HTC expands the successful HTC Touch Family ~ Unveils the HTC Touch Cruise in India ~

Navigation at your fingertips with a stylish and powerful phone with TouchFLO™ technology and featuring integrated GPS.

New Delhi (India), May 6 2008 –  (TAIEX: 2498; “HTC”), the world's leading provider of Microsoft® Windows Mobile® smart devices, today launched the HTC Touch Cruise™, the third member of the HTC Touch product family and the first to feature built-in GPS for personal navigation. Building on the popularity of the HTC Touch™, and the HTC Touch Dual™, the HTC Touch Cruise also includes the HSDPA wireless connectivity.

Users on the move will easily be able to interact with the HTC Touch Cruise’s navigation functionality and can take advantage of HTC’s TouchFLO™ technology, which enhances finger touch scrolling and browsing of web pages, documents, messages and contact lists, controlled by simply sweeping a finger across the screen. TouchFLO also offers the ability to view photos and photo slideshows using on-screen controls and to zoom and rotate images with only one hand.

Stylish and sleek in design, the HTC Touch Cruise comes in Black Sapphire and is a further illustration of HTC’s commitment to innovation and to building a suite of touchscreen devices that cater to a variety of customer needs and styles. The HTC Home™ screen provides one-touch access to emails, text messages, calendar appointments and contacts as well as current weather conditions and forecasts for many cities around the world. Users can then simply sweep their finger up the display to launch an animated, three-dimensional interface comprising three screens: Contacts, Media and Applications. The interface can be spun by swiping a finger right or left across the display, providing efficient access to the features consumers use most.

The new Touch Cruise boasts of super fast HSDPA connectivity plus Wi-Fi® and Bluetooth®, making it a highly connected device for consumers on the move. Its 2.8” screen is great for enjoying mobile multimedia and because it runs on Windows Mobile 6 Professional, the built-in Windows Media Player is ideal for music and movies.

Mr. Ajay Sharma, Country Manager, HTC (India) said, “The HTC Touch Cruise™ is our latest offering in our continuous commitment of ushering in technologically advanced and top of the line converged devices in India. The original HTC Touch has already proved to be a phenomenal success in India, and the HTC Touch Cruise™ with fully integrated GPS adds another dimension to our leading touchscreen device family. “

The HTC Touch Cruise utilizes mapping and navigation solutions from the MapKing R12 application. Other key features include a three megapixel auto-focus camera, FM radio and microSD memory card slot for adding to the 256MB ROM and 128MB RAM. In addition, it comes with WorldCard Mobile to manage business cards more efficiently.

Launched in June 2007, the HTC Touch was the first member of the HTC Touch family and has proven to be a massive hit since its launch. The HTC Touch Dual, which incorporates HSDPA connectivity and a sliding keyboard, was launched in December 2007.

AT&T Inc. (NYSE:T), Microsoft Corp., HTC Corp. and I-play announced the creation of the AT&T Game Development Contest for Windows Mobile to discover the next breakthrough mobile game. Windows Mobile games represent the fastest-growing segment of the AT&T gaming business. The AT&T Game Development Contest, launching May 1, is truly unique as it represents the first time all members of the mobile gaming ecosystem are collaborating in an effort to inspire the developer community to take mobile gaming applications to the next level.

In a May 2007 research report, Gartner Inc. forecast worldwide mobile gaming end-user revenue to reach $9.6 billion in 2011 — up significantly from the $2.9 billion realized in 2006. Gartner attributes this projected growth in mobile gaming to consumer awareness and the increase in content being developed by gaming publishers. AT&T, which has the broadest portfolio of Windows Mobile phones of any U.S. carrier, currently offers more than 2,300 on-deck mobile games and is always evaluating innovative and entertaining gaming options to offer its 71 million-plus mobile customers.

"AT&T has a strong commitment to deliver more wireless choices to our customers — in terms of products, services and applications," said Mark Collins, vice president, Consumer Data, for AT&T's wireless unit. "One way we reinforce this commitment and demonstrate that we are open to innovation is by working closely with the developer community so that we can bring visibility to their creativity, while ensuring that our customers have access to the most advanced, compelling and fun products and services — now and in the future."

"We are happy to support this contest and encourage developers to take full advantage of our powerful, flexible platform, providing AT&T customers with new applications that can enhance their mobile experiences," said Scott Horn, general manager of the Mobile Communications Business, Microsoft Corp. "With such a broad portfolio of AT&T devices, Windows Mobile is ripe for developers looking to reach a mass audience with their products."

Don Ryan, senior vice president of I-play Publishing, said: "I-play's integrated support and close collaboration with the mobile games development community has helped fuel innovation and creativity since its inception in 1998, and so we are pleased to participate in such an imaginative relationship. With the recent consolidation of our publishing division, we can bring a new game to market across many popular consumer platforms, including Windows Mobile devices. We look forward to working with the winner and help bring their vision to the gaming public."

