Intel said to be prepping 1.46GHz Core i7 ULV processor for this Fall
Source: http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/28/intel-said-to-be-prepping-1-46ghz-core-i7-ulv-processor-for-this/
There's already been some rumors circulating that Intel would be rolling out a 1.33GHz Core i7 ULV processor this summer, and it now looks like that will be followed by an even faster low-voltage processor later in the Fall. That's when, according to Fudzilla, Intel will be launching a 1.46GHz Core i7 680UM processor, which reportedly has the same 18W TDP rating and 4MB of cache as its slower counterpart, and can clock all the way up to 2.53GHz in Turbo Boost mode. Unfortunately, there's not so much as a hint of pricing or any actual laptops that will use the processor, and Intel itself is of course keeping quiet on the matter for the time being.Intel said to be prepping 1.46GHz Core i7 ULV processor for this Fall originally appeared on Engadget on Wed, 28 Apr 2010 15:53:00 EST.

iPhone tethering on AT&T still waiting on better network performance
Coincidentally, that's almost identical to a statement the company issued last September, but regardless, AT&T can't necessarily afford to meet its network "performance objectives" before acting -- Verizon's announcement that Palm's Mobile Hotspot app would become a free add-on with the Pre Plus and Pixi Plus was a serious shot across the bow of any other American carrier trying to woo business customers and road warriors. Think it'll go live before the next iPhone does?"We understand that there is great interest in tethering but cannot provide any details at this time. We know that iPhone users love their devices and mobile broadband, and that they're likely to embrace tethering just as they have other features and apps - by using it a lot. iPhone tethering has the potential to exponentially increase traffic, and we need to ensure that we're able to deliver excellent performance for the feature - over and above the increases in data traffic we're already seeing - before we will offer the feature."

Pdfcrowd Converts Web Sites and HTML Code to PDF Documents [Webapps]
Source: http://lifehacker.com/5525615/pdfcrowd-converts-web-sites-and-html-code-to-pdf-documents
We've covered services and browser extensions like this site before, but Pdfcrowd's got a lot more options that set it apart. The service is relatively straightforward. You've got a variety of ways to input your source: you can enter a URL, upload a HTML or TXT file (TXT is not officially supported, but it works), or enter HTML code directly. If you choose to enter HTML code, Pdfcrowd translates the code into PDF for you, and there's a WSISWYG editor available for making tweaks. After you set your options, hit the button to convert your file.
Pdfcrowd does the job, but it does append "pdfcrowd.com" to your PDF in the the bottom right-hand corner. If that doesn't bother you, you might want to check out the webapp.

A Little Chip Company Called Intrinsity, and the iPad A4 Chip's Secret Recipe [Apple]
The informed speculation is that Intrinsity's custom 1GHz ARM chip, codenamed Hummingbird, is in fact the basis for the A4 inside of the iPad. The name Intrinsity might sound familiar, since it was rumored, but not confirmed, Apple had acquired the ARM chip design firm, which specialized in seriously speeding up ARM chips without horribly pillaging battery life.
Well, now Apple's confirmed to NYT that it's true, Intrinsity has been bought by Apple. So the obvious expectation is to keep seeing faster, stronger, custom ARM chips inside of Apple products—like the next iPhone—though what'll be interesting is what they'll be cooking up for Apple in the next couple of years.

Microsoft Licensing Mysterious Patented Tech To HTC's Android Phones [Microsoft]
Source: http://gizmodo.com/5526078/microsoft-licensing-mysterious-patented-tech-to-htcs-android-phones
We can continue guessing all we want, but for now Microsoft and HTC have sealed lips, merely announcing that the patent agreement for HTC's Android phones will see Microsoft license its technology, receiving royalties from HTC and more than 600 other companies it works with in a similar manner. [Microsoft]
UPDATE: While my initial cynicism made me believe this was a clever move from Microsoft to win points over Apple (in light of Apple's lawsuit against HTC for patent infringement), it appears it may not be that cut and dried. CNET is reporting that actually, HTC was also infringing on Microsoft's intellectual property, and rather than go down the same route as Apple, they've instead brokered a deal licensing their technology to HTC—for a hefty price.
REDMOND, Wash. - April 27, 2010 - Microsoft Corp. and HTC Corp. have signed a patent agreement that provides broad coverage under Microsoft's patent portfolio for HTC's mobile phones running the Android mobile platform. Under the terms of the agreement, Microsoft will receive royalties from HTC.
The agreement expands HTC's long-standing business relationship with Microsoft.
"HTC and Microsoft have a long history of technical and commercial collaboration, and today's agreement is an example of how industry leaders can reach commercial arrangements that address intellectual property," said Horacio Gutierrez, corporate vice president and deputy general counsel of Intellectual Property and Licensing at Microsoft. "We are pleased to continue our collaboration with HTC."
Microsoft's Commitment to Licensing Intellectual Property
The licensing agreement is another example of the important role intellectual property (IP) plays in ensuring a healthy and vibrant IT ecosystem. Since Microsoft launched its IP licensing program in December 2003, the company has entered into more than 600 licensing agreements and continues to develop programs that make it possible for customers, partners and competitors to access its IP portfolio. The program was developed to open access to Microsoft's significant research and development investments and its growing, broad patent and IP portfolio. More information about Microsoft's licensing programs is available at http://www.microsoft.com/iplicensing.
Founded in 1975, Microsoft (Nasdaq "MSFT") is the worldwide leader in software, services and solutions that help people and businesses realize their full potential.

iPhone is Most Popular Phone for Opera Mini Downloads in US [IPhone Apps]

The figures come via Opera's State of the Mobile Web report, which shows how they've taken over BlackBerry's top spot for US phone downloads. Worldwide however, the iPhone still needs to take on Nokia and Sony Ericsson handsets, with Opera saying the top 20 list was dominated by these two manufacturers. [Opera via TechCrunch]

ASUS Eee PC 1015P netbook hits the FCC
Source: http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/28/asus-eee-pc-1015p-netbook-hits-the-fcc/
We already managed to go hands-on with ASUS' Eee PC 1015P netbook at CeBIT back in March, but the company has been relatively quiet about it since then, and hasn't even offered so much as a hint of a release date. It looks like that could now be coming sooner rather than later, however, as the netbook has just passed through the FCC and left with its seal of approval. In case you missed it, the netbook itself is part of ASUS' Seashell line, and packs a 10.1-inch screen, an Atom N450 processor and, perhaps most notably, a promised 14 hours of battery life -- keyword "promised."

Nokia N8 fights back with heavenly HD video sample (updated)
Source: http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/28/nokia-n8-fights-back-with-heavenly-hd-video-sample/
Nokia is doing its best to rewind the negative spin placed on its flagship N8 after one of its children went missing. As part of the effort, it just published the first un-retouched 720p video captured by a pre-production N8's Carl Zeiss lens as followup to the first sample images released yesterday. We downloaded the H.264 video's .MP4 container to view natively (that's a 600 pixel wide screencap above) and sure enough came away impressed -- though we're curious to hear the original audio that was replaced by a dramatic soundtrack. Now, we're not saying it's better or worse than other similarly equipped smartphones shooting well-lit video -- without seeing side-by-side video of the same footage it's difficult to tell. But Nokia, a company known for using decent optics, sensors, and flash units in its N-series devices, certainly won't be disappointing impromptu photogs making their first jump into Symbian^3. Just imagine what Nokia hardware coupled with a killer user experience could do. Could do. Embedded video sample after the break.
Update: All About Symbian has a marvelously detailed breakdown of the N8's camera that dives deeply into the phone's optics, mic, flash, and more.
