At over five feet wide, this drone is not for noobs
Imagine: You turn up at CES with a big ass hexacopter, only to find it's not even the biggest drone at the show. Not by a country mile. Still, at 5.4 feet across and 1.65 feet tall, Aee's F600 is still a bit of a beast. Of course, you don't make a drone this size to carry a GoPro. The F600 is designed for industrial use. Think heavy-duty tasks like servicing oil rigs in high winds, as the six large rotors give it much more stability than your average Phantom.
Orange UK loses out on F600 (HTC Star Trek)
We can only imagine hearts across the UK are breaking this evening on news that HTC's clamshell Smartphone, the Star Trek, won't be finding its way to Orange's British network as the F600 after all. You might recall that MoDaCo had scooped a handful of HTC launches on Orange several weeks ago, and they've since learned that the F600 is destined for Orange in the Netherlands, but as of right now, no UK launch appears to be planned. Of course, resourceful Brits should have no trouble whatsoever getting hold of one of the Star Trek's other brand variants, but there's always something about a canceled HTC launch that leaves us with a sick feeling in our stomachs nonetheless.[Via CoolSmartPhone]
Orange shows small army of Windows Mobile devices
Talk about sensory overload -- MoDaCo got its hands on a bunch of semi-official Orange debuts for a number of devices over the weekend, and we have to admit, we're insanely jealous. Perhaps the most interesting of the bunch, Samsung's "Blackjack" WM5 Smartphone comes fresh on the heels of the i320, offering basically the same functionality plus 3G data and a forward-facing camera for video calling (feeling the heat, Moto?). Also shown were the HTC Breeze and Oxygen, known on Orange as the C700 and C100 respectively; no real surprises here, though we can now confirm that the Oxygen won't be sporting DTV like we had previously heard might be the case. In case that all doesn't have ya impressed, the Hermes (M3100) and Star Trek (F600) showed up for the party, too. Don't know about you, but we're feeling a bit overwhelmed here; excuse us while we lie down for just a few minutes.
