We have been working hard behind the scenes and have some great news to share. Starting very soon we will be getting our hands on some devices to produce our own reviews. We have already got a Palm Centro which we are writing a review and it will be up very shortly but soon we will also start to receive more and more devices and accessories to review. This is a great result for the site and we can guarantee one thing, all our reviews will be our honest opinion.
On top of this we have just about completed the look of the site and we have added an iPhone web icon so if you bookmark us with your iPhone it now has a much better look and we have a tab / bookmark icon too.
The Windows Mobile Team Blog have posted an interesting article explaining how to customise the sliding panel seen on all Windows Mobile Standard (Smartphone) phones. Jorge Peraza is a Developer on the Windows Mobile team that was responsible for the new “Sliding Panel” home screen in Windows Mobile 6.1.
Get iPhone-style internet browsing on your Pocket PC. TouchBrowser lets you control everything using only your fingers. You can type using the large keyboard, glide through web content and scroll through pages with a flick, with full page view.
Tired of Pocket Internet Explorer? Forget about the stylus, the tiny scrollbars and the keyhole view of the internet. TouchBrowser gives you the smooth webbrowsing experience of the iPhone, right on your Pocket PC. It lets you scroll pages with animation and iPhone inertia effects for easy reading.
Just watched this which I caught over at all about symbian, its an S60 Touch UI demo video with many examples of the UI in action. Good stuff, although dragging down the web browser screen to make the content move up seems counter-intuitive, along with using a stylus, Windows Mobile users want to move away from that so Symbian needs to think more about that one.
One thing that springs to mind here is that all the major players in the smart phone market have really upped their game since the launch of the iPhone. Its great to see the innovations at all the different platforms and love or hate the iPhone you have to say its done all consumers a lot of good. Video after the break.

It’s easy to take for granted the 3G iPhone’s launch at this point. After all, Steve said it was "coming later this year," as did a number of prominent mobile executives. And then there’s been the barrage of carrier announcements, many in international markets that use UMTS and have zero support for the iPhone as we know it today. But the fact of the matter is we’ve had very little to go on by way of material evidence — until now.
We are playing around with the site layout today so you my see some strange results when you visit, don’t worry all will be back better than normal soon…….we hope
For Apple watchers, next week will — if rumors are correct — bring a host of reasons to rejoice.
The sold-out Worldwide Developer Conference, or WWDC, happening June 9-13 in San Francisco, is widely expected to be the venue at which company CEO Steve Jobs unveils a second-generation iPhone, a panoply of new applications for the iPhone and iPod Touch, a new MacBook Pro and the next upgrade to OS X, codenamed "Snow Leopard."
Developers wishing to release software applications for the iPhone and iPod touch for free are being encouraged by Apple to charge a fee instead, according to AppleInsider.
People familiar with the iPhone Developer Program initiated in March note that companies and individuals approved for the program are being assigned a liaison, or "development partner," who serves as a resource, offering advice and gathering feedback on plans for applications that will eventually be submitted to upcoming App Store for approval.
The guys over at nokiaaddict.com have managed to get some hands on time with the latest Nokia Bluetooth Headset the Nokia BH-703. Sounds like a good solid great looking headset except the questionable ear clip which doesn’t appear to be stable enough to keep it securely on your ear.
