The HTC Touch HD is a simplistic and stylish device, in a tablet-style form factor. It's quite a large device, measuring 115mm x 62.8mm x 12mm (4.4" x 2.5" x .47"), and weighs a fairly substantial 147g (5.2oz). The front is dominated by the huge 3.8 inch touch-sensitive WVGA (480x800 pixel) resolution display, which is capable of showing 65,000 colors. Beneath this beautiful display are four touch-sensitive keys, comprising the 'Send' and 'End' keys, plus dedicated 'Home' and 'Back' keys. The only other buttons on the handset are the power button on the top edge and the volume rocker on the left side. The power button houses a notification light to show when the device is low on battery/charging/charged, and signify when a missed call or new message has been received. Unfortunately, it is mounted nearly totally flush with the casing, so is difficult to press.
Above the display is the earpiece, light sensor, and forward-facing camera lens. The whole front of the device is covered by a glossy panel that shows up fingerprints and somewhat harms the legibility of the display in bright conditions. Unlike the iPhone, this panel is not made from glass, and compresses slightly when poking the screen. Thankfully, HTC have included a screen protector in the sales package, but I was unable to fit it without getting a bubble along at least one edge. The screen worked fine with this fitted, though still compressed when touched.
Surrounding the front panel is a shiny black beveled edge to finish off the attractive fascia of the device. Aside from the earlier mentioned buttons, the sides are mostly bare, with only a 3.5mm headphone port on the top edge, and a USB port and microphone pinhole on the bottom. The battery cover occupies most of the Touch HD's rear, and is clad in soft-touch plastic that offers good grip and resistance to fingerprints. The lens for the 5-megapixel camera is also found on the rear, set in the middle of a raised area sporting a brushed-metal effect. Next to this is a tiny grille for the device's loudspeaker.
The bottom end of the Touch HD is clad in more shiny black plastic. Here you'll find the magnetized active stylus, located in the right side of the device. The device's rounded edges, combined with its soft touch plastics and beveled front, give it a pleasant in-hand feel. Overall, the Touch HD feels well constructed and there are no creaks or squeaks to be heard from the covers, either.

Previously we used to take pictures; get them developed and put them in an album and that album would be kept high up on the cupboard top or on a closet top where no hands can reach. We would feel lazy to even get up, pull that album, blow the dust and view those pictures to refresh our memories. Later came in the digital cameras which made our life a bit easy. Using the digital cameras we were able to take hundreds of photos and keep them piled up in paper albums, or store them on our hard disk or burn them on a compact disc. But again viewing the photos in those albums or switching on the computer to check them was another task. We always wanted a device which will help us to store these photos in one place so that we can enjoy their viewing whenever we want. Then came in the age of digital photo albums, I am sure we all must have heard about the digital photo albums which are not new but the one which we are reviewing is definitely a most comfortable digital photo album to use.
Now you don’t have to carry the small pictures of your loved ones in your wallets and purses. It’s time to get more technical and high tech with this age of technology and switch to the Portable Digital Photo Gallery.

You can simply upload your photos directly from your digital camera, memory card, flash drive or computer, and then pop the ALBUM in your pocket or bag. It is quite easy and simple to use with the arrow buttons which help in navigating between the directories or the photos and the middle button will help to open the directories, enters the menu and even confirms a selection. Like in any other digital photo album you have the special feature of automatic slide show
which will help in playing the photos when you are not actually navigating through them. If you want to scroll through the buttons manually, delete photos or create your own personal albums and favorites then you have those exceptional side buttons and if I have forgotten to mention the battery life then it is for three hours.

With the Apple's advancement in their technology in the iPhone
and iTouch, more and more people are getting hooked to having it the gadget to go. With the great graphics and multi-touch sensitivity, more games are being made by both individuals and independent software developers such as Beteo Games (http://www.beteogames.com) and more on the rise.
The easy access to a software development tool, and affordable registration to the app store has somewhat opened Apple's doors to game producers to make more money by delivering it directly to customers. With the more costly production cost of the Nintendo DS and PSP, it is almost an instinct to make the move to producing iPhone Games.
Creativity is the promise of independent software developers, and fresh blood can pour in into the iPhone and iTouch, producing games for every age and taste.
But as more and more games are produced, so is the idea born of getting free games, or another term for piracy, such as what happened to the PC Gaming world. Many gaming platforms are already facing this dilemma, but could iPhone be next?
Word is spreading out that you can get any iPhone app for free, as to the app store has not given any sort of protection to the host that produces this games. But is it worth it? Is iphone gaming in peril?
If you are a software developer, then you should really think about this issue because you might face the problem of piracy, all those effort to make great games might be in vain. Popular gaming consoles have different layers of protection, making them a great consideration for any producer.
If you are a game aficionado who likes to steal games, I tell you it is not worth it. iPhone apps are selling very cheap, cheaper than PC or other handheld gaming consoles, so spending a little on can make you show your appreciation to the producers to their effort of producing such quality games, or you may not experience any great games anymore at all in the future.
