Microsoft adds Groupon-style deals to BingFriday, March 4th, 2011Microsoft has rolled out a new incentive to attract and keep more Bing users: Group deals. On March 3, Microsoft introduced “Bing deals” for the desktop and mobile (m.bing.com) via a partnership with The Dealmap. Via the partnership, Bing users in the U.S. will get access to “more than 200,000 unique offers in over 14,000 cities and towns,” according to Microsoft. The Dealmap aggregates group deals from sources including Groupon, Living Social and Restaurant.com, among other sites.
Update: For now, on the mobile front, Bing deals are for iPhone and Android phones only, as reader @thedavidk pointed out. Microsoft’s official statement: “The (deals) functionality is based on HTML5 and will work with phones that support it, but today is being released for iOS and Android. Windows Phone 7 announced that they will have HTML5 support in an update later this calendar year, at which point deals will work great on Windows Phone.” Bookmark/Search this post with:
Sprint, Kyocera’s Echo Phone Gives Android New HardwareWednesday, February 9th, 2011
Now, evidently, it’s time for the dual-screen philosophy to make its way to smartphones. On Feb. 7, Sprint hosted a high-profile event in New York City to debut the Kyocera Echo, an Android smartphone with two 3.5-inch WVGA touch screens connected by a hinge. All in all, the Echo is 4.53 inches long, 2.23 inches wide, and 0.68 inches thick. Depending on that hinge’s angle, those screens can perform multiple functions. Slide one over the other, the Echo looks and feels like a somewhat thicker single-screen smartphone. Slid flat and side-by-side, the smartphone offers a 4.7-inch screen (broken by the hinge) for displaying movies and other media (each screen offers 800×480 resolution). One screen tilted at an angle to the other allows for typing on a virtual keyboard, on one screen, while viewing, say, e-mail or Facebook on the other. Bookmark/Search this post with:
