My new HTC P3300 (Artemis) device arrived last night from Smart Mobile Gadgets. My first attempt at downloading the free Tom Tom map of my choosing was frustrating. When you launch Tom Tom it eventually brings you to a web page where you can choose the map you want to download. When getting to the NY option, it gave me repeated “Page cannot be found” errors.

HTC TyTN Audio Jack Converter 11 pin to 3.5mm
Well it’s about time! Now you can get an adapter for HTC’s new ExtUSB jack so that you can plug in a normal 3.5mm audio jack. The ExtUSB jack is found on many new HTC devices such as the TyTN, Meteor, P3300 and P3600. If you want to charge the device while also pumping audio through the 3.5mm audio jack, you’ll also need an (as yet unavailable) Y cable splitter. Thank goodness they released these …

It looks like the successor to the HTC Apache is in the works and will be released by UTStarcom as the 6800. It’s unclear if this is actually a CDMA version of the HTC Tytn or just an HTC Tytn in a different body. I’m thinking it will be CDMA.
