The HTC HD2 was recently launched on to the Vodafone network in the UK costing nothing on a £35/month plan and above. O2 have now started selling the HD2 and offering it for free, but for £45 on their network. The contract might be £10/month more expensive, but the more expensive contract only ties you down to 18 months rather than the 24 months of the Vodafone contract.

The phone it’s self has a very large 4.3 inch touchscreen and the HD2 runs the Windows Mobile 6.5 operating system that runs HTC’s own custom Sense UI which actually makes WM6.5 quite good from what reports say. [Read more…]

Google [GOOG] have announced that Google Maps Navigation is now available in the US for those running Android 1.6 on their phone. The maps software is compatible with most (if not all) 1.6 based devices including the older T-Mobile G1.

Google Maps Navigation was first made available just a few weeks ago when the Motorola DROID was launched that ran the Android 2.0 operating system.

When using the software in the US you have on your phone a full satnav system that is kept up to date by Google and those providing maps. The service is online which requires you use a dataplan unless you want to run up a large bill. By having the service online you always have access to the latest map data available. [Read more…]

A few weeks ago XDA Developers folk managed to get Google Maps Navigation working on the T-Mobile G1. Of course, the navigation side of the software only worked in the USA and if using in Canada, Europe and anywhere else in the world you simply didn’t have the option to use navigation. Yet again the XDA forums people have managed to solve this problem and Google Maps Navigation can now work on your G1 along with the navigation features out of the USA.

Details of how to get navigation working can be found over on this thread. [Read more…]

The iPhone has had a few projectors launched for it of which they look quite good. The latest that I came across just today is the HypnosEye that although does it’s job of projecting an image, doesn’t look that good. Looks aside though, the HypnosEye is a simple projector that uses a lens and mirror to project images seen on the screen of your iPhone.

No power supply or batteries are needed as it just reflects what’s on the screen on to a wall. For this reason you need to set the brightness of your iPhone or other player at maximum and switch auto-adjustment off.

Quality isn’t great, but in a dark room you will see a larger image on the wall of what’s on the screen on your phone. [Read more…]
