LG eXpo not “Discontinued” just yet

image

There have been some rumors making its way around the web saying the LG eXpo has been discontinued. I had a talk with a rep and can therefore clarify the situation. The rumor says since the eXpo has not been available for some time now one, it must therefore be discontinued. That rumor jumps the gun before thinking about why this could be happening.

MyTunes gives your device something to listen to

imageimage

The Windows Mobile world, for ages has experienced an acute shortage of eye candy, best excemplified by by the media player , but an XDA member has ventured into the app making world to bring us the above application. The software is called MyTunes and unlike WM media player, it looks mildly attractive while keeping most of the essential functions. The application is currently in test phase and while not as great at HTC’s media player, it has some great potential and as it evolves I am sure we will see more improvements.

If you are like me, you do not appreciate the classic look of the Windows Mobile SMS page, well this might give you a little more appreciation for it. The new design changes the skin, background and that is about it but here is what the developer had to say:

Omnia II apps continued

The Omnia II is just about the most into it, app filled device I have ever used that had the pleasure to run Windows Mobile. The list of preinstalled apps are never ending and I just enjoy going through them and discovering something I have not used before. The video is just showing some of the good apps(they are all good) like the voice command, which is surprisingly good, even though my voice is hard to understand, and it takes no setting up at all. The other app that was talked about is the video editor that I love to use, it takes both your images, videos and song and puts everything together in the way you would like, and then make it into a MP4 format video with little memory used.

Pocket Divx brings Omnia2 features to all WM phones

One of the most attractive features of the Samsung Omnia 2 is its Divx support. Fortunately for the rest of us who do not own one, there is software available that support Divx playback on other devices.

Windows Mobile has had Pocket Divx for some time now, but it just received an update today.

Sadly it does not include a change log, but I have noted the following additions:

HTC TouchPro2 becomes A CarCam

The TP2 has been known to do many things(except scratch my &%$ from space) but the guys over at WME found another thing you can use it for. Apparently while driving home, one of the editors took his TP2 and his new Ebay bought car kit and used it to record him self driving through a blizzard—which is nothing compared to what I am going through over here in MN with 8ichs of snow at times. Watch the video and maybe the quality will persuade you to head over to eBay and get your own kit.

OpenMobileMaps offers you free GPS

image In the days of expensive GPS systems like Tom-tom and Garmin, and Google Navigation that is limited to Android, a new service brings you free maps. The new application is called OpenMobileMaps and it was just released today. The application allows you to download all the maps you need for your phone and then use it to get around town. The application does allow you to store not only in your phones memory, but your SD card. The app is 100% free and is something to think about till Google Nav is available for us.

Droid VS Touchpro2(non Video)

Hi everyone, I know you guys have been waiting for this, so I said Ill upload the Video later and just give you what I would say now. Here you go

Hey everyone its wen here from WMPoweruser.com, and I have with me the king of android phones the Droid, and the King of the speaker phone and all around best keyboard the Touchpro2. Today will be the battle of the kings…. We will go 5 rounds and round it out to the nearest number, lets get started.

Connectivity

The Droid is running with VZW, America premier 3G service provider, with a large coverage area and a really fast connection.

The Touchpro2 is running on T-mobile currently, but you can get it with all 4 major carriers and some other less important carriers.

The Touchpro2 has a long list of connectivity features for example Wi-fi, GPS, Bluetooth and all the basics, but with TV out which even thought your seeing it more often now is still not on every devices, including the Droid.

The Droid has everything from 3G to Wi-Fi, GPS and all the usual Smartphone stuff…..

When on my home network I notice the Droid’s Wifi connection is slightly faster than the Touchpro’s and also stronger at that. The Touchpro does have a steadier stream and the Droid has to offer.

After all that I would say the Touchpro2 gets a 4.5 and the Droid gets a 4.0

Next round

Customization

Like all android phones the Droid comes with the app store, which has anything you would need, but when you think about it, how many different looks can it really have?

