Press release:
VITO Technology Releases New Version 1.8 of iWindowsMobile Communication Suite. Communication Suite makes your Windows Mobile device look stunning with new graphics and finger-friendly interface and reveals the real potential of Windows Mobile touch screen device.
iWindowsMobile Communication Suite has in it all 5 bestsellers from VITO Technology including new Winterface 1.31, and the forever favourites SMS-Chat, FunContact, ZoomBoard and an improved free Weather app with added options and all bugs fixed.
If you haven’t tried our new Winterface 1.31 yet, here is what you will find different in it. It offers you the possibility to choose between black skin with white stylish icons or bright one with colorful icons and 3d images. Furthermore what makes Winterface even more attractive is the ability to switch on or off Windowed mode. This mode allows you either to show or hide the standard top WM bar that shows the essential info like start button, time, profile, mobile operator, etc.
Together with the new Winterface 1.31 this is what Communication Suite includes:
FunContact for managing all your contacts in a fun way with clear and stylish icons.
SMS-Chat for threaded SMS on your device where all SMS written and received appear in a very user friendly way.
ZoomBoard for finger-friendly typing with options to add any language you need.
Weather gives you regular updates on weather of the day and weather forecasts. The new Weather gives the option to choose how frequently updates should appear: every hour, 3 hours or 12 hours. The skin of Weather app changes together with the Winterface skin. All major bugs have also been fixed.
This one went under the radar at MWC 2009, but kudos to Hungarian site MobileArena for spotting it. It looks like the Gigabyte M1220 may turn out to be the second thinnest Windows Mobile device ever…beaten only by the original Motorola Q (by a mere .1 mm). The Windows Mobile 6.5-based device is running with a 528MHz CPU with 256MB ROM and 128MB RAM, plus has a full QWERTY on the front. It’s sporting a unique Flash-based user interface, but sadly does so with a 2.4" QVGA touchscreen display. Beyond that, it includes the usual goods like WiFi, HSDPA/HSUPA, aGPS, and dual cameras. It’s expected to hit Europe around September of 2009. For even more specs, check out PDAdb.net.
Coming weeks after Orange announced they would be pushing LG’s pricey watchphone, Hyundai have produced a watchphone not priced at £1000. Read the rest of the post from PMP Today after the break.
It’s been some months since we first looked at the T-Mobile G1 (HTC Dream). We were lucky enough to be able to attend the G1 launch event and to get some hands-on time with the first Android phone.
I finally managed to get hold of a retail G1 handset which, following the unboxing video below, Steve will be reviewing for us. Steve and I are fairly firm Windows Mobile fans so we’ll be making comparisons between Android and WM.
The T-Mobile G1
I’ve only used the G1 for a short period but I have to say that I am fairly impressed. The clarity of the screen is good and the touchscreen is really sensitive and responsive which means that you can navigate and use the handset without needing a stylus. The menus are fairly logical and easy to find your way around. The web browser is also rather good and does a decent job of rendering webpages, almost as well as a desktop computer albeit on a smaller scale.
Have a look at our video and pop back soon to see the full review.
