More info and pictures of the HTC Incredible have popped-up today. According to some poster at the Androidforums, the Android 2.1 device packs a SnapDragon chipset under-clocked at 768Mhz (like the Acer Liquid), 512MB of Ram (+ a 8Gb [...]

Motorola MOTOSPLIT render ?

Qualcomm working on ARMv7 support for Windows Mobile 7

Here’s a nice piece of info found by WMPoweruser regarding ARMv7 CPU (Cortex-A8) support in Microsoft’s upcoming Windows Mobile 7 OS. As I’ve previsouly told you in my HTC HD2 review, the current version of Windows Mobile (6.X) is still based on the WinCE 5.2 kernell which doesn’t fully take advantage of the ARMv6 (found [...]

Can we expect better video decoding support in Windows Mobile 6.5?

As I’ve mentioned several times already the HTC HD2 running Windows Mobile 6.5 is currently unable to natively playback 720p videos even-thought the SnapDragon chipset supports it and the recently released Acer Liquid Android smartphone can do it (same for the future HTC Bravo / Passion). So far it seems like this is a Windows [...]

HTC Bravo / Passion Divx support to be enabled by Nextreaming Player ?

You probably already know by now that the HTC Bravo / Passion (or Nexus One, whatever you want to call it) is rumored to natively support DivX decoding unlike any other HTC device. Well here’s my speculation; my guess is that this will probably enabled by the Nextreaming NexPlayer for Android (licensed by HTC?) which [...]

HTC HD2 Review: The best smartphone ever?

Intro

For many years Windows Mobile users have been disappointed every time a new handset was announced because this or that feature was missing. Not long ago it was screen resolutions, people wanted VGA screens, before that it was Wi-Fi or GPS, 3D acceleration or camera flashes etc. This year HTC finally announced what everybody’s been [...]

We should start seeing the first user reviews soon I guess. It’s kinda strange that the device is availalbe [...]

Will HTC enable 720P video encoding & DivX decoding on the HTC HD2?

As you may probably already know by now, nearly all of HTC 2010 smartphone line-up leaked yesterday. The most interesting part to me was the fact that the HTC Bravo (Passion / Dragon) has basically the same specs (it has a smaller screen and less RAM) as the HD2 but supports 720P video encoding, Dolby [...]
