Just received a marketing demo of the HTC Legend

Landed on my desk today (we will have stock in to ship before Easter) and I have to say - as a content HTC Hero user, I am really impressed with the HTC Legend as an upgrade:

It's very fast in comparison to the Hero, and really adds to the HTC Sense user experience
The screen is ultra-clear (thanks to AMOLED technology), it's a real step-up from the Hero
The aluminium finish is fantastic, I prefer it to the white plastic finish on the Hero
The new touch pad is very responsive, again, I prefer it to the trackball on the Hero

If you are using an HTC Hero and are considering upgrading to the HTC Legend, I highly recommend it!

Windows Phone 7 Series announced today

The smartphone arena has reached new levels of competition over the past year; we have Apple with the iPhone OS, Palm with WebOS and Google with Android. Now Microsoft has returned with a bang by announcing Windows Phone 7 Series at the annual Mobile World Congress in Barcelona.

With some similarities to the Zune HD player available in the US - the new OS is a complete re-write from the ground-up (not an update to Windows Mobile 6.5) and will require devices to meet a strict set of specifications to get the most out of it.

Watch a demo of Windows Phone 7 Series in action here.

Tech21 iBand for iPhone as seen on Dragons' Den

Product Flash: Tech21 iBand as seen on Dragons' Den

iBand: impact protection for your iPhone 3G or 3G S

The Tech21 iBand is constructed from d3oT, an intelligent protective material that transforms from a soft, flexible gel, to a shock-absorbent casing on impact.

Used by extreme sports brands and professional athletes from around the world, d3oT offers unique impact protection for your iPhone 3G or 3G S.

The clever bit.
At rest, the molecules inside d3oT move freely, making it soft and flexible, while at the point of impact or shock, the molecules lock together to spread and absorb the force, safeguarding your iPhone 3G or 3G S in a protective layer.

Full functional access
With full access to all ports and controls, the iBand offers a slimline and stylish way to safeguard your iPhone 3G or 3G S, while you enjoy full functionality. Benefit from the ultimate, revolutionary protective shield for your iPhone 3G or 3G S, without compromising its sleek design.

Did you know?
The protective d3oT material transforms from a soft, flexible gel to a shock-absorbent casing on impact.
