Over at The Gadgeteer is a good review of a nice Bluetooth combo I might consider investing in myself, BlueAnt Z9 Headset and Supertooth Handsfree Speakerphone.
Its a good looking set. Highly portable, bordering on losable. I don’t think I have yet to read a negative review of either unit. In the run up to the iPhone 3G, this my well be a nice unit to consider as an alternative to the iPhone Bluetooth headset.
The German Eee PC News has some information on a proposed 904 and 905 model of the little laptop. Or at least the head line would suggest so. This would probably mean a 903 is somewhere in the making. Mobile Computer believe the suffix will be 904 HD and that release is imminent.
This seems to be a gadget that’s biggest curse is the monthly hardware update. The potential is huge, and the price is rapidly rising as another bell or whistle is thrown in to make it just that little bit more attractive than the current model. Check Chris’ review of the 701 XP.

HTC today released another Rom update for the HTC Diamond 1.37.401.3 . The Rom is available to download from the HTC Club website where registration and a valid HTC device serial number is required. The Rom is supposed to update the Connection Wizard, Enlarge Start Menu, TouchFlo 3D, Volume Control, XT9, Youtube and a few other minor tweaks. We will test it out as soon as it is downloaded and installed and see what we think.
Well it seems HTC have pulled the Rom already as it has now vanished as fast as it appeared, but you can download it from rapidshare here
Thanks to Tracy and Matts blog for the heads up

We have all read a lot of hype surrounding the HTC Touch Diamond and recently a lot of negative comments on how it actually performs, well we have had some hands on experience over the last week and its definitely a phone that will split opinions right down the middle. Read on for our full review and find out our opinion on this VGA Windows Mobile Professional device.
Youtube on a Windows Mobile is always been something of an art to get working. Hopefully no more if you follow this link. XDA developers has done it again with Youtubeplay.
I’ll be testing this over the next few days and will let you know if its worth going after.
Thanks to Pocketnow for the heads up.
Sieraa Modro from GottaBeMobile has got a great video review of the new iPaq 900 series business communicator. The iPAQ 900 series was scheduled to launch today and this video is well worth watching, check it out after the break.
Ok it is a slow news day we get it, but I saw this and it cheered me up no end. iCarta have released the ultimate iPod and iPhone dock accessory for the bathroom. This great bit of kit will charge your iPhone or iPod, play your favourite tunes and always be in reach when you need it most.
Tracy and Matt have the scoop on the extended battery for the Diamond being sold through Expansys. Its £41, 1350 mAH and comes with a new back cover. No mention if it turns the Diamond into a fatty.
