Meet The New HTC Touch Cruise

by

It’s hard to deny the Sexy New HTC Touch Cruise. Smaller than the original Touch Cruise, the new Touch Cruise is the first to sport a new application by HTC called Footprints. Footprints basically geo-tags your photos and also allows you to add a note or audio clip to the photo. HTC also thinks so much about Footprints that they added it to the TouchFlo 2D interface. Regarding Footprints and the new Touch Cruise, Peter Chou, President and CEO, HTC Corporation, said:

“Just as we have seen GPS technology transform how people navigate to new places, we are now seeing location-based applications like HTC Footprints changing how we interact and carry our memories,”

Other than the lack of the cool VGA screen and TouchFlo 3D, the Touch Cruise comes nicely equipped with the following:

    Mobility Digest Review: A look-see at Weather 2.0 by SPB

    by

    Had to rhyme… couldn’t help it… 🙂

    So here we go.  Time to take a look at SPB Weather 2.0.1.
    I installed it to my Device, which in this case was the AT&T Fuze, like I do just about everything, and it installed without a hitch.  I even installed it with TF3D enabled, and it didn’t break like I thought it POSSIBLY might.  I half expected it to disable TF3D and enable itself, but it didn’t, and that’s nice…

    As you can see, I added a few things to my Today screen just so you could see how it looks with SPB Weather mixed in, and if you’re a Today fan, you’d like it.  The interface is FAST and kind-of fat finger friendly.  The weather icons are big and easy to click on, but I found myself clicking on the messages line instead of the next city/location over.

    Keep reading after the break for more on my review of Spb Weather 2.0

    Qualcomm Acquires AMD’s Handheld Technology Assets

    by

    To say I have not been active in writing about the Qualcomm Driver debacle is quite the understatement. (don’t believe me? CLICK HERE) After the Kaiser Driver issue that was beautifully illuminated by the efforts of HTCClassAction.org, there was a distaste by many of the hard core WinMo users that I don’t think ever truly went away. With the release of the Diamond, Touch Pro (Fuze), and most notably the HTC Touch HD (drool), a lot of criticism has seemed to ease with Qualcomm and HTC. Yesterday however, we learned that Qualcomm has acquired “certain” AMD Graphics and Multimedia Handheld Technology Assets.

    I think this is a very smart move by Qualcomm as QVGA seems to be a thing of the past in favor of larger, VGA and WVGA screens that are geared more towards the growing interest in the online multimedia experience. From Qualcomm’s press release:

    Under the terms of the agreement, Qualcomm has extended offers of employment to various design and development teams from AMD’s handheld business. The teams are developing technologies to enhance mobile devices in areas including 2D and 3D graphics, audio/video, display, and architecture.

    This is definitely great news for Mobility as not only will we likely see better video quality, but also the speed and performance that were missing from the Kaiser with the 2D Drivers. With other company’s like Nvidia that are attempting to gain market share in the Handheld Mobility Market, this may be exactly what Qualcomm needs to gain favor with the hard core multimedia consumers.
