Tuesday, May 6th, HTC invited London at 11:30AM (if you are in the neighborhood) to “witness the next wave of HTC Innovation”. I wonder what they are preparing to release as in the mean time we have found this leaked photos and following specs which might match an all new Touch Diamond smart phone:

  • 2.8-inch VGA display,
  • WinMo 6.1 Pro,
  • WiFi,
  • Bluetooth 2.0
  • eGPS,
  • FM tuner
  • Quad-band HSDPA 7.2
  • 4GB internal flash,
  • microSD slot,
  • 528MHz CPU,
  • 3.2 megapixel camera with autofocus,
  • 10.7mm thick,
  • (rumored) an orientation sensor / accelerometer

iPhone Firmware 2.0 to Recognize Handwriting

It appears that Apple is thinking ahead following complaints on iPhone’s touch keyboard usability. Is this just another rumor? According to this screenshot taken by a Chinese site it could be true. When is English/Any Language coming?

I have one a question though, or actually more than one. How are we to write? Which finger can be best used for such a writing endeavor? Is there a stylus coming to iPhone? Where is it going to fit? Is this a picture a fake after all? Will Apple release an official story? Is this new “technology” going to be based on Inkwell, the handwriting tool in Mac OS X?

Fujitsu LifeBook U810 and Fujitsu T2010 Tablet PC have been revealed since January at CES 2008. What we didn’t know yet were their prices. The two tablet PCs have both the built in HSDPA modem for better, faster connectivity. 3G access will be provided, and there’s no surprise here, by AT&T with download speeds from 600 to 1400kbps and upload speeds from 500 to 800 kbps. But let’s look at the prices! The U810 model has an 800Mhz processor topped by 1GB of DDR2 RAM. It has both Bluetooth and WiFi connectivity options, an USB port, VGA out and Ethernet slots. The U810 runs either Windows Vista or XP and has a 5.6 inch touch screen LCD and a 40 GB hard drive. Battery life is up to 5.5 hours which is a good thing to keep in mind. If you choose this one you will have to pay $999 for it and add an extra $200 for the HSDPA modem. The T2010 has a 12.1 inch WXGA indoor/outdoor LED. The processor is an Intel Core 2 Duo 7600 with ultra low voltage. Battery life is said to be up to 11 hours which is remarkable. I would choose this tablet PC (with a Windows XP) if I needed one badly. This model’s price starts at $1,499 but then you add the extra $200 for the modem. Remember the ModBook? How would you like a Fujitsu real tablet PC instead?
