SoftBank 007SH KT Hello Kitty Android Gingerbread Phone For The Win

Chris Burns, Aug 19th 2011 Discuss [3]

Welcome to the greatest Android device on the market today. I'm only half joking, as the specs on this very gaudy looking device are certainly nothing to scoff at, and it boasts the very strange accomplishment of being the second clamshell device running Android 2.3 Gingerbread. The first was of course the AQUOS PHONE THE HYBRID 007SH, essentially the same basic components this device is built on. Yesterday we got a glimpse of the Yahoo! Android phone from Sharp AQUOS, today we get the next rebranded handset in the Hello Kitty Android flip phone. Is this just a Japanese fad, or are cross-brand re-releases of Android devices on the horizon? Read The Full Story

Yahoo Google Phone Coming Soon from Sharp

Chris Burns, Aug 18th 2011 Discuss [4]

What we're to understand we're looking at here is one strange combination of brands creating a device that's no less than completely absurd. This is a Yahoo! phone made for Japan (since Japan is still so very in love with Yahoo) and will be running on Android. You may recognize this device if you're familiar with Sharp's line of cute little phones: this one being a rebranded Sharp AQUOS smartphone in white. What the non-Google search engine group will be adding to the device is a brand new interface skin on the inside and a lovely new Yahoo! branded case on the outside - why they thought this would be an awesome idea is anyone's guess.

Chris Davies, Jun 22nd 2011 Discuss [0]

Hulu is reportedly considering selling itself, though to exactly who is currently unclear. The WSJ reported that an unnamed company had made a speculative bid for Hulu, with the LA Times later suggesting that Yahoo was the interested party. However, no meeting of the Hulu board has been held to consider any offers, and subsequent reports have poured cold water onto the idea of Yahoo being interested. Read The Full Story

Google To Invest Millions On Celebrity Youtube Channels

Rue Liu, Feb 18th 2011 Discuss [1]

The recent boom of YouTube stars may get pushed aside by established Hollywood stars. Google is looking to entice established celebrities with $5 million dollars for their own YouTube channel of original content. The money would cover salaries, production values, and the celebrity would get full ownership of the show. Google hopes to get twenty celebrity channels, which equals to a $100 million investment. They can afford the price tag by making it back quickly with the premium advertising they plan to run on the channels. The move mirrors what AOL and Yahoo are doing with personal celebrity channels, but YouTube has a much larger footprint and distribution network. Read The Full Story

Yahoo! IMAP issue affects iPhone too reveals email sniffing

Chris Davies, Feb 3rd 2011 Discuss [3]

Yahoo! wasn't happy with Microsoft blaming their email systems for the Windows Phone 7 "phantom data" bug; the company pulled out a long list of rival OSes and suggested since none of them issues it was actually Microsoft's flaky IMAP support to blame. Unfortunately it seems they can't shake responsibility quite that easily; Within Windows' Rafael - who actually figured out the original Yahoo! issue hours before Microsoft announced it - has discovered that a similar problem occurs on the iPhone, too.

Yahoo! strikes back over Windows Phone 7 email bug: Microsoft IMAP app to blame

Chris Davies, Feb 2nd 2011 Discuss [1]

Yahoo! has responded to Microsoft publicly naming & shaming them over the Windows Phone 7 phantom data bug, arguing that it's in fact a poor IMAP implementation that is at fault. In a statement to Pocket-lint, the company pointed out that "Yahoo! Mail is widely available on tens of millions of mobile phones," and that "the issue on the Windows Phones is specific to how Microsoft chose to implement IMAP for Yahoo! Mail and does not impact Yahoo! Mail on these other mobile devices." Read The Full Story
