- Alcatel OT-915 with QWERTY keyboard, Gingerbread said to be launching at MWC
How do you improve on the phone we described as “one of the cheesiest Android devices we’ve ever handled”? If you’re Alcatel, you switch from a sliding to candybar form factor, ditch the large, candy-colored buttons and add a touchscreen. That about sums up the OT-915, a budget handset that’s slated to make its official debut at Mobile World Congress later this month, but whose existence Electricpig claims to have confirmed weeks in advance. That press shot up there, if accurate, speaks for itself: what we have here is a full QWERTY device whose button layout and style borders on BlackBerry KIRF. Other specs include a 2.8-inch, 240 x 320 touchscreen, a 5-megapixel camera, WiFI, FM radio, 11.9mm-thick profile and Android 2.3 as an OS. Electricpig, based in the UK, reports the phone is headed to Blighty at some unspecified date, though it’s unclear what other (typically non-US) markets it’ll reach. For now, we leave you with that one photo up there, but you know if we see this thing on the show floor at Barcelona we’ll hit you back with more details and the requisite hands-on treatment.Alcatel OT-915 with QWERTY keyboard, Gingerbread said to be launching at MWC originally appeared on Engadget on Tue, 14 Feb 2012 17:16:00 EDT.

- Microsoft guide explains how to submit apps to the Windows Store (video)
Microsoft is serious about Windows 8, and if you’re serious about submitting Metro-style apps then there’s now a healthily long and detailed blog post (at the source link) explaining how. The post suggests that Redmond’s app police are looking at a roughly a six-day turnaround for signing off and publishing the average title, with content compliance taking the longest time because it involves “real people.” As the real person in the video after the break makes clear, your first goal should be to reserve your app’s name so no one else can take it. (You do have a name for it, right?)

Microsoft | Email this | Comments - HP unveils Z1 all-in-one workstation: 27-inch IPS display, starts at $1,899
If you fancy yourself a power user, HP’s got a “world’s first” trick up its sleeve that might lure you in. Earlier today, the Palo Alto outfit took the wraps off its newest all-in-one, the HP Z1. This workstation is a mere distant cousin to HP’s consumer-focused Omni and TouchSmart lines — not that that’s a bad thing. The machine comes sporting a 27-inch, 2560 x 1440, IPS display, the back of which snaps open for easy access when making hardware tweaks and, if you wisely choose to take the premium road, you could be walking out with a quad-core Intel Xeon CPU and NVIDIA Quadro graphics, as well as your choice of a 160GB or 300GB SSD for storage. Needless to say, it all depends on how much dough you’re willing to part with. HP says the Z1 is expected to ship around April, with the lowest-end model starting at $1,899. It’ll be a while before you can get your hands on one, but in the meantime you can keep yourself entertained by checking out those glossy press shots below.Gallery: HP Z1 press shots
