There is an interesting article over at Smart Device Central pondering the future of Palm. Love it, hate it, uninvolved by it, Palm has been a front runner in many fields but can it keep up with the big dogs like Apple and HTC. Recent phones have hardly pushed the boundaries but are reliable and robust. Their interesting financial structure answers many questions as to why they are still on the playing field these day. Have a look and see what you think.
Been playing around with a great online service for creating ringtones and it works well with the iPhone M4R format too as well as other platforms that support mp3 and AMR formats. Audiko is a Ringtone Maker that does not require registration, and you won’t need to download any software/plugin to your computer. Just upload your favorite song, or supply Audiko with a URL that ends with MP3 format or even a Youtube video. Then choose the part you want to cut from the song, the time you want it to play, and that’s it, totally free. Details after the break
Opera brings you the best Internet experience on any device, from computers and cell phones to portable media players and game consoles. Opera Mobile, first launched in 2000, and with over 100 million installations since 2004, was the first to bring the full Web to the small mobile screen. Opera Mobile for feature phones and smartphones has pioneered and set the standard in mobile browsing, supporting the latest technologies and receiving industry acclaim. Today, Opera continues to provide the best mobile Web experience with the first beta of Opera Mobile 9.5. Full details after the break.
Sony and Sky have teamed up to deliver a video-on-demand service for the PlayStation Portable. Go!View on PSP has just gone live in the UK and Ireland, and offers users a range of content including TV shows, movies and sport for playback on their PSP.
Boy Genius has posted a long and rather thorough look at the iPhone and the Blackberry Bold. Which one is better? One cannot say, a consumer phone vs. a business phone. They both perform differently and I guess it really is a pointless exercise but still worth a look if you have the hots for both phones.
Just received delivery of the HTC Advantage X7510 for review from (www.superetrader.co.uk) and thought I would post some first impressions before I start doing the review. Well it is big but we already knew that but I have to say it looks great. From the packaging right through to the device it looks solid and well made. I showed it to my wife and she instantly loved the form factor and design as a UMPC like device not a phone and thought she could use it easily. This is interesting, it is on charge right now before I put it through it’s paces over the next few days. Any questions leave a comment and I will try to cover them in the review.
Michael over at the the T4 Show has just posted another of his great video overviews of iPhone apps. This time he is taking a look at the two main social networking apps namely Facebook and Myspace. Both apps are available free from the iTunes store. You can see the video after the break.
A Vodafone customer from Norwich has pitched his claim for the largest ever single-person phone bill after getting a demand from Vodafone for £588,198, and fifteen pence. James Abdale, who posted the details on the Vodafone forum, was initially quite jovial about what was so obviously a clerical error, though after two hours trying to get Vodafone to fix the problem his patience started to wear thin.
Hiptop3.com have an interesting article regarding T-Mobile’s personalisation plans for the Gekko’s casing. It’s a nice idea with a lot of potential. It would be nice for other phones to appear with this form of customisation. The dozens of black N95’s I see daily for example.
SlideIT is a speedy and intuitive way to write text on touch screen enabled devices. Instead of the current method of tapping each letter on the screen, the user points to the first letter of a word and slides the stylus to the subsequent letters. Video demo after the break, all looks a bit messy to us and 40$ to buy the full version although there is a trial.
