It would appear that last weeks hot topic in the Windows Mobile world was HTC Shift. The chaps over at eXpansys just dropped me a line to say that they are now accepting pre-orders for the HTC Shift and that they are expecting the first batch to ship sometime in October.

    Sprint announce upgraded HTC Touch

    US mobile carrier Sprint have just announced their version of the HTC Touch; The “Sprint Touch”.

    Sprint Touch

    Sprint Touch

    So what’s different about the Sprint version? First of all this is a CDMA version of the model Alasdair reviewed recently. You’ll also get Sprint TV, and Music Store. The music player is Sprint’s Groove Mobile store.

    The major advantages the Sprint Touch has over the GSM version is that the processor speed has been doubled: 400 Mhz as opposed to 200 Mhz. The modem is fast EVDO (software upgradeable to EVDO Rev A), not slower EDGE. It’s also been said that when the Rev A upgrade comes, it will activate the built-in GPS, and you’ll be able to use Telenav for GPS navigation.

    Sprint have yet to confirm the price for this gadget, but said it’s probably coming in November. These changes will come as a welcome upgrade as many feel that the HTC Touch is somewhat under powered. Where we’ll see a similar upgraded version here in Europe is unknown but I feel it’s pretty unlikely.

    First look at the HTC Shift

    Well the news seems to be all over the web today that the lucky fella, Hugo Ortega, from Uber Tablet, has managed to get his hands on the new HTC Shift.

    HTC Shift

    HTC Shift

    The HTC Shift heralds HTC’s entry in to the UMPC market. But HTC aren’t content to bring out a basic device, the HTC Shift sports some unique features, such as a dual operating system. It runs Windows Mobile 6 AND Windows Vista. Windows Mobile 6 offers over 5 days battery life whereas using Vista drains the battery in around 3 hours. This goes to prove how power hungry Vista is!.

    A Tilt-controlled touchscreen (similar to the Advantage) and a SIM card socket offering HSDPA connectivity are also part of the generous spec.

    Hugo seems suitably impressed with his:

    In summary I would have to say that this is one of the BEST Ultra Mobile PC I have ever had the pleasure of spending time with. If I were a manufacturer of a UMPC, or with a UMPC about to hit the market, then I would be shaking in my boots given what The HTC Shift is capable of. “I put my order down right away!”

    HTC Shift specification:

  • Windows Vista Business (3 hrs battery)
  • Intel Santa Rosa A110 Processor
  • 1GB DDR2 RAM
  • 40GB HDD
  • HSDPA (Data only) ready
  • Web Cam
  • Biometrics security
  • Windows Pocket PC (over 5 days battery life when used exclusively)
  • Qualcomm 400MHz Processor
  • 64MB RAM

    HTC Kasier rumour roundup

    This week saw a large number of new rumours about the long awaited HTC Kaiser.

    The first relates to a potential name change for the HTC Kaiser/P4550 and suggests that the device will be released under a different name – the HTC TyTN II. HTC wont confirm or deny this name change but it has been voiced elsewhere that the name TyTN II refers to a different device altogether.

    Later we heard that the HTC Kaiser is due for launch throughout Europe on the 8th September. This would be good news but for the fact that the 8th September is a Saturday so therefore this seems like an unlikely date.

    The final piece of news relates to the US launch of the HTC Kaiser. We already ‘know’ that the device is coming to AT&T as the ‘AT&T Tilt’ but further information from CrunchGear states that they have an ‘inside source’ and that “the AT&T Tilt (aka 8925 aka Kaiser) hits stores September 3rd for $499 with 2-year plan.”

    If the above is true then $499 (just about £250) seems like a reasonable price to pay for a device as well featured and powerful as the HTC Kaiser. Mind you – I’m not sure that a two year contract will be everyone’s cup of tea!

    EDIT: You can see our TyTN II review HERE.

    Skype now available for Nokia N800

    Back in July when we posted our review of the Nokia N800 internet tablet there were only a few IM client options available for the device. However, a version of Skype has now been released specifically for the Nokia N800.

    Skype for N800

    Skype for N800

    The Skype client really does make the N800 into a much better connected device and a more tempting prospect. The software for the N800 allows you to transfer files, as well as have text and voice conversations with your contacts. I’m not sure if it will support video calls though.

    You can download the N800 version of Skype from the Skype Website.

    Exclusive HTC devices coming to Orange?

    I do not normally post rumours but I heard this nugget from a couple of unconnected sources so I thought I would share it!

    The ‘news’ goes a something like this: Orange are allegedly working with HTC to release some new and exclusive devices that will only appear on the Orange network. These mystery devices are said to have unique form factor and never seen before specification.

    So what sort of devices could we expect? Could it/they be based upon the HTC Kaiser or maybe more like the HTC Shift devices? Who knows, it could be something totally differnt!?

    As I said, this is all unconfirmed speculation. I’ll be asking Orange to comment but doubt that they will confirm or deny the rumour. However if you know anything else then please do let us know!

    HTC P4550 / Kaiser rebrands as TyTN II?

    HTC are to call their long-awaited Kaiser device the ‘HTC TyTN II’. At least if you like to believe net rumours! It does seem likely though, and the source is apparently from an HTC certification request. It was to have been released as the ‘HTC P4550’, but since the media and punters alike were refering to it as the successor to the TyTn, it does seem to be a understandable change.

    Since the TyTN was so successful for HTC, I’m sure they are also hoping for increased sales for their new mass market device.

    The latest information on releases, is that the TyTN II will almost certainly be on Vodafone, and will probably be on Orange, T-Mobile and o2. It’s unclear at present as to whether it will be an SPV branded device on the Orange network.

    HTC Kaiser (P4550 / HTC TyTN II) Latest Specification:

  • Windows Mobile 6 Professional
  • 2.8″ QVGA LCD Touchscreen
  • 256 MB ROM – 128MB RAM
  • Qualcomm 400MHz CPU
  • GSM850, GSM900, GSM1800, GSM1900, UMTS800, UMTS850, UMTS1900, UMTS2100
  • CSD, GPRS, EDGE, UMTS, HSDPA, HSUPA
  • 802.11b/g WiFi
  • Built-in spring-loaded QWERTY-type keyboard
  • microSD memory card slot
  • Bluetooth 2
  • 3.0 megapixel auto-focus camera
  • AGPS
  • USB 2.0
  • 58 x 110 x 18mm
  • 160 grams
  • TouchFlo included!
  • The last bullet is interesting. Contary to earlier reports, the TyTN II will support TouchFlo, but the rumour is that this will actually be a cut down version. The reason for this is down to the standard touch screen. The HTC Touch had a highly sensitive and specially strengthened screen to enable the advanced features. Currently, the TyTN II does not.

    EDIT: You can order the TyTN II now and get £10 off the purchase price. Details HERE.
