ai.rs blog crew is back from vacation and we are proud to present you the HTC Desire with Super LCD screen. Although the black looks better on old generation screen (AMOLED), the new one is much more realistic, with natural, pleasant colors. In the following video you can see the differences (not drastic), click full screen and 720p option to see it better. Our vote goes to SLCD
We saw this one coming. Transparent display was presented at CES 2010. In full AMOLED glory combined with 960×540 resolution it has a coolness factor, although we cannot find real world use for it without thinking it trough. It is a pity that the transparency level is fixed to 38%. However display is 10bit, so the colors appear to be realy vibrant. Do we improvise and make a cheap HUD for our car, or can you find a better use for it ?

Souce: OhGizmo!
We are back from our holidays, and, since this is our first post this year, we wish everybody Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, and lots of cool gadgets 
For the last few days, we have been testing Samsung Omnia Pro B7610 (who comes up with these kind of names???). It is a splendid little smartphone, and we enjoyed playing with it. You can read our impressions about the device here.

Quick specs for the impatient 
:
As we promised, we bring you more info on HTC Legend. In fact, we present you exclusive crystal clear image of the upcoming Android phone from HTC. We suppose it will replace Hero, considering the dimensions, screen size and specs. Besides the AMOLED HVGA screen (16 million colors) it features optical mouse (or should we say optical trackpoint?). Legend will probably be announced in Barcelona (World Mobile Congress 2010) and hit the streets (or mobile operators) in march 2010. It certainly does resemble the Hero, but Legend will have metallic frame and will also feature updated versions of HTC People and Footprints. Let's not forget LED flash, something the Hero really misses, and a 600MHz processor. Green bottom is probably going to change… What do you thing on Legend vs Bravo ? Will you even consider HVGA after WVGA and Bravo appear ?
Update: Specs sheet is now correct, the screen is HVGA !
We are back from a long vacation and it is with a bang We bring you the exclusive image and specifications of the upcoming HTC Bravo, the first 1GHz Android-powered smartphone from HTC. It is packing a Snapdragon 1GHz processor that we all know and love in HD2. It looks like a great spring for all Android lovers. WVGA is finally coming to HTC Android models and we are looking forward to testing this great device. We have more information on Legend as well, but patience, it is coming soon
We have already published a lot of screenshots of Samsung's I8000 Omnia II. Now we have a final build of the software and it looks like Samsung has tried to cover Microsoft flaws as much as possible with it's TouchWiz interface. The device itself is very fast, and build quality is excellent. After a quick check of the specs we present you a vdeo tour and a ton of new screenshots:

We had a chance to play with a test sample of Samsung’s baby-Galaxy aka Spica (aka I5700 Galaxy Lite). You had the opportunity to see green version in action in our previous post. Sample that we have in our hands has matte backcover, totaly resistant to fingerprints -- nice move Samsung. The screen is AMOLED, and it appears that there is only 100MB memory available. Of course it can be upgraded via microSDHC cards, and since this is only a test version, we cannot make any conclusions.
Feel free to drop us a comment below and we’ll try to give you an answer (while we still have it on us). Update: our logo covers something that we just cannot show you
Samsung Electronics has released the AMOLED 12M mobile phone which contains a 12 megapixel camera complete with zoom rocker, shutter button and mode dial. The phone's camera has a 3x optical zoom and includes features seen in recent compact cameras including 720p HD video recording, AF Tracking, Smart Auto and Face Recognition. All other functions are controlled via a WVGA (800×480 pixels, 1,152,000 dots) AMOLED (Active Matrix Organic Light-Emitting Diode) touch screen display. Initiailly only available in the Korean market, the phone/camera is a product of Samsung Electronics, which contains Samsung's mobile phone business. The company is reported to be considering absorbing Samsung's digital camera business – currently a separate company called Samsung Digital Imaging.

Russian site readweb.org has posted new information on Samsung i5700 Galaxy Lite. Since we had a device in our hands we are not certain about resolution (it is actually HVGA 320×480) and other specs. As you can see, the fantastic lime green background has changed 
Russian source says that the release date is postponed to the beggining of next year (!?) We hope to see it as soon as possible. Here are the specs with our comments in the brackets:

We have received shiny new and improved Samsung I8000 Omnia II with Windows Mobile 6.5 and Samsung TouchWiz 2.0. It feels very fast with 800Mhz CPU, and large AMOLED display with better resolution than previus one. Now there is also an audio 3.5mm jack. We do not like the cover for microUSB socket, and maybe too conventional design.
Enjoy the screen shots of new phone and operating system.
