T3chH3lp's Ultimate E3 Coverage

You may have noticed that within the past few days, and even this entire week, there’s been much more coverage about video games on T3chH3lp than ever before. This is no fluke. The reason for all the rumors, trailers, and discussions bloom forth from the fact that E3 - the Electronic Entertainment Expo - is going down next week at the Los Angeles Convention Center. What is E3? Nothing, except the biggest and most exciting event on the planet when it comes to video games. When E3 rolls into town, as it does annually in the summer, gamers everywhere will be putting their controllers down to watch the big 3’s (Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo’s) press conferences online, where they’ll be unveiling their upcoming games line up, as well revealing their newest hardware.

Yours truly will be on hand on the convention floor, catching every second of the action as it unfolds, so be sure to stay tuned onto my Twitter feed, as well as all the updates that’ll be sure to make the front page of T3chH3lp. 

E3 Schedule after the break!

BREAKING - iPhone HDS Leaked on Apple's Website

stagueve on Flickr has gotten a hold of what appears to be the new iPhone page on Apple’s website. The layout of the page looks just like the current apple.com/iphone page, but it features a hero image of the new iPhone.

It also seems that there is guided tours, and TV ads, but besides that there is really no difference from the current iPhone page. I found this on Flickr, while looking for pictures of the iPhone HDS - View full image

Discuss thisDiscuss this ()Options

“In our humble opinion, it’s most certainly a smartphone. A large and sexy smartphone that still fits in a pocket.”

Engadget has gone ahead and reviewed the spankin’ new “Dell Streak”, and surprisingly, they seem to have really enjoyed it! They have really put some work into this review - Read more

Acer and Ferrari make a limited edition Liquid E

It may not be a Ferrari Scuderia, or an Enzo, it may not even have a top speed of 240mph, but if you’re in the market for a limited edition Ferrari branded handset, then Acer’s prepared to hook you up. What we’re looking at here is the same Acer Liquid E with Android 2.1 that launched forever and a day ago; its not overly special (and we’re actually surprised Acer turned it into a limited edition handset), but if you’ve always wanted to own a Ferrari (and lets face it, at some point you have) then this handset will get you where you need to go… GPS permitting. By now you should know what makes this thing tick, but in case you’ve forgotten, let us refresh your memory. Inside you’ll find a 1GHz Snapdragon (underclocked to 768MHz), a 3.5-inch WVGA touchscreen, 5-megapixel camera, and an included 8GB microSD card. There’s no word on pricing or availability, but knowing Ferrari and Acer it’ll probably be a case of “too much” and “too late.”

Moorestown powered handheld plays World of Warcraft

If you’ve ever wanted to combine your love of leaving the house, your kickin’ smartphone, and your World of Warcraft avatar, then you’re going to love what the folks from Netbook News found on the Computex showroom floor. It may not be an official World of Warcraft phone (which lets be honest is probably a good thing), but if you’re in the market for an aforesaid WoW playing smartphone then you can’t look much further. Spec wise it’s running a Moorestown chipset, and apart from that all we know is that it’ll have approximately 10 days of standby time. Now word on price or availability, but in the meantime there’s a video of it in action after the break.

Quanta Redvale's MeeGo infused Moorestown powered slate

It may not be that MeeGo infused Moorestown powered slate from Wistron, but what you’re looking at here is Quanta Redvale’s equivalent, and we’ve got to say… it looks well, brilliant. Clearly Intel saw something in this little gem as it was featured during their keynote, however, having said that it could’ve just been some form of parental biased. After all, Intel is one half of MeeGo’s legal guardianship. Nevertheless, if you’re the least bit curious to learn more about this device (and lets face it, we know you are) you’re going to have to mosey on past the break, but trust us when we say “it’ll be worth it.”

Qualcomm starts shipping its dual-core 1.2GHz Snapdragon

They’ve been hinted at since early 2009, but the cats officially out of the bag as Qualcomm’s started shipping their dual-core Snapdragon chipsets. So we don’t know whom they’re shipping to (perhaps HTC?), but we do know that Qualcomm’s 1.2GHz packing Snapdragons will be aimed at higher-end smartphones. They’ve currently announced two chipsets, the MSM8260 and MSM8660, the first offering HSPA+ support and the latter offering multi-mode HSPA+ and 1xEV-DO Rev. B. Both chipsets currently offer integrated GPS, 2D / 3D acceleration, 1080p video encoding and decoding, as well as support for 24-bit WXGA — that’s a whopping 1280 x 800 pixels.(!)

Currently the outlet’s refused to share reference designs — only “prospective customers” are getting face time with the chipsets — but Engadget managed to “pry out a few interesting details.” Unlike Snapdragons of the past, these new chips have two application cores and a single modem core, whereas previously chips were limited to a both a single application and modem core. The big E was also told that before the years end, “an even quicker version of the Snapdragon would be launched” — and best of all, it’ll be aimed at slates and tablets. Press release after the break.
