Back in December 2013, BlackBerry and Foxconn announced a partnership in which it would see Foxconn help BlackBerry manufacture some of their phones. Now the good news is that if you were wondering how long it would take for you to see the fruit of their efforts, it seems that you might not have to wait too long. According to Terry Guo, the chairman of Hon Hai also known as Foxconn, it looks like the first BlackBerry-Foxconn handset will be making its debut at MWC 2014.  According to Guo, “We are working with them to design a new device, and we will showcase multiple devices at the trade show in Barcelona in February.”

Unfortunately the specifics of said device was not revealed by Guo, although many speculate that it could be the BlackBerry Jakarta, a low-end BlackBerry device that interestingly enough will not sport a physical keyboard, but a full touchscreen display, thus making it a low-cost alternative for customers looking for a touchscreen smartphone on the cheap. On a side-note it is interesting that Guo mentions “multiple devices”. We’re not sure if he means multiple BlackBerry devices, or multiple devices manufactured by Foxconn which could imply Firefox OS devices as well. Either way we guess we will know more come MWC 2014, so check back with us then for the details.

We have been hearing rumors about a possible Sony NEX-7 successor for a while now, although when exactly will the camera actually be made a reality remains to be seen. In any case according to the latest rumors from Sony Alpha Rumors, it has been suggested that Sony could be looking to announce new high-end APS-C E-mount cameras that will replace both the NEX-6 and the NEX-7, and that it is rumored to begin shipping on in April following its announcement in February. With the February date, it is possible that Sony will be announcing their new cameras at CP+, a photography-related event that will be taking place in the month of February.

Additional rumors about the possible NEX-6/NEX-7 successor includes its price. According to their tipster, the camera is said to cost around 800 Euro, which is about $1,100 when converted which seems about right for the NEX-7’s successor, although admittedly pretty expensive for such a small device. The camera is also rumored to have a faster AF system, a faster imaging processor, and improved image quality and EVF. In any case take it with a grain of salt for now, but hopefully additional details will be revealed come February. After all it has been a while since Sony announced the NEX-7 and we guess it’s about time that it got updated.

It does seem as though Microsoft, too, wants to jump aboard the voice assistant bandwagon. I do wonder how will Apple’s Siri see this particular development – will they lean more toward being reactive, or will continue to innovate regardless of what the ‘competition’ have in store? Only time will be able to tell, but the latest rumor to roll off the mill points to Microsoft possibly developing a voice assistant that is not too far away from the likes of Google Now as well as Siri. Known as Cortana, this voice assistant for the Windows Phone platform has allegedly been spotted in action on a video that is shown above.

Olympus has a new camera in the works in the form of the Olympus OMD E-M10, and now thanks to newly leaked photos (via Digicame-Info), we have additional photos of the OMD E-M10 that will give us a better idea of what to expect when the camera finally gets announced. The camera was first rumored about back in 2013 where an announcement was rumored to be taking place soon, although when exactly remains a mystery. However with CP+ taking place later in February, it has been speculated that CP+ could be a potential platform in which Olympus might take advantage of to announce its latest product. (more…)
