Hasta La Gadget!

This week’s CTIA festivities aren’t the same since Samsung and Google decided to postpone their new product announcement that was originally scheduled for today, but now we’re hearing the Ice Cream Sandwich / Nexus party has already been rescheduled. An inside source tells us the two have moved their plans for the Unpacked event to October 19th in Hong Kong (interested US residents should clear out the evening of Tuesday the 18th, time zones), timed to coincide with the AsiaD: All Things Digital event there next week. Naturally, we’ll be in the house, but with not long to go before the potential date, we’d expect to hear something concrete soon.

The key new feature in Office 2007 is the Ribbon which is designed to eliminate the need for the standard toolbars. However, in doing so the Ribbon also takes up much more screen space then the toolbars did, in fact, you could probably stack three toolbars on top of each other in Office 2003 and it will equal the screen space that the Ribbon occupies. The Office 2007 UI lead program manager said that this was the primary complaint with beta testers and reviewers. The upcoming Technical Refresh of Office 2007 Beta 2 will include some improvements and a slightly slimmer Ribbon is expected although many details have not been revealed.

There are currently three different ways that you can minimize the ribbon which many people have not been informed about. You can either press Ctrl+F1, right-click on the Ribbon and select “Minimize the Ribbon”, or double-click on the selected tab. A new auto-minimize feature, which had been removed from Office 2007, will be making a comeback. It is know as the Menu Tabs tool and whenever you left-click on a tab in the Ribbon it will pop-up with the contents of the tab. When the user clicks away or finishes what they are doing it will automatically hide itself. There is a movie available (WMV format) for those people who want to see this in action.

I am excited to see what new changes they will do to the Ribbon. They have already included a new Silver theme (pictured above) which is a mix between the kinda pastel blue and the dark black. I definitely like the new theme the best and a slimmer Ribbon would be a great addition!

CTIA Enterprise & Applications 2011 has blessed us with a 7-inch tablet by the name of the T-Mobile Springboard. Similar in look and feel to the HTC Flyer, this Huawei-made slate is just as easy to hold, though it’s completely sans a fancy pen. The device has a 1.2GHz dual-core CPU, runs on the latest version of Honeycomb (Android 3.2), and offers a 5MP rear camera with a 1.3MP front-facing shooter. We couldn’t get any confirmation on pricing or availability, aside from being told to expect the Springboard sometime during the holiday season. That may not narrow the timeframe down as much as we’d like, but at least you know it’s an idea for that holiday wish list you’ve been trying to put together. Head below for a full smorgasbord of pictures and a hands-on video.

Update: We were informed by T-Mobile at this evening’s media event that the Springboard will debut for under $200, though no additional solid information is available yet.
