New Image of the HTC Polaris

On July 9, 2007 By Adam Z. Lein In Hardware, Pocketnow

“Mobility Man” of Smart-Mobile-Gadgets.com has leaked a few new renderings of some of HTC’s future products on Bengalboy.com. Of special interest is the new HTC Polaris imagery. This looks like the successor to the HTC Aremis which has been my primary device since it’s release. It’s hard to tell if the photo shows a new version of the scroll wheel, minus the trackball, but you’ll notice the flush screen which means the Polaris will likely …

Engadget’s iPhone review

On July 3, 2007 By Adam Z. Lein In Hardware, Pocketnow

Engadget has posted a very detailed review on the new Apple iPhone. The fact is, there’s only a very short list of properly groundbreaking technologies in the iPhone (multi-touch input), and a very long list of things users are already upset about not having in a $600 cellphone (3G, GPS, A2DP, MMS, physical keyboard, etc.). If you’re prepared to buy into the hype, and thusly, the device, it’s important that purchase (and its subsequent two …

The Unfinished iPhone: A comparison of the iPhone vs Windows Mobile

On July 2, 2007 By Adam Z. Lein In Hardware, Pocketnow

Seth Fogie of InformIT.com has written a decent comparison between the iPhone and his Windows Mobile 5 Cingular 8125. Apple has done it again. They created incredible hype over the iPhone and have managed to redefine the landscape of the cell phone market. However, as one who has been around mobile devices for some time, I wondered if the excitement was really justifiable. So, I figured I would take a chance and go buy one …

Paul Reviews the HTC Kaiser P4550

On July 2, 2007 By Adam Z. Lein In Hardware, Pocketnow

Paul over at MoDaCo, has posted a review of a pre-release version of the much anticipated HTC Kaiser Windows Mobile 6 Professional device. Up until now, compromise has been the order of the day. Want GPS? Then you can’t have QWERTY. Want a compact form factor? Then you can’t have a QWERTY either, unless you give up 3G. There have been some great devices (HTC Trinity, HTC Herald)… but the device we all really want …

Matthew Miller of ZDNet writes in his article about the T-Mobile Wing: As you can read below, while the Wing may not have the cool iPhone UI it is able to do more and has AMAZING predictive text functionality that beats Apple’s simple word correction mechanism.

Sandisk to Produce 4 and 8Gb MicroSDHC cards

On June 27, 2007 By Adam Z. Lein In Hardware, Pocketnow

As posted by Engadget, Sandisk has announced 6 and 8 Gigabyte MicroSDHC cards. It’s unclear if this is a new version of the MicroSD format which may be uncompatible with current devices or weather the HC just stands for High Capacity and will work in what we’ve got right now. Hopefully it’s the latter. Not one to miss an opportunity to seize the moment, SanDisk’s Jeff Kost says that with the new microSDHC cards, “any …
