FCC Approves Nokia N90, Sony Ericsson K750i

“Teen heart-throb MobileTracker reports a couple of interesting, if unsurprising approvals from the FCC: the Nokia N90 cameraphone, and the Sony Ericsson K750i. The N90 [left] is the new flip-phonehybrid that we had a chance to play with a couple weeks back, while the K750i wasfirst shown at Cannes in March.

Both phones share two-megapixel cameras, although the N90 is certainly more oriented towards imaging, with its flippy screen and multiple configurations, while the K750i is more of an all-around solid, Sony-style phone (which is to say, about as much of a ‘smartphone’ as Nokia’s units usually are). I liked both phones in the short time I had to play with them, even if neither one offer a totally new experience.

Expect both phones sometime this quarter on unknown carriers, for unknown prices (expect a pretty penny).”

Comparison of Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite and MediaTek Dimensity 9400 processors.

The flagship mobile silicon race has entered its next phase, one that will dictate the trajectory of Android hardware heading into 2025. Merely weeks after MediaTek wowed us with the Dimensity 9400 system on a chip (SoC), Qualcomm also pulled a surprise with the reveal of the Snapdragon 8 Elite.

But this time around, the battle is not as straightforward. Where MediaTek is working closely with Arm and adopting its latest CPU and graphics innovations, Qualcomm has firmly put its faith in custom cores. These are no ordinary cores, but a next-gen iteration of the same fundamental tech stack that powers Windows on ARM laptops.

Discolored line on your new Kindle? You aren’t alone
Amazon Kindle Colorsoft Signature Edition on a table.

The new Kindle Colorsoft Signature Edition is the first full-color e-reader, and a lot of bookworms couldn't wait to get their hands on it. Sadly, many people are reporting the display has a discolored yellow area at the bottom of the screen. The problem is so widespread that the Kindle Colorsoft dropped to an average review rating of 2.6 out of 5, although it does remain the bestselling e-book reader at the moment.

The cause of the discoloration isn't clear. Some users report that it only happens when using the edge lighting feature on the Kindle, while others say it appeared after a software update. Either way, the yellowing is a problem, especially on a device that Amazon has marketed as being great for comics and graphic novel fans. It's hard to enjoy the colorwork in a comic when it's distorted.
