Microsoft spin-off Zumobi announced that its widget platform is now available for BlackBerrys. Zumobi is ad-supported and promises to enhance smartphone users experience “by providing easy access to small ‘bites’ of customized Web content” using widgets or what it calls “tiles.” Zumobi says it already has a “robust library” of tile topics for Windows Mobile users, and now BlackBerry users can get in on the fun too.
Brits are more mobile-obsessed than their US counterparts, a new survey has revealed. According to the latest edition of Carphone Warehouse’s Mobile Life Report, 94 per cent of British youngsters own mobile phones, compared to just 80 per cent of those in the US.
Here is a nice unboxing of the HP Ipaq 910. Looks to be a rather stonking phone with everything going for it, especially the 1940 mAh. Interesting to see it is a little bigger than the Treo 800w. There doesn’t seem to be too much by way of software that set this apart from the others on the market but it’s the processor that’s going to blow the competition out of the water.
Just had a tip off from from online supplier www.superetrader.co.uk that they will have stock of the Samsung Omnia i900 for delivery from the 18th August. You can register your interest now and they will let you know as soon as it is available for delivery. They will also be offering a bundle with Route 66 sat nav software as part of the package. But even better we are first on the list to get a review unit. Also confirmed, the 16 Gig version will not be coming to the UK and will be a US only release. Full details of the Samsung i900 Omnia after the break.
If you are a HTC TyTn II user then you are probably well aware of the problems with 3D hardware acceleration or lack of it. Well the guys over at HTCClassAction.org have made a bit of a breakthrough OpenGL ES and D3D drivers (non-fullscreen) for the TyTn II line of devices. A video demo and links to download the cab file after the break.
Great news for TyTN II owners as finally the Direct3D video driver that the device so desperatly is now available!
Most HTC TyTN II owners are probably aware of the campaign to get a proper set of video drivers for the device and have no doubt heard of the HTCClassAction site that has been campaingning for them.
If you want to download the new driver or to find out more then head over to the HTCClassAction site where you’ll find a whole load of information about it.
Haven’t installed the drivers myself yet but will do so later and come back with an update.
