My great friends over at Mobility Today have commissioned an iPhone software developer to create an application for them and it is now live and available for download in the App Store. The application is fantastic as it allows you to stream any of the Mobility Today podcasts over the air to your iPhone or iPod Touch. Hats off to Mobility Today for being the first site to create their own application for podcasts. You can find it in the Entertainment section of the App Store.
Over at Steve Trotto dot com you can get a new podcast featuring Alli Flowers from Mobility Today (amongst others) and J Doss, a web designer. Looking forward to hearing this. The team here is a unique voice of all things mobile.
It has become apparent that the Diamond is the hottest device out there. In a survey carried out by a German website Handy.de the Diamond took the lead away from the iPhone and the Nokia N96 by a noticeable amount.

Coolsmartphone is reporting that the HTC Touch Pro is coming in August to Vodafone’s business shop. There isn’t too much information to be gleaned from the site however Coolsmartphone has an article in relation to the Data bundles Vodafone are offering.
Here is a game that might turn some heads. The iPhone will be blessed with a version of one of the bigger games in the near future. Kotaku have some nice images of a rather impressive environment and an interesting control method:
"Apparently the game will use gesture-based touching to activate force powers, such as drawing a lightning bolt to activate force lightning."
This takes me back. Not the game but the hero, Larry Laffer. I could resist taking a stab at playing this new game for the Windows Mobile. Whilst the iPhone is receiving Super Monkey Ball and Crash Bandicoot we Windows users get to sit back and harass, leer at and use cheesy lines on women. Its all done in the best/worst possible taste with the emphesis on sleaze. Larry is an icon of MS Dos and Windows 3.1. It seems only fitting that our misogynistic come to Windows Mobile and in a pretty good looking game too.

Pocketnow have pointed us in the direction of the Business Applications Showcase over at the Windows Mobile Applications Store. It’s really sounds like a great resource but I don’t think I’ll be going there for a long time until it becomes a little more user friendly. Also this will give time for content to be updated. Its would also be swell if the Mobile App store worked on my mobile device.
PMP Today has a picture of the Meizu M8. It’s an interesting looking phone and some might even call it iPhone-esq
The Meizu M8 has had another appearance at the Meizu forum. This new photo submitted by Meizu CE Jack Wong looks like the other leaked photos we’ve seen in the past. Hardware-wise, it doesn’t look much different than this M8 miniOne displayed on Alibaba. The biggest news on this photo leak is the browser. We have no idea what browser it is but it’s pretty neat.

Despite a rather luke warm critical reception the HTC Diamond has managed to shift a rather respectable amount of units around the world. In the UK it is only available on two networks thus far and the US GSM version slated for the Christmas Holiday this number can only go up. The appeal of the Diamond cannot be questioned. It is a great rival to the iPhone even if it hit the ground limping.

Realwire have a fun article about the usage of people personal technology:
The exclusive survey, conducted by igizmomag.co.uk, into the gadget habits of British people has found that Brits often exhibit possessive, rude or downright peculiar behaviour when it comes to using their mobile phones and favourite gadgets, including over a third of people who admit to using their phone whilst on the lav!
