The Cry Translator is an easy to use iPhone app that quickly identifies the five distinct cries made by infants: hungry, sleepy, annoyed, stressed or bored. These five cries are universal to all babies regardless of culture or language.
The Cry Translator technology has been tested in Spain and North America with impressive results. Based on the degree of accuracy evidenced in the studies, Biloop Technologies developed an iPhone application for consumer use. For more information on the clinical trials, please visit www.biloop.com or read a recent article in Spain’s Paediatric Medical Journal.

Now if only they could develop an app that can understand women they could really be onto a winner 😉
Undoubtedly the biggest release in app store this week is an iPhone version, original porting, of Grand Theft Auto game, the “Chinatown Wars” edition. Why biggest? Well, the console version of this game is huge hit, and also in app store this app has reached, merely in 2 days (!), top sales positions in several countries + Apple is promoting this new release heavily everywhere in iTunes.
Arrival of big game studios to iPhone probably means that soon no longer indy game developers will have any chances to compete…

The HTC Espresso is one of those devices that is a bit of a mystery at the moment but is expected to be officially announced by HTC at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona next month.
Although specs for the device are not confirmed we believe it will be be an Android handset possibly with a QWERTY keyboard. What we have seen this week though is the UI and it looks pretty special.
mobilementalism.com have this week posted some photos of the Espresso ROM running on a HTC G1.
HTC Espresso ROM on HTC G1
As you can see above, this new UI, that will sit on top of Android 2.1, has moved on from the “Sense” UI that was seen on the HTC Hero and then on the HD2. It’s more like TouchFlo 3D than Sense if you ask me.
HTC Espresso Menu
The menu also has been reworked with each icon sitting in a nice transparent square. Plus there are a few new icons such as “IM” and “HTC News”. I am pretty sure they were not on the Hero or HD2. It certainly looks nice but as we all know, things are quite prone to changing before an official release so we will have to wait and see how close these images are to the final product.

A few days ago I posted some pictures and comments of the Nexus One vs the iPhone 3GS. That post seems to have gone down rather well and many of you have now asked for for photos of the HTC HD2 along side the Nexus One.
I’ve been using the Nexus One for about 5 days now and I’m still enjoying the experience. It’s a speedy little device for sure. Thanks to Paul I’ve also discovered a different web browser called Dophin Browser, that offers Multitouch on the Nexus One and so adds pinch to zoom functionality. It’s a pretty handy add-on, just a shame that the native applications don’t support multitouch.
So to the HD2 comparison photos.
As you can clearly see from the pictures below, the HTC HD2 is significantly larger than the Nexus One. The screen on the HD2 is 0.6″ bigger at 4.3″ vs the Nexus One at ‘only’ 3.7″. Both are the same 480×800 resolution though and both are capacitive. The Nexus One has an AMOLED screen though which makes the colours brighter and more vivid. The HD2 measures 120.5 x 67 x 11 mm and the Nexus 119 x 59 x 11.5mm. I think the size difference looks and feels more significant that the raw numbers suggest but that may be partly due to the HD2 being almost 30 grams heavier.
In terms of device ‘thickness’ there’s very little between the HD2 and the Nexus. I fact the Nexus is 0.5mm thicker than the HD2 which does surprise me. Holding and using them both you would think that it was the other way around at least. This, I assume, is probably due to the HD2 having slightly squarer edges than the Nexus.
Personally I think that this shot best demonstrates the size difference between the two devices. Having used the Nexus one for 5 days now when I pick up the HD2 it starts to feel a little too big.
So to completed the photo montage of handset comparisons here are a few of all three devices together. So we have Nexus One vs iPhone vs HD2. Looking at the three like this I think that the iPhone is starting to look a bit dated, I’m pretty sure that Apple will be addressing this later in the year! The HD2 is a big beast of a device both in terms of size and specification.
Don’t forget to take a look at my Nexus One unboxing and demonstration video if you haven’t already. And please do post your questions or comments about the Nexus One (or anything really) over on our forums using the comment link below.

We’ve spoken about the Three MiFi ‘dongle’ a few times in the past on T&M and we had even had a discussion about it on the Mobiletech Addicts podcast a few weeks ago.
The Three MiFi
I say it’s a dongle but perhaps this little device doesn’t quite fit that criteria. Essentially the MiFi, made by Huawei, is a small battery operated unit that takes a Three SIM card. The unit connects to Three’s 3G data network and then shares that connection over WiFi so it’s simply a case of connecting any WiFi capable device to it. The unit itself has a preconfigured WEP key that can be altered later so it keeps you connection secure but you can also connect up to 4 devices simultaneously. It’s basically a wireless 3G router.
An excellent bit of kit and we’re writing up a review for you as we speak. I thought I’d just do a quick video for you so that you can see what it looks like and what’s included so please check out the brief unboxing below.
MiFi Specification:
- Download speeds of up to 3.6MBPS
- Battery, Li 1500mAh with up to 5 hours connection time
- Charger (Std. 3-pin UK)
- USB cable (mini plug/standard plug)
- No internal memory
- Memory card supported, microSD 32GB
- Dimensions: 86 x 46.5 x 10.5mm
- Weight: 90g
