, Apple have announced the iPhone 4 (what a surprise).  Images below courtesy of EnGadget and CNET…  Stay tuned in with Negri Electronics for more details and pricing when available…

“So I called around, and I now believe this is an actual unit from Apple — a unit Apple is very interested in getting back.”

Also, this phone runs apple iphone OS 4.0 plus it has a micro sim card found on the apple ipad tablet

The potential downfall of android

Android as we know, is made by google and is on the 4 biggest wireless carriers in the US, not to mention all the unlocked phones you can get ( well only if your on AT&T or T-mobile). the are phones that have stock android and the other ones (more on that later). Android has come far from 1.x now to 2.1. there have been a lot of phones that came out since then like the htc hero or the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10i . What do those phones have in common? 2 things really. For one, they both android phones. 2, they have a skinned UI. If you don’t know, UI stands for user interface. When you break it down, yes they do have android but most of the time, you are using the skinned UI. When you think of windows mobile, you think, of acer, hp, htc, i-mate, lg, motorola, palm, pantech, pharos, and samsung. When you think of all those phone makers, most of them have there own custom UI, but some of then have stock windows mobile. The phones that have windows mobile have horrible specs like a bar keyboard or a touchscreen that is off point. What i am trying to say is that with all the carriers that got to play with windows mobile and spin it off their way, most of the time it turned out horrible and they kept doing it over and over and over with every update to windows mobile. I think that is one of the reasons that microsoft is changing from windows mobile to windows phone 7. Android is going in the same direction as windows mobile, phone companies skin there custom UI onto stock android, they are destroying android. it come to the same fate of windows mobile did… most of everybody will come to hate it.

Today apple announdec some detials for the new Apple iPhone OS.  This new OS will get multi-tasking, CEO Steve Jobs and his crew showed 12 apps running at the same time. In addition, Apple is touting services including background audio and voice over IP.  Stayed tuned for more iPhone news in the near future.