AT&T makes it simple for its millions of customers to discover, shop and play games directly from their phones:

- Select Shop Games; you will see a list of categories such as New Arrivals, Top Sellers and a variety of genres that you can browse to find the game you want.
- Select a game, then follow the prompts to purchase, download and install it onto your phone. (Standard data charges apply.)
- Start playing!

Beginning May 1, gaming developers can fill out the online entry form to submit their Windows Mobile compatible game. All game entries submitted during the next three months will be reviewed and judged based on the following criteria: game-play value and quality, game uniqueness and creativity, and marketplace potential. One grand-prize winner will receive a mobile game developer contract with I-play, prime placement of the finished game on the game portal on AT&T MEdia Mall and a cash prize of $25,000. Prizes will also be awarded to three finalists and 10 semifinalists. For complete contest details, contest entry and prize structure, visit http://developer.att.com/gamescontest. The deadline to submit an entry is July 31, 2008. The winner will be announced at CTIA Wireless I.T. & Entertainment 2008 in San Francisco.

Asustek to roll out second-generation Eee PC with touchscreen panels and possibly GPS support in May or June

Asustek's 8.9-inch second-generation Eee PC lineup will include touchscreen panels and possible GPS support, with shipments expected to begin in May or June, according to Kevin Lin, vice president of Asustek's sales department. Pricing is projected to reach NT$15,000 (US$500), Lin added.

The company is also looking to ship its E-DT (desktop PC) priced at US$199 at the same time, according to Lin.

The company aims to ship up to five million Eee PCs in 2008 through retail channels and contract orders combined, with quarterly retail-only shipments expected to total 650,000-700,000 units, according to the company. The device is seeing a 50% supply shortage in the Taiwan and Hong Kong regions and 70% worldwide in the first quarter of 2008.

Lin also pointed out that the company currently is facing a battery shortage for its Eee PCs due to a fire at a plant of LG Chem earlier this month but expects to solve the battery shortage in the second quarter of this year.

The 8.9-inch Eee PC will adopt Intel's low-cost notebook platform and the lowest memory capacity will be upgraded from 512MB to 1GB, while the SSD (solid state drive) capacity will be upgraded from 4-8GB to 8-12GB, according to industry sources.

ipod hack Hidden Features in iPhone

If you turn blind eye to the issues that iPhone owners who have unlocked their iPhone and those who had installed the cool third-party hacks have faced (just for a moment as I understand the disappointment and frustration), it would be fair to say that Apple did quite a good in providing us information on the latest iPhone firmware update if you compare it with the previous two firmware updates since the launch, not only did they provide us details on the new features and shortcuts that were introduced; they also followed it with a video showcasing the new features which incidentally featured the same guy as the original iPhone video tour.

However, there were a few new features that Apple didn’t mention. I can’t do a video like Apple to tell you what they are but have done the next best thing. I have compiled a list the blogosphere of the hidden features courtesy which you might be curious to find out.

Fujitsu’s LifeBook N6460 launches in US

Fujitsu LifeBook N6460

It was but a few weeks ago that we caught Fujitsu’s LifeBook N6460 showing off in Singapore, and now it looks like the beastly machine has made its way stateside for all of us Americans to enjoy. This 17-incher touts an XGA+ panel, Intel’s 2GHz Core 2 Duo T7300 CPU, ATI’s Mobility Radeon HD 2600 graphics set, 2GB of DDR2 RAM, up to 400GB of hard drive space, an optional Blu-ray drive, integrated fingerprint scanner, a remote control, 56k modem, gigabit Ethernet, WiFi, and a plethora of ports including five USB 2.0 connectors, FireWire, a multicard reader, and an ExpressCard opening to boot. Granted, you can certainly opt to customize the aforementioned specifications to fit your budget, but pre-established configurations range from $1,499 to $2,599 and look to be shipping right away.

Is the future in modular computing?

Dell XCS

The Dell XCS Concept - The future?

This week ASUS announced the first dedicated external graphics card, designed to be used with laptops. Interestingly enough the product - dubbed the XG Station - is not likely to cause much excitement in the mobile computer community, as much as it will for desktop fans. Why? The answer is simple enough.

While it may not look like it on the surface, the XG Station seems to be a step towards modular computing, a concept that has been contemplated over the years, but never seen fruition. Modular computing is essentially the idea that the desktop PC as we know it will eventually disappear, to be replaced by something which is not confined to the dimensions of a conventional PC case, but rather something which is designed around the idea that the computer’s separate parts can easily be replaced by other components over a standardised communications system. Of course the modern PC is easily upgradable, but it is still based on dozens of different input systems, from PCIe to 5.5″ ATA to CPU sockets. Rather, modular computing would see a more streamlined way for the different computer parts to communicate with each other, allowing for a better PC.

The XG Station is one step toward this ultimate goal, along with the external power supply, something which is gaining speed in a world where internal video cards are demanding more and more power. The arrival of the external graphics card could also make the external power supply rather redundant, should the XG Station see a desktop counterpart, however the concept of modular computing continues to lie underneath it all. Unfortunately, the idea is decades off at the best, so until then it seems like external graphics cards are the new market to watch out for.
