Official biography of Horace Luke May 07, 2008; [General] Horace Luke is the new HTC super-star and a design visionary of HTC and holder of the official "Chief Innovation Officer" title!
So here is his official (provided by HTC) biography: HTC event May 6th 2008 - in high-quality stereo AUDIO May 07, 2008; [with touch-screen] We will yet publish a full video recording of the HTC event's main part - the presentation with several speakers and we will publish also video snippets with Horace Luke (snippets because 8 GB SDHC memory card in our video recorder has been filled and we couldn't record more). ... but in meantime here are raw audio files from this event, that we publish hereby unedited in high stereo audio quality for you to enjoy: High-resolution official photos of HTC Touch Diamond May 06, 2008; [with touch-screen] Why would you like to see some reduced in size images or images with somebody's logo on them, if you can see high-resolution and original photos of this new phone? Here is overview:
HTC beats Nokia: HTC releases as the first one a touch-screen phone with tilt sensor - HTC Touch Diamond ! May 06, 2008; [with touch-screen] Nokia plans to release a Symbian S60 touch phone with tilt sensor but there are some issues and this phone is being delayed, and it is HTC, not Nokia, that releases as the first such phone! ... and this phone will be available to all operators and also to all customers without operator branding. The name of this phone is "HTC Diamond" (but it will be sold through operators under different names too) and the most important new feature of this phone is tilt sensor, meaning that you can play games like this (this game will be included in the phone but developers will be able to develop their own games that take advantage of tilt sensor):
... where you can move balls by tilting the phone in various directions! Apart from that you can do many other useful functions like rejecting incoming phone call, rotating Internet browser, etc. with use of this function - it is not just a gimmick useful in games. It is a new revolutionary feature first seen in a phone powered by Windows Mobile (note: previously we postulated to Microsoft to include tilt sensor API in Windows Mobile)! Apart from revolutionary tilt sensor, HTC Touch Diamond brings something wholly new to HTC manufacturing: stylish design! And this design is meant not just in hardware but also in software. Work on HTC Touch Diamond started at HTC in November 2006 - exactly then when Horace Luke :
... has left Microsoft and joined HTC (in other words: when HTC poached him from Microsoft). Everything that we wrote about Horace Luke appeared to be spot-on! But first things first, so let's take a look at a box in which HTC Touch Diamond will be sold (note: it looks like pyramid! ... or a diamond): Out and about - going to HTC event in London today ! May 06, 2008; [with touch-screen] While we strive to provide broad coverage of events on both sides of the pond - USA and Europe - our focus is on depth and multimedia (both video and high-quality audio) rather than on live delivery. Nonetheless we will provide a live coverage of today's HTC event to a certain extent: Do you need protection? May 05, 2008; [with touch-screen] Much has been discussed in Windows Mobile forums about screen protectors. Most agree that they are important, but which is the best? That decision is become a little harder. Listen to Kirk Feller, and watch him demonstrate BodyGuardz, a seemingly indestructible shield for your screen or your entire device. DivX Mobile Player 0.90 Released for Windows Mobile May 05, 2008; [General] This story evaded our attention - actually this player was released already 2 weeks ago - but here it comes: Photos of HTC Diamond and specifications - leaked May 03, 2008; [with touch-screen] HTC Diamond will be officially unveiled on May 6th, 2008 but today first real photos of this phone leaked! HTC Diamond looks like, er, a diamond:
The specifications of the HTC Diamond according to the leak are: May 6th, 2008 - big day for Horace Luke from HTC ? May 03, 2008; [with touch-screen] The motto of the HTC event that takes place in London, UK, on Tuesday, May 6th, 2008 is "Witness the next wave of HTC Innovation". So it looks like it will be big day for Chief Innovation Officer at HTC: Horace Luke! Who is Horace Luke? Weekly audio: Windows Mobile related podcasts that have been published last week May 03, 2008; [General] Reading websites and watching TV or video requires you to focus wholly but you can listen to audio while doing something else: like commuting, driving the car, walking the dog, jogging... so here comes a weekly dose of fresh (older episodes not mentioned at all!) audio content about Windows Mobile phones: HTC CENSUS leaked on FCC May 02, 2008; [with touch-screen] The model name of this PDA is CENSUS (FCC ID is: NM8CENSUS) and it has huge 3000 mAh battery, so clearly it is a phone for U.S. census that is carried out every 10 years in USA (note Harris branding - Harris is a company specialized in providing solutions to governments):
Vodafone Germany confirms GSmart t600 - the phone with full mobile TV ( DVB-T ) May 02, 2008; [with touch-screen] While England was disqualified form Euro 2008 football championships by small mediterranean (neighbor of Italy) country of Croatia, Germany has 100% chances to go outside of their group and has big chances to become Europe champion in 2008! In other words: it is big boon for mobile operators in Germany to offer mobile TV... and with DVB-T no additional costs are incured so DVB-T phones will be hot topic in Germany in May and June... Quality of TV broadcast in t600, thanks to DVB-T and VGA display is stunningly good:
HTC event next week - who will be there? May 02, 2008; [General] Our reporter will be at HTC event in London on May 6 (an event for invited industry members and journalists only - not for everybody) too, but who else is coming? Here is our informed guess: Microsoft launches Windows Mobile Connection May 02, 2008; [General] Microsoft's "Windows Mobile Training" site is lauching windowsmobileconnection.com web forum that is redirected to windowsmobiletraining.com/connection . Windows Live ID is required to participate. In other words: Microsoft launches, a bit more inclusive than other Microsoft's initiatives, web forum for salespeople who sell Windows Mobile phones but also for all kinds of "experts" - but not for consumers: Previous page Next page  |
