The T-Mobile G1 Google Android device is launching very soon and in my full review with over 250 images and 5 videos I give you a good look at just about everything about the device.
The Nokia N95 multimedia computer is the hottest mobile phone on the market right now and I show off the multimedia player with Rhapsody music, Gmail in landscape mode, new web browser features, and Feature Pack 1 settings updates.
HTC announced the HTC Touch Windows Mobile 6 Professional device with a new touch screen technology called TouchFLO. TouchFLO adds a "flickability" to the device as well as the ability to pan and scroll with touch.
The T-Mobile Shadow is a new Windows Mobile 6 device from HTC that presents the user with a unique user interface. Most of the common functions are brought to the Home screen so the user doesn't have to dive into the details of Windows Mobile.
Opera Mobile 9.5 was announced back in February 2008, but has yet to appear for download. It is just starting to make its way onto new Windows Mobile devices and the HTC Advantage X7510 (2nd generation) comes with Opera Mobile 9.5 integrated into the ROM. This mobile web browser is outstanding and provides more functionality than the rather revolutionary Apple iPhone browser.
I have now had the HTC Touch Dual for a couple of weeks and am using it as my primary mobile device. In this much higher quality video (compared to my first one taken with another smartphone) you can see some of the functionality and speed of the device.
The HTC Advantage is a niche market device and fits in between the smartphone and UMPC categories. This 2nd generations Advantage adds some functions, but also loses a few features found in the 1st generation device. I take a walk around the device and improvements in Windows Mobile 6.1 in this video.
The HTC Advantage X7501 was just made available at U.S. retailers like CompUSA and Amazon starting at US$850. This Windows Mobile 6 Professional device packs in everything, but the kitchen sink and after just a couple of hours with the device I found it does many things very well.
The HTC Touch Diamond has a very cool panorama capture mode that I show in this video. I also take a look at the response of the device and some other cool features and functionality. An issue or two I am having with it is also touched on.
The T-Mobile Shadow is the most user friendly Windows Mobile Smartphone and they included some cool indicator light patterns on the directional pad. Check out the indicators and predictive text input technology in this short video.
So there are 3 demo games on the Nokia N81 8GB that I had a chance to play and took video of today. N-Gage is the new gaming platform for S60 devices that should be released sometime in December.
A couple challenges facing Windows Mobile smartphone users is the small displays and small keyboards that limit productivity. Celio Corporation is getting ready to launch their REDFLY Windows Mobile Smartphone Companion and we have an early beta model to evaluate for a couple of weeks.

HP used to be the premier Pocket PC maker, but has struggled a bit the last few years. The HP iPAQ 910 Business Messenger may help get HP back on track, even with the delay of about 8 months getting the device out the door.
The first US version of the powerful HTC Touch Diamond was just announced by Sprint and will be coming to Sprint in September. I just received a 2-week evaluation unit today and offer a first look at the hardware and software of the device.
The AT&T Tilt (aka TyTN II/HTC Kaiser) is a new Windows Mobile 6 Professional device that runs on a fast 400 MHz processor with 3.5G support, integrated WiFi, Bluetooth, and GPS. The display tilts up so you can put it into "laptop" mode.
