“It looks like a Asus P-series smartphone but according to the information we’ve just received, this is a brand new Asus A-series smartphone sports Windows Mobile 6 Professional, a Marvel 520 Mhz PXA27x CPU, 256 MB ROM and 128 MB RAM. Uncommon for Asus A-series devices are the WWAN functionality since A-series devices are normally PNA (Personal Navigation Assistant). But the information we’ve just received mentions, that this device features GSM/GPRS/EDGE and HSDPA at 3.6 Mbps as well as WiFi and Bluetooth!”
Along with the goodies stated above, the new phone is also rumoured to be carrying an FM radio, SirfStar III, and a 3.2MP autofocus camera. Nice to see Asus making strides on the hardware side - if this rumour is true.
Ever since I started using the iTunes/iPod combination, I have been on a quest to find an easy way to sync my Windows Mobile device with my iTunes music collection. I was able to manually copy unprotected AAC music files to a Storage Card but the process left out the playlists. I had to recreate them with Windows Media Player Mobile. With my T-Mobile Wing it is not practical to remove the Storage Card… Read More

“Before I start this mini-review of the XDA Flame I have to explain that most of my usage is data and that by far the best mobile signal available to me at home is from Vodafone - who also offer some of the most expensive data rates. Also, I’ll say now that I’m pleased with the Flame but it has shortcomings (as you’ll find out). I’ve worked my way through numerous PDA’s - both Pocket PC / Windows Mobile and Palm - starting with a Philips Velo 1 and ending up with an HTC Hermes. Along the way I had an Exec which I had to retire when I found I needed more data than Vodafone could offer at a sensible price - so I switched to T-mobile. The Exec wouldn’t hold a signal with them but the Hermes would so that was the end of the Exec - but I really missed the VGA screen. When the Flame was announced it came with, what is for me, the perfect spec. This included infra-red - something that is vital for me but no longer available on the new HTC offerings. Because of this I decided to take the plunge and order one from Australia. Five days after spending £527 and placing my order (and that included a weekend) the Flame was in my hand. A couple of weeks after I received the Flame I also received an import duty / VAT bill - which I was expecting - of £110 making a total cost of £637, a lot for a PDA but the perfect spec doesn’t come along every day!”

“If you want to find out current location of your friends who use VITO FindMe, ask them for their codeword and send it via SMS to their Pocket PC Phone Edition. In return you will receive an SMS with their coordinates that can be looked up at Google Maps.”
Well, we can’t complain about the price, right? If you’re interested in sharing your GPS location with your GPS-enabled friends, this may be worth your time. As always, let us know if you’ve managed to give this a spin yourself.

“I mentioned in my HTC Touch review that HTC seem to be pushing the envelope with their handsets at the moment. It’s fair to say that HTC are adding features and functionality quicker than even Microsoft themselves. Now, with the Kaiser, HTC has thrown everything into the specifications listings - the only thing missing is the kitchen sink.”
Personally I’m upset that HTC decided not to include the kitchen sink in this device 
. Really, the only thing I can find wrong with this device is the form-factor (As some are not fans of the sideways slider). Once you get past that, what more could HTC offer in this device to “please all the people”? Now I just hope that once I can get my hands on one of these, they live up to the hype!

Well, I’ve been using the Cavalier for approximately three days. In an interesting dichotomy, it’s very similar, yet surprisingly different to the Dash. The hardware differences are visibly noticeable, but it’s not until you handle it do you realize just how different they are. The edges are square, even sharp on the Cavalier. Juxtapose this with the Dash and its rounded curves and you have two very… Read More
