What happened to X1 panels development competition?

I thought there was a competition held by Sony Ericsson for developing the panels and the last entry date was supposed to have been 31st Jan.
I am unable to find any updates on internet or anywhere for the same. Does anyone have any idea on this?
Thanks

The last date for entries was the 31st Jan, and you are expecting announcements four days later???

Thanks for your reply .. I was just looking for an update and not the winners list !

Maybe not an announcement but some form of info would be nice. Since saying that the competition has been extended (which IMO itself proves the general lack of interestin Xperia Panels) there has been no update, no info, not even any hope that the competition is still going let alone that we might get any decent panels out of it. SE payed a shedload to SPB for mobile shell, seems to me they'l have to do it again to get anything worth marketing...

If you bother to read the SE website you'll see winners are to be announced on the 9th Feb.
Also if you click on the Panels button on this page:
http://developer.sonyericsson.com/site/contentawards/nominees/p_nominees2008.jsp you'll see five new panels (although with no direct download links).

they all look a bit **** apart from the sbp travaller what i already have

they finally realized that the panels are a pointless marketing scheme and trashed the whole thing.

"T Mobile to release G2 Update within the next 10 days"

Found this on the T Mobile Discussions site.
"RE: G2 / HTC Hero Updated ROM
Posted: 4 hours ago in response to: edwaadoHi everyone,
First of thanks for all of your comments, good and bad we do care and we needed to ask a few internal questions so that we could give you the right answer.
The G2 update was initially scheduled for release at the end of October / early November. However, as a result of your feedback on our forum this is no longer the case. Subsequently:
· The update is currently undergoing intensive testing as part of an accelerated activity
· We expect to release the update to you within the next 10 days
· We will give you an update on Weds afternoon as to how this is going and confirm the timelines
We can also confirm that the update will be available via a download and not as an OTA update. It will be available through the T-Mobile website and we’ll post the link to it in the forums as soon as it’s available.
Thanks again for all your feedback, please keep it coming and we’ll update again on Weds.
Cheers, T-Mobile Forum Team"

May be of interest to anyone not ready to tinker with there Hero yet,
like me.
Hope this hasn't been posted already, I did look and and couldn't see it.

Gah, if only Orange would get their act together!

Just got mine
This morning at like 5 am I got my over the air update that added tethering and wifi calling, and so far my swype is faster as well.
Just wanted to shed a glimmer of hope for all of you out there waiting.

Any 29th batchers get confirmations yet?

Anyone in the 29th batch get a confirmation yet. I haven't.

You're in Japan as well? I hope it takes only 2 days to get here. The wait is killing me.

Chinese new year starts I think today, if they wait to ship it will be 3 weeks.

I was one of those 50 un-fortunate guys whose shipping date changed from 9th Jan to 15-22 Jan and to 29th Jan, its already 3:00 p.m in U.A.E and no news from NI or factory. I'm not asking for any tracking no, just need a confirmation at moment that its shipped. I really don't know what to talk about this company at the moment. We all have waited so long with false hope. At-least NI don't fails us again.

Well, it is almost 8 pm in China at the moment, so I lost my faith in it at this moment...
why why why???

All i can say is HAVE FAITH IN GOD.

Keep your faith, but I think, fairytale figures are not sending any tablets.
You will wait in vain, I'm afraid.

Think positive. Better to get adam in March, than next year.

Honestly, I am ok with it being delayed, but in all honesty its bad form to post a sarcastic blog about how everything is not delayed, and then have it delayed:

Better to have a Xoom in February than an Adam in March.
...all kidding aside, I'm really hoping they got the shipments out and just haven't updated things. With the holidays going in in China right now, it could REALLY slow things down and I'm not interested in waiting any longer.
--edit--
And to the topic of the thread, there hasn't been any change in my order status lately. (Moved from the 9th to the 15th-22nd window to the 29th.)

Yeah, I am not going to wait if my order gets pushed back again. This is getting rediculous. Their are so many great tablets coming out and if I can't get my Adam soon I am going to go else where. Don't get me wrong, I really want the Adam but I feel add if notion ink thinks that everyone is going to put up with continual delays without giving us any info as to what's going on. They should at least give us an update as it is the 29th.

I honestly cannot see us (the 9th > 15th-22nd > 29th club) getting their Adams for at least 2 weeks - Chinese New Year.
A shameful lack of communication from NI and hve you guys realised the "cancel your order has been removed from the NI preorder update page.
I have been a loyal follower for 9 months, I'm just disappointed to say I no longer believe anything posted by Rohan regarding hardware specs and especially shipping dates.
Rohan Shravan just outright refuses to update on shipping which is an enormous worry. The last he said was "2nd and 3rd" batches would ship on time and then slips in the Chinese New Year problem.

