Verizon’s LG Versa likely to launch March 1st

Posted in: leak, leaks, LG, Today's Chili, verizon

We’ve had our eye on Verizon’s crazy LG handset, the VX9600, (or “Versa,” in fun-speak), since back when it was still just a doodle, and have expected an imminent launch since we caught those snaps of it in late January. So here it is — documented evidence that points to a likely March 1 launch. If you’ve forgotten (there’s no way you’ve done that, is there?) this zany piece of work boasts a sweet QWERTY keyboard module which is detachable, with other modules, including a pair of speakers and an internet module with integrated WiFi promised. No word on pricing yet, but we’ll let you know when we hear something.

Is this a matte black iPhone? (answer: probably not) Update: more pics

Posted in: Apple, iPhone, leak, leaks, rumor, rumors, Today's Chili

So, this is sort of fun. The leaked photo above appears to be of a new iPhone back — in matte black. Sure, we have to be highly suspicious of all kinds of purported evidence of new products in general, and we’ve heard enough crazy Apple rumors over the years to fill an issue of US Weekly. Regardless, this one’s worth at least considering: it’s got a model number, A1303, that’s previously unseen, but has all the other requisite data, including FCC ID numbers, that we’ve grown to know and love on the back of real, actual, undoctored iPhones. Look, it’s probably fake. Discuss.

Update: Some more pics have surfaced — check one after the break and the other at MacRumors. Seems a bit early for these sorts of leaks to us, but crazier things have happened.

Seemingly real Windows Mobile 6.5 screenshots trickle out of leaky internet faucet

Posted in: leaks, mwc, Today's Chili, Windows Mobile, windows mobile 6.5, WindowsMobile, WindowsMobile6.5

A fine fellow over at the xda dev forum has posted some screenshots of what is purportedly Windows Mobile 6.5 — and well… they look plausibly real. They’re pretty Zune-ish (though maybe slightly less so than the last ones we saw), and also pretty good looking. There’s still no info on when we can expect 6.5, though rumors have it that it’ll be at MWC. Check some more photos (including the honeycomb app launcher and IE mobile) after the break. Hey Grey Crowned Crane, how’re you doing?
