HTC's Site Confirms the Mondrian and the Mozart, Two WinPho 7 Handsets

Labels: , , , ,

Apparently, HTC has two Windows Phone 7 handsets in the pipe and one of them is the HTC Mondrian. This smartphone is supposedly going to hit the market with a WVGA touchscreen display along with a 1.3GHz Snapdragon CPU. Another handset that HTC has up their sleeve is reportedly codenamed the Mozart. Both of these codenames have been spotted in HTC's filing and the Mozart should also feature a WVGA display. We should be expecting both phones before the end of this year.

iPod Touch Getting Refreshed This September, 5MP Camera and FaceTime Support? -- Possible Face Photos

Labels: , , , ,

There's a big rumour going around that Apple will be updating their iPod line-up and possibly the biggest update of them all will go to the iPod Touch - of course. To catch up to the iPhone 4, Apple's PMP is rumoured to be getting a 5MP camera on the back (presumably the same as the iPhone 4) with an LED flash, a gyroscope, direct YouTube video uploads, and a front-facing webcam for FaceTime. I'm going to assume that they're going to put their own A4 chip inside as well for the slight speed boost. Of course, this PMP should be running iOS 4.0 as well. As usual, you can expect the iPod refresh to come this September!

Update: According to 9 to 5 Mac, the two pictures below could be the face of the new iPod Touch coming in September of this year. Since there'll be no earpiece in the top, the front-facing camera looks like it could actually be in the center of the PMP, keeping the symmetry of the device.

Europe-Bound HTC Ace To Be the GSM DROID Incredible Or the 3G-Only EVO?

Labels: , , , , , ,

Okay, so yesterday morning we heard about the HTC Ace which will be hitting Europe in the future, but exactly what is it? No one knows for sure right now, but it'll be running on the Android OS. Pocket-Lint is leaning towards the HTC Ace being a GSM Droid Incredible (pictured above), while everyone else including Electronista is saying that it's a GSM version of the EVO 4G (without the 4G capabilities). This 3G-only smartphone will be hitting T-Mobile and apparently features specs similar to the HD2 with Android (the EVO 4G). I won't make any guesses so let's just wait for the official word.
