Wow that’s a lot of tiles you’ve got there Nokia Bandit

Bandit is the codename for the rumoured huge 6? phablet from Nokia. Evleaks has posted an image that is apparently a screenshot from the Bandit.

Total information overload, we can tell that the Bandit will be on the next major update to Windows Phone 8 which is rumoured to add extra columns to the start screen. GDR3 is also meant to add support for Quad core CPUs and 1080p screens.

The Nokia Bandit could be a very interesting device. Knowing Nokia I doubt we’ll have to wait long before we get to see this.

I spend most of the day telling people to turn stuff off and back on again. Inbetween doing that I post news and reviews over here.

I currently have a Galaxy Note II, an Ativ S and an HTC 8X. I would rather like a 1080p phone. Thinking Oppo Find 5.

Pressy – A smart little button that’s receiving a lot of attention

 

Yep, it’s another Kickstarter project and yes, this one is doing rather well. Very well in fact – it’s almost reached the intended goal and there’s still 46 days remaining.

What is it?

Well, you know that annoying unlock you have to do when you want to use your phone? On some handsets it’s a press of the power button, then a screen unlock, then you need to find your favourite app. Here, “Pressy” plugs into your 3.5mm audio port and activates the app you want instantly. You can short-press to activate one app (such as your flashlight for example), long-press to do something else and maybe a double-click to hit something else.

As I type $33,411 has been pledged, and they need $40,000, so you can see how close they already are. The button itself sits fairly flush and, although you do have to give up your 3.5mm audio port to make this work, it’s certainly sparked a large amount of support.

 

Once it arrives the actions are controlled via an app, so you can get it to do most things, and you could perhaps invest in some Bluetooth headphones to replace the corded ones you can’t use. Personally I’d love for them to look at a pass-through system so that you could use this with normal headphones that lack that magic button on the cable.

Either way, if you’re interested, join the funding here.

For those who like moving pictures there’s even some of them to explain further!
