msmobiles.com is reporting that Ateksoft has released CoolCamera 1.12.5. Operating as either a camera or camcorder, the new version sports some improvements over the standard camera software.
Supported on a wide variety of HTC devices, the software supports higher frame rates and smoother video. Check out the msmobiles.com site for more details and the download link for the software.
Looks like Cingular will be getting three more Windows Mobile devices this year. The Boy Genius has the post over at Engadget Mobile on the trio of devices: HTC Hermes, HTC StarTrek, and HP iPaq hw6920.
While I’ve posted about the hw6900 series before, the Hermes and StarTrek devices are going to be more interesting. With HSDPA on the Hermes for 400-700kbs data rates, it’ll be quite speedy. The wonderful design of the StarTrek flip phone will appeal to the average and high-end cell phone user.
Can’t wait to see more of these devices spread to other carriers as well – or in the case of the HTC devices, simply look around for the iMate and HTC versions that can work with any GSM carrier. Damn, I love technology. 🙂
So Engadget Mobile is reporting that the HP iPaq hw6915 Windows Mobile based Pocket PC Phone is set to be launched on July 4th, 2006.
So what!?!
The device is way overdue, brings nothing new to the table, and is ridiculously overpriced. It just shows that HP had long ago lost the edge on Pocket PC design.
Priced at $890 (US), this low-resolution thumb cramper is probably going to be an easy pass by most smartphone shoppers this summer. Even with a processor upgrade over previous models and having WM5’s AKU2 incorporated in the device, there are more compelling designs available.
With smartphones like the Moto Q, Samsung’s SGH-i320, or the HTC Wizard based devices like the T-Mobile MDA or Cingular 8125, and their CDMA brother, the XV6700 available on both Sprint and Verizon.
You could compare the 6915 to the Palm Treo 700w in a number of ways, but even as a previous HP PPC owner, I’d throw down on the 700w. Or even the Treo 700p which has a stunning 360×360 screen, though it is a Palm OS device.
Anyway, I think there are many, many better choices than this overpriced device.
It must be the week of upgrades for Windows Mobile devices. Kevin Tofel over at jkOnTheRun has posted on the new firmware, and is pondering upgrading tonight.
If you are looking for links, jkOnTheRun also has them for you. Now I can’t wait for T-Mobile USA to release their ROM upgrade for the MDA – though I already have flashed my device to the Qtek ROM with MSFP (it rocks).
Have fun everyone!
RIMarkable has the scoop on this – it seems that in addition to the Video iPod, and the Sony PSP, the BlackBerry 8700 has been nominated in the “All That Rocks” promotion.
You can watch MTV2 on July 30th for the winners to this deal.
@MAC_Arms Pay taxes when you make your money, pay taxes when you spend your money, pay taxes when you successfully invest your money, pay taxes when you save enough taxed money to afford a house, pay taxes to live in your house, pay taxes when you sell the house that you paid taxes on to
Yup, taxes are criminal and we need serious reforms. I've always said that if you want to see a tax revolt, make withholdings illegal and have Americans write a tax check every payday. They'll revolt for sure. You don't miss what you never had.
I think it’s safe to say that @GovEvers should stop blocking audits in Wisconsin and open the books…
“Only AMERICAN citizens should vote.”
Sen. @berniemoreno says voter ID and proof of citizenship are simply common sense.
“We’re talking about a very low threshold — identify who you are and prove you’re a U.S. citizen when you register to vote. I think we’re getting closer to
Wrong. Democrats are solely responsible for hours-long airport lines.
They voted to defund TSA three times and won’t even entertain a conversation about reopening it. Why?
They’re using it as leverage to stop enforcing immigration laws.
