The latest on smartphones (and other gadgets)

I have been using an HTC HD2 on and off for a while now and while Windows Mobile will never be a pleasure to use, and while I still struggle with text input using onscreen keyboard, the large screen and super fast processor is addictive. I am doing this post using the Opera browser on the phone and I am doing it on the full version of my site, no mobile version required. Everything is big and fast on this phone. You need to see the Youtube app – it is something special. If this phone had a slide out QWERTY keyboard it would be the perfect Windows phone. Am trying out SlideIT which lets you drag your finger across the keyboard instead of typing. Supposedly faster than typing. Will see. Along the same lines I heard that Swype will be available free to all Android phones from today.
