Details emerging on the Treo Pro
Palm Infocenter have come across some specs of the Treo Pro. There are a couple of software apps that should enhance usage, obviously depending on your operator. Check it out after the break.

Mobility Today have got their mitts on a bunch of high quality pictures of the upcoming Treo. Call it the 850w or the Pro it’s still a mighty fine looking device with some specs to match and easily my device of choice. A couple after the break.
There are a lot of small form factor laptop and UMPC style devices finding their way on to the market at the moment, each of them hoping to be the next Eee PC. The problem is that many of them are simple copying the Eee PC concept and not putting a great deal of ‘new stuff’ in to the mix.
So are Gigabyte hoping to break the mould with the M912? On the face of it the M912 may seem similar to the other UMPC’s on offer from Acer or MSi but there is a difference with the Gigabyte and that come in the form of a touch screen and hinge mechanism that allows you to use the M912 as a tablet PC as well as a more conventional mini-laptop.
Nigel is currently working on the review of the Gigabyte M912 which should be online within the next few weeks. For now you can enjoy the unboxing video below:

Mickey Papillon The Cell Phone Junkie has just posted up a great review of the Sidekick 2008. This Quad Band GSM (850/900/1800/1900) phone has GPRS/EDGE for its always-on connectivity. The dimensions of the Sidekick measure 4.72” by 2.26” by .73” and it has a weight of 4.8 oz. For comparison, the Treo 750 measures 4.37” by 2.28” by .87” and has a weight of 5.4oz. More details after the break.
Since I posted my HTC Touch Pro video yesterday I’ve had tons of requests of photos of the Pro next to the Diamond to that you can judge the difference in size. So, not to disappoint anyone here are a few shots of the two devices side-by-side.
Having spent the last 24 hrs with the Touch Pro I have to say that it is by far the best phone I’ve had for years! Definitely better than my TyTN II and, for me anyway, better than the HTC Touch Diamond. I do still like the Diamond but with my heavy email use a QWERTY keyboard is a must!
As you can see from the shots above, the Touch Pro is almost twice as thick as the Diamond and about 50% heavier. However, despite being about 30 grams lighter than the HTC TyTN II it feels heavier in your hand, perhaps because it’s more compact.
Signal strength on the HTC Touch Pro is better than the Diamond. We live in the middle of nowhere with poor network coverage, the Diamond rarely picks up a signal but the Pro has a couple of bars.
We’ll have a full review for you soon but if there is anything you would like to know about the HTC Touch Pro in the meantime then please drop us a line!

WMExperts have managed to find some more great pictures of the Palm Treo 850 or Palm Treo Pro. This is looking like a sweet device for the front facing keyboard lovers out there. Shame it is only a 320 x 320 screen and carries a lousy 2 mega pixel camera, but hey we cannot have everything. Oh and where have I seen that glossy plastic curved back before? Spec and pictures after the break.
Pictures have surfaced today reported to have been leaked by a Palm training site of the much rumoured Palm 850 series GSM device. This is the GSM version of the CDMA only 800W but does seem to have had a bit of a makeover. I really like the black colour scheme of this phone, makes it look very professional. If these are real this must be launching pretty soon. Check out the pictures after the break.
Managed to get my hands on the much anticipated HTC Touch Pro today and I have had a few minutes to put together a quick video look at the hardware and software of the device and I have to say so far I am very impressed with the usability and overall speed of the TouchFlo UI. I will be writing up a full review, but before I do I will be using the device for a few days to make sure I get a good feel for it. In the meantime check out the video after the break.
HTC seem to be getting better at supporting their devices (Thanks Mobility Today.) They have upped some new drivers for the HTC Shift. Hitting us with updates of the Intel Chipset Driver, Intel VGA Driver, Vista EC Driver, Touch Screen Driver, Synaptics Micro Pad Driver, Realtek Audio Driver, Vitakey AC5023 Fingerprint Software and Driver Update, and Extension Kit (USB, Lan Port) Driver.
