My great friends over at Mobile Tech Moment have done a fantastic job of showing us one of the latest iPhone and iPod Touch games to come to the App Store. Steve has given us a five minute video overview of Top Gun by Paramount Digital Entertainment.
It is another fantastic title with great graphics and game play but don’t just take our word for it, check out the video after the break.
We’ve looked at a number of ‘netbook’ PC’s in the past and almost all of them have one particular drawback; Small physical dimensions inevitably leads to a small screen which, while fine for casual use, can become a bit of a pain when it comes to web browsing etc.
Sony think they’ve come up with a solution though with the Sony P19WN/Q Vaio, they’ve crammed an 8" 1600×768 TFT display in to a 25 x 12 x 2cm package. The result is a beautiful looking small netbook with an amazing widescreen.
So slight and slim, you might not even know its there. About as thin as most cell phones, VAIO P series Lifestyle PC is a cinch to tote. Designed specifically for the ultra-mobile professional, this 8" miniature PC is small enough to fit in a jacket pocket. A lot of miniature PCs out there feature low resolution screens which makes for a sub-par web browsing experience. Basically, a low resolution screen means that you need to scroll side to side to view an entire web page… very annoying and time-consuming, especially when on the go.
I’ve only used the Sony P19WN/Q Vaio briefly as we only had a short-term loan of this review model but I have to say that it really is very impressive! The screen is stunning and overall it performs well. I’m expecting a retail version of the Sony P19WN/Q Vaio to arrive soon and I’ll be reviewing that as soon as I can. For now I’ll leave you with the unboxing video:

Our latest podcast is now available to download, in episode 35 we discuss the minimum requirements for future Windows Mobile 7 devices, Touch Pro2 coming in June, iPhone exclusivity deals, and Sling Player hits the App Store without 3G plus much more. You can subscribe via iTunes, RSS or download the mp3 file here. Full show notes after the break.
Looks like the Android device promises are starting to appear at long last, here is a video hands on with the Samsung i7500 which has some really nice specs. This one will surely give HTC a run for their money as Samsung seem to understand the whole 3.5mm headset jack and camera flash requirements where other manufacturers do not.
Take a look at the video after the break.
Matt from Tracy and Matt managed to get his hands on a pre-release HTC Snap for 24 hours and has put together a video unboxing and preview of the device.
It looks very nice and a good upgrade from the previous HTC front facing QWERTY Smartphone known as the Dash or HTC S620. Just wish this one had a higher resolution screen, 320 x 240 seems so old now.
Anyway take a look for yourself, the videos after the break.
We first saw the HTC Snap back at the beginning of April, the announcement probably made a number of Windows Mobile Smartphone (Windows Mobile Standard) fans happy as there seem to have been fairly few Smartphone powered handsets released lately.
The HTC Snap looks a lots like the older HTC S620 but I’m not sure if you can call this an update. In reality the Snap is a whole new phone, new CPU, more RAM and ROM, built in GPS etc. but it does take some design queues from the S620.
HTC Snap Description
Designed with a set of features selected to deliver everything you need without overwhelming you with things they don’t, the HTC Snap makes it easier than ever to stay in contact with life’s most important people.
Many people find they are overwhelmed by the amount of email they receive. In response to these issues, HTC’s innovative Inner Circle feature allows HTC Snap users to press a dedicated Inner Circle key to bring emails from a preselected group of people to the top of their inbox, enabling important messages to be acted upon immediately.
With a slim, sleek profile designed to fit perfectly in the hand, the HTC Snap measures less than a half-inch thick (12 mm), yet it can deliver up to eight and a half hours of talk time with the standard battery.
Thanks for my friends at devicewire.com I managed to get my hands on this pre-release version of the HTC Snap. The hardware is final but the ROM build is likely to change before launch so bear that in mind when you look at the unboxing and tour video below.
Sadly we were only able to borrow the HTC Snap for 24 hours, not really enough time to get to know the handset so I’ll hold off reviewing until such time as I can get a retail version to play with. I did previously like the HTC S620 so if you are a fan of the Blackberry style fixed QWERTY design then I suspect you’ll enjoy this handset.
The retail version should be available within the next few weeks but you can pre-order the HTC Snap from devicewire.com today!

We’ve mentioned the Orange Vegas a few times on the site already but we managed to get hold of one to review.
Although the Vegas looks a bit like the HTC Touch, and has some obvious design similarities, it is in fact made by ZTE as the ZTE X760 rather than being made by HTC. It’s also not a Windows Mobile handset instead having it’s own custom UI.
Orange claim that the Vegas is the smallest, lightest and cheapest touchscreen handset available, while I agree that the £49 price tag on PAYG probably does make it the cheapest touchscreen, I feel sure that the smallest/lightest prize would go to the Neonode N2.
So the Orange Vegas is designed as an entry level handset, there are no bells and whistles. The lack of WiFi and 3G as well as the poor camera resolution will, perhaps, make the Vegas a no-no for the more sophisticated consumer. However the price point will certainly be a big plus!
We’ll have a review of the Orange Vegas up shortly but in the mean time have a look at the quick unboxing video and handset tour.
