    Scoop PiX Third Gen Motorola Razr

    SHR has scored a sneak peek at the new G3 Razr. Better looking than the Mororola iTunes phone this baby will be launched either late this year or early 2006.

    Motorola has got  FCC approval for a second 3G phone based on what is now called the V3x. The E1070 is a relatively slim clamshell with GMS/GPRS 900/1800/1900 and UMTS 2100. It includes many of the same features as the V3x such as dual color displays, Bluetooth (including advanced audio and printing profiles), a MicroSD (TransFlash) slot, audio player, Motorola’s new Linux / Java OS and dual cameras. However the E1070 only has a 1.3 Megapixel external camera. Motorola has not yet announced the E1070, so availability is not yet known.

    Harvey Norman Confirms Airport Dick Smith, Move Stores Bid

    As exclusively tipped by ChannelNews Gerry Harvey the Chairman of Harvey Norman, has confirmed that the mass retailer is looking to buy the Dick Smith Move stores.

    Harvey Norman executive chairman Gerry Harvey confirmed tonight, that they have discussed with Ferrier Hodgson the aquisition of the four Move stores at airports. 

    Analysts at the mass retailer who is also moving into distribution of consumer electronics are currently crunching the numbers.  

    The four Move airport stores will continue while the 10 stores in shopping malls are being closed down.

    “Every time I’ve looked at an airport business I’ve always run away because the rents and overheads are horrendous,” said Mr Harvey.

    “It’s not generally the sort of place I’d like to be, but you have to look,” he said.

    “At this stage we’ll just have to figure out how they make money. They turn over a lot but if they don’t make any money it’s not worth it.”

    Gerry Harvey said Harvey Norman was better placed to take over the Move airport shops because it was more upmarket than most of its peers and sold premium brands and products, such as stainless steel laptops and rose-gold headphones.
    “We have a huge market share in that high priced category – suppliers know that too,” he said.

    New Samsung Galaxy Not 5 Tipped To Get Auto Eject S Pen

    The new Samsung’s Galaxy Note 5 is going to look like prior models but under the bonnet are some sexy new additions such as software that ejects a pen.

    At the weekend a case for the new Galaxy Note 5 was accidently leaked onto an Amazon page by accessory maker Ringke.

    What was noticeable was changes to the now famous Samsung S Pen 

    Unlike with previous iterations, the Note 5’s S-Pen sits flush with the body of the phone, making it impossible on occasions to pull out by normal means.

    The new casing and a recent patent suggests that Samsung is set to release new auto-ejection technology for the Note 5’s stylus.

    Basically the pen will pop out of a slot when an icon or application is tapped on the screen.

    Both the Galaxy Note 5 and the Galaxy S6 Edge Plus were recently certified by America’s FCC.

    All smartphones need to pass through the Federal Communications Commission before they can be sold in the US market.

    As such, this certification is a major sign that the release of the handsets – model numbers SM-N920V and SM-N920A – is imminent.

    Insiders claim that the Galaxy Note 5 will launch in mid-August or at IFA in German in the first week of September.

    Acer, Lenovo To Embed 3G

    Acer is to embed 3G mobile-phone technology into its future notebook PC products, kicking off with a pair of Centrino Duo-based machines, the company said this week.

    The TravelMate 4260 and Aspire 5650 will both incorporate UMTS 3G and tri-band GSM/GPRS 2.5G radios to allow their users to connect to the internet across cellular networks without the need to connect the computer to a mobile phone.

    Acer said the 3G radio would be updated to support higher-speed downloads using HSDPA (High Speed Data Packet Access) technology when it is offered by the mobile phone networks.

    The notebooks are based on Intel’s Core Duo processors, 945PM chipsets and ProWireless 3945ABG Wi-Fi adaptors. Acer didn’t provide further specification details, or indicate when the machines will ship, or how much it will charge for them.

    Lenovo also plans to introduce ThinkPad Centrino Duo notebooks featuring Vodafone 3G capabilities. The new X60 Series which includes the lightest ever ThinkPad weighing in at only 1.22kg and the T60 will come equipped with a 3G wireless antenna protruding slightly from the lid and in-built SIM Vodafone SIM card for easy connectivity to wireless broadband.

    Lenovo said the new models will be available in late March, April timeframe.

     

    JB Hi-Fi Blitz The Market

    Consumer electronic retailer has blitzed the market by reporting that first-half profit rose 60 percent on sales of games, computers and DVDs. They are valso the the best performing retailer in Australia’s benchmark index the past year.

