December 16, 2009 By Remo Knops 1 Comment

Yesterday I received some interesting news about HTC, which for a change isn't about one of their latest devices, like the sponsorship announcement of Team Columbia-HTC just before the start of the Tour de France 2009 earlier this year. However HTC now teams-up with Wallpaper* and sponsors the Wallpaper* design awards 2010, as you can read on the Wallpaper* website. An intersting move since Wallpaper* isn't about mobile technology, but about design interiors fashion art and lifestyle as you … [Read more...]

August 26, 2008 By Remo Knops Leave a Comment

Early this morning HTC announced their newest Windows Mobile standard device. The naming, HTC S740, seems to tell it's the further development of the HTC S730. Design wise, there are also huge visible influences of the HTC Touch Diamond. But let's have a closer look. The most striking difference is the numeric keypad on the front of the device. If the device is slide-ed open, a 4-row full QWERTY keyboard shows its face. With this approach the text input is very versatile and flexible … [Read more...]

May 26, 2008 By Remo Knops Leave a Comment

HTC has officially released a Windows Mobile 6.1 upgrade for the HTC TyTN II, as listed in the Microsoft Windows Mobile 6.1 press release on 1st April 2008. [ref05] But the upgrade doesn't consist only of the Windows Mobile 6.1 upgrade, but should also address some video- and other performance problems. [ref08] It's clever of HTC to combine these facts and bundle them in one upgrade, so end-users or large companies don't have to roll out twice an upgrade.
