HP announce the iPaq Glisten

Looking for a Smartphone with a forward facing QWERTY keyboard and a touchscreen? Until now that was a pretty tall order, I can think of only a couple of other handsets that fit the bill, the JAQ3 Springs to mind, but they are all pretty long in the tooth now. So HP have stepped up to the plate with their new iPAQ Glisten which offers a beautiful 2.5″ AMOLED 320×240 Touchscreen display and full QWERTY keyboard. Also sporting the latest Windows Mobile 6.5 OS sounds like a really cool device, right?

HP-iPaq-Glisten-Smartphone_1

So what’s the catch? Well currently it’s only available in the USA and HP have no plans to bring it to the UK at the moment. Real shame I think as it looks like a lovely handset that certainly would fill a big void in the market.

iPhone 3GS Supreme arrives

iphone-3gs-supreme With the iPhone 3G S no longer exclusive to certain carriers and the iPhone 3G plummeting to an all-time low sub-$100 price, what once was considered as the phone for the rich and famous is now as common as the next touchscreen mobile phone.

However, if you still have a love affair with the iPhone and want to truly set yourself apart from the rest of the iPhone-toting crowd, then we’ve got the answer for you – the iPhone 3G S Supreme. This iPhone boasts of 271 grams of 22ct solid gold and the front bezel is adorned with 136 flawless diamonds which amounts to a total of 68 cts. The Apple logo on the back is also in solid gold and further accentuated with the use of 53 flawless diamonds (1ct). The home button, meanwhile, is highlighted with a single cut and very rare 7.1 cts diamond. This very opulent iPhone designed by Stuart Hughes also comes with an extra special packaging. It ships in a 7kg chest made out of a single block of Granite in Kashmir Gold and its inside is lined with Nubuck top grain leather. Interested? The iPhone 3G S Supreme costs $3.2 million which basically means if you’re not earning as much as Manny Pacquiao or Tiger Woods, this iPhone is way out of your league.

Android on the Treo 650

screen

Here’s a bit of fin from Youtube, a Palm Treo 650 running Android. Google has always claimed that Android can run on pretty much anything and here’s proof of that. My fondness for this device is extreme and I would love to be able to breath new life into it. Provided drivers can be made available for it.

Tesco Mobile Network customers to get the iPhone

iphone with Tesco Mobile - Coming Soon So yesterday O2 and Tesco announced that the iPhone would be coming to Tesco’s which is a large Supermarket. Well I am not a phone snob but the thought of seeing the best smartphone around appearing alongside your beans and chicken breasts is a little off putting for me and some what devaluing. Having said that, maybe Tesco’s will now pull their finger out and get an App sorted for home grocery shopping, now that would be a handy App.

I understand the reason behind it but if it hits Aldi ot Netto anytime soon I may have to consider ditching mine.

Press Release after the break.

HTC’s Capacitive Stylus Appears

Yesterday we told you about the extended battery, car kit and the capacitive stylus for the HTC HD2. Well today the first images of the stylus surface on the web.

htc-capacitive-stylus

 

Russian site YouHTC seem to have been the first to get their hands on photos but other sites also have the photos now. We’ll post more photos as we get them.

According to WMPoweruser the stylus will cost £17.25. Apparently the end of the stylus is transparent so you can see though it but with a red dot to indicate where it is being pressed. It’s also curved at the bottom.
