After the long wait we finally know for sure that the rumored HTC Touch Diamond is on its way. The device has some pretty nice interface tech that they’re calling TouchFLO 3D that heavily emphasizes one-touch browsing and single-finger dialing. They emphasized web accessibility, zoom-in navigation with “just one hand” and not too many fingers. As expected, the device is loaded with Windows Mobile 6.1, a VGA screen and HSDPA 7.2, among other nice specs.
We know HTC’s got a big announcement comming up on 06/05/2008 , every one has their fingers crossed that it will be for the new HTC models Diamond , TyTN III, etc. Here is a preview of some leaked info about the Touch Diamond.

A couple of weeks ago I got a new phone, it’s an HTC Vogue (branded as OKTA Touch here in New Zealand).
It is a nice piece of hardware (MSM7500) but I’m not very impressed by the OS (Windows Mobile).
I thought I would make a start at getting Linux up and running on it.
Luckily the hardware is very similar to that used by the Google android project. There are some differences, the VIC is completely different and the phone software (AMSS) is a much older version so that won’t be working soon. It seemed to hang when I turned off the MMU so I rewrote the bootloader (haret) to set up some identity pages and boot with MMU on.
It turns out that it didnt really hang, the peripheral port memory remap register just doesn’t work on this system so you can’t do any i/o with the MMU off. I figured out how the frame buffer works, wrote some debugging code to see what happens during boot and some new VIC code.
Now to get the SD card working, port this stuff to 2.6.24, get android running with the old AMSS and we’re away.
Update: all ported to 2.6.24 and android boots (no input and phone not working so not much use yet).
Update: buttons should work, Volume up/down are the return and menu keys.
Update(9/4/08): Touchscreen works, it’s not perfect and can’t be calibrated but is usable.
currently the buttons are not working, but the touchscreen is functional.
also check out the brave souls @ xda-dev trying this on their Vogue, Touch, Kaiser etc
Finally we have a Mobile/PDA version of the site. The site check the user agent of the browser and automatically switches to the pda/desktop version. Here are some screens

Yahoo on Wed Apr 2 unveiled enhanced oneSearch software that lets people surf the Internet by speaking into their mobile telephones.
Along with letting people make online queries by saying what they are looking for, the application features an “assistant” for written searches that deduces what people want from the first few letters typed. “With Yahoo oneSearch 2.0, we are fundamentally changing the way consumers use the Internet on their mobile phones,” said Yahoo’s Connected Life division vice president Marco Boerries. Yahoo has partnered with 29 mobile telephone service carriers, representing 600 million customers, since the first version of oneSearch launched in early 2007, according to Boerries. The second-generation oneSearch software is free for download and installation to mobile telephones linked to the Internet.
Yahoo voice oneSearch is only available for BlackBerry @ the moment
