Looks like Cingular is going to release the Cingular 8125 replacement soon. It is called Cingular 8525 and it should arrive just in time for the holiday season. Although it is based on the HTC Hermes, the front camera for video calling as well as the feature to do video calls have been removed.

JAVOedge has a line of accessories for this device available already, so you can protect your future 8525 right out of the box!

James Kim from CNET has reviewed the new Archos 604 PMP.

Archos’s 604 represents the latest in an esteemed line of gadgets from the king of portable video players (PVPs, or PMPs). Superb construction and design, an all-encompassing feature list, and solid performance should make this übergadget a highly coveted item, particularly because of its shockingly low base price of $350.

Recently, Motorola released a significant software update for its Motorola Q smartphone, but this was withdrawn shortly thereafter. Days later, it has not yet re-appeared.

Apparently, the version of this ROM update that was pulled was only a beta. The final version will be released at some point, though exactly when this will happen is not yet known.

Not surprisingly, anyone really looking for a copy of this software can find it, but Motorola is urging Q users to not install it, as any damage that results from running the beta of this update isn’t covered under warranty.

A leak of pictures from Cingular suggests that this new Treo will be a GSM device which will be carried by Cingular. From the pictures, it seems to be running Palm OS and not Windows Mobile, but they may release two versions like the Treo 700w and 700p. The date of release expected to be October 2006.
