The excellent software Documents To Go is definitely coming to the iPhone. This is good news as the lack of quality applications available so far has been disappointing. If you don’t know this software lets you view, edit and create Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint files, view Adobe® PDF files as well as zip/unzip files on your device. Well this is how it works on a Windows Mobile device, all we know so far is that it is coming and will support these file types but it may just be a viewer, time will tell.

Just had a chat with Mike from Superetrader and he tells me they will have the HTC Touch HD in stock from the 8th November. He has also promised to get us a review device as soon as possible as this is one device that we really need to take a look at. You can register online for availability updates or pre-order the device to be the first to get one when they come in. Mike has promised to keep us up to date on availability information for the Touch HD and the other newly announced devices.
Paul over at Modaco managed to get some hands on time with the Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 yesterday and has kindly shared a video showing us around the device from the outside and the software side. It really looks like a nice piece of hardware but I do have concerns over the speed especially switching from portrait to landscape which we have seen all too often on these type of phones. Paul does mention that this is a pre-production rom so maybe it will improve before the launch on September 30th. Video after the break
HTC today announced the launch of a "Snow White" Touch Diamond which will be available later this autumn. Born from the same unique heritage of innovation and a deep desire to blend design with simplicity, the white HTC Touch Diamond is delivering unmistakable style and meticulous craftsmanship. The snow white HTC Touch Diamond will sports the same blending contrasting design elements of metal and unique geometric facets the black Touch Diamond featured already.

In case you missed the Sony Ericsson webcast event yesterday showing off the Xperia X1, the guys over at inxperia managed to grab the video and we have it after the break for you to watch. The good news is they missed the first part which to be honest was all the marketing stuff you don’t want to see anyway and it is straight into the hands on section so it is worth a watch if this one is of interest to you.
Well three new HTC devices in one day, it’s too much to take in, this one is the weakest of the three. The Viva will have a 2 megapixel camera, Bluetooth 2.0, microSD card slot, 1100 mAh battery, QVGA screen and a 200Mhz TI OMAP 850 CPU, 128 meg Ram and 256 Meg Rom, WiFi b and g, Windows Mobile 6.1 and GPRS / EDGE. This will also have the HTC TouchFlo 3D enhancements but apart from that its pretty average compared to the other two devices, the Touch HD and Touch 3G. Full specs after the break
In another busy day of Windows Mobile handset announcement HTC have announced another handset this time the HTC Touch 3G. This is the updated Touch device and is more like the upgrade we were expecting after the disappointing looking Opal we saw the other week. Check after the break for the full specs and pictures.

As you already know Sony Ericsson had a webcast session today, showing off the soon to be released Xperia X1. We were watching the event and share below some of the details of the webcast. It was a little disappointing as a lot of the time was spent talking about the device marketing. More details after the break
