DigiTimes has it that HTC has already shipped its first batch of over 10,000 Touch Diamond mobiles to Hong Kong CSL, which has consequently sent our saliva glands into overdrive. The report continues on to say that deliveries to European / Asia-Pacific operators should get going in June, though no further details were mentioned.
HTC Raphael, now called the T-Mobile MDA Vario IV in Europe, will hit streets sometime in Q2 2008. As for specs, we’re looking at 158 grams, 300 minutes of talk time, 480×640 pixel screen, tri-band GSM, a 528MHz processor, 256MB on-board RAM, Bluetooth, WiFi, GPS, FM radio, and a 3.2MP camera.
If you look closely u can see a small key ” CTRL” thats right ctrl key ( its on on the keyboard’s lower left corner) keyboard shortcuts anyone !!!!! Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V hopefully !!!

Now wouldn’t that look good on your PPC , well here is the first step to make that a reality its called Organic Lock, Its not the exact copy of that but its the start of something that might evolve in to a gr8 PPC application.
Screen lock/unlock utility with a sequence/pattern of points on screen for PDA / PPC running on Windows mobile. Screen lock/unlock utility with a sequence/pattern of points on screen for PDA / PPC running on Windows mobileThe app consists of 3 parts (separate programs): the lock part (Organic), the configurator (Technic) and notification register (Register).
The app works as an addition to a standard locker (and possibly any other, that properly sets lock flag in registry). It starts immediately when standard locker unlocks the screen. Then the sequence entering screen is shown, where you need to repeat the configured sequence by taping the moving shapes.
Locker does not consume any resources while screen is locked. It is only activated when unlock is initiated. Device can be automatically locked after soft-reset (configurable).
Current version is in beta stage, so chances are there might be some quirks here and there.
Would be nice if somebody tested it on various devices and reported how it performs.
Push Gmail for Pocket PC / Smartphones
Do you make use of Windows Mobile phone’s ability to do PUSH Email? If not do u rely on ActiveSync or you pop/IMAP Client to to PULL your email every hour. We will be looking @ what the fuss is all about on Email (and contacts/calendar, in some cases) pushed to your phone. Its not as hard as it looks below Promise.
So Push Email , what is it ?
Ordinarily when you receive a mail , lets say for example on gmail it stays on the gmail server. You might have configured the mail client on the PPC to check your gmail mail server for new mail every x minutes. so technically your PPC “PULLS” the mail from gmails server. In PUSH email the gmail server notifies the PPC when ever a new mail comes in and pushes it on to the PPC when ever you get a new email. Its not technically sound what i have written there but that the basic idea, you can always jump on to wikipedia for all the hardcore info.