The Touchpro2 Running Windows Mobile on the other hand is build on customizations, if you don’t like something, there is no reason to live with it; Microsoft made it a 3 step process on changing your homescreen, download, install, select. That cannot be said on the Droid, because I cannot find any customizations available to it in the app store, maybe themes and background and slight UI changes, but not anything major like the touchpro2 has.

For this I would have to say the Touchpro gets a 5 and the Droid a 3.5

Now let’s look at

Style

This is where the Droid takes the upper hand. The droid is running Android, which is a way more modern OS, very new and extremely sexy and the phone itself is beautiful. The Touchpro2 has a lot of potential, but Windows Mobile is still holding it back, with its old style Windows 95 look and its chunky buttons, it does not impress. The look of the touchpro2 is not bad, but it is still a little chunky and wide, but that is thanks to its beautiful 3.6inch screen… with 65K colors, it looks gorgeous and just stunning when you compare it to the older model HTC devices.

The Droid has a newer thinner, manlier design with a extremely sensitive touchscreen which is only comparable to the Iphone, because it is also 3.5inches.

This one I will have to give to the Droid because it just has a more modern look and is slimmer, better looking. The Touchpro comes in at 3.5 and the Droid a solid 5.

User Interface

This is another place where the Droid takes charge. The UI which is basic Android has a newer look, a easier UI and a smoother app transition. The Touchpro2 has a better more usable Homescreen, everything is on the main screen so you do not need to open any apps to get your details, but you do get this sexy looking drop down notification bar that give you all your info at once. The weather, twitter and everything is on your homescreen, so when you think about it the Touchpro2 has a better User Interface, but it can never be as smooth as the Droid at running apps or even going through the menu. The Touchpro2 gets a 4 and the Droid gets a 4 also because of the lack of information on your homescreen.

Business features

A phone with a large keyboard is usually aimed like a missile at the business user. The TouchPro 2 excels here, with excellent business features such as deep Exchange integration, built-in document editors, excellent call handling functions and of course the landmark feature, the speakerphone. The Touch Pro 2 has an excellent keyboard which makes tapping out those e-mails easy as pie, while the Droid suffers from shallow travel and little differentiation between keys.

The Droid has some degree of Exchange integration, but is of course far from fully featured. While the speakerphone is loud, it lacks the TP2’s noise cancellation technology. The Droid features document viewers, but no editors, and the viewer can not show images.

TouchPro2 – 5/5, Droid 3/5

After all this the Touchpro2 comes out the Champ with a very close battle but the Droid has some things to fix before it can play with the Touchpro2. The final score is, Touchpro2, …. That was a very close battle but it seems the TouchPro2 came out the champ.

A little something extra:

Can you read your word documents while on the go?
Can you simultaneously change your UI?
Can you flip your phone over and have it turn to a business call?
Can your phone connect to your TV?
If you don’t like something can you change it without any problems?
If you dont like your ROM, can you flash in a 2 step process then restore all of your files back in less than 5 mine?

No Droid doesn’t, but Touchpro2 does.

That’s all for now, keep looking forward for my full out video comparison.

By request: Battery life on this device is excellent, It goes all day even thought its always on 3G and wifi, It gave me at least a good 9 hours, but the screen is the main power killer. The batter recharges really fast, not anything more than 2hours, way less.

Multi-Touch Visits Adobe Air

multitouch-lines-two-cells1Multi-Touch is becoming more and more popular, which is why Adobe added support for it in the new Air2. 

They recently announced a new version of Adobe Air, that is said to support multi touch for phones like the HD2 that have Multi-Touch capabilities enabled. This new development gives better support for activities, processes, networking, Javascript and performance. This is more of a competitive release to go against Microsoft’s own Silverlight that I might add should be part of Windows Mobile 7.0.

Releases should start soon, but only date is set so far is for Palm Pre.

Go to Pcworld for more on this.
