It’s not an iPad

arm-ipad-clone-1PMP Today have come across this little gizmo. A ten-inch touchscreen tops this tablet that runs Google Android and is powered by a 600MHz ARM SoC processor. No word on pricing yet and that homescreen looks like something only fools would believe. We’re not saying this is an official iPad clone just yet, not until they provide us with a video.

Orange to get the HTC Desire – in black!

Capture20_38_0

I’m pleased to let you know that Orange are jumping on the band wagon and will be stocking the HTC Desire soon. As you will see in the tweet sent by Orange PR manager and Xmas karaoke star (sorry Conor!) Orange will also be offering a Black version of the device.

This now gives Orange a fantastic line up of smartphones as the HTC Desire joins the iPhone, BlackBerry Bold 9700 and the forthcoming Sony Ericsson Xperia X10.

The Desire is not yet showing on the ‘coming soon’ page on the Orange website but if Conor says its coming, it is! For those of you that are due an upgrade or thinking of switching to Orange the dilemma you now have is which phone to get. It may be a hard decision.

Nice choices Orange 🙂

Interestingly gifting cannot influence ranking of apps:

HTC Desire review

HTC Desire review

HTC Desire review Ever since I first saw the HTC Desire, a week before MWC, I’ve been thinking that it could well be the handset that I’d use on a daily basis. Indeed there has been some discussion here at tracyandmatt about who will be doing the review. However, as I was the one to review the Nexus One I’ve pulled rank and it’ll be mine to review!

I’m sure that many will look at the HTC Desire and think of it as being simply HTC’s own version of the Google Nexus One and I guess in some respects that could be a fair assessment but is it as simple as that? There are a few differences under the hood and plenty within the user interface that make the HTC Desire look and feel quite different. We’ll talk about those differences as we go but probably the main differences are the optical trackpad and buttons on the Desire where the Nexus One has a trackball, single mic on the Desire vs the dual noise-cancelling mics on the Nexus One and finally HTC’s own sense UI on the Desire where there is a more ‘vanilla’ Android experience on the Nexus One.

So does the HTC Desire meet expectations? Read on to find out… (a word of caution, there are a LOT of images but you can click on any one for a full-sized view.)

HTC Desire demo video

Desire-Brown_Front Back Left I’m in to my second full day of use with the HTC Desire and I have to say that I am really enjoying it. We just have a few more days to play with it before it has to go back off to HTC ready to go out to the next reviewer.

Yesterday I posted on Twitter and asked for your questions regarding the HTC Desire and lots have you have given me some work to do! I’ve decided to record another video of the HTC Desire in use where I can answer a few of those questions and also look at some of the apps in use as well as pointing out one or two of the problems that I’ve been having.

It’s another 20 minute video for you so sit back and enjoy!

Memory Booster Demo Video

Memory Booster Demo Video

bbmb If you are like me and use your BlackBerry a hell of a lot you may notice on occasions it slowing down. This is caused by the devices internal memory being used up.

With a lot of applications installed on the device and with the BlackBerry not having a huge memory this can be a common problem.

I have been using an application called Memory Booster for about a month and as you will see in the video below its a rather good way of keeping the BlackBerry running as efficiently as possible.

There are several apps that do the same sort of job as Memory Booster so I’m not endorsing this one, it’s just that this is the one I like. Demo video after the jump.

T-Orange. A New Network?

T-Orange. A New Network?

87235

Orange and T-Mobile are considering building an entirely new UK network following their merger next month, it has been claimed.

T-Mobile has discussed the feasibility of building a network from scratch with Nokia Siemens Networks and Huawei in the UK.

Deutsche Telekom and France Telecom, parents of T-Mobile and Orange respectively, are considering purchasing new base stations to cover 900Mhz-26000Mhz bandwidths, enabling GSM, UMTS and LTE coverage.

New base station technology from infrastructure providers Nokia Siemens Networks and Huawei use significantly less power than existing sites, and are also much cheaper to build.

T-Mobile was unavailable for comment. Orange said the joint venture will require engagement with infrastructure companies anyway, apparently dismissing the idea of a full re-build.
