According to PC Magazine’s Lance Ulanoff Android’s true target isn’t the 19 percent of phones running OS’s, like BlackBerry, Windows Mobile, and Mac OS. It’s the other 81 percent of phones, which aren’t smartphones and run operating systems you’ve never heard of like Nucleus and P2K. This large part of the market we call feature phones has become more and more powerful, hardware-wise, over the past few years.
Football fans will be excited to hear that the best of this year’s UEFA Champions League is now available on GO!VIEW – the video on-demand service for the PSP. Following the League’s kick off this week, PSP owners can transfer highlights from Sky Sports matches to watch on the go. Throughout the new football season, GO!VIEW customers will be able to watch highlights from all 125 UEFA Champions League matches. In addition, last year’s final will also be available so that supporters can re-live the highs and lows of the Manchester United versus Chelsea match.
Alli over at Mobility Today had just taken a good look at the Windows Mobile software Core Player. She has posted her impressions of the software especially compared with the rather impressive Kinoma Play software we reviewed a few week back. If you don’t know Core Player is the commercial software that spawned from the free open source software TCPMP.
Some people have all the luck, Arne over at the Unwired managed to get a Touch HD to take look at over the weekend and has posted a few pictures for our viewing pleasure. He does point out that this was an early marketing sample, hopefully we will see a video of it in action soon too.
Leigh over at Coolsmartphone has just posted a great video showing a tour around the HTC S740 handset including the two keyboards and the HTC Sliding Panels interface. He also has a look at the screen switching speed and the overall design of the device. If you are in the market for a device with a slide out keyboard and no touch screen this might be of interest. You can check out the 10 minute video after the break.
Just spotted this new video showing the HTC Dream in action and I have to say it looks really good. Everything seems very snappy and smooth and ready for release. Should be interesting when this becomes available to see how well it compares with Windows Mobile, iPhone and other smartphone operating systems. Video after the break.
Steve over at the Mobile Tech Moment has just posted episode 6 of this great podcast. This episode is all about the HTC Diamond as it has just been released over in the US. His two guests Mike Herald and Bill Stebbins have both just picked the Diamond as their new device so should be interesting to hear their thoughts. The title of this weeks show is Diamonds are a geek’s best friend, you can get all the details here.
Tracy and Matt have hit upon some images of the HTC Dream out in the field. Looks a good size, however there doesn’t seem to be any hints at the odd incision on the back of the device we featured on a previous post.
Windows 6.1 and the variants of the HTC Kaiser is largely regarded as a bit of a headache. Conflicts, warnings and pop-up annoyances abound. This simple app can help you personalise the inner most workings of the Kaiser and you can enjoy a smoother ride. Take care when using as there are a number of selections that can disable features.
The much anticipated Palm Treo Pro has finally landed on Vodafones site but only in the business section.

It offers 3G internet speeds as well as Wi-fi and an integrated GPS receiver. Pricing and details after the break.
