HTC Titan and Radar WP7 Mango devices revealed, due next month



IFA event is currently going on in Berlin and a lot of big technology brands introduced new stuff. Samsungannounced several stuff and Toshiba introduced a new tablet whereas Sony Ericsson showed us the updated version of Xperia Arc, that’s the story of Germany. On the other side, HTC which is one of the leading smartphone manufacturers in the world unveiled two new devices in London. If you are an Android fanboy then you don’t need to go all happy because these are WP7 phones, actually first ever WP7.1 a.k.a Mango devices. Remember the leaked HTC Omega and HTC Eternity? And we told you a week ago that HTC will be launching them on September 1st, so the rumor was true.
HTC Eternity, now known as HTC Titan is a huge device. One can consider it as a successor to HTC HD7 because Titan comes with a huge 4.7 inch SLCD touchscreen display. It comes with a 1.5 GHz single core Qualcomm processor, 512MB of RAM and up to 16GB storage, 8 MP camera with dual LED flash, 1.3 MP front-facing camera for video chatting, and some other good features. Titan looks like a one powerful device and I am sure it will be good for both HTC and Microsoft as it will be one of the first WP7 Mango devices. About the price, Titan will go for 599 euros and it will hit the market on October 1st.
HTC Radar (previously known as Omega) is for people who are looking for a device with normal size, not with a huge display like Titan. Radar features a 3.8 Inch display which means the size of the device is around the Nexus One. Also a 1 GHz processor, 512 MB RAM, and a 5 megapixel camera and a front facing camera for video chat. Radar is actually for people who are looking for a mid-range budget WP7 device  and it really looks good. The design is quite beautiful and as it’s HTC, I am personally a big fan of their devices built quality. HTC will also launch it on October 1 and it will go for 399 euros.
Well folks, some nice WP7 devices from HTC, right? So who’s planning to get some new Mangoes from HTC earlier next month? Check out the videos after the break and share your thoughts with us in the comment box below:

Toshiba announces thinnest Android tablet AT200 at IFA


Many devices are being launched at the IFA, we just saw a parade of new Samsung devices, now it is the time for Toshiba to reveal their Android Honeycomb running tablet AT200. At 7.7 mm thin, this is the thinnest tablet running Android, thinner than Samsung’s Galaxy Tab by 1 mm.
Toshiba AT200 sports a 1.2 GHz dual core processor (TI Omap 4430), which is the same processor used in Droid 3, with 1 GB of RAM and a 10.1″ display. This will be one of the few non – Tegra 2 devices running Honeycomb, so the performance of this device is yet to be seen. We think this new device from Toshiba will be better and faster then it’s the older version, AT100 which was running on a dual core 1 GHz Tegra 2 processor.
From the look of this device it looks like it has a metallic back which may increase the weight, but it should not be much as the device is really thin. We look forward on checking out how well Honeycomb works on TI chipsets.

HTC Sensation Special Edition to come with a 1.5 GHz dual core processor


Just a few weeks back we came to know that HTC will be partnering with Beats by Dr. Dre, and if you were wondering which will be the first device to come out with the new beats technology then we have got your answer. The first device to come out with Beats would be a special edition of HTC Sensation which will be called as “HTC Sensation Special Edition 2″, besides using the Beats technology, this device will also have other major upgrades, read on.
Special edition of the HTC Sensation will feature a 1.5 GHz dual core processor (Qualcomm 8260 chipset) which will be an upgrade to the 1.2 GHz dual core used in the older Sensation, it is the same chipset used in the current sensation but clocked to 1.5GHz which will be much faster. It will also have a 4 Gb (2 GB in current sensation) of internal memoryand a 1730 mAh (1520 mAh in current sensation) battery, rest all the features like the display size camera remains the same.
We have no idea about the release date of this device, but as per cnet it will cost $ 847. This device does look promising but the cost seems to be too high. The sales of this device will depend on when it is released. As we have the Nexus Prime set to be released next month, the Sensation 2 will have better sales if it is sold before Nexus Prime or iPhone 5 comes to the market.
