Hasta La Gadget!

Apple has recently been issued their pen computer patent, although this time around, the reissued patent would throw in the likes of cellular connectivity in order to help it keep up with the Joneses, while dropping hints of a future mobile device from the house of Cupertino. This patent was originally filed for internationally 15 years ago, where it was described as “a mobile computer encased in a pen”. Titled “Portable computers,” the invention was assigned to British Telecommunications PLC originally, where this multifunction device will feature a pair of accelerometers that allowed it to recognize handwritten input, while there is also an integrated display and an embedded touch strip for a graphical user interface when it came to navigation.

Apple was transferred the U.S. patent rights just half a decade ago, and this time around, the patent carries the reissued designation of RE44,103, which will further broaden the patent language of the original filing. Even if this unique pen computer were to be released, I am quite sure that it will not function as an iPhone replacement, how about you?

Lenovo has just expanded their All In One (AIO) portfolio with the latest addition to their family, the Lenovo ThinkCentre Edge 62z which is said to be a good fit for not only small workspaces, but equally small budgets, too, without having to compromise on performance and capability. The Lenovo ThinkCentre Edge 62z comes with an 18.5-inch LCD display, which should be more than enough for the average computer user who does not indulge in graphic design, while being equally at home at nursing stations and school computer labs, where space is a premium.

Prices start from $549 onwards, which means it should not be too hard to scrounge together some money to purchase a computer if you are in need of one. Talk about value in a compact form factor! You will find that the ThinkCentre Edge 62z will come with up to 3rd generation Intel Core i3 processors, half a dozen USB 2.0 ports and Integrated Intel HD graphics. Expect the Lenovo ThinkCentre Edge 62z all-in-one PC to arrive in markets from the beginning of May onwards. [Press Release]

You know what they say about Murphy’s Law – anything that can go wrong, will go wrong, or something to that effect. Well, when it comes to a social network like Facebook, we would have more or less expected it to function the way it should, that is, being bug-free and all after all this while of fine tuning. Apparently not, as Murphy’s Law decides to drop by the world’s largest and most popular social network, where a new bug actually temporarily reset Like counts and comment threads on sites that carry its now ubiquitous Like buttons and Comments plug-in.

It is good to know, however, that this is but a temporary situation, as all Like counts as well as comments ought to be restored to the original or most recent state once Facebook has finalized a fix. This particular Facebook comments bug happened on March 25th in the afternoon, according to certain websites, where the majority of those sites had not www URL prefix. Well, all’s well that ends well, I suppose.

T-Mobile has just announced that it will be launching its iPhone devices from the get-go. You will be able to purchase an iPhone 5 for a $99.99 down payment and $20 payments over the course of 24 months. You can also get the iPhone 4S for a $69.99 down payment and $20 payments over 24 months, or the iPhone 4 for a $14.00 down payment and $15 payments over 24 months. Those of you planning on getting the iPhone 5 on T-Mobile will be getting an extra treat.

Those of you with T-Mobile’s iPhone 5 will be able to take advantage of T-Mobile’s HD Voice calls. T-Mobile will be the only major carrier to offer HD Voice calls on the iPhone 5, something that can set it apart from the rest of the competition. With HD Voice calls, you will have “crystal-clear high-definition calling and significantly reduced background noise” when making a phone call to someone else with an HD Voice-capable phone.

T-Mobile launched HD Voice on January 8th during CES. The service uses Wideband Adaptive Multi-Rate (WB-AMR) to improve voice calls between two compatible phones. Currently the phones that support HD Voice calling are T-Mobile’s iPhone 5, Samsung Galaxy S III, HTC One, and Nokia Astound. Calls have to be made either through T-Mobile’s 3G, 4G HSPA+, or 4G LTE network. HD Voice calls cannot be made over WiFi.

The iPhone 5 will be able to fully take advantage of HD Voice calls now that T-Mobile’s LTE networks are launching today. So far, Phoenix and San Jose have already gotten their T-Mobile 4G LTE networks launched, but later on today, we should be seeing Baltimore, Houston, Kansas City, Las Vegas, and Washington D.C. light up with T-Mobile’s LTE network as well. Check out our timeline below to see what other great announcements T-Mobile has made.

Also be sure to have a look at our full iPhone 5 review right this minute and get pumped up about the full release of the T-Mobile edition now!
