Sony Ericsson are continuing to expand their environmentally friendly GreenHeart range with their third QWERTY, Windows Mobile device – the Aspen. Sony Ericsson has described the new phone as “the business mobile phone with green credentials at its core” and it is certainly that; with the same user interface as the Xperia X1 and X2 and recycled materials used throughout the package.

The 2.4 inch touchscreen phone has the full package of connectivity options including WiFi, GPS, Bluetooth and a 3.5mm audio jack. The QWERTY keyboard allows for fast messaging and viewing and editing Microsoft Office files is a breeze with one touch operation. Great for a business user ‘with a conscience’; the Aspen has a power saving mode, E-manual and an Eco mate application. There is also a decent media player, 3.2 megapixel camera and access to social networking sites for some fun out of the office! The interesting looking phone comes in Iconic Black and White Silver

The GreenHeart Aspen is set to be an affordable business phone when it released in the second quarter of 2010.

The highly anticipated HD2 from HTC is the world’s first Windows Mobile phone with a capacitive touchscreen. Not only that, it is a whopping 4.3 inch in size with HTC Sense user interface for an enhanced user experience. With a high-resolution screen and built in accelerometer, viewing photos, videos and web pages is a dream and with an impressive 1GHz Snapdragon processor the super fast device can cope with a number of apps at once without a hitch.

If you are looking for an alternative business phone this may be the one. With both Internet Explorer and Opera Mobile browsers on board and WiFi and HSPA support, users can access the internet, view and edit Office documents and send/receive emails wherever they are to keep on top of work wherever they are.

Similar to the HTC Hero, the HTC TouchFLO home screen displays useful information such as Messages, Weather, Stocks, Photos, Calendar and Email as well as popular social networking sites such as Twitter and Facebook.

The HD2 is a fantastic all-rounder and a strong leader in the touchscreen market. Choose a deal to suit you today at www.mobilesplease.co.uk

The well known technology that enables computer users to watch videos will soon be available on most smartphones. Flash software delivers around 75% of online video and is the ‘key technology that underpins websites such as YouTube and Google Video’.  Due to the limited processing power of the devices, only a ‘light’ version has been used. The makers of Flash, Adobe have said it should be available by 2010 on most high end phones…unfortunately not including Apple’s iPhone.

With the growth of smartphones and web browsing ‘booming’, Flash 10.1, as the new software is known has been developed to supply the demand of mobile users that want their mobile to act like a computer. Flash is found on 98% on computers and is the most commonly used piece of software installed on computers. The software is expected to be available on Windows Mobile, Palm and Google Android phones early next year. This is great news for mobile users as they will now be able to stream videos on their phones much easier.

Apple does not yet have any plans to support the new Flash software. According to Anup Muraka of Adobe, “Safari (Apple’s web browser) doesn’t support any kind of plug-in [on the iPhone].” He is hoping however, that Apple will eventually join with Flash to make some very happy iPhone customers.
