HTC EVO 4G


Well, if you do not know about it, HTC EVO 4G is out and it is gaining a lot of popularity.
If you need any proof of these, the sales of HTC Evo 4G on its' release date is the proof of it. All of the devices disappear from the shelf in no time.
This is definitely good news for HTC and also Android....Google OS for mobile.

And there are a lot of people who opt for the HTC Evo 4G and chose not to wait for iphone 4G. Well, this is something that Apple must take note of.
Also, let's not forget about Microsoft.

Will Iphone 4G be able to attract the consumers like its' previous generation did? And can Microsoft be making a strong comeback with Windows Phone 7?



The sales definitely show that a lot of people are confident with Android platform and people love the high speed connectivity. A lot of people also know about the issues and problems Evo 4G has...the storage card bug issues and the battery issues. But knowing all these issues, people are still buying them.

It is hard to see if it's all just hype or is it because the Android phone is really that cooL??
We're all waiting to find out!!

5 HTC Windows Phone 7 on the way?

Just when everyone is busy talking about Android and iphone, Windows is trying to play catch up with their latest Windows Phone 7.
Apparently, there will be 5 HTC phones running in Windows Phone 7 platform coming.

There is the HTC Gold_W (with the "W" indicating it's a CDMA + GSM world phone) headed for Sprint.
The HTC Schubert headed to Telus
HTC Mondrian for Telus and Rogers
The HTC Spark_W headed for Bell Mobility and Verizon
HTC Scorpio reaching Verizon and Bell.

There are not a lot of details on these phones at the moment but many are looking forward to see how Windows Phone 7 will develope. Although there have been a lot of criticism on these latest effort by Microsoft on mobile products, many are hoping that Steve Ballmer will finally get it right this time.

Will Windows Phone 7 help Microsoft fight back in the smartphone industry? That's something that we will be seeing at the end of the year....

22 Inch LCD TV

With LCD TVs are getting cheaper each day, it is quite normal to have at least a minimum size of 22 inch lcd tv in the family room. Not only 22 inch LCD TV is affordable, but 22 inch LCD TV has decent viewing size which makes it more comfortable for the whole family to sit together and enjoy their favourite movie together.

A real frustration with HTC TyTn ii

Now first of all, I know that it is probably outdated to be talking about HTC TyTn ii now that the latest HTC Evo 4G is emerging. Well, just to let those of you guys who are changing new phones all the time...it is great to be doing that...new gadgets, tech and all that are real cool. But there is always this problem. If you keep changing phones, you are actually contributing to the pollution of the environment. (I'll be starting a blog on this soon enough)

Well, saying that doesn't mean I won't change a new smartphone but let us learn to appreciate and make full use of our phones.

Well, I'm having a hard time trying to use my sis' HTC TyTn ii. I'm still using my HTC P3600i which is my love. Although the specification of these phones are not as great as iPhone, HTC Desire, Nexus One and others, with the right applications, my phone is pretty useful for everything.

Anyway, back to HTC TyTn ii. To be honest, I'm at the point of giving up. (as I suspect that the issue with the phone is hardware, and my sis phone no longer under warranty.)
I tried flashing the ROM again with the official update from the HTC page and I even asked around people in the forum.
But none of them actually solve the problems with the phone. The HTC TyTn ii has been freezing and even crash at times. This happened almost everyday. I even find it difficult to be using the SMS function.

I'll give myself another week with the phone and if it really still don't work, I might consider giving up on this project and recycle the phone instead.
Just feel the need to release the frustration...signing off now!!

the real competition in the mobile world

We have heard a lot about the iphone for the past few years. Of course, it is a normal scenario given the fact that Apple products have always manage to give us surprises and the WOW! factor.
But then just as the Apple Iphone seems to be without any competitor, we have the Droid phone coming out....Google of course is at the right track.
This then leave Microsoft helpless with their old, dull and boring Windows mobile 6.5. I mean...what the heck!! the upgrade was nothing much and people hate it.
It was then that the announcement of the Windows Phone 7 being made at the WMC, World Mobile Congress. Just as Windows 7 was a hit, the WP7 seems to be on the right track as well. The WOW! factor is back....and people are starting to talk about Microsoft getting serious in the smartphone industry.
Then it was not long after that we heard about Iphone 4G and people are starting to be amazed again...although I don't see too much a difference. (forget me for being bias here) and let us not forget about iPad...the name might be quite sissy but the sales that just hit 1 million is telling us a different story.
Well, the real competition in the mobile is beginning. We are seeing a lot of major changes.
The money that you pay for your smartphone will be worthy of its' values.
For those of you who think that 2010 is awesome with all these announcements, I can tell you, 2011 brings you even more excitement.

Microsoft "Pink" is the beginning of a new mobile direction?

Well, it is not a surprise to be hearing about Microsoft "Pink". After all, this was supposed to be one of the top secret under Microsoft project. Well, when Microsoft chose instead to talk about Windows Phone 7 during the MWC, it was rather a huge surprise and a big question mark on where would that leave "Pink".
That question mark is about to be answered because in less than 15 minutes, Microsoft will introduce two phones, codenamed "Turtle" and "Pure".
We have yet to know about the name of these phones and rumours about the specifications have yet to be confirmed...

2010 holds a lot of excitement for the mobile world

It has been quite some time since I blog. I was busy with my studies, assignment and also helping YenLeng to prepare for her exam. Well, I also need to write a lot of articles but then it is good as it helps me to make some extra money as I have yet to receive my scholarship money.

Well, 2010 indeed holds a lot of excitement for the mobile world. First, we have the MWC that release the details about Windows Phone 7 (apparently, the series has been deleted from the name), then we have the release of Ipad (although the buzz and hype about this is not that WOW!!).
Anyway, APPLE still manage to hold something exciting for us this year with their best product, the iPhone....and it's the 4G. There are a lot of rumours about the launch of the iPhone 4G around the mid of the year.

Now, the question that is running through my head is whether Microsoft could finally beat the Apple. Well, there have been a lot of questions about the strategy to promote their products and apparently, Apple still has the edge as the Itunes provide a lot of different applications that could be very useful in our community today. Of course, Microsoft boast about the integration of ZunePlayer, Xbox Live, and apparently, the company is taking advantage of this to attract more gamers.

Well, it will still be a long way before we know who will be the NEXT thing...but one thing for sure, the date of the decisive battle between Microsoft and Apple is drawing closer...indeed, 2010 holds a lot of excitement for the mobile world!!
