HTC Sensation Launch Event Highlights

If you fancy having a look at the highlights from yesterdays HTC press conference where they announced the HTC Sensation you can do so here. HTC have released the video on their YouTube channel.

After playing with the new device last night I can say that it is a real beauty. The new features with HTC Sense are fantastic and the Sensation is sure to be a big hit and a worthy flagship device for HTC.

HTC Sensation press conference video

Here is the full press conference video from today’s HTC event where HTC officially announced the HTC Sensation.

In the video you’ll see and hear the hardware explained as well as a demonstration of the new HTC Sense 3.0 user interface and HTC Watch among other things.

Shorter than the normal presentation the whole thing was about 20 minutes from start to finish.

If you want to know more about the HTC Sensation please have a look at my Sensation demo video or my news post with full specification.

HTC Sensation demo video

As always HTC put on a great show at their press event today. I managed to shoot a few minutes of video of the HTC Sensation. It’s only a brief demo but does cover some of the best features of the flagship superphone.

Obviously we hope to get a review unit soon and we’ll have more video as soon as possible. I’ve also got a video of the press announcement uploading at the moment too and will have that live for you later today.

Acer Liquid Metal unboxing video

Acer have done quite well with their Android powered handsets that they sell under the liquid brand. Starting with the Acer Liquid itself about 18 months ago then moving to the Liquid E and then a special edition Liquid E Ferrari model.

Overall we’ve been rather impress with the Liquid handsets, they offer great features whilst not breaking the bank. The other great thing about them is that Acer are pretty quick to release updates for their handsets, the Liquid started life as Android 1.6 but soon went to 2.1

This latest Liquid Metal model comes with Android 2.2 Froyo (and update will be available soon), 800MHz CPU and 512MB RAM. What I like most about the Liquid Metal is that you get a 3.6″ capacitive screen that’s 480×800 pixels where other handsets at this price point have HVGA displays.

Check out the unboxing video below, Patrick’s full review is just a few days away.

Importing video in to iMovie for iPad – how to video

Since the iPad 2 was announced a little over a month ago one of the things I was most looking forward to using was iMovie for iPad 2. iMovie was demonstrated at the iPad 2 press event and it looked like it would be an ideal way for me to do video editing while out ‘on the road’ as I’m frequently at various product launches recording video but to get the video edited while away from home requires me to take along my Macbook a well as my camera and cables etc. iMovie on the iPad looked like it might be a great way to bridge the gap while still enabling me to travel light.

So I started to play with iMovie last weekend and frankly I was instantly disappointed! I record almost all of my videos on a Sanyo XACTI camcorder, the video quality is good, the cameras are nice and small and recording to SD card makes life easy. So I put the SD card in to the camera connection kit for the iPad and plugged it in.

It takes only a few seconds for the thumbnails of the recorded videos to appear and just a little longer to import the video in to the iPad. Once the videos are imported I can see them in the recent imports and they playback quite happily on the iPad itself. The frustration starts when you launch iMovie and cant see the videos you’ve just imported!

Sony Ericsson XPERIA Arc (retail) unboxing video

I’ve recorded a few videos of the XPERIA Arc already but previously I’ve only been able to look at a prototype build. I few days ago though I was lucky enough to get my hands on the final retail version of the handset and as promised I’ve recorded an unboxing video which you can find below.

Hardware-wise there’s no difference between this and the earlier version that I looked at but the retail version does have the latest ROM build which is a bit more fluid than the prototype, probably because it’s no longer set up for debugging.

We’ll be reviewing this XPERIA Arc over the next few weeks, as I said before, we really prefer to review final hardware.

One thing to note from the video below, the Micro HDMI cable was not included in my box but it will be bundled with the Arc when it goes on sale later this week.
