Both Chris from Mobility Site, and Arne from the::unwired have a bit to say about the upcoming HTC Artemis and HTC Trinity, with a picture or two for show as well. In my opinion, the Trinity doesn’t look too bad, but the Artemis still looks a little queer - but hey, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

“Microsoft Corp. today announced that the redesigned Windows Marketplace Web site is now live and available for customers. Among a bevy of enhancements, Windows Marketplace adds integrated electronic software distribution through Microsoft’s digital locker. The digital locker enables customers to purchase and download software with increased safety and security as well as track purchase history and store software license information.”

“How many times have you found yourself stuck in a traffic jam, construction zone, or even a blizzard, and wished you could have seen the road conditions up ahead before you got there? Radio reports and roadside signs are all well and good, but all too often you’re already caught up in a problem before you hear about it. Traffic Vizzion (pronounced “vision”) makes it possible to keep an eye on the road ahead by bringing live images from thousands of traffic cameras located across North America and the UK to your cell phone or Pocket PC. And, uniquely, if you have a built-in or external GPS, Traffic Vizzion patent pending technology can automatically show cameras near to your current location, or along the road directly ahead of you, long before you get there!”

Traffic Vizzion only requires a wireless data connection, though additional value is provided if you have a GPS receiver as well. With GPS, you can leverage downloadable Yahoo! maps to view your current position at all times and see where nearby cameras are situated. Unfortunately, this service is not available everywhere; consult this page first to determine if your desired city is supported.

Trial service is available. Standard subscription cost is $5/month or $39/year. Both Pocket PC and Windows Smartphone devices are supported. If anyone out there has every tried this great-sounding service (or something similar), give us your thoughts!

“A SUPER confident Symbian is claiming to have kept the Beast of Redmond at bay with a 65 to 70 per cent share of the smartphone sector, according to CEO, Nigel Clifford.”
