Sophia Nani to take on iPhone

The Sophia Nani is Japans answer to the iPhone although I do not personally believe it will get near the same amount of coverage the iPhone did. It has a 4.3 inch screen which runs at 800 x 400 pixels. This is higher then the iPhones resolution. The processor runs at 600MHz and it has wifi, 2 cameras and a digital terrestrial tuner. The device has no internal storage which means that the microSD slot is essential. The software running the device is Windows CE. I am not sure if this could be an iPhone beater, but hopefully the cost of it will bring in a good amount of sales. Thats of course if my assumptions of it being cheaper are correct.

The latest UMPC coming from Korea is the Tango Wings. This UMPC has GPS built in as well as a full keyboard. A webcam is also included and it runs the latest OS from MS named Vista. I have no clue what its called Tango Wings, but do not let the name put you off. This UMPC actually looks quite nice from the picture abobe. It features a 6.5 inch WVGA screen and a 30GB hard disk which is just 1.8 inches in size. Network connectivity is provided by wireless running at 802.11 b/g standards or via a standard RJ45 ethernet port. When running Windows Vista you need to have a decent amount of RAM and the good news is that Tango Wings doesnt lack here either. It has 768MB built in.

For those of you who are regular users of hands free kits in cars you will be familiar with how difficult it sometimes is to hear with traffic noise, road noise and the speaker often in a hidden place in the car which muffles the sound. The Blueant Supertooth Light has technology built in to cancel background noise allowing you to heat the conversation more clearly. The video on youtube also suggests that you can hear this device with the windows down which is interesting to hear. The device it’s self is portable and can hook on to your sun visor allowing close proximity to your mouth for the built in microphone to pick up your voice. As the name suggests, this device is Bluetooth too and allows you to connect directly to your phone.

The device is powered by a lithium-ion battery which allows for 15 hours of talk time and 33 days of standby time which makes this device excellent for portability. To add to that you can charge it with the in car charger which makes it an even more attractive option.

Other features of this device are voice dialling which makes this device more usable while on the road and it can be paired with 5 devices.

The worlds fastest handheld seems to be a bold claim although they could just be right 🙂 DataWinds PocketSurfer 2 needs 7 – 9 seconds to fully load a web page. It features a QWERTY keyboard and a wide screen display. To access the screen and keyboard you flip the device open in what looks to be a similar way to the old PSION series 3a. The device uses windows internet explorer but does not use the windows mobile OS. Using the server version of IE it allows for a full web browser experience which is a great way forwards. Over all it looks like a very sleek phone which if the specs match is a nice step forwards in the mobile market.

UberGizmo were lucky enough to get their hands on a Pharos GPS 600 for review. The phone features a 2.8 inch display, has a matte aluminium finish and is powered by Windows Mobile 5. As the title of the phone suggests, GPS is built in in the way of a SiRFStarIII chip and the Pharos software called Ostia utilizes this very well. Integrated GPS is finding it’s way on to a few phones these days and it is very welcome as having this in your phone means that it’s less to carry and more functionality in your pocket. Connectivity is not lacking either and GPRS/EDGE, Bluetooth and Wifi are all built in providing some very nice access to the internet from any location. Unfortunatly this is not a 3G phone though. With a nice array of features this mobile/gps device is well worth checking out when it arrives in the shops next month. For the full review, check out UberGizmo.

HP have launched an iPAQ which is based around the Windows Mobile 5.0 OS but as the picture shows below, it seems that they are wanting to promote the music and video capabilities of this device. I have always liked the Windows PPC platform to work with and I find they are very functional.

What sets the iPAQ aside from from your average HP iPAQ is that this device has more built in media type applications. It has been designed with the consumer in mind. The screen can rotate the image so that it can be worked with in either portrait or landscape mode. We expect this device to hit the markets at around $299.
