The guys over at Pocketnow have just done a comparison test with the HTC Touch HD and SE Xperia X1 to see how each of them handles video playback using CorePlayer. The results are pretty close, but the Touch HD just edges it which was quite surprising. Added to the slightly better video quality you also have to consider the extra 0.8 inch screen size which also adds to the viewing experience. Check out Pocketnow for the full details.
We thought this was coming last week but it has finally arrived, you can now download the Google Mobile App with voice search from the app store right here. It looks great but does state that it is most suited to the North American accent and my results so far have been anything but accurate. There is a video after the break showing how it all works.
The Vodafone Blackberry Storm is now on sale but we have yet to see a great unboxing video until now. Check out this video after the break showing Blackberry’s answer to the iPhone given the full unboxing treatment. We love the way they have obviously spent a lot of time working on the script and could learn a lot after the bad comments we received for our Touch HD unboxing.

I know a grand total of one person who is excited about this phone. I’m sure there are others and I guess I wouldn’t sniff at it if it was stuck under my nose. Spain has listed the 5800 at a whopping £366. Read on for the article.
Michael Manna over at the T4 Show has posted a video look at the Blackberry Bold, the video shows a brief look around the Blackberry OS and it’s all set to a brilliant soundtrack from Guns N’ Roses and get this, their new CD should be out next week after years of promises.

Trace is a casual platformer where you draw your own path through levels by using the touch screen to draw platforms to navigate past obstacles to reach the goal at the end of each level. Sounds simple and on first glance that is what this game is all about simple game play and simple graphics but this game is fantastic and free too. We have all seen great looking games with fantastic visual but not enough time spent on the actual game, will this one is the opposite.
If your interested in the Blackberry Pearl 8220 flip then you should check out Mickey Papillon’s review from The Cellphone Junkie. The Pearl Flip comes with the latest 4.6 version of the Blackberry OS. The new version is really fast to use and redesigned icons make more sense than 4.5 and earlier software. Along with the standard applications comes Word To Go, Sheet To Go and Slideshow To Go from Documents To Go. These applications allow you to open and view your Word, Excel and Powerpoint files. For the full review and lots of pictures check out Mickey’s blog.
