Motorola Mobility is sending out invitations to a press conferences scheduled to take place on September 18th in London. What makes the invite stand out is the Intel logo that’s located right next to Motorla Mobility’s logo. This means we can look forward to seeing an x86 based smartphone from a “traditional” handset maker. There are several Intel based smartphones out on the market, but they’re from companies like Lava. That’s not to say Lava isn’t a great company, they just don’t have the same sort of clout that Motorola does.

Every iOS device on the market has a chip inside that was manufactured by Samsung. Apple, looking to distance themselves from Samsung because they’re one of their fiercest competitors, has long been rumored to switch to TSMC. TSMC is a Taiwanese company that makes chips. One of their most well known clients is Qualcomm. Qualcomm can’t feed demand for their new Snapdragon S4 part fast enough. According to a report from Bloomberg, both Apple and Qualcomm have offered TSMC at least $1 billion so that they can get secure some, but not all, of TSMC’s output. TSMC turned down both of them for reasons we don’t quite understand. TSMC needs the money to increase their output, otherwise the smartphone market is going to experience a chip shortage. Did TSMC request more money than either Apple or Qualcomm were willing to offer? The world may never know. What is known however is that TSMC says they would rather remain flexible when it comes to picking their customers.

Nokia has just uploaded a 21 second video to YouTube that features a young woman riding her bicycle near a shipping yard. The woman doesn’t say anything, but at the end of the video a block of text appears saying “THINGS ARE ABOUT TO CHANGE” and then the date 05.09.2012 appears. That date, the 5th of September, is when Nokia is going to hold a press event in New York City where it’s widely believed that the Finnish handset maker will announce at least one Windows Phone 8 device. Last week reporters from The Verge said their sources tell them we’ll see two devices. One codenamed “Phi”, which is supposed to be a successor to the Lumia 800 and Lumia 900, and another codenamed “Arrow” that will be a midrange device. It’s safe to say that “Phi” will have a 720p display and a dual core Qualcomm Snapdragon processor under the hood. As for “Arrow”, we haven’t got the slightest clue what it’s supposed to bring to the table. Continue reading “Nokia says “things are about to change” on September 5th”
