HTC have been busy and have unveiled a number of new mobiles at the MWC.
Thing is that, in my opinion, none of them look as lovely as the HTC Legend.
The body is carved from a single piece of aluminum – Mmmmm….. unibody….. I hope Apple are watching!
Under that gorgeous hood purrs Android 2.1 wrapped up in HTC Sense.
It’s fitted with a 3.2 inch capacitive AMOLED screen with a res of 320 x 480 pixels.
The Legend sports a 5.0 megapixel snapper that’s paired up with autofocus and flash.
This is all pushed along by a 600 MHz processor and 512MB ROM and 384MB of RAM.
There’s a microSD slot to increase it’s capacity as well as the now expected Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and GPS.
I’m particularly digging this “helicopter view”. Perhaps another inspiration from Apple – think Mac OS X’s exposé.
With Helicopter you get to be able to pinch the screen to view all the five Android homescreens which helps you jump from widget to widget with ease.
Social Networked butterflies will get plenty use out of the new FriendStream. This pulls together all status updates, photos and links from your various social networking sites (Twitter, Facebook and Flickr are the ones supported at the mo), but you can still use the individual widgets and apps if that’s how you roll.
It’s out in Europe late March/early April – go on; admit it. It’s nice
Most performing musicians will know the pain of trailing power to the front of the stage in order to power their effects pedals.
Amps and the like are easy enough catered for but, especially if you have vocal duties as well, pedals are usually positioned by the front stage/monitor/mic area and the latest product released under the Sanyo ‘Eneloop’ brand, the ‘Music Booster’, should help.
It’s a rechargeable DC 9V battery unit specifically designed for music devices.
Sanyo is marketing the product as a long-lasting 9V power source for effects and the likes. These devices are usually powered by an AC adapter or a 9V dry-cell battery, both of which might not be available or likely to run out when you least want it to.
Sanyo claims their lithium-ion eneloop battery (3.7 V, 7.35 Ah) can be used in locations without electricity to power those devices for hours. The maximum output is 2,000mA from the two power outputs.
The standard usage times will obviously depend on what device is being used with the eneloop booster. They can be as high as 50 hours for analog effects or considerably lower for electronic drums.
I still reckon that this can only be a good idea.
It takes 3.5 hours to fully charge the Sanyo battery and it the eneloop music booster will go on sale (in Japan first) on March 4, 2010 for £69 not including Brit Tax.
Cast your gadgety minds back to October and Acer’s announcement of their Liquid A1 Android powered smartphone.

I think you guys know that I’m a fan of Mimobot’s.
Well, last year Mimoco started the Vimobot Design Contest.

This [...]
