After spending a few moments investing in it, there is no problem to us this the Touch Pro is HTC’s the majority of massive handset to date (even if you count the Xperia X1). Okay, the phone is a good deal a bit thick (roughly the same as a Tilt), and there is no 3.5mm headphone jack, but it is got a actually miniscule footprint and a outstandingly comfortably proportioned keyboard. We can additionally actually unquestionably increase in value the lengths HTC is expected to struggling to build Windows Mobile a bit a reduced amount of doggish these kinds of days — but got properties to spice up the Touch Pro in a capacitive touchscreen and Android, HTC can only hold a game-changer on this hands.

But what is taking place short of the hood you ask?

The workstation in addition serves up double hard push bays configurable as RAID 0 or 1 (SSD or traditional disk, naturally), up to 8GB of DDR3 RAM, and an optional Blu-ray burner. Of course, that is totally kitted out — the W700 starts at $2,978 and moves skyward from what i read in there. Take a check at our hands-on underneath and see the beast for yourself.

Hands-on with Helio’s hot hot Heat

Thursday, May 8th, 2008 by admin

features, hands-on, heat

This Heat showed up at our doorstep today (that’d be the phone, not the post-punk band), and we have to say, we’re swooning. We’re a little bummed the Heat doesn’t have a memory card slot, but that excepted, this is by far our favorite Helio phone to date. It’s strange that this is positioned as lower end than the Drift, but that’s cool, you can save a little cash and get a nicer phone that’s even a little smaller. Enjoy the eye candy in our hands-on gallery.

Pioneer KURO and friends hands-on

We got to plant our eyeballs on Pioneer’s second-gen KURO plasma display (bottom center), along with all that other new gear Pioneer released today. While all by its lonesome the new flagship display is no doubt impressive, when stacked up against the competition it becomes quite clear that this new KURO is the one to beat. Granted, this was Pioneer’s own setup designed to make us believe precisely that, but we certainly did find the new display notably blacker than its predecessor, and quite a lot better than the competing offerings Pioneer had on display. The new KURO projector was also quite impressive, and we even got treated to the much-improved start times of Pioneer’s new Blu-ray players.

We had a little thumb-print orgy with the new HTC Touch Diamond immediately following its launch. Light and small, the Touch Diamond comes off as a unit with promise. Unfortunately, we’ll have to wait a while to get our hands on this via a US carrier, but Orange users in the UK will no doubt be pretty happy with this new handset, the first of its kind to use Windows Mobile 6.1.

Check out the gallery below, complete with comments and interface walk-through. A couple vids after the break, too!

Verizon’s Hub will interact with Verizon Wireless phones

Thursday, April 24th, 2008 by admin

We’re still trying to piece together the Verizon Hub mystery — namely whether it’ll be available outside the realm of Verizon’s FiOS broadband customer base — but either way, we have some evidence here that it’ll play nice with the Verizon Wireless handset of your choice. The device was designed from the start to be the be-all, end-all wireline home base (hence the name), so it really comes as no surprise that there’d be some interaction with mobiles for those rare occasions when you simply must leave your home. What you see here are a couple of diagrams (just follow the arrows!) involving the transfer of information to and from Verizon Wireless-branded cellphones; in the first, an address is looked up using the Hub’s yellow pages facility, located on a map, then transferred to an LG VX9400. In the second, a lovely photograph from a beach (seriously, what are we doing in front of a computer right now?) is snapped and transferred to a Hub, where it’s displayed in real time. Fun stuff — let’s hope owners of any old broadband connection are going to be able to partake.
