Pocketnow have posted a YouTube video showing the latest build of Opera Mobile 9.5 and it does indeed support Flash. The video shows the YouTube site and when clicking a video it plays in the browser window and looks great. It has few other new features like a zoom bar. We have the video after the break along with links if you want to give the new version a test.
HTC seem to be giving the French sites a head start on the new range of Touch devices, first the Touch HD got its first hands on video and now the Touch 3G also. We have the video after the break, there is also a review of the device in French if you fancy taking a look.
Our friends over at windowsmobileitaly have been tipped off that the Touch HD will launch in Italy in December 2008 as an exclusive for Italian mobile operator TIM. The Price (still TBC officially) is likely to be 849 euros, which is the same as the Touch Pro. We have been told that it should hit the UK in November but we shall see and hopefully we will get some official confirmation soon.
Engadget have taken the time to record their unboxing experience with a series of interesting pictures. The device is complex for a media player and therefore it is hard to capture a lot of the features.

Check out these great drink coasters, based on the iPhone menu icons. Created by the guys over at Brazil’s Meninos design these icon coasters are a great gift for any iPhone addict. All your favorite applications are there, from Maps to Calculator, iPod and Settings. Each coaster measures 85mm square and is made from sturdy MDF plywood, then wrapped with a premium vinyl decal and durable varnish to protect the design. A thin rubber layer on the bottom keeps the coasters from slipping around. Sets of 16 coasters retail for $60 USD over at the Meninos online shop. Now just need to convince the wife these are cool.
