Alaska Airlines ditches paper flight manuals for iPads (www.drmobiles.co.nz)

The iPad has already gotten the go-ahead from the FAA as a replacement for paper flight charts and maps, and now Alaska Airlines has become the first major US airline to hop on board the paperless bandwagon. While it's not quite ready to ditch paper navigation charts just yet (though that is under consideration), the airline has announced that it will be replacing its traditional flight manuals with iPads, which will be loaded up with the GoodReader app and PDFs of 41 different manuals and other materials. According to the airline, that change will result in savings of about 2.4 million pieces of paper, and it says the cost of the project will be offset by fuel savings from the reduced weight, and additional savings that are expected from "fewer back and muscle injuries caused by pilots carrying flight bags," which can weigh up to 50 pounds. Let's just hope those newly lightened flight bags still have room for a charging cable.

The Sony Ericsson Xperia PLAY finally available at O2 UK, white one too! Smartphone repair by www.drmobiles.co.nz

The Sony Ericsson Xperia Play generated a lot of hype for a phone with a single core CPU in the year 2011. We guess that has something to do with the PlayStation blood it has running in its veins. Now the phone is finally available from O2 UK, after several delays. And they've got an exclusive white color as well. The phone will cost you nothing on a contract and 430 quid if you want it commitment-free.

O2 has talked on the exclusive white PlayStation phone before, bragging about it, even though they had a significant delay of their 1 April release. Then there was the rumor that the Play will hit O2 shops in June, which finally turns out untrue as it's already online at the O2 store as we speak.

The Xperia Play comes with a single core 1 GHz Snapdragon processor, 512 MB RAM, 5 MP autofocus camera and a slide-out gaming pad. If you're interested in how this bad boy handles why not check out our full review?

Samsung Sidekick 4G announced by T-Mobile, "Samsung Repair", "Samsung Unlock"

T-Mobile has confirmed the introduction of Sidekick 4G, a next generation cellular phone powered by Android. The introduction of Sidekick phones was planned by Samsung and T-Mobile which was known to the industry. Pre-launch web page of Sidekick 4G was made live on T-Mobile’s site from middle of February this year. It has been confirmed by T-Mobile that that cloud services powered by Danger servers would be shut down 31st May 2011 onwards. Termination of these servers is a precursor to the launch of new generation handsets.

Sidekick 4G is a transition from an elementary Sidekick brand to a fully featured smartphone. Sidekick 4G based on Android 2.2 would have exceptional smart appearance and integrated with messaging, media, and social networking applications. As always 4G handsets target the young generation that love such features. These handsets are expected to hit the market in late spring only on T-Mobile range.
