Move over camera phone…its projector phone time!Yesterday

Logic Wireless (who?) is showing off what it’s claiming to be the world’s first projector-packing mobile phone - the Logic Bolt - at CES 2009.  This quad-band GSM, 3mp shootin’ candybar handset is supposedly able to project an image up to 64″ and is expected to do so for up to 2 hours thanks to its 1800mAh battery.  It also appears to have an external speaker to help make your impromptu mobile projector sessions fun for the whole family.  More pics after the jump.

Logic Wireless has yet to announce an official deal with any U.S. carriers, but currently has plans to sell its phone projector, complete with a 2.4″ QVGA (240×320 pixels) touch screen display, for $600 sans contract.

T-Mobile officially outs the BlackBerry 8900Yesterday

Rumors have been floating for weeks now and we knew the 8900 would be coming sometime in early ‘09 and tonight T-Mobile has made it official. However, the 8900 aka Curve II aka Javelin will not be hitting store shelves on the 11th or 18th according to the press release. T-Mobile is being coy and saying it’s coming sometime this month. It could happen on those dates, but T-Mobile isn’t confirming anything today. No word on price either. Official specs after the jump:

REDFLY goes Android.. sort ofYesterday

Apple now allowing iTunes music downloads over 3GJanuary 6

Finally! No more having to find the nearest Starbucks just so you can get that blasted Beyonce song out of your head - now you can download that drivel over 3G!

During today’s MacWorld Keynote Phil Schiller announced that iPhone iTunes downloads are now enabled over 3G, where as they’d been previously limited to WiFi connections only. Audio quality for 3G downloads is identical to that of those downloaded on the full-blown desktop iTunes - as is the price. Some expected the music industry to push for an additional surcharge on mobile downloads, so good on all parties involved for working something out that doesn’t stiff the customers.

HTC fills a gap we didn’t know existed with the S743January 6

Existing somewhere between (and a sidestep or two away from) the full-touch HTC Touch Diamond and the HTC Touch Pro QWERTY slider is the S740, a non-touch, Windows Mobile 6.1 QWERTY slider. While it’s been floating around Europe for a few months now, HTC is just today announcing its US brethren: the S743.

Surprised that HTC is still making non-touch Windows Mobile 6.1 phones for the touch-obsessed US market? So are we. If the audience is out there, though, good on’em for having it covered. A shout out to the trendy-touch-tech-free days of yesteryear, the S743 sports 850/1900 HSDPA support, a full QWERTY slider, a number pad on the face, and good old softkeys. The 2.4″ screen is a relatively paltry QVGA (320×240) resolution - but if you want some HTC smartphone action but just can’t bring yourself to poke and prod just yet, maybe that can be overlooked.
