The Huawei Ideos does everything right to create a cheap phone with plenty of smarts. It's not going to take on the big, beautiful Samsung Galaxy S , but it's got an even newer version of Android and should only cost about £100 on pay as you go. We'll take ten! The Ideos isn't in shops yet, and since Huawei isn't a well-known brand here, it will probably get renamed by the network that brings it to the UK. It should still be called the Ideos, though, so look for it on pay as you go for between £99 and £129. All the Android Huawei says it worked closely with Google to make the Ideos, which is evident in the Google logo that graces the back of the phone. This phone is pure Android 2.2 Froyo , the latest version of Google's operating system. That means you have all the latest features, except one -- there's no Flash on the Ideos. It just doesn't have the processing power to support Flash, sadly. But it does have all the rest of the goodies t...

Many thanks to all my friends from Malaysia, Indonesia, England & all over the world for hundreds of nonstop wishes via tweets, fb's, skypes, im & smses. I'm happy & very appreciated it.

We were given so many prizes We changed the desert into oasis We built buildings of different lengths and sizes And we felt so very satisfied We bought and bought We couldn't stop buying We gave charity to the poor 'cause We couldn't stand their crying We thought we paid our dues But in fact To ourselves we're just lying Oh...I'm walking with my head lowered in shame from my place I'm walking with my head lowered from my race Yes it's easy to blame everything on the west When in fact all focus should be on ourselves We were told what to buy and we'd bought We went to London, Paris and Costa Del Sol We made show we were seen in the most exlusive shops Yes we felt so very satisfied We felt our money gave us infinite power We forgot to teach our children about history and honor We didn't have any time to lose When we were.. (were) So busy feeling so satisfied I'm walking with my head lowered in shame from my place I...

HTC, Motorola, Acer and Asus are set to show off Android 3.0 Gingerbread tablets at the Las Vegas CES trade show in January next year, according to a report from Taiwanese website Digitimes. According to the source, we should also see a Gingerbread version of the Samsung Galaxy Tab in the new year. Google has just notified partners that Android 3.0 will soon be completed, with related engineer samples showing up in December. Although the Galaxy Tab and a plethora of other slates will reach us in November with Android 2.1 and 2.2, Android 3.0 is already being earmarked as the version that could really show what these devices are capable of. LG has already killed off plans to make a Froyo tablet in favour of releasing one with Gingerbread, while we are now fully expecting Motorola to come out with some sort of Droid Terminator super phone early next year. We had a quick taste of what Gingerbread could offer us yesterday -- a graphical overhaul, hardware acceleration and video cha...

It seems like a long time since Apple's iPad propelled tablets headfirst into the mainstream consciousness. In fact, it was released in the UK only five months ago. Since then, we've been bracing ourselves for the inevitable tsunami of rival tablets from other manufacturers. The first offering to appear on the crest of that mighty wave is the Samsung Galaxy Tab, which runs version 2.2 of Google's Android operating system. The Tab will be released on 1 November. Pricing for the Tab, which will come in 16GB and 32GB versions, is far from certain, but Carphone Warehouse is offering a model with unspecified memory for £530 unlocked and SIM-free, or £500 on a contract with TalkMobile, as part of which you'll pay £10 per month for 1GB of data on a 30-day rolling contract. By way of comparison, the 16GB iPad with 3G and Wi-Fi costs £530. Can the Tab duff the iPad up good and proper? Let's find out. Lucky number seven Measuring 120 by 191 by 12mm, Samsung's 7-inch t...
