Video: HTC HD7 Hands-On    [ 12-10-2010 17:32 ]

Author: Serge Novikov   Source: IntoMobile     Translation by: Paul Smith     

The second of IntoMobile's hands-on videos is definitely the more exciting given that it focuses on the HTC HD7. The HD7 is the 'heavy hitter' of the Win Phone 7 handsets announced yesterday with a 4.3 inch screen and stereo speakers. It also sports a 5 MP camera with dual LED flash. There's a 1 GHz Snapdragon under the hood, 8 GB of inbuilt memory and all the usual connectivity features e.g. WiFi, GPS, etc.

The video is about three and a half minutes long and gives you a nice run through of the handset with some of the apps and services being tried out. There's also a nice size comparison with the Sprint EVO 4G, also made by HTC. The HD7 coming out of the comparison a lttle slimmer.

IntoMobile have posted up a nice little hands-on video with the HTC Trophy, one of the Windows Phone 7 handsets announced yesterday. It's a short video, just over a minute, so nothing in-depth here, but nevertheless an interestingly little walkthrough for what should be the most affordable Windows Phone 7 option at launch. The Trophy is due to launch in Europe later this month.

SFR Leaks Pre 2 Details    [ 12-10-2010 17:20 ]

Author: Serge Novikov   Source: PreCentral     Translation by: Paul Smith     

The French network SFR has been letting slip some details about the next iteration of Palm's Pre, unoriginally titled the Pre 2. The biggest piece of information in the leak of course is that there is even a Palm Pre 2 at all. Until now there hadn't been any sort of official confirmation that the handset even existed. The leaked info is rather sparse, but there are a few choice snippets to pour over:

• 1 GHz processor
• 512 MB RAM
• webOS 2.0

SFR also comments on webOS 2.0 supporting 'Push' for the likes of Facebook, which presumably means that messages, notifications, etc will be pushed to your handset. The picture used in the leak looks remarkably like the original Pre, which may or may not be a good thing depending if it's the Pre 2 shown here and your point of view. Some may have hoped for a different design whilst others may still pine for its pebble beauty. At any rate it's coming, we just don't know when yet.

Apple Trademarks 'There's An App For That"    [ 12-10-2010 17:16 ]

Author: Ivanov Konstantin   Source: Unofficial Apple Weblog     Translation by: Paul Smith     

Apple have managed to snag the trademark for the famous line: "There's an app for that" and the world becomes a little less fun bcause of it. Harsh? Well maybe, but does every last word, phrase, colour, idea, philosophy, etc have to be trademarked? The tech world especially is repleat with companies suing and counter-suing each other because they infringed on patents or trademarks and then of course we have the issue of trolling ...

What will Apple do with its new found trademark? Sue people probably. It's a catchy phrase and one that millions of people use so Apple will no doubt be watching their competitors like hawks for any sign they're using it in promotional material. Maybe the other guys will come up with something better? If only there was an app for that ...

Video: Microsoft's Win Phone 7 Presentation    [ 12-10-2010 17:10 ]

Author: Irina Turina   Source: Microsoft via Engadget     Translation by: Paul Smith     

Microsoft have posted up the video of yesterday's Windows Phone 7 launch in New York and it's definitely worth a watch, if for nothing else than the demo of the various services. The video starts out a bit slow with Steve Ballmer giving the usual corporate shtick, but it soon gets into a full blown demo so you might want to skip ahead.

P.S. Look out for the funny little sliding tables.
