Interesting feature of this phone is a built-in OCR software that converts photos into text: more...Post your comment (free registration is required to post, but if you register you can edit your posts later) Trippr for Windows Mobile and 30 applications in 30 days July 03, 2008; [with touch-screen] Some people have too much free time on their hands... like certain developer, who has created 30 applications for Windows Mobile in 30 days and posted info about them, including source code.

As you can see above the widgets can be floating or also can be maximized. Essentially widgets are just mini-web-pages constructed with use of HTML, JavaScript and images: more...Post your comment (free registration is required to post, but if you register you can edit your posts later)Microsoft rebrands Windows Mobile user club July 01, 2008; [General] Windows Mobile Owners Circle has been renamed to Total Access. New website design arrived too. Great, but where is multi-touch support in Windows Mobile? Where is that promised Internet Explorer with IE6 rendering engine and Flash support? In recent months Microsoft has awarded in total 500 million USD to 2 marketing companies to polish Microsoft's image, particularly in Vista area, but Microsoft should be working on features rather than spending money on marketing. At the end no matter how much money will be spent on marketing, it all boils down to the features. more...Post your comment (free registration is required to post, but if you register you can edit your posts later)Yet another review of HTC Touch Diamond published July 01, 2008; [with touch-screen] This phone is now on sale officially in Europe and Asia, so no wonder more and more reviews appear.

Some people mention, that tilt sensor of HTC Touch Diamond is a feature that can sway many people to buy this phone, but another amazing advancement of this phone, is YouTube stand-alone application that is included in HTC Touch Diamond and that offers even high-quality watching meaning the image sharper than in iPhone because it uses full 640x480 pixels (and iPhone has only 320x480 pixels = 2 times less): 
Once you open the YouTube application you see the following welcome screen (we publish screen shots here one-to-one, i.e. in original resolution as they appear in HTC Touch Diamond): more...Post your comment (free registration is required to post, but if you register you can edit your posts later) [ 11 Comments ]Bill Gates leaves Microsoft for ever, but what has he contributed to Windows Mobile ?

This time we present screen shots of camera software, sample photos and description of the camera that is built-in into HTC Touch Diamond:
