HTC have just released another Rom update for the HTC Diamond, this is version 1.93 and is available for all UK and European handsets. As usual with any HTC Rom update it is only available through the HTC E-Club and will appear under software updates for your device, or give it half an hour and you will be able to get it from xda-developers. The Rom claims to update the camera navigation, improved TouchFlo response, updates to weather application and text alert speed, if you update let us know how it works out.
My great friends over at Mobility Today have commissioned an iPhone software developer to create an application for them and it is now live and available for download in the App Store. The application is fantastic as it allows you to stream any of the Mobility Today podcasts over the air to your iPhone or iPod Touch. Hats off to Mobility Today for being the first site to create their own application for podcasts. You can find it in the Entertainment section of the App Store.
No this isn’t a mistake or a repeat-post but in fact HTC just released another ROM update for the HTC Touch Diamond. This time it’s version 1.93 and is available for the UK and other European countries.
As with other HTC ROM updates, in order to download the update you must have an HTC Touch Diamons and have registered it’s serial number through your e-club account. Once you have done this then the download will be available as a “Phone Software Update” in the “My Downloads” section of your account.
The download is just over 98MB in size and the update process takes around 20 minutes to perform. This is a full ROM update so EVERYTHING will be wiped from your Diamond (Internal Storage is Safe) during the upgrade so be sure to backup all of your important data before you begin the update process!
Updated in this ROM:
I’m downloading this ROM update at the moment and I’ll let you know how I get on with it later.

Over at Steve Trotto dot com you can get a new podcast featuring Alli Flowers from Mobility Today (amongst others) and J Doss, a web designer. Looking forward to hearing this. The team here is a unique voice of all things mobile.
Coolsmartphone is reporting that the HTC Touch Pro is coming in August to Vodafone’s business shop. There isn’t too much information to be gleaned from the site however Coolsmartphone has an article in relation to the Data bundles Vodafone are offering.
Here is a game that might turn some heads. The iPhone will be blessed with a version of one of the bigger games in the near future. Kotaku have some nice images of a rather impressive environment and an interesting control method:
"Apparently the game will use gesture-based touching to activate force powers, such as drawing a lightning bolt to activate force lightning."
Atraware and PopCap games always come up with funky and unusual games and Insaniquarium certainly fits in that category so is a great game for those that like video games, although if you’re looking for games to play with your children there are great options like escape rooms near charleston sc that you can ennjoy as a family activity.
Check out the press release below:
Astraware and PopCap Games, Inc. are excited to announce the release of one of PopCap’s flagship titles for Palm OS and Windows Mobile smartphones. Insaniquarium DeluxeTM offers hours of frantic aquarium fun as you feed your fish, watch them grow and protect them from alien invaders!
Insaniquarium Deluxe is the craziest aquarium game ever – tend to your fish and keep them happy and they’ll reward you with precious coins and jewels. Use the money you earn to buy upgrades for your tank or egg parts which hatch lots of different in-tank pets with special powers. These pets can help you feed your fish, collect coins, or even protect against the aliens that will invade your tank and wreak havoc. You can also use the money you earn to buy better weapons to see the aliens off quicker!
Insaniquarium Deluxe includes 3 fun ways to play:
- Adventure – keep your fish healthy and protect them from aliens through 4 fun aquarium stages each with multiple levels of mayhem;
- Time Trial – feed your fish and fight off the alien invaders to make as much money as possible against the clock. A new time trial is unlocked as you complete each stage in Adventure

Today we discovered that Vodafone are going to carry the HTC Touch Pro and, a little earlier than we expected, are due to launch the device some time this month!
For those of you that don’t know about the Touch Pro (where have you been hiding?) this is the new device from HTC that’s very similar to the HTC Touch Diamond in terms of size and specification but the Touch Pro looses the 4GB of internal storage in favour of a MicroSD card slot and also sports a sliding QWERTY keyboard which has given the Pro the unofficial nickname ‘TyTN III’.
I suspect that the Touch Pro will have a great deal of appeal to business customers and wonder if the imminent launch of the Touch Pro is why Orange are not offering the Touch Diamond to corporate customers?
You can see more of the HTC Touch Pro on the Vodafone Business Shop site.
The HTC Touch Pro has all the elegance and magic of the HTC Touch Diamond and adds a five row QWERTY keyboard for the ‘heavy messaging’ user. The HTC Touch Pro also comes with added flexibility of a MicroSD slot, which when combined with the optional accessory of the TV out cable means that the device can swap between slide presentations, music library, video player with ease. Launch expected in August
We are expecting to get our hands on an HTC Touch Pro review unit within the next week so watch this space for more news and reviews!

This takes me back. Not the game but the hero, Larry Laffer. I could resist taking a stab at playing this new game for the Windows Mobile. Whilst the iPhone is receiving Super Monkey Ball and Crash Bandicoot we Windows users get to sit back and harass, leer at and use cheesy lines on women. Its all done in the best/worst possible taste with the emphesis on sleaze. Larry is an icon of MS Dos and Windows 3.1. It seems only fitting that our misogynistic come to Windows Mobile and in a pretty good looking game too.
