GSMArena got hold of the HTC Touch Diamond and the Samsung Omnia mobile phones and compares them to see if one can actually out match the other.

So, firstly let’s take the Omnia over the Diamond: The Samsung Omnia has a better, more solid build and finish, almost double battery life, Better CPU performance, a bigger, though lower-res display (3.2″, 240 x 400 pixels), Quad-band GSM support, 8 or 16 GB of storage memory, microSD card slot, a much better 5 megapixel camera (better processing, higher resolution, face and smile detection, geo-tagging), landscape QWERTY keyboard, auto screen rotation is available in all applications and can be switched off, comes with DivX video support, TV-out, and has pre-installed a custom Alarms app, a Video editor and a unit converter.

Now the reverse, the Diamond over the Omnia: The HTC Touch Diamond has VGA display (2.8-inch, 480 x 640 pixels), TouchFLO 3D Home screen, a more compact body, a nicer design with a lighter weight, Touch-sensitive scroll wheel, better sunlight legibility, Active magnetic stylus, Dedicated graphics chip with 64MB memory, a standard miniUSB slot, pre-installed YouTube client and MP3 Trimmer application for ringtones, better video playback performance, and comes with the amusing Teeter game.

The HTC Touch Diamond and the Samsung Omnia differ slightly but both are top-of-the-range mobile handsets. The Samsung Omnia is still a beta version while the HTC Touch Diamond is a retail version, but apparently dozens of bugs have been reported on the Diamond recently.

The Motorola ZN200 is a mid-range mobile handset with a slide design with a standard package consisting of a 2 megapixel camera, 30MB in-built memory, FM radio, memory is expandable via a miscoSD card which a 1GB card is supplied in the box, and brings the user loud and clear audio via CrystalTalk technology. The Motorola ZN200 mobile phone will be available exclusively in Brazin during September for $310.00, in white, pink or black. Asia, Europe and the USA will see the Motorola ZN200 at a later date.

Next is the Motorola W231, an entry level candy-bar configuration that centres round music orientation. The Motorola W231 mobile phone has an MP3 player hardware dedicated key on its front panel, stereo FM radio, FM transmitter, although no word on whether the W231 has a 3.5mm headphones jack. Unfortunately there is no information on pricing or availability at this time.

Other Motorola mobile handsets such as the MotoRazr V9 Special Edition, the Motorola Z10 and Motorola ZN5, the Motorola W396 and the Motorola W180 will also be released in Brazil. Finally, the US FCC website reveals there is also an as yet unnamed Motorola mobile handset that is 3G with built-in GPS receiver.

Steve Jobs has said the best keyboard Apple ever made is the MacBook Air’s keyboard, and you know he’ cares about the detail. So why not have that kind of keyboard on your iPhone handset?

Obviously having a MacBook Air keyboard on your iPhone you won’t get the feel but the visual makes it all worth it. Katak has now made this happen allowing the iPhone user to replace their old default iPhone keyboard with an application that offers up a slicker, nicer, smoother MacBook Air style keyboard.

For you to take advantage of this new sleek and stylish MacBook style virtual keyboard application and install it on your Apple iPhone you will require a jail-broken iPhone, and firstly uninstall any other customised virtual keyboard you may already have installed.

The MacBook Air Keyboard application is available now from Installer.app through the Planet-iPhone source, which is part of Community Sources now. So hurry along and grab this great keyboard application and jazz up your iPhone to look like a MacBook Air. Who needs the tired worn out, rather boring old iPhone keyboard when you can easily have a newer stylish sexy looking one?

Video", url: "http://www.zvll.com/2008/07/04/flash-lite-successfully-ported-to-the-apple-iphone-video/" });]]> Flash Lite for the Apple iPhone? Apparently Thomas Joos has successfully managed to place Flash Lite onto the Apple iPhone. This means there is a strong possibility that the real deal with Flash support could happen in the future, although whether it will be officially approved by Apple or a jailbrake based Flash solution remains to be seen.

So Joos porting this pared down Adobe Flash client to the Apple iPhone as a native app makes it possible for the iPhone user to interact with Flash based webpages. So what was the motivation for Joos to work on bringing Adobe Flash Lite to the iconic iPhone? Apparently he wanted to make sure his “Rock Werchter Mobile Guide”; a mobile phone based music festival handbook had the ability to reach a wider audience.

Joos’s guide requires a Flash Lite-enabled device, and since he wanted to reach the iPhone and iPod touch audience, he ported the environment to Mobile OS X.

After much technical wrangling back and forth, Joos managed to bring the native Flash Lite client passes code to the Apple iPhone via eyeGT for rendering. eyeGT allows definition of buttons, animations, hierarchical containers, colour and special effects, and the like. It works on the iPhone/iPod touch as well as several other mobile devices.

So, hopes for a full Flash for the Apple iPhone is looking somewhat better for the future. Video demo below so you can see what the Flash Lite is like.

Japan’s AU KDDI, a major cellular player in the Eastern world has launched the “art meets innovation show” in Harajuku, Japan called the Mobile in Forest Exhibition where you can see various artists’ art works - innovative representations of the cell phone. From picture you see that there a polyurethane rubber “socket-deer” and also “HOLDING BEAR CHARGER” allowing you to recharge your phone in style, I’m sure the bear is a male. LOL. Do I get to see Harajuku girls there?

A belt buckle where you can store some whisky or any other liquor, isn’t that cool? It is made of artificial leather and will be perfect with jeans. You don’t need to take off the belt for drinking, as the whisky bottle is removable, so don’t show off by taking off the belt and drink, you will definitely get your pants dropped off. The whisky bottle buckle plus belt is available for $19.50. More shots after the break.