    Consumer electronic retailer has blitzed the market  by reporting that first-half profit rose 60 percent on sales of games, computers and DVDs. They are valso the the best performing retailer in Australia’s benchmark index the past year.

    The Company that last month aquired the Digital Home web site from 4Square Media publishers of the SmartHouse web site and magazine reported that income rose to $41.9 million or 39 cents a share, in the six months ended Dec. 31 from $26.8 million, or 25 cents, a year earlier, Melbourne-based JB Hi-Fi said in a statement. Earnings were expected to rise to $40 million, according to the median estimate of five analysts Bloomberg News surveyed by telephone and e-mail.

    Adding computers and iPods has helped bolster growth at JB Hi-Fi as Chief Executive Officer Richard Uechtritz seeks to limit the company’s dependence on DVD and music CD sales. He expanded into New Zealand last year with the 11-store Hill & Stewart chain.

    “Our unique and technology focused retail model continues to perform strongly.,” Uechtritz said in the statement.  JB Hi-Fi said annual profit will rise as much as 49 percent to between A$57 million and A$60 million.

    First-half sales rose 50 percent to A$989 million, with annual revenue forecast to rise 40 percent to A$1.8 billion. JB Hi-Fi shares fell 74 cents, or 5.9 percent, to A$11.90 at 10:11 a.m. in Sydney. The stock has risen seven-fold since being sold to the public in October 2003 at A$1.80 a share. It has been Australia’s best performing retail stock since joining the benchmark S&P/ASX 200 Index in 2004.

    The company opened 15 new stores during the half, increasing its network to 104, with 5 more outlets planned before the end of June.

    JB Hi-Fi is Australia’s third-largest computer retailer behind Harvey Norman Holdings Ltd. and the Dick Smith unit of Woolworths Ltd., Australia’s biggest retailer

    65″ Sharp LCD TV Announced

    Sharp has announced a PRO 65″ LCD TV. However they have refused to put a price on it.

    Sharp has announced what it claims is the world’s largest professional LCD monitor, a 65-inch model that will be available this June.

    At press time, a spokeswoman for Sharp said that the company had not named a price for the new PN-655 LCD monitor, which features 1920 x 1080, two megapixel high-definition resolution. Detailed specifications were not available, although the company said it would provide a range of connectors, including DVI inputs.

    The company’s Dual-Fine Engine technology was included, to help the diplay show off PC as well as video content. The PN-655 also contains a four-wavelength spectrum, cold-cathode fluorescent backlight that provides an enhanced color spectrum including deeper, more vibrant and vivid reds,” according to the company. A technique called Bright Pixel Elimination culls “stuck-on” white pixels, to make a failed pixel “invisible to the viewer,” Sharp said.

    Pixel response time for the PN-655 is less than 6 ms. The viewing angle is greater than 170 degrees.

    EXCLUSIVE:Smokin Gun Email Could Bring Down Dick Smith Executives

    Australian Securities and Investment Commission are investigating whether a $2M underpayment of Dick Smith staff may have been deliberately hidden by senior executives of Dick Smith who were also responsible for the $400M collapse of the consumer electronics retailer.

    The smoking gun that could bring down former executives of Dick Smith is an email between former chief financial officer Michael Potts and former CEO Nick Aboud, the email was discovered when Ferrier Hodgson staff went searching through an email database. 

    According to Ferrier Hodgson sources, working for the receivers, who are currently investigating the books of Dick Smith, both Potts and Nick Aboud have been questioned about the email, which indicates that certain Dick Smith executives were aware of the discrepancies, that dated back to Woolworths’ ownership of the electronics chain before the business was bought by private equity form Anchorage Capital and sold to investors through a $520 million public float.

    The issue for ASIC investigators is why the discrepancies were not disclosed in any financial filings for Dick Smith and why the market was not informed of the discrepancies when discovered by Dick Smith management. 

    Yesterday Ferrier Hodgson announced that Michael Potts employment with Dick Smith had been terminated. 

    Aboud who has already been questioned by Australian Securities and Investment Commission investigators is also set to be questioned by the Australian Tax Office. 

    ChannelNews understands that certain allegations have been put to Aboud and that as a result of certain questions Aboud has sought, time via his solicitors, to prepare documentation for investigators. 

    We understand that a meeting between ASIC and ATO investigators has been delayed until April. 

    Yesterday Ferrier Hodgson chose to selectively reveal to the Australian that 3,200 current and former staff may be owed as much as $2 million in entitlements, dating back as far as 2010 when the chain was under the control of Woolworths.

