ZTE at MWC will debut its upcoming Firefox OS phone called the ZTE Open.

Specs include a Cortex-A5-based Qualcomm MSM7225A, a 3.5-inch HVGA TFT display with capacitive touchscreen, 256MB DDR SDRAM, 512MB NAND storage, WiFi 802.11a/b/g/n, Bluetooth 2.1 (with EDR3), GPS and FM radio. Of note there will be a 3.2-megapixel front-facing camera, but none on the back.

Another OS to compete with android and iOS.

Earlier this morning I was in HMV Plymouth, Devon.

They had some incredible discounts on DVDs and CDs but also on gadgets.

For example you could buy an android tablet with ice cream sandwich. Google Play store, hdmi, micro USB slot, 8gb memory and 8 hours run time all for £60. The screen was 10.9 inches. They had 50% off all computers.

If that wasn’t a big enough deal they had 40% off most headphones. So the Sennheiser Amperior which are £270 could be bought saving £108. That’s a very good deal. In fact there were too many to list.

In fact dependant on what the item was there was up to 70% discount available.

I just hope this store doesn’t closedown.

Google has updated its Google Maps SDK for iOS to version 1.1, opening up its API to all third-party developers who now have the ability to build iOS apps with Google Maps embedded. The update also adds support for ground overlays, gesture controls, and more. So now iOS apps will be able to fire up Google Maps instead of Apple Maps.

This post is not just aimed at Facebook but other large online corporates that wipe out smaller companies. Amazon is top of my list for tax evasion.

So Facebook makes $1bn profit and is due a $429m tax refund.

Speechless.
