- DirecTV shows off its new HD UI with a website and trailer, still no release date
That slick, speedy new interface DirecTV recently pushed out to beta testers is officially getting hyped with a new landing page and (unfortunately not embeddable) video trailer. It advertises all the features we’d heard about, including the facelifted HD graphics, “lightning fast” scrolling, visual browsing experience and personalized recommendations. The HD UI is still without a release date however, and while we’d probably put it it ahead of the DirecTiVo on the company’s current priority list, let’s not forget who we’re dealing with here. Hit the source link for the orientation materials, there will be a quiz later.

DirecTV | Email this | Comments - Brand Table concept revolutionizes fast food, NFC still won’t make it good for you (video)
Jersey girls and boys can now tap and pay their way around, but for the Garden State’s myriad of malls, cash’ll still have to do. Not so for the Ozzies Down Under who may soon never have to leave the comfort of food court chairs — if they’re packing a Nexus S, that is. Designed as a concept by University of Sydney start-up SDigital, special coaster-like “brand stickers” affixed to eatery “brand tables” would relay fast-food menus to mobile phones via NFC. Hungry, hungry humans would then make their selections, order up and receive a vibrating notification when the food’s ready. It’s a contactless payment solution not unlike the QkR platform MasterCard demoed for us last month. And given our ever-increasing crawl towards the bleak adult baby form factor of our potential Wall-E futures, we’d say this tech’s right around the public release corner. Head on past the break for a video demo of the tukkis-numbing, Foodcourtia tech.

- T-Mobile’s Andrew Sherrard: ‘the iPhone is not the only option’
Remember when T-Mobile CMO Cole Brodman splashed a bucket of cold water on our hot iPhone 4S dreams? Yeah, well the carrier’s back to clarify its glaring lack of the handset in its lineup, and it appears the choice wasn’t the company’s to make. In a statement released today, SVP of Marketing Andrew Sherrard expressed the operator’s desire to play host to Apple’s latest device, but claims Cupertino’s omission of an AWS-friendly radio is the true culprit. In order for that phone to run competently on T-Mo’s 4G network, those 1700MHz bands would need to be serviced. In its stead, the exec points to other more capable phones currently on offer — namely, those bearing Android — while referring to the 4S’ apparent network issues. Fighting words or just a case of the sads? Follow past the break for the full quote straight from Magenta’s mouth.

vivo Pad trademarked with European IP Office
vivo trademarked several product names last year, one of which was the "vivo Pad" tablet that was expected to arrive in January. However, that didn't happen, and months later, there's still no word from vivo about its first tablet. But it looks the company will soon enter the tablet category since a vivo device, believed to be a tablet, bagged TUV certification earlier this month, and now the vivo Pad name has been trademarked with the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO). The vivo Pad is trademarked under Class 9, which covers over 20 product categories, including tablet...

Samsung Galaxy F42 5G seems to be a rebranded Galaxy A22 5G
Samsung's Galaxy F42 5G first surfaced last month when it received its Wi-Fi certification, and today it's back again, this time with the Bluetooth certification. This signifies that it's getting closer to launch. The weird thing is that the certification for the Galaxy F42 5G is shared with the one for the recently unveiled Galaxy A22 5G, and this strongly hints at the fact that the F42 5G may be nothing but a rebranded version of the A22 5G. It wouldn't be the first time Samsung did something like this with the F series rebranding products from the A series, in fact it's been pretty much...
