There's a new fastest texter in town after the previous record for texting was smashed by almost 10 seconds. Melissa Thompson, a British woman, was using Samsung's Swype technology on a Galaxy S and managed to bash out the following sentence in 25.94 seconds:
The razor-toothed piranhas of the genera Serrasalmus and Pygocentrus are the most ferocious freshwater fish in the world. In reality they seldom attack a human
She typed it almost 10 seconds faster than the previous record holder who was an American. Thompson was pretty clear about what had helped her beat the previous time "It's a real shock to find out that I'm the fastest texter in the world. But using Swype helped. Everyone should give it a go and see how easy it is." Presumably a shiny new Samsung of some description will be winding its way to her after that. The record has still to be verified by the Guiness Book of World Records.

When it comes to mobile operating systems functionality is of course important, but increasingly the look of the platform is being seeing as just as important in terms of what customers look for in their devices. Some vendors have this down to a tee i.e. Apple with their iOS, whilst others have had less success i.e. Nokia with just about every smartphone OS they touch. Step forth the boffins at The Astonishing Tribe. Yes the same The Astonishing Tribe that developed the UI for Android.
They've come up with a pretty impressive concept for MeeGo that lends the platform some eye candy, as you can see in the video below. Take the map widget, for example, just pull the widget out and a 'sheet' displaying the map unfurls and casually blows with a virtual wind. Granted it's not actually adding anything new in terms of pure functionality, but we all like something nice to look at right? The interface was built using a custom UI framework so this isn't something that is likely to make an appearance any time soon, but it's just the sort of thing that a manufacturer a little short in the looks department might want to invest in.

LG are one of the manufacturers known to be releasing a Windows Phone 7 handset when the platform first launches later this year. The C900, a horizontal slider phone, is known to be their introduction to the platform for the North American amrket, but a similar, albeit all touchscreen, device has been spotted doing the rounds. The new device, the E900, could perhaps be LG's launch product for the European market. Either way make sure you check it out in the video below.
