We haven’t heard much about this one since it was announced alongside the HTC Touch HD and HTC Touch 3G and put mostly in the shadows but the guys over a pda.pl have managed to get hold of one for review. It is in Polish but there is a google translation which is pretty bad but also three videos which we have after the break. It seems that this device is definitely in the budget range as it doesn’t even come with a headset and has TouchFlo 2D as it has no 3D graphics acceleration. Videos after the break.

Best wishes from all at Mobile Tech Addicts.
For what it’s worth, the 2-megapixel camera of the iPhone does a pretty good job especially in adequate lighting, but what if you’re shooting at night or indoors with poor ambient light?

If you use LogMeIn on your home or office PC or Mac this application is an absolute must, I have been using LogMeIn for many years and it has saved me on numerous occasions when I have forgotten files either at the office or at home. LogMeIn is a suite of software services that provide remote access to computers over the Internet and there is a free version that I have always used and it works perfectly as long as the PC or Mac you are trying to access is online. Just recently LogMeIn announced that they were working on an application for the iPhone and whilst I missed out on the beta it is now available in the App Store, read on for the review.
HP has launched an application that allows iPhone users to print their photos and pictures wirelessly. iPrint Photo is available to download as an application through Apple’s App Store and lets users print a photo simply by touching it on their screen. Once the image is pressed an instruction to print is sent over wireless to an inkjet printer. “Wireless printing is a fun extension of the iPhone/iPod touch’s easy photo capture and viewing experience,” said HP. “Images stored on your iPhone or iPod touch can print on most HP networked inkjet printers connected to a local Wi-Fi network. Pictures will print out at a standard photo size. “HP iPrint photo uses Apple’s Bonjour tools to search for and identify printers, and supports Wi-Fi networks including Apple Airport, Linksys, D-Link and Netgear.
Available free from the iTunes App Store.

In last nights episode of The Gadget Show in the UK, Channel 5’s presenter Jon Bentley was testing four smartphones to see which one would come out on top. The phones in questions were the Blackberry Storm, T-Mobile G1, HTC Touch HD and the iPhone 3G. They carried out three tests, none of which were very scientific and dropped the phone that came off worst in each test. The first test was the camera and email attachments and the T-Mobile G1 came off worst and was dropped. The 2nd test was how easy the phones were to use and this time we saw the Blackberry Storm say goodbye with poor keyboard performance taking around 40 seconds more to create and send an email than the Touch HD, in second place the iPhone but there was not much in it. The final round saw the iPhone 3G and the Touch HD go head to head on battery life, this is where it all becomes a little silly as they started calling each other then taking pictures and playing games, all requiring different processing power etc so not really a very scientific test however this did see the Touch HD come out on top lasting 30 minutes longer than the iPhone 3G. You can see the full video here.