I don't even have a pre-order so i am thinking April+ for me(and many others) to have a chance to get one.
I don't envy Mr. Shravan to much, he must be under much stress from all directions.

Well, maybe........
- I read somewhere that a notification will be send only after it arrived in Hong Kong, not out of the fabric
- The cancellation link from our preordersite has been removed
- Rohan said in his blog the 2nd batch will be in time
- There is no statement of delay such as the last delay (12 seconds before end of day)
- Chinese New Year starts on tuesday?
So maybe, just maybe we will get our trackingmail on monday, the last day before Chinese New Year???
Fingers crossed :-o
Leon

I read someone in NotionAddicts requested a cancellation on the shipping date, and was told (s)he could still cancel as his (her) Adam was not shipped.
So, I rather assume the shipment was delayed without any notice / a change in the estimated shipping date on the NI site than get disappointed.

I'm pretty sure Rohan stated on the blog that all the Adams would be shipped out even during the chinese new year. And that a small batch of screens got busted on their way over, but the company that makes them will stay and fix the ones that got broken before they leave for the new year.
Here's his quote taken from the blog:
"The second & third phase of shipments will start on time.
Little bad and good news, one of our shipments for the touch screens got damaged while transportation which is going to effect a fraction of our customers. To make things worse, its New Year in China and every manufacturing plant is closed. But our touch-screen partners, Sinotek (also known as Sintek), will stay open for the Chinese New Year and re-manufacture all the remaining touch screens to deliver. I am making this special note, because we are really overwhelm at their response and want to thank all the employees at their firm who are going to miss their New Year celebrations and home visits."
So have hope! At least you made it into the pre orders. I have to wait until they open it up to the public.

Samsung/XDA part2

I haven't forgot about you guys. Today we had a meeting with XDA owners via telephone. Were just getting everything ready before we make a huge announcement. I told you guys I'm NOT going to let you guys down. Just be a little patient.

Hey John, I'm thinking about taking the plunge on getting the Motorola Atrix. But, I would rather get the new Samsung Galaxy S 2. But, Samsung won't say when to expect it in the U.S. and we'll see it in euro/Asia by the end of February. The other concern I have is will Samsung support their devices better this year by having quicker update releases?

Disappointed to see the other thread is closed. My feedback for Samsung would be as follows:
Samsung Tab buyers invested a lot of their hard earned dollars to purchase your first tablet product and many are locked into 2 year carrier agreements. As such we expect that Samsung will support their product with regular platform updates as they are available (Gingerbread and Honeycomb being examples). We realize Samsung doesn't have a crystal ball to ensure exsisting hardware can always support future versions of Android but we also don't expect our devices to be stuck in time.
Thanks,

Galaxy S III First Official Appearance on web! (GT-i9300)

The Galaxy S line was such a hit that Google even gave its latest "Nexus" phone to Samsung. Not just that, the Google even gave up the naming convention it’s been using to date, allowing Samsung’s "Galaxy" branding to come before the Nexus name. The Samsung Galaxy Nexus was born.
But what about Samsung’s bread and butter? What about its own Galaxy S line?
With Mobile World Congress not too far away now it had been expected that we would be seeing some movement from the Koreans, with the show offering a great place to announce a new handset.
That suggestion has been blown out of the water at late, and Samsung’s own executives seem to think that the whole Samsung Galaxy S III thing is under review. That almost confirms there will be no announcement just yet.
It’s entirely possible that Samsung is concerned about a new Galaxy S handset cannibalizing the current Galaxy S sales and is currently mulling over when to bring the highly anticipated handset to market.
All that said, a photo has popped up of what appears to be the Samsung UAE website, with the new handset showing in a drop-down list. The Samsung GT-I9300 as it is expected to be known, is clearly visible in a list that includes all of Samsung’s smartphones. Does that mean someone somewhere at Samsung is being a little coy about release dates, or has someone had a case of the itchy trigger finger and sent a page live that wasn’t ready?

this kind of thing is becoming often day after day. i don't think it is someone`s mistake to let information about smartphones and other gadgets being know before their release... this is marketing!
anyway, galaxy s is for sure one of the best smartphones line ever, and a new release would be awesome!

lame, no photo. lame.

Samsung stays committed to providing the best possible mobile experiences for customers around the world."

"This is just the start of leaks"? Really? There have been supposed "leaks" for the past 4 months. This whole thread is old news, and has been covered in at least 5 other different threads today. As per your original post, I DID NOT hit the thanks button, as this in no way shape or form help me or any other user on XDA.
