It took a couple of kicks to the sticker price and a range-slashing redesign, but Coda's all-electric sedan is finally ready to take you a stone's throw away from your nearest EV charger. Haggling starts at $37,250 at select dealers in California, although exploiting the right tax credits could knock as much as 10k off the MSRP. The 31kWH 125 mile range sedans are mostly rolling out dealerships around Los Angeles, though the car can be found in Silicon Valley and the Century City Westfield Mall as well. The first 500 electric motorists to bite will be awarded with a commemorative keychain, a numbered plaque for their vehicle's center console and other "limited edition features" for adopting early. Read on for Coda's official press release.
All of those Kinect-enabled Xbox 360 video apps Microsoft has been promising since last year's dashboard update continue to slowly leak out, and the latest is the BBC iPlayer. Already long available on the Nintendo Wii and PlayStation 3, UK gamers finally have access to the catalog of titles on any major console they choose. The Xbox 360 supports HD streams and, of course, voice and gesture control courtesy of that little add-on, however unlike many of the services on Microsoft's box, this one is available to all users with or without an Xbox Live Gold subscription. Platforms that are next up for iPlayer's blessing? Sky AnyTime+ is confirmed for later this year while a Windows Phone 7 is reportedly being developed. Check after the break for a couple more shots of the interface, plus a video demo for users on the appropriate side of the pond.
Get out the salt shaker, because there's a new Windows Phone rumor making its way across the web today. Citing sources "familiar with Sprint's LTE game plan," SprintFeed is reporting that the carrier is looking to launch a new LTE-enabled handset later this year -- one that'll allegedly run Windows Phone 8, commonly known as Apollo. These sources also claimed that the device still has to run through a series of tests, implying that it would likely hit the market this Fall, at the earliest. Beyond that, details run pretty thin, but we'll be sure to keep an eye on it going forward.