    They made no mention of the smoking gun email.

    According to Ferrier Hodgson partner James Stewart who has not returned calls to ChannelNews staff may have missed out on their full leave loading as a result of the “incorrect application of the relevant industrial award.”
    Woolworths have said that they are now conducting their own analysis of payments to staff, to ensure that other miscalculation have incurred anywhere else across its business.

    At this stage ASIC hasn’t initiated a formal investigation however they are looking at the float prospectus as well as Dick Smith’s most recent audited full year financial results, which were signed off by Deloitte.
    Ferrier Hodgson has referred the matter to the Fair Work Ombudsman as well as the Shop.

    HP Recalls 135,000 Hot Notebooks

    Hewlett-Packard has issued a recall of certain laptop computer batteries, which can overheat, posing the threat of fire, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission says.

    Hewlett-Packard has issued a  recall of certain laptop computer batteries, which can overheat, posing the threat of fire, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission says.

    About 135,000 battery packs worldwide, including about 85,000 in the U.S., are involved in the recall. An internal short can cause the battery cells to overheat and melt or char the plastic case, posing a burn and fire hazard, the company says.HP says it has received 16 reports of batteries overheating, including four in the U.S. No injuries have been reported. Four cases of minor property damage were reported, including one in the U.S.


    The recalled lithium ion rechargeable battery packs are used with various HP and Compaq notebook computers. The recalled battery packs are a subset of those manufactured March 2004 through September 2004, and will have a bar code label starting with GC, IA, L0 or L1. The CPSC says consumers should stop using the recalled batteries immediately and contact HP to arrange for a free replacement battery.

    New $799 KeyOne Blackberry Announced, May Launch

    The Blackberry of old is out, a new Blackberry complete with a new generation keyboard is called KeyOne.

    At the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona overnight, TCL the Chinese Company that secured the rights to the security software that made the Blackberry famous launched a brand new model that will go on sale in Australia in May for $799.

    The Blackberry KeyOne has a 4.5-inch screen and a full BlackBerry keyboard. It also has a Full HD 1,620 X 1,080 LCD screen and an impressive pixel density of 434 pixels per inch. There is also a 12-megapixel camera front camera and an 8-megapixel selfie camera.  

    Also on board is 3GB of RAM and 32GB of storage, plus a MicroSD card slot. There’s a huge 3505mAh battery, the powerhouse is a Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 processor.

    The reason that TCL has used this processor is to deliver efficiency and longer battery life. 


    “We believe it’s properly designed with the right engine and the right gas tank,” a TCL spokesperson said.

    With the new keyboard, you can swipe on it to move between home screens, and use the space bar as a fingerprint sensor. 

    But you can also assign any key as an arbitrary keyboard shortcut: G for Gmail, for instance, or M for music.

    Another key benefit is the Hub, BlackBerry’s unified messaging app, which now includes Slack and WhatsApp. This allows one to store all your messages in one place. 

    At CES I was able to play with an early version of this device and unlike a classic BlackBerry handsets the screen won’t be square but adopt a more regular touchscreen aspect. Rather than 16:9 like most displays, it’s 3:2 which could be a problem when viewing video.

     Unlike prior models the KeyOne doesn’t have a sliding display, and doesn’t look like a traditional candy bar all-touch device either. Instead, it resembles a stretched-out version of the Silver Edition BlackBerry Passport.

    Like traditional BlackBerry phones, and unlike the Priv, the KeyOne also has metal frets in between the four rows of keys on the physical keyboard. This helps space out the keys to make typing easier, as well as giving it a solid feel. Above the keys, below the display, there’s the traditional Android trio of capacitive buttons. 

    These keys are sculpted to make them easier to type on and, the space bar doubles as a home button and fingerprint scanner. 

    The new KeyOne comes with a textured black plastic back and the frame is rounded, giving it a comfortable in-hand feel, and the volume rocker and Convenience Key are low down, and easy to reach. 


    Under the deal with TCL their developers get access to BlackBerry’s industrial design team to help create a unified BlackBerry design, however it’s not known whether TCL will get access to BlackBerry’s patented hardware technologies, like its special Paratek antennas.

    “We license our IP technology to many different companies, and you could assume those companies could be part of that licensing structure,” a Blackberry spokesperson said. 


    The KeyOne under-the-hood security will have to go through full US government certification processes again, to be usable by the Department of Defence, he said.
