X1 Xperia webcast video

image In case you missed the Sony Ericsson webcast event yesterday showing off the Xperia X1, the guys over at inxperia managed to grab the video and we have it after the break for you to watch. The good news is they missed the first part which to be honest was all the marketing stuff you don’t want to see anyway and it is straight into the hands on section so it is worth a watch if this one is of interest to you.

HTC Touch HD now official

Just days after the first images of the HTC Touch HD leaked out on the web HTC have officially announced the device with a full press release (below) and by adding the product to their site.

The Touch HD is one device that I am very excited about but it looks like it’ll be on the large side, I suspect along the lines of the HTC Blue Angel in form.

Devicewire already have the HTC Touch HD listed on their site and are expecting to have them in stock from the 10th November! No word on pricing at the moment but head over to their product page where you’ll be able to check the price and get availability updates.

NEW HTC TOUCH HDTM RAISES BAR FOR MOBILE INTERNET AND ENTERTAINMENT

Large, 3.8 inch wide-screen VGA display, HTC TouchFLOTM 3D, desktop-class broadband browsing and a 3.5mm audio jack and more provide the ultimate entertainment combination

Taoyuan, Taiwan — September 16th, 2008 — HTC Corporation, a global leader in mobile phone innovation and design, today unveiled its latest handset, the HTC Touch HDTM, an entertainment focused mobile handset that will transform how people experience multimedia on the move. Integrating a large 3.8 inch wide-screen VGA display (WVGA), a standard 3.5mm audio jack and a 5 megapixel camera with autofocus, the HTC Touch HDTM is the perfect device for multimedia fans.

Shifting the boundaries of design and innovation
The HTC Touch HDTM combines high performance capabilities with a stylish, sleek design that has made HTC a global leader in mobile phone design and innovation. Its large 3.8 inch WVGA touchscreen offers users stunning clarity and vibrant colours, providing an unrivalled experience when watching movies, browsing the Internet or even scanning through photos taken with the 5 megapixel auto focus camera.

The stylish new device also features HTC’s beautiful TouchFLO™ 3D user interface to provide quick and intuitive access to the people, messages and content that are most important. A standard 3.5mm headphone jack has also been designed-in, allowing consumers to use high-performance headphones with the device for the best possible sound quality.

“Today, Widescreen TV, Internet and video have become the standard so there is no reason to compromise when you leave the house, the Touch HDTM delivers that uncompromising multimedia and Internet experience,” said Peter Chou, president and CEO HTC Corporation. “We are living in a time where the concept of entertainment has radically changed. The internet is so much more than just email and our customers expect to be able to access the Internet and high quality multimedia content no matter where they are in the world.”

Getting the most out of the Internet
The large high resolution, widescreen display combined with download speeds up to 18 times faster than standard 3G, enables the HTC Touch HDTM to render websites quickly and in full-page width. This provides a comparable Internet experience to that of home broadband in terms of both speed and page layout. This true mobile broadband experience allows users to navigate more easily, leveraging the mobile internet in a variety of ways. For example, browsing to favourite websites, using Google Maps to find a restaurant for lunch, searching for and streaming video from YouTube or even catching up to the minute news, blog posts and video podcasts with the integrated RSS reader, will be more intuitive for consumers familiar with desktop browsing.

No compromise 
The HTC Touch HDTM has been conceived for both business and consumer users alike, who demand style and performance and do not think the two are mutually exclusive. The HTC Touch HDTM is the ideal handset for people who are embracing the mobile multimedia shift but who do not wish to forgo quality, simply by being on the move.

Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 preview video and photos

As you probably know, we were at the Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 today where we were introduced to the device as well as Johnny-X.

Paul (MoDaCo) and I managed to get a little bit of hands on time with the device so I took a few photos for you and we recorded a video tour for you to enjoy. There is another event for the X1 later this week so we will try to get more hands-on time and naturally secure a review unit!

Get the TouchFlo experience without a new phone

image Coolsmartphone have spotted that the clever bods over at xda-developers have managed to port the TouchFlo 3D software used on the Diamond and Touch Pro to use on other Windows Mobile devices. So far it’s been tested on a few devices, the Kaiser (HTC TyTN II), Nike (Touch Dual) and others. There’s a main CAB file plus a YouTube CAB file to install, plus you’ll need Opera and Google Maps installed to get everything working. Leigh has posted a video showing the software in action which you can see along with download links after the break.
