HTC is preparing to launch a their newest handset the HTC Supersonic.

According to the Wall Street Journal, that’s about to change. Though they aren’t naming their sources, they say that Dan Hesse himself will be dropping the good word about the Supersonic in the middle of his CTIA keynote on Wednesday, March 24th.
Im really keen to get my hands on this new HTC Supersonic and see if all the hype is justified.
The HTC Desire has to be one of the best lookign mobile handsets on the market. Unlike some other mobile companies who think that customers only want one specific colour, HTC has done a silver version of its popular Desire handset.
This silver handset may be the very colour AT & T goes with when it launched the Desire on the US market.
Handsets are hot, the Nexus One, iPhones, and more to come that are sure to burn a hole in our pockets as we look for the best form and function phones we can use. Most recently Android has become the new mobile OS that is driving the market crazy, perhaps even surpassing the usability of the iPhone OS. There seems to be little room for the Windows OS on mobile platform, but they still power some pretty nice handsets, and the new upcoming Sony Ericsson Aspen is just one of them.
Planned for a Quarter 2 release with no price tag attached, the Sony Ericsson Aspen is part of the company’s GreenHeart line. This means you’re going to find a much more eco-friendly handset then in previous models. To set this handset apart the site states that the Aspen will “offer eco-friendly features like a power saving mode, eco mate application, electronic manuals, waterbourne painting, and a body made form recyclable materials.”
While a Windows OS phone may not seem attractive, the Aspen is, and with new developments to the OS, it’s sure to go hand in hand very well. The device will offer a full QWERTY-keyboard for quick messaging, microSD storage, a 2.4in QVGA screen, 3.5mm head phone jack, FM radio, GPS, WIFI, Google Maps and so much more.
We reported yesterday that Nokia was going to enter the netbook market and today it is official. The Finnish mobile giant has up until now only been involved in the mobile handset market, but now here are the specifications on their new Booklet 3G.
This is key because Nokia are the largest manufacturer of mobile phones in the world and when entering the netbook market they have tried to producing an amazing product and before Apple and others enter the market.
What are its specifications telling us? Well, it’s definitely big on connectivity: it’s got Bluetooth, WiFi, 3G and a SIM card slot, which makes it a netbook with all the connectivity options of a mobile phone. It has an integrated GPS plus a copy of Ovi Maps, which is also different from most laptops. The rest of its features are, well…netbooky, albeit nearer to the high-end of the specter: an Intel Atom processor, Windows 7, 10.1 inch screen, and all that encased in a 0.78 inch aluminum body.
Im now very interested to see what Apple bring to the netbook market in the coming month or so.
Android devices seem to be the next big thing and are hotting up the market pretty quick with Google being the main warrior. However recently, there have been rumours that the old Finnish mobile giant Nokia were planning to jump into the Android platform and abandon its Symbian platform which the company actually owns.
The company bigwigs decided enough was enough and flat out denied any rumors that they would be releasing an Android phone onto the market at the Nokia World event in Germany this coming September. A report stating these predictions in The Guardian has been responded to by Nokia. “There is no truth to this story whatsoever. It is a well known fact that Symbian is our platform of choice for smartphones”, said Nokia in a statement to TechRadar.
For a company to make such bold statements about its own future in the mass media it’s almost a sure thing that Nokia won’t be using the Android platform anytime in the near (or distant) future, preferring to stick to its own developments. As for the meantime, Nokia are continuing in their development of a new platform of their own called Maemo OS for their internet tablets. Outsourcing is not one of Nokia’s favourite habits.
Tatango is a new ad-supported group SMS service which has been making huge steps forward since gaining funding and a new design six months or so ago.
Sign up, invite some friends (they have to opt-in, else this thing would be a spam machine), and you (or anybody you dub as a group admin) are able to SMS the entire group at once, either from the browser or right off your mobile handset.
The basic service is free, supported by 30 character advertisements strapped to the bottom of each message. Ad-free messaging is available along with a few other pay-per-option premium features but, at just under $35 bucks a month.
