Hermes headphone adapter finally available

After what seems like an eternity, Expansys finally have a headphone adapter available for the HTC Hermes.

The adapter will work on the HTC TyTN, Orange M3100, Vodafone v1605 and all other Hermes variants as well as some other HTC devices coming soon.

Check out the product page at Expansys. At £9.95 I suppose it’s not too bad but it is an ugly looking thing! It would have been better to have a plug and socket with a cable between IMHO.

Stop your Smartphone LED flashing

Many of us find the flashing status LEDs on our Smartphones and PocketPCs really annoying. Lots of people place their phones next to them while they are sleeping and LEDs seem to have increased in brightness recently.

Realising that this is a problem AKsoft have released a small utility to stop the status lights from flashing. Most Smartphone and PocketPC phone models are supported but some models aren’t fully supported (as the LED’s are controlled by hardware) you can still change the LED “blinking” frequency with this software.

If you want to give it a try then head on over to AKsoft’s website and check out the demo. It’s free for 3 days then you have to pay $1 to continue using it. Sounds resonable!

Note that their site has been down for a little while so you might have to try again later!
