Samsung’s 8-megapixel INNOV8 i8510 handset, announced back in July with European 3G bands , has just been approved by the FCC with AT&T-friendly 850/1900MHz network support. Cleared under the model number i8510M, the S60 device could be available as soon as the first-half of 2009, bringing with it WiFi b/g, A-GPS, Bluetooth 2.0 and all manner of impressive camera optics.
Details of a new MiTAC/GETAC smartphone have emerged, courtesy of the FCC, complete with GPS, WiFi and Microsoft’s Windows Mobile OS. The PS535F has a ruggedized casing and a touchscreen of unspecified size, together with a number of rubber-clad buttons; it’s likely intended for industrial or field-use.
Casio are preparing to release another Exilim cameraphone in the US, the NX-9250, most likely through carrier Verizon. The handset, which has just been approved by the FCC, is a dualband CDMA (800/1900MHz) device with EVDO Rev. A support.
Details of what appears to be the successor to the T-Mobile Shadow have been published on the FCC website. The smartphone, made by HTC, now runs Windows Mobile 6.1 and has a faster processor; otherwise the feature set is very similar to the existing device, with a 2.4-inch QVGA touchscreen, scroll-wheel and slide-out 20-button keyboard.
Sony have received FCC approval for a WiFi, Bluetooth, EVDO and HSPA equipped “notebook PC” that, going by the accompanying photo, looks to be the company’s much-rumored netbook. The device, described as both the PCG-1P1L and PCG-1P2L, uses the Qualcomm Gobi WLAN chipset, and measures approximately 9.5 x 4.5-inches.
The NetGear Digital Entertainer Elite network has been spotted at the FCC. This media streaming device is going to launch in the near future and it is truly next-gen. It can decode all sorts of high-definition files, which is most certainly impressive.
Prepare for the second-coming of the Samsung femtocell, last seen on the SlashGear test bench as the Sprint AIRAVE and now, revealed courtesy of the FCC, coming in a new Darth-style suit to Verizon Wireless. Despite cosmetic changes, the principle is the same: plug the femtocell into your broadband connection and it creates its own little bubble of CDMA coverage, within which your Verizon cellphone is king.
We’ve been hearing about the switch to all digital TV for quite some time now. There’s also been plenty of ads warning us that we need to get a converter box in order to receive TV signals after February 17, 2009.
If you currently have cable, you don’t have to do anything, but if not, you’ll need a DTV box. Most people know this by now. However, an FCC official is now saying the transition will not go as smoothly as everyone had previously hoped.
Fujitsu’s ST6010/ST6012 Tablet PC has reached the FCC for the usual round of wireless testing and mediocre photography. The pen-enabled slate at least got a room with a view, as opposed to other pictures we’ve seen. As well as certification, we now have access to the ST6010’s user manual, revealing that the PC is more of an evolution of the previous model than a revolution.
Lenovo’s upcoming ThinkPad X200t, the Tablet PC version of the ThinkPad X200 ultraportable, has shown up on the FCC website. Although the report is merely certifying the notebook, not testing it – and as such lacks any of the low-res photos we’ve come to love the FCC for – it does confirm that the Tablet PC is in the pipeline and that it will have integrated UWB.
