Just in time for the holiday season, HTC has released a white version of its Touch Diamond PDA-phone. Identical in every other way to the original black version, this iteration's battery cover and trimmings are dressed in white. It is available from the operators and retailers who are already selling the black version and will cost the same at S$1,098 (US$792.89).

Will Zune do Windows Mobile? Looks likely

Matt Hickey | Dec 17, 2008

There are a ton of rumors flying around right now saying that Microsoft just might introduce a Zune-ified competitor to the iPhone at CES next month. There are also those who call that a ridiculous notion. I happen, to a degree, to agree with both sides.

You won't see it at CES, but a new mobile phone initiative is brewing at Microsoft right now, and the Zune team is involved.

Palm releases its own app store. So what?

In the year since Palm released the Centro as an attempt to revive its lagging business, I've barely heard a whisper about new applications or energy for the Treo and Centro lines. Yet late Monday night, the device maker released its own app store download for Centro and Treo users to more easily access the applications.

The arrival of Palm's free app store--for both Windows Mobile and Palm operating systems--was undoubtedly spurred on by the success of Apple's iPhone App Store, Google's Android Market, and the upcoming BlackBerry app store that's slated to debut in March.

New TouchFLO on the old Touch

John Chan | Dec 16, 2008

You may have read a while back that HTC updated its TouchFLO interface for the original Touch device, making it look and feel similar to the new Touch 3G. We wondered how the new interface will feel on the Touch since it has a slower processor and less RAM--in essence, can this old product really handle the new tricks of TouchFLO? Rather than speculate, we got hold of a sample unit to try it out for ourselves.

When you turn on the device, you notice that it looks exactly the same as the Touch 3G. For details on how we liked the interface, read our detailed review of the Touch 3G. The difference we really wanted to see was the speed, whether the 200MHz TI processor and 128MB of RAM on the Touch can handle the extra goodies afforded by the new TouchFLO.

Palm to preview Nova OS and first device at CES

It's been a while since Palm has caused a stir, but the company certainly has people talking with its planned January 8 CES event. As CNET News reporter Tom Krazit reported last week, it's expected that Palm will preview its new operating system, codenamed Nova, at CES 2009, and the rumors look to be true based on new information from a Business Week article.

According to Peter Burrows at Business Week, Palm will unveil Nova and the first of a family of products in Vegas, but it's not looking to go after the iPhone or BlackBerry. Instead, Palm Executive Chairman Jon Rubenstein said the goal behind Nova is to create a flexible platform that supports a number of customer needs and to create products that bridge the gap between work-oriented BlackBerrys and the fun-oriented iPhone. Before joining Palm, Rubenstein was the senior vice president for hardware engineering at Apple.
