HTC P3470 looks Swish!
February 13, 2008 by Leave a Comment
HTC have introduced their latest smartphone which is heading to the European market. It is the P3470 and measures 108 x 58.3 x 15.7mm. The screen is 2.8 inches and touch screen and the device, as to be expected, runs the Windows Mobile OS.
Features
* Bluetooth 2.0 with EDR
* Quadband GSM/EDGE/GPRS networks
* 2 Megapixel Camera
* 200MHz TI OMAP 850 Processor
* QVGA Screen (Touchscreen)
* 256MB ROM, 128MB RAM, microSD card slot for memory expansion
* USB 2.0 connectivity (more then likely used to charge also)
* GPS
On the downside there is no 3G or wireless networking which is a shame. Both of those really do need to be standard for this type of device. If you can get over that then HTC have created a great looking device with a nice amount of features.

Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1
February 11, 2008 by Leave a Comment
The XPERIA X1 is made by Sony Ericsson and is built in response to Apple’s iPhone. Will it be an iPhone killer though? From initial thoughts it certainly does look the part. Apple’s iPhone was criticised by some for not having a real keyboard. Rather, they opted for an on-screen keyboard which actually works quite well. The XPERIA X1 has a full QWERTY keyboard which slides out to the side in a similar way to what a HTC Tytn does. This allows it to integrate well with Windows Mobile 6 which is the OS that powers this device.
The screen is 3 inches wide and supports VGA resolution which is 800 x 480 pixels. As can be expected, the display is touchscreen. Connectivity on the device includes A2DP Bluetooth, aGPS, WiFi and it connects on quad-band (GSM/EDGE) and UMTS, HSDPA and HSUPA. The camera on the device is 3.2 megapixels and includes a flash. Memory can be expanded from it’s standard on-board 400Meg via a microSD card.
Overall a seriously nice looking phone which seems to have all the main desired features packed in to it. With it running WM6 it allows for a large variety of software to run on it which is an advantage over the iPhone. Definitely a phone to look out for.

PC Car Stereo
February 8, 2008 by Leave a Comment
The Navisurfer II is a complete PC which replaces your car stereo. The screen is 7 inches and runs at an 800 x 480 resolution. The screen slides out from the single DIN stereo and flips up to reveal either Windows XP or a Linux distro. The software running on Windows is configured especially for in car use which means you will see GPS navigation, media player, video player and a cool diagnostics piece of software which can show various things from your engine. Not only do you have the basics in there, you can also hook up other devices such as video cameras for reversing, controllers for playing games and it has USB connectivity too. The spec of the Navisurfer II isn’t too shabby either. A few variations are available which have from 40GB to 120GB of hard disk, 256Mb to 512MB RAM and prices are from $578 to $656.
Overall it’s a nice looking system and will work well in your vehicle.
