Archos just revealed what that curtain tease was all about: the 6th Gen Archos 5, 5G and 7 series PMPs. The 4.8" flagship 5G ditches the tired interface and buttons of the Gen-5 device for a slick UI and touchscreen-only operation. It's got Wi-Fi, HD video support, web browsing, email, a huge HDD (up to 250GB), and built-in HSPDA 3G connectivity. It's also got dock connectors, GPS, DVR, video/audio recording and more. In short, it's everything that the iPod touch isn't, and I got to touch it.

Yeah, yeah, you get it: The new iPhone uses AT&T's best-in class (in NYC at least), 3G high-speed network, one that's getting faster and more spread out all the time. But there's a lot you probably didn't know about the technology involved: How fast can you really go on the thing? Why did AT&T feel the need to cap the iPhone's speed? If you want answers to these and other questions, you came to the right place.

AU: This is all very US-centric, but there are some interesting considerations that our own networks will have thought of with their release of the iPhone as well.

Engadget say they have analysed the leaked iPhone 2.0 firmware, and report 3G and GPS will be present. The HSDPA will be tri-band, meaning it will work pretty much anywhere. They also say components will include Sony antennas, 3G processors, transceivers and amplifiers, Arm 11 CPU and an UMTS on/off switch for power saving. Seems like there's less and less to doubt about iPhone 2.0. [Engadget]

Even though T-Mobile's 3G network has been up and running for a few days now in NYC, they were modest about it until just now. Fear not, folks, they talk up data plenty in the press release, though you've... Read More »

T-Mobile may be smallish in the US, but it's owned by German giant Deutsche Telekom, a company plenty powerful enough to buy up Sprint if it wanted to...and the rumour mill says it may want to. The Inquirer points... Read More »

The DreamCom 10 laptop is a pretty standard intel-based computer (featuring UMTS/HSDPA) with one identifiable trick up its sleeve—the ability to transform into multiple configurations for improved user comfort. With an expandable neck and an attachable dock allowing for a tipi-like biped stance, we're guessing the design is far less hunchback-inducing than our standard laptop. And if it's tough enough to withstand us bending the hell out of the hinges before we figure out all of its modes, the DreamCon 10 has some potential. [dreamcom via crunchgear]
