RAmos W7 spotted blazing through Android

As much fun as it is seeing the RAmos W7 in the wild, all legit and everything, what’s more exciting is seeing that Android-specific 600MHz Rockchip CPU in action again. This time it appears to be handling some pretty snappy web browsing to some fairly hefty pages, and then diving into what looks to be Flash video in an externalized, overlain player of some kind. The Android Archos 5 does a similar thing for media playback, but it’s not plugged into the browser like this, and we really haven’t seen many devices attain these sorts of browser speeds at this resolution. Sure, there’s still plenty more OS to see, but it’s good to see both of these products making a bit of good on their promises. Check out the video after the break.

C64 emulator approved for iPhone

Filed under: Gaming, Multimedia, Software, Odds and ends, Apple, iPhone, App Store

Well how about that. A Commodore 64 emulator for iPhone is nothing new — we covered the fact that one had been developed a little while ago. Here’s what is new (and a little surprising, to be honest): Apple approved it. In an environment where Apple seems intent on rejecting anything that might encroach on their platform, even just a little bit, they have apparently allowed an emulator right there on the App Store.

There are catches, of course — the emulator comes bundled with five officially licensed titles: Dragons Den, Le Mans, Jupiter Lander, Arctic Shipwreck and Jack Attack, and more will be available to purchase soon, so it’ll all be above board and legit (and the flip side is that if you want to play classic titles like Elite or Ultima, you’ll have to hope that whoever owns the rights to those will let them see release). The biggest catch is that the emulator doesn’t come with BASIC support enabled by default (although, via Daring Fireball and the iPhone Blog, it’s possible to get to it via a backdoor), so it’s more of a C64 arcade emulator rather than an actual software emulator.

But of course this is a step in the right direction — someday we may finally see official SNES or NES emulators running in full glory on the iPhone and approved and available to purchase on the App Store. This emulator, simply called C64, is available right now on the App Store for $4.99.

LG and Nortel complete first legit LTE-CDMA handoff, Verizon swoons

This’ll probably end up being important for Bell and Telus up in Canada (even though they’re taking an intermediate step from CDMA to HSPA), but Verizon must absolutely love the fact that the infrastructure guys have now figured out how to hand off data packets between CDMA and LTE networks in a standards-compliant way. LG and Nortel — what’s left of it, anyway — have collaborated to complete the handoff in Nortel’s Ottawa research labs on 700MHz spectrum between EV-DO and the Canadian firm’s LTE hardware, using LG’s so-called M13 prototype modem that roughly resembles consumer-grade equipment that LG wants to release next year. This is great news for customers who not only won’t need to choose between a fast modem with crappy coverage and a slow modem with awesome coverage — they’ll be able to have both in a single device — but they’ll also be able to continue to torrent last night’s True Blood as they move between technologies. Cheers to that.
