SmartVista Home Screen Replacement From JGUI

Posted by Mike Temporale in "SOFTWARE" @ 06:45 PM

http://www.jgui.net/black/smartvista/index.html

"Do you want nicer look and feel on your mobile smartphone? More useful and easier for all your daily needs? See on this program. It displays all information in one conveniently screen. It simulates rich Windows VistaTM interface in a small screen of mobile device, includes Sidebar. This program was designed for Microsoft Smartphone devices with landscape screens, basically. There is no reason at all, to not use it in other mobile devices with Windows Mobile system. Specially, because it doesn't use touch-sensitivity screen for daily operating, but hardware keys only."

Here's a pretty interesting new home screen interface for your Smartphone. It's loaded with features including things like call display - on the home screen, RSS, Time, Weather, Calendar, SMS and so much more. Best of all, it's free with the option to buy if you want some of the extra features. I'll be downloading this as soon as they have a stable BlackJack version. 8)

HTC Working on Excalibur Replacement - Cavalier Due in Early 2007

Posted by Mike Temporale in "HARDWARE" @ 07:30 AM

HTC has an update to the popular Excalibur in the works, and it's set for an early release in 2007 - and by early I'm talking about end of January. This new Smartphone is codenamed "Cavalier" and has some very impressive specifications. As a matter of reference, you can consider the update to be the same kind of update Samsung did from the i320 to the newly released i607. The Cavalier will be the first HTC Smartphone to sport something other than the typical 200MHz CPU. Instead, HTC has loaded it up with a 400MHz Samsung CPU! Can you say fast? If that wasn't reason enough to be excited, then I'm sure the Quad-Band (GSM/GPRS/EDGE) with UMTS (2100/850/1900), HSDPA and WiFi 802.11b/g will get your attention. No? Ok, how about 128MB ROM, 64MB RAM, Bluetooth 2.0, 2.4 inch 320x240 screen, 2 mega-pixel camera, and a 1050mAh battery all packed into a package that's just a little larger than the Excalibur. We don't have a picture of the device, but from what we've been told it's very much the same as the Excalibur. You can be sure that when we get a picture we'll be posting it for everyone to check out. So, does this news change anyone's mind about buying that newly released Samsung i607 or the still fresh Dash?
