HTC Touch

2007-11-20T05:28:00.000-08:00

HTC just made their "major" announcement. Are you ready for it... wait... it's the Elf now official with its "Touch" street name. Right, the Windows Mobile device we first saw six months ago and already formally announced by O2 Germany as the Xda nova. HTC's big surprise? Well, the Touch is the first device to feature TouchFLO touchscreen technology "developed by HTC" -- though we think Microsoft had a little something to do with it. It's not multi-touch like the iPhone, but it does offer a "new and unique" way to sweep a finger (or stylus) across the screen to control the 3D interface. To recap, the diminutive 99.9 x 58 x 13.9-mm Touch runs Windows Mobile 6 with TouchFLO UI on a 2.8-inch display and OMAP850 processor while packing tri-band 900/1800/1900 GSM with EDGE, 802.11b/g WiFi, Bluetooth 2.0, 1GB microSD expansion included, and a 2 megapixel cam. Best of all, it's available now in the UK, later this month around Europe and Asia, and then North and Latin America in the 2nd half of the year.

Hack: Play ripped PS1 games on PSP

2007-11-04T11:21:00.000-08:00

Tired of waiting for Sony to release your favorite classic PlayStation game for PlayStation Portable playback through the PlayStation 3's PlayStation Store?* Well, if you don't mind hacking your firmware and breaking what is no doubt a bevy of Sony end-user licensing agreements, you can now play a ripped copy of any PlayStation disc on the PSP.

PSP users that upgrade to the Dark Alex's Open Edition firmware 3.02-B can play ISOs ripped off of PlayStation discs right from a MemoryStick. Commenters report that the emulation runs at full speed with perfect sound, but PAL games seem to have some graphical glitches. Still, a nice Christmas gift for the hacking/piracy community.

* - We tried to squeeze the word PlayStation into that sentence one more time, but we just couldn't manage it.

The New Nokia Extends E-series with E51

2007-10-25T07:41:00.000-07:00

Nokia has introduced it's all new dual-mode business device, the Nokia E51.

The dual-mode E51 is compatible both with GSM networks and Wi-Fi hotspots, enabling VoIP (voice over Internet Protocol) service in addition to traditional networks.

The slim E51 promises greater simplicity, faster access, and tighter integration with key applications, while maintaining the E-series design and capabilities.

Claimed to be an all-round device, the E51 offers mobility solutions such as telephony, email and messaging, plus office phone functionality, and the convenience that goes with one phone number, one voice mailbox, and one dial plan in a single device.

For ease-of-use, the E51 features a home screen where users can choose to have icons of frequently used applications.

The device comes with a dedicated email key on the front cover, an indicator light for new emails, and a preview window for the latest email on the home screen, as also other one-touch keys for one-click access to key functions like email, contacts, calendar, and home screen.

E51's set-up wizards offer step-by-step guidance for setting up email accounts, configuring Internet calling, and accessing wireless LAN.

The E51 offers integration with a wide range of business email solutions, including Nokia Intellisync Wireless Email and Mail for Exchange to communicate with Microsoft Exchange Server.

The device is capable of integrating with corporate telephony systems (PBX) through Nokia Mobile Unified Communications solutions such as Intellisync Call Connect for Cisco and Alcatel.

Besides business features, the E51 is equipped with personal applications such as FM radio, music and multimedia player, a 2-megapixel camera, and the Nokia browser interoperable with Windows Live.

The E51 will be globally available during the fourth quarter of 2007 for an unsubsidized retail price of approximately 350 EUR

3rd Party Apps on iPhone

2007-10-19T11:34:00.000-07:00

Ok guys! We're going to have an SDK. My friends was talking about it , but we never thought that the announcement would be for today. Steve Jobs officially announced that an iPhone SDK (Software development kit) will be available now. With this SDK, the "approved" developers will be able to develop native iPhone applications.

Here's how the God of portable gadgets, Steve Jobs, announced the news: "Let me just say it: We want native third party applications on the iPhone, and we plan to have an SDK in developers' hands in February. We are excited about creating a vibrant third party developer community around the iPhone and enabling hundreds of new applications for our users. With our revolutionary multi-touch interface, powerful hardware and advanced software architecture, we believe we have created the best mobile platform ever for developers."

Besides the iPhone announcement itself last January, this is probably the most important iPhone news ever. A few weeks after the official iPhone release last June, hundreds of iPhone native applications were developed using the jailbreaking software released by the iPhone hacking community. You can bet, now that Apple will officially permit iPhone 3^rd party apps, that many established companies will also jump on the iPhone application bandwagon and release powerful iPhone applications. Hopefully, tons of productivity tools will be coming our way...

There is so much more that can be done with this device. Until now, iPhone had a bright future. But with this announcement, iPhone has the brightest future of all mobile devices out there. Period.

One thing I wondering though, is how long it's going to take before an iPod Touch SDK is announced?

11 more reasons NOT to buy an iPhone (and that you haven’t thought of)

2007-10-19T10:56:00.000-07:00

I know that some of you are undecided about whether you will order an iPhone. In this post, I will state 11 reasons why you shouldn’t buy one.

You may already have identified the high price, ($499-$599) as a good reason against doing so. Or, you may be on another carrier’s plan and don’t want to pay the um, substantial penalty for early withdrawal just to sign a two-year with iPhone’s exclusive carrier AT&T Mobility.

But after riffing through New York Times’ tech reviewer David Pogue’s terrific Often Asked iPhone Questions piece this morning, I’ve identified 11 more reasons you shouldn’t buy an iPhone.

Ready for a dose of tech-flavored conscience?

1. While iPhone will work with any SIM card from exclusive iPhone carrier AT&T Wireless No other carrier’s SIM phone will work with iPhone.
2. If you are wearing gloves, the iPhone’s virtual keypad won’t work. That’s a concern for wintertime phone calls in cold areas.

3. No memos.
4. No voice dialing.
5. No voice recording.
6. No games.
7. No capacity for video output to a tv (as iPod has).
8. No capacity for over-the-air calendar appointments.
9. No capacity for over-the-air software updates.
10. No IM. Gotta use text messaging.
11. No flash or zoom in the camera.
