Could this be the LG Windows Phone 7

LG WP7

We have already seen an early version of a Windows Phone 7 device from LG but could this new leaked image be the updated version or even the final product?

It certainly looks pretty nice sporting a new design of the three ‘oh so important’ hardware keys below the screen .

The image was ‘allegedly’ posted onto Flickr by a French Microsoft employee. Not sure if he still works there!

With Microsoft gearing up for there next ‘7’ event at the end of the month could this LG device be the one they will be using?

Either way it looks sweet.

HTC announces the HTC Wildfire

HTC Wildfire_3Vs_Format_BLACK20100512

Last week I was lucky enough to be invited to a top secret location for an introduction to the HTC Wildfire. After using this new device I can honestly say it’s a beauty. Kind of a mini HTC desire available in four colours. The Wildfire is designed to be a low cost Android device aimed at the younger generation of today. Will it be a hit? It certainly should be. No word yet on price and I think this will be the deciding factor.

I also managed to shoot some video of the HTC Wildfire and we will bring you that later on today.

Check out the official press release below.

Twittelator for iPad mini review

TwittelatorPro-logo-300x300

It is still early days for the Apple iPad but there are already some nice Twitter applications available and the one I have been using the most is Twittelator. Although I have been using TweetDeck on both my PC and iPod Touch up until recently I decided that it was time for a change when my iPad arrived. After speaking with one or two people that had already used Twittelator my mind was made up and I spent my $4.99 and downloaded.

Paying for a Twitter application is not something I have done before, but now I have the iPad I have become accustomed to forking out a little more money for decent apps. Of course the iPhone/iPod apps still work on the iPad in X2 mode but for the best quality you really need an iPad specific one.

Is Twittelator worth $4.99 and will I be sticking with this application? Read on to find out.

This is the second Bluetooth car kit that Orange have kindly sent me to play with and review. Although this particular one is made by RIM and sold as a BlackBerry car kit you do not have to have a BlackBerry to use it. It will work with all Bluetooth enabled phones.

I recently also reviewed the Parrot MiniKit Slim so lets see how this BlackBerry one compares.

Read on to see the verdict.

Parrot MiniKit Slim Bluetooth Visor Review

Minikit Slim

Those nice folks at Orange have kindly sent me a rather big selection of Bluetooth car kits to try out.  First on my list for testing was the Parrot MinKit Slim which as the name suggests is rather slim. I have used Parrot in car products before and actually owned the predecessor to the ‘Slim’ which was not as slim!

Is this new version any good. Well you will have to read on to find out.

HTC Smart available on O2

htc smartEarlier on today we brought you the HTC Smart unboxing video and what good timing it was as O2 have today released the device on both contract and pay as you go.

The PAYG price is rather good. A mere £100.00 which if you ask me is real bargain. Contract wise prices start at £15.00 per month which gets you 50 minutes and unlimited texts.

If you are tempted by the HTC Smart you may want to wait for our full review which should be online early next week.

We should also have some additional HTC Smart videos for you over the weekend.

HTC SUES APPLE FOR PATENT INFRINGEMENT

htc

It looks like HTC are seeking revenge for the Apple suing them and they are suing right back!

Seattle – May 12, 2010 – HTC Corporation today took legal action against Apple Inc., filing a complaint with the United States International Trade Commission (ITC) to halt the importation and sale of the iPhone, iPad and iPod in the United States.

“As the innovator of the original Windows Mobile PocketPC Phone Edition in 2002 and the first Android smartphone in 2008, HTC believes the industry should be driven by healthy competition and innovation that offer consumers the best, most accessible mobile experiences possible,” said Jason Mackenzie, vice president of North America, HTC Corporation. “We are taking this action against Apple to protect our intellectual property, our industry partners, and most importantly our customers that use HTC phones.”

HTC’s commitment to innovation has continued for more than a decade as it has focused on building a portfolio of the world’s most advanced smartphones that are inspired by consumers and provide them with a variety of choices in software, design, form-factor, price and wireless carrier. Today, consumers in the United States can choose between 12 HTC smartphones with the national wireless carriers. HTC has continuously strived to bring innovative smartphone choices to consumers, like the recently unveiled HTC EVO 4G with Sprint, DROID Incredible by HTC with Verizon Wireless and the HTC HD2 with T-Mobile. For more information on HTC’s long-standing commitment to consumers innovation and choice go to: www.htc.com/quietlybrilliant

We do not have exact detail on the infringements but I am sure they will be leaked at some point.

I think they should both just shake hands, be friends and let that be the end of it.
