Apple holding a media event September 7, says Bloomberg

Category: Industry Happenings — admin @ 3:18 am

Not sure how exactly this slipped our neural net, perhaps it was added in a later update, but yesterday’s Bloomberg revelation about a potential Apple TV show rental service now also includes the following tip: Steve Jobs et al plan on hosting an event in San Francisco on September 7. This just so happens to be on a Tuesday and meshes perfectly with Apple’s annual Mac plus iPod touch promotion (which ends on the same day). Of course, we could’ve told you Apple would be holding an early September iPod refresh event this time last year — the real question is what else might be revealed during the keynote?

Sony circles August 24 for all-new Alpha DSLR launch event

Category: Industry Happenings — admin @ 11:18 am

News has been a bit barren on the DSLR front lately (not counting Pentax’s color explosion earlier on), but that’s not going to last for much longer. Sony is starting up the fall refresh cycle with “never-before-seen” Alpha models, which will be shown off at an event on August 24 alongside the NEX-VG10 and some 3D-capable Cyber-shots. We’ve no way of knowing what’s in store, but if you’re in a speculative kind of mood, Sony Alpha Rumors suggests the new shooters will include a semi-transparent mirror (most intriguing!) and a pleasingly fast 10fps burst shooting mode. That’s enough to whet our appetite, now bring on the full dish of details already.

[Thanks, Dario]

RIM and AT&T event next Tuesday — BlackBerry slider and OS 6 en route?

Category: Industry Happenings — admin @ 4:17 pm

Well well, what’s this? We just got an invite to a joint RIM / AT&T event next Tuesday, and we’d guess that means we’re about to see the official unveiling of the well-leaked BlackBerry 9800 slider with a side dish of BlackBerry OS 6. Either that, or RIM CEO Mike Lazaridis is going to explain how working two-way Gmail sync is a real problem that affects every smartphone and give us a tour of RIM’s top-secret email integration labs, but yeah — we’ve got our bets on new hardware. We’ll obviously be there live covering every detail, so make sure to tune in!

New Microsoft brand logos, company tagline revealed at MGX event? (update: no new logos, tagline is a go)

Category: Industry Happenings — admin @ 10:18 am

It looks like Microsoft may have revealed something big at its annual MGX (Microsoft Global Exchange) event, namely… new logos for its main brands and a fresh brand motto. “Be What’s Next” touts a teaser which has been posted on YouTube, along with a fast moving sequence of morphing logos, shuffling from Windows, to Windows Phone, Xbox, Bing, and finally the familiar Office logo that’s been kicking around for a little longer. It’s unclear if these are just treatments used for a promo at the event, or if this is a signal that Redmond is dumping its familiar (and frankly dated) iconography for something a little looser, leaner, and hipper, but we can’t say it would be a bad thing. It would certainly make sense against a backdrop of potential comeback in the mobile space, gains in search, and the seemingly successful (or at least satisfying) Windows 7 launch. One thing is for sure, MGX is a corporate, non-public opportunity for the Microsoft faithful to cheer the brand (Ballmer received a 30 year commemoration at MGX 2010), so this would definitely be the place to unfurl some new branding. Check the video after the break to see the new style, and hit the gallery below for a bigger look.

Update: So… the YouTube video has been pulled. Fear not, we’ve got our own copy!

Update 2: We’ve just been contacted by Microsoft and told that these are not new logos which will be used on products, rather a standalone treatment to show the flexibility of joined brands. However, the “Be What’s Next” tagline is real, and will be showing up here and there.

[Thanks, Anonymous]
