Top dawg in town

So the big news in town is the HTC HD2. Ya I said 2 I remember when the first was announced and released. The phone itself is a big escape from the normal hardware that we see on most windows mobile phones. Ya there are some higher spec'd phone like HTC advantage. (bigger screen) 
Lets get the specs out of the way
°4.3 inch capactive screen 
°5 MP camera with flash and autofocus
°WVGA (800x400) screen
° 512 mb rom 448 mb ram
° 1230 MaH
° 3.5 mm stereo headset
Among other things. 
  First lets talk about the big ones; 
Capactive screen this will be the first windows mobile phone to have it. But it mostly relys on htc adjusting the target point on the screen and some adjustment on th UI. Some of the windows mobile 6.5.1 menus have been made finger friendly.  As you can see in the picture HTC has gone to great lenghts to skin windows mobile. The home screen looks nothing like it did a few years ago.

Some of the negtives being reported are choppy scrolling. Also note that the fellows over at fuze mobilty have said it works fine on a "fuze" aka touch pro

got a new Toshiba TG01 guess what it came with

so if you were lucky enough to buy a Toshiba tg01 recently you might have had a surprise in the box. sure it didnt come described on the box or in the manual but according to some reports it was a nasty little bugger. the device that launched on the 02 network and was hope to be a flagship winmo device came with a virus on the microsd card. not much is know about the actual virus but its said to infect regular computers not pocket pc's. no real damage most pocket pc user do a hard rest and format there card anyways to you should be fine

Another windows mobile devices gets dual booted os

Looks like another windows mobile device gets the option to boot in  different operating systems. The first being windows mobile 6.5 and now android. This is yet another benfit to windows mobile, that other operating system can do. 
But in all fairness this is barley working on this model. Not fully functional as other ports. The HTC Vouge aka touch has a port to android as well. The Vouge can make and recive calls, as well as text and surf the web

Hd wobble not what you would think

Iboobs come to windows mobile in the form or HDwobble. If your not familiar with the app, you basiclly get to shake a womens breasts by simple shaking the phone in the direction you want them to move in. Using the gsensor in the new HTC Pocket pcs you have the ability to so. But the diffrence between iboobs and this app is that you can chose the are that you want to jiggle

windows mobile are they naughty by nature?

so could this be the beginning of a good thing for windows mobile? what i mean is that are they going to start going mainstream with celebrities and music artists, to promote windows mobile as this cool capable operating system? sure Naughty by Nature is a old school rap group, but if Microsoft keeps up with this type of marketing then could bring back windows mobile to its glory day. lets not forget windows mobile is more than capable of doing everything the new "Iphone 3g S" can. as a matter of fact its been doing it for years before the iPhone even came about.
but then there will be those fans boys that no matter what you say, will try to bring down windows mobile and just laugh at this type of ad. for instance they will say "its just a shell" (referring to touchflo 3d) or "its to slow and clunky". that maybe true but how many other mobile os do you know that can run different operating systems on them? I ask you don't you ever get tired of not being able to send a text while streaming music? dont you hate having to stop surfing the on the web when you get a text to respond?
i hope Microsoft brings windows mobile back to its glory days and show the new mobile os community what a smart phone is

Is this the HTC Firestone

Some pictures have surfaced that look like they could be the HTC Firestone. The device looks very bland, nothing really stands out. Yes it has a 8mp camera but looks like it lacks the optics to make the camera good. Seems like all the newer pocket pc's (yes I said ppc not professional) are starting to just "mush" into looking the same. Most of them are now rocking 3 plus inch screens, all of them are rocking at least  500 mhz processor. None of the current or up coming devices stand out from each other. Sure you can say well this has a 8mp camera ,this has a oled screen but its only minor features that separate them. Could this be another stumbling block for windows mobile? Or was it ment to happen so that windows mobile could progress further.
