The Dutch seem to have hit it lucky this weekend and managed to get their hands on the hottest device in Windows Mobile history. We have three videos after the break showing Video and Audio Quality, TouchFlo 3D and finally Opera Mobile 9.5. If your sick of hearing about the Touch HD or from the USA we apologise but it is one exciting device. Videos after the break.
Finding a beta copy of Windows upcoming reinvention of their operating system is fairly simple however some clever chappies have decided it would be interesting/manic to test it on an Eee PC 1000h with some rather positive results. There is an interesting article over at Laptopmag to chronicle the caper.
Thanks to the guys at wmpoweruser for the heads up on this, now you can download the manual for the HTC Touch HD, we have the link right here and I am downloading it now to get myself familiar with anything new ready for receiving mine next week. XDA-Developers also have a very interesting thread going on where you can read and ask questions from a member who has his Touch HD already.
Russ has just informed me that the Mobile Tech Addicts Podcast is now listed in the Kinoma Podcast section of their software. Russ has it running on his Xperia X1 and has taken a few screenshots of the podcast part of the software showing us under the mobile section. Good to see us in there and watch out for a full review of Kinoma, not the free but the full version which apparently can sync with iTunes in some way or another. Screenshots after the break.

Take a break from the Xperia and Touch HD grabbing all the headlines an have a look at a review of another impressive device. E-ten have produced a rather attractive Windows Mobile with integrated digital TV. As usual the presentation of the device is pretty good. Video is after the break.
Slashgear have got their hands on the HTC Touch HD and posted a great video review which we have below, also they have done a questions and answers section too where they have confirmed that this phone will not have TV Out. Unfortunately it does not have the chipset required for TV Out so bad news on that one. You can see the video after the break with some of he more interesting questions.
The guys over at areamobile have put together another video this time giving us a comparison of the Touch HD and the Xperia X1. It’s in German buts its another good opportunity to look at these two high end devices side by side. I don’t see these as competing devices as you either want a device with a slide out keyboard or you don’t, so there is definitely room for both. Check out the video after the break and thanks Big Mo for the info.
Another video of the Touch HD this time showing how easy it is to customise the tabs on the bottom of the screen in TouchFlo 3d. We should have ours next week so expect a massive review with videos and high res pictures aplenty. Personally really looking forward to getting my hands on this device. Video after the break.
The Unwired is reporting that during Motorola’s Thursday earnings call, Sanjay Jha, co-Chief Executive of Motorola and Chief Executive of mobile devices, said “Windows Mobile 6 has not delivered the experience that I think Apple has been able to deliver, but as you look at the plan that is Windows Mobile 7 and even 6.5, I think there are significant new added features which will help the platform”. According to Jha, Motorola will open a new office in Seattle “in order to work closely with Microsoft to deliver differentiation” via the Windows Mobile platform and a first Windows Mobile 6.5-based smartphone is expected in the second half of 2009. First we have heard of Windows Mobile 6.5 so hopefully we can get some more details soon.
