The Galaxy Player 50 is an Android-based MP3 player that features a 3.2in touchscreen and comes in 8GB and 16GB capacities — support for microSD lets you expand this by up to 32GB. As well as downloading apps, you can take photos on its 2Mp camera or surf the web using the integrated Chrome Lite browser (with support for Flash).

Samsung described the portable player as an extension to its popular Galaxy family, which includes the Galaxy S and Samsung-developed Nexus S smartphone.

The company’s first  touchscreen/keyboard handset, the RESEARCH in MOTION’S BlackBerry Torch 9800, sports the new BlackBerry 6 OS.

A little thicker than some other top phones out now, the Torch measures 4.4 by 2.4 by 0.6 inches and weighs a manageable 5.68 ounces.

The 3.2inch, 360by480 capacitive touchscreen is fine for browsing the Web, but the colors, text, and detail look slightly flat.

The hardware keyboard slides smoothly and easily.  The Torch also has a software keyboard, but in both portrait and landscape modes it feels cramped. Test shows that the Web browser is slow to load, especially at mediaheavy sites. The handset’s 624mHz processor just can’t seem to handle the new WebKitbased browser technology.

The Torch’s 5 megapixel camera has autofocus, a 2X zoom, and an LED flash and the image quality was better from older BlackBerrys.

Google’s smartphone is remarkably similar to the HTC Desire, which is no coincidence as both phones are made by HTC. They share the same basic specification, though, the Nexus One has a different design and uses the basic Android operating system, without HTC’s Sense interface.

That’s not to diminish Android’s built-in software: there’s support in version 2.1 for multiple Gmail and Microsoft Exchange accounts, and all the basic apps are there for email, contacts, calendar and messaging. Google Maps Navigation provides free turn-by-turn navigation in a clear interface.
Like the Desire, the Nexus One’s screen is gorgeous, although not quite as bright and colourful as Samsung’s AMOLED screens. Read the rest of this entry »

Acer’s beTouch E400 is a slim and elegant Android phone with a 3.2in touchscreen. It has touch-sensitive buttons below the screen, which makes the fascia a flat, glossy surface.
It comes with Android 2.1 and Acer has added a few tweaks and apps of its own. The most useful of these is a copy of Documents To Co, which lets you view Word, PowerPoint and Excel documents.
There’s also a copy of Twidroid, a well-known Twitter client, a music streaming app called Spinlets, and the NemoPlayer media player. The latter will address the concerns of those who find Android’s built-in media player too basic, while Spinlets is more of a music discovery app, letting you sample music.

Acer introduces us its new  neoTouch P400  Windows Mobile. Here we have Windows Mobile 6.5. It is convenient to edit Office documents with the new neoTouch P400  but, in fact, the application offering lacks sexiness. Inside the neoTouch P400 there is a Qualcomm 7227 processor, 512MB of ROM, 512MB of RAM.

The 115mm x 59.3mm x 12mm (4.5in x 2.3in x .47in) P400 has a 3.2-inch HVGA touch screen display, 3G and 802.11b/g WiFi support, a 3.2 megapixel camera, and features sync support for automatic wireless and web-based synchronization with your notebook or netbook. The device also features  GPS support, an accelerometer, and support for Bluetooth 2.1+EDR and supports a battery life of 5 hours.

Both Acer neoTouch P300 and neoTouch P400 run on Windows Mobile 6.5.3, with the former having a 3.2-inch WQVGA touchscreen and slide-out QWERTY keyboard, while the Acer beTouch E110 and E400 run Android (1.5 Cupcake and 2.1 Eclair respectively) with the E110 having a 2.8-inch QVGA touchscreen and the E400 having a 3.2-inch HVGA touchscreen.

Across the board there’s 3G and Bluetooth, while on the E110 lacks WiFi b/g.  No vast processor speeds here, though; at most you’ll get 600MHz.  All have a 3.2-megapixel camera together with GPS and a 3.5mm headphone jack.

Acer expect the neoTouch P300 and beTouch E110 to arrive in March 2010, with the beTouch E400 following on in April and the neoTouch P400 dropping in May 2010.
