Bringing a PC environment to Mobile

The new Samsung OMNIA allows users to switch seamlessly between Microsoft Outlook email and productivity applications that replicate the look and feel of their PC - with a stroke of their finger.

Based on the most up to date Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional operating system, Samsung OMNIA gives users a mobile extension to their PC experience, with access to MS Office documents such as PowerPoint, Excel and Word. Users can also send and receive email and manage their appointments in Outlook while on the go. The Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional operating system means users can download additional programs as they would on their PC and customize it for their individual needs. For ease of navigation an optical mouse similar to those on laptop computers offers improved usability and one-handed control.

Touch Diamond                                  Touch Pro

Sprint has had the HTC Touch, Mogul and several other models, but honestly this comes as a surprise to us that Sprint will soon have the HTC Touch Diamond and the HTC Raphael better known as the HTC Touch Pro. The HTC Diamond was the first to be released originally so naturally Sprint should be releasing the HTC Touch Diamond first. But rumor has it that the HTC Touch Pro will be the first to hit the market for Sprint's CDMA network in September of 2008 and the HTC Raphael is to follow it's release to Sprint in November.

There are rumars circulatng that Apple is working on the iPhone 2.1 Firmware already and are focusing on enhancing the GPS funtionaly of turn-by-turn navigation. "Specifically, the core location functions will be able to track what direction you're moving, and how fast. Also worth noting is that iPhone SDK 2.1 is also seeding to beta testers, but cannot be used with the app store." There is not news specifically weather or not it will be available for the first generation of iPhones with out the 3g campaility.

It looks like this time around it will not just be the Apple Store and ATT Authorized Dealers selling the Apple iPhone. This time around, it is rumored that Radio Shack and Best Buy will have the second coming of the Apple iPhone with its’ new 3^rd generation data feature. The first time around the estimated sales of the Apple iPhone were at 500,000 to 700,000. It’s hard to tell if history will repeat itself or exceed itself by out selling the estimates of last year.

Call it the HTC Raphael no longer. HTC has officially announced the Touch Pro as their newest pocket pc with a full slide out, QWERTY keyboard. The HTC Touch Pro is the successor to the famed Tytn II (which I currently use). The Touch Pro delivers less internal storage then the Touch Diamond at 512MB internal, and 288MB RAM, but a generous 8x more memory than the Tytn II. The unit also has a microSDHC slot, a 2.8-inch VGA screen, 3.2-megapixel autofocus camera, GPS receiver, and a 1350 mAh battery. As with previous Touch series models, the Touch Pro will also have the Touch Flo 3D user interface, but with Windows Mobile 6.1.

Expect the Touch Pro to be released in Europe by late summer, and Stateside, shortly there after.
