I’m a fan of HTC, in fact, I own a HTC Touch. It works perfectly with most of the applications including my favourite “Windows Voice Command 1.6“. (Download it free here)

DigiTimes has it that HTC has already shipped its first shipment of over 10,000 Touch Diamond mobiles to Hong Kong CSL, which has consequently sent our saliva glands into overdrive. The report continues on to say that deliveries to European / Asia-Pacific operators should get going in June, though no further details were mentioned. Meanwhile, North Americans are left to weep softly to keep from embarrassment.

When comes to UMPC, most of you think the Asus Eee PC? Well, Dell wants to jump onto the mini UMPC bandwagon as well, with a mini Inspiron (not the official name as there is no announcement from Dell just yet) being the fruit of their labors. There’s no word on what operating system will this diminutive computer run on, nor how much it will cost, but it does feature a trio of USB 2.0 ports, a memory card reader, VGA out, and an Ethernet port. To satisfy both parties, Dell should offer both Windows and Linux where Linux have lower price tag. Do you think this will be Atom-powered, and just how much internal memory will it hold?

Claimed as yet another iPhone killer by Tech evangelists and bloggers,the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1 has on incredibly high-resolution(800*480), 3-inch VGA touch screen display. With a unique arc-slider design,the X1 feature a new desktop GUI called ‘Experia panels’, a nine-panel interface that’s eye candy on the high-resolution display. These panels are finger-friendly marvels that permit access to applications running on the phone via the home screen. Navigation is possible either by touch, arc-sliding QWERTY Keypad, 4-way joypad and an “optical joystick”.

The X1 also has loads of other features like quadband GSM as well was UMTS/HSDPA/HSUPA network support, WiFi, aGPS, microSD(400 MB on phone memory default) and of course, Window Mobile 6.

As far as keyboard goes, I have changed about 2 in 10 years which last pretty long. SteelSeries released 7G Pro that would last over 50 million keystrokes! Say you type 13698 keystrokes per day, this keyboard will last you over 10 years! Now let’s reveal the price… it costs $150usd.

Now it brings a mathematical question, an average keyboard costs about $10-15. Would it be better off buying an ordinary keyboard?

If you like to play Flash games like me, you may enjoy playing this game for the first 30 minutes. Afterwards, you will be pulling your hair out with frustrations! It’s probably the most difficult online game I’ve ever played. I passed the 7th level, but there are 30 levels in total!

CrackBerry surprisingly managed to snag a BlackBerry 9000, and here they are with a review. I have digested the entire review and churned out a bulleted list of all the important points to consider if you’re thinking of getting the BlackBerry 9000. I think it surpassed the Blackberry 8800 series where it’s commonly use in companies.

Here’s the hardware specs:

• Decent battery life during testing
• Extremely fast compared to the Curve, does not suffer lag!
• 480×320 LCD display is crisp, bright and sharp
• Subtle changes to keyboard for better typing
• Externally accessible microSD memory card slot
• GPS navigation System
• Extremely bright notification LED and trackball
• Convenience key location is questionable
• Easy accessibility to SIM card

Do you like to drink while watching hockey, football, basketball and other sport games? Yes, I do! Sometimes it’s hard to keep track of a fun filled evening of beer drinking, especially when it comes to the exact number of how many you’ve had to drink.

Let there never be question again. The Beer Tracker never lies - each time a beer is cracked it is counted on the neat digital display. Read the rest of this entry »

As some retail stores opening midnight, eager gamers have lined up to get their hands on the long-waited Grand Theft Auto IV. However, earlier this week many reports came in both the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions of GTA IV were experiencing freezing problems, with no comment from Take Two or Rockstar at the moment - Sony just recently did.

The problems keep arising for GTA though. In particular, the PlayStation 3 release is being fingered as more likely to have issues with online play, though with the release so fresh out of the door it’s hard to pass judgment.

Newsflash – The US is currently experiencing a shortage of Nintendo Wii consoles. Okay, so that’s really nothing new, and neither is the fact that Nintendo is still sincerely upset about that fact.

Currently Nintendo is producing around 1.8 million units per month, of which I believe the US hulks more than 40%. In order to compensate for the continuous high demand, they are planning on increasing that number to 2.4 million. Let see how much longer will the Wii consoles stay on the shelves - may be extra 30 minutes?
