Aiptek is a brand name that I only recently came across. They are probably a little better known in the USA than on this side of the pond.
The other day I got my hands on the Aiptek AHD Z500 Plus HD Camcorder to have a look at. The Z500 is a budget HD Camcoder that records up to 1080p on SD or SDHC memory cards.
The RRP of the Z500 is £250 which ir pretty amazing for and HD camcorder and so far I have been very pleasantly surprised by both the quality and specification. The HDV21X has a 5 megapixel sensor which can record up to 30 frames per second at 1080p or 720P at 60 frames. You’ll be able to record up to 8 hours of 1080p video on a 32GB SDHC card. As for still images, the Z500 shoots at 8 megapixels and even sports a macro mode for both video and still. Also on board is a 3x optical zoom, CIF mode for easy YouTube uploads and a 2.4-inch swivel-mount TFT LCD
Does this all sound too good to be true? Well you’ll have to come back in a week or so for Nick’s review of the Z500 and we’ll also include some sample footage to help you make up your own mind!
For now you can have a look at the unbox video below:

What is the Samsung i908? Global Certification Forum have given it GSM compliancy. The Unwired have an article that guesses this is the North American variant of the Omnia. Hope this means everything is on target for the August release date. This certainly looks like one of the most exciting phones of the year.
Just been tipped off about a video from hdblog.it They have done a great side by side comparison of the Opera Mobile 9.5 browser on the HTC Diamond and the Safari browser on the Apple iPhone 3G opening web pages and rendering speeds. Its a very interesting watch and shows the two browsers are very similar in speed. Of course what we do not know is what speed the HSDPA network is operating at as the HTC Diamond is capable of HSDPA speeds of up to 7.2mb/s against the iPhone’s 3.6mb/s. Full video after the break.

Three are offering mobile broadband with free USB modems and a 5 Gig allowance for £7.50 per month with an 18 month contract. This is an amazing deal and the links can be found after the break. We recently reviewed this mobile broadband and found it to work great in City Centres but not so good outside of these areas. Full details after the break.
We posted a while ago about the problems we were having with the Dension Gateway 100 iPod car adaptors not charging the new iPhone 3G, well thanks to one of our readers Gabe we have some answers on what caused the problem and what the solution is if you have a Dension Gateway 100. Details after the break.
The application is now available in the app store and WordPress have just announced that it is available now. "WordPress for iPhone just launched on the App Store. Download it now and get to blogging. Video after the break showing it in action.
We posted recently about an upcoming iPhone WordPress application and they have just given us an update on it’s availability, nothing firm as yet but the app has been finished and submitted to Apple for inclusion in the appstore. from WordPress "Just a quick update that we’ve successfully uploaded the app to the iTunes Store, and the status message “In Review” indicates that the Apple team is conducting their testing procedures. We have not been provided with an ETA — so it could get approved at any time."
Alli Flowers has posted a great video overview of the Palm Treo 800W over at msmobiles. One of the things that stands out for me on this device is the speed navigating the menu’s. The treo seems really snappy and mixed with the extras that Palm add to their handsets this could be a really good device. Unfortunately CDMA only so forget seeing this in Europe but we have heard the Treo 850 GSM version should be along soon. Video after the break.
Here is an interesting graph by way of Pocketnow.com. Simply shows which phone has the sharpest display measured by Pixel Per Inch (PPI). Really is quite interesting to see the Xperia screaming ahead of the competition and I never honestly noticed you could reduce Sony Ericsson Xperia to Sexperia.
