We Hear You...

Thanks for some customers’ feedbacks on eXpansys Leather Case for HTC Desire.
We have modified the front design of the case. You can see the notification bar when Desire is inside the case and easily scroll up and down now.
A small cut-out will show the sensor light, the screen won’t go blank during calls.
eXpansys is happy to replace this new case. If you have previously bought this case and would like to get a newer version of case, please contact our service department.

Tablets galore

 

With the unveiling ceremony of the Apple iPad, a new era has supposedly begun – tablets are finally to become fashionable. Following that announcement, many makers decided they had to surf this new trend. Rumours started about every single brand, and many brands themselves started rumours about their upcoming products.

 

Some like Archos decided to keep making what they became famous for: PMPs or rather bigger PMPs. But the new Archos 7 Home Tablet to be released in June will please the crowds with its not-too-big yet not-too-small form factor, and its attractive price: $199, €149, £129. At such a low price, a hardware made of an ARM Cortex 600 MHz, 800x480 resolution and 400MB RAM doesn’t sound very disappointing.

Big IT competitors Dell and HP do not want to be left behind. If HP announced a Slate, everything changed after Palm’s purchase: the company now plans to release a new tablet – or the same updated tablet –, the HP Hurricane with WebOS, Palm’s most recent OS innovation. It should be available around Q3.

 

 

The first rumours about Dell were heard in January, but since then the Dell Mini 5, now known as the Dell Streak 5, is still not available on the market. It will probably be postponed until June, or maybe summer. Recently there were more rumours about 7” and 10” versions. All versions should run Android.

 

German manufacturer Neofonie will release the WeTab (formerly marketed as WePad), probably around July. The company chose to bet on a larger device with 11 inches.

 

  

 

 

 

Chinese manufacturer Aigo will also release a rather powerful 7” tablet running Android 2.1, with an ARM Cortex A9 @ 1GHz, as much as 32GB storage on the higher end version, and 800x480 resolution.

Aliph Jawbone Icon - Coming Next Week to eXpansys-usa

The CATCH, HERO, THINKER-Silver, THINKER-Black, ROGUE, BOMBSHELL, & ACE - all new from Aliph Jawbone!  The Hero is the first to be released and in stock now at eXpansys-usa!  The Thinker is right behind it with stock expected the week of 3/1 and the rest of the Icon lineup to follow the week of 3/8.

These new headsets are quite amazing in my opinion, after being an avid user of the Jawbone 2.  They are smaller yet easier to operate with the on/off switch, yes I said switch, on the bottom of the headset along with the LED to indicate your Bluetooth connection status and battery power.  The voice quality is phenominal as expected from Aliph and with just 1 button for volume and talk status, it's the easiest headset on the market to use.

The MYTALK feature is still in testing mode so not quite yet available on the headset.  However, with this feature, the first of its kind, you will be able to personalize your Jawbone Icon with free, convenient applications and software updates.  With AudioApps from MYTALK, you will be able to change the voice for spoken alerts such as battery life and caller ID.  MYTALK DialApps allows you to customize a button that will link your Jawbone Icon to directly to 411, voice-to-SMS, voice dial services, and even use your voice to post to FaceBook and Twitter via your Icon.
