Now Derek Williamson is a boss of Samsung Mobile UK that is partt of Samsung UK, that is managed by Mark Mitchinson. Fortunately (for Windows Mobile) Samsung UK is spending 4 to 5 million pounds (exact figures differ depending on the source) just on the marketing of Samsung Omnia! Here is one of the ads of Samsung Omnia that appear nowadays in UK: Resco Bubbles for HTC Touch Diamond and compatible released September 05, 2008; [with touch-screen] Even though HTC has not released officially SDK for their phones with tilt-sensor, developers have reverse-engineered it and were developing various apps that use this sensor. Here however comes first non-free (i.e. commercial) application using this sensor: CalliGrapher 8.7 for Windows Mobile released September 05, 2008; [with touch-screen] If handwriting recognition in Windows Mobile, which already is not bad, is not good enough for you, then get yourself recently upgraded CalliGrapher, that uses fuzzy logic! USA gets American HTC Touch Diamond at last September 04, 2008; [with touch-screen] For a long time Americans were forced to buy HTC Touch Diamond imported from Asia or Europe - the one without American 3G bands, but it seems the wait is over and nearby retailer across the street will soon have American version of HTC Touch Diamond on sale: Sony Ericsson releases SDK for panels of Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 phone September 04, 2008; [with touch-screen] X1 is not cancelled after all, if they even release SDK (software development kit) that facilitates making applications on top of Windows Mobile 6.1 and complying to X1's panels:
Until recently it was unthinkable that Sony Ericsson will be releasing Windows Mobile phone, but now it is even releasing "Sony Ericsson SDK for Windows Mobile 6.1"! Amazing!

Palm Treo Pro launch event in London took place yesterday September 03, 2008; [with touch-screen] Unforunately staff of Palm appeared to be completely incompetent: they did not understand the question about using the phone in logical drive mode as mass storage (like USB memory stick) and they claimed that 2 megapixel camera without autofocus is good enough these times, now when even cheap regular phones have 3 megapixel with autofocus: Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 not delayed after all September 02, 2008; [with touch-screen] How can something, that has no official exact release date be "delayed" or "not delayed"? Anyway Merran Wrigley, who is spokeswoman of Sony Ericsson said: Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 will be the last Windws Mobile phone from Sony Ericsson ! August 28, 2008; [with touch-screen] The first and the last at the same time. But how it is possible? Orange UK claims exclusivity on Samsung Omnia, Vodafone disagrees August 28, 2008; [with touch-screen] Samsung i900 Omnia is a breathtaking phone - 5 megapixel camera with smile detection, 8 or 16 GB internal memory, TouchWiz, huge display, GPS, tilt sensor, fluid screen rotation in all applications and touch-pad with cursor, are only few of its many features...

After Europe, HTC Touch Pro comes also to Asia. USA still waiting ... August 26, 2008; [with touch-screen] No wonder HTC is not releasing yet latest phones in USA: USA has exotic 3G bands and small market sized compared to Europe+Asia combined... News from Singapore: Stylus Control for HTC Touch Diamond released August 24, 2008; [with touch-screen] One of the nicest features of HTC Touch Diamond is that when you pull out the stylus, then display is switched on and device is unlocked (if it was locked).
