Here are some specifications for the recently announced HTC Touch Diamond2.  Some improvements need to exist in order to get people to purchase the device.

• A larger screen at 3.2 inches
• A new touch sensitive zoom bar
• An updated TouchFLO 3D
• Improved battery performance
• A 5 megapixel autofocus camera (still no flash)

Will this be enough to get recent HTC Touch Diamond purchasers to switch?

Well it seems like the long awaited Firefox Mobile browser named Fennec will be releasing on the Windows Mobile system soon. Below is an update from the Mozilla Wiki site for the browser:

We are targeting a Milestone release for the first week of February, targeting the HTC touch pro.

We are two patches away from the meta goal of building from trunk. The tools changes have review from dougt, and are waiting for review from ted, who has promised review by the end of the week. NSPR changes are waiting for review from Nelson, who asked for and received a patch against NSPR trunk

It was only a matter of time before it happened and that time is now. MoDaCo has TouchFlo 3D working on the Sony Ericsson XPERIA X1. They were sent the .CAB file for the install. CHeck out the video below.

It’s not available for download yet but it’s only a matter of time now.

All About Symbian have got their hands on the Nokia 5800 XpressMusic (Tube) and have put up a pretty lengthy review. The 5800 is device that has been talked about for a long time, with lots of leaked information, and it has finally come to light.

There review takes a look at the following:

• General Design and Hardware
• Connectivity, Battery, Memory
• Touch
• Sensors

Overall the device looks slick and seems like it will be a hit. How it stands up against the iPhone and the HTC Touch HD though we’ll just have to wait and see. I’m still not fully sold on no keyboard but I would be willing to try this one out.

Head over to All About Symbian to read the full review.

Here’s a pretty interesting video put up by WMPowerUser. It’s a look at some Hologram software that was built for the HTC Touch Pro and the HTC Diamond. Here’s the vid:

Check out the post from WMPowerUser here and head over to XDA-Developers thread to get the software.

So this could be you at an European Airport that you may visit! I was on Yahoo just a minute ago, and seen this article about Airport scanners. Here’s a link to the article:
EU MPs concerned by airport full-body scanners

Apparently, they are now putting in Airport scanner systems that reveal your entire body onto the screen for the operator to see to check for knifes and other objects. Now its not a crisp image, and operators would see hundreds of people a day, but what are you thoughts? In the image above, you can see the knife.

What are your thoughts on this? Invasion of your rights or a good idea for security? Would you feel comfortable?
