Palm and MobiTV announce Treo Mobile Comedy Film Festival
Palm must have hired some whizzy new PR guru, as their marketing assault over the past few weeks has been astronomical. Not only did they launch a suspenseful ad campaign for what was announced last week to be the 500v and give away five of the new smartphones, they’ve now teamed up with MobiTV for the Treo Mobile Comedy Film Festival…
Samsung Armani mobile confirmed as the SGH-P520 touch-screen
Boo hiss. So much for our wild speculation months ago that the rumoured Samsung Armani mobile would be the F700, or ‘Croix’, as it’s recently been branded. Concrete information, such as photos and a long string of model numbers no-one could every possibly remember have been leaked online, and we can reveal it’s simply a disappointing high-end version of their SGH-P520, a touch-screen mobile that hit tech blog headlines earlier this year…
Hug Shirt from CuteCircuit allows you to send hugs via Bluetooth
Bluetooth accessories for mobiles tend to revolve around Nathan Barley-esque headsets or dinky little speakers, so it’s refreshing to see a company like CuteCircuit thinking outside the box.
They’ve designed a product called Hug Shirt which pretty much does what it says on the label, with the Bluetooth sensors and actuators attached to the shirt allowing you to send a hug to a friend who’s also wearing the shirt. This is all well and good, until of course you inevitably meet up that evening, as after sending hugs…

A new Treo! A new Treo! Not only that, but Susi from our sister-site Shiny Shiny will be getting her hands on it later today, and knowing her awesome video prowess, will no doubt have a video to show of it tomorrow too.
The Treo 500v has packed 3G/UMTS mobile internet plus that lovely, if clunky, Windows Mobile 6 OS into the handset, plus the usual full qwerty keyboard, large screen and video streaming capabilities. I’m already imagining catching Trisha on one during my lunch-break…

Microsoft gives Zune a 'B-' for its first year on sale, hints at ZunePhone
Here’s to consumer tech execs eschewing hype in favour of realistic assessments of their products. Mindy Mount is corporate VP and chief financial officer at Microsoft’s entertainment and devices division, so you’d expect her to bang on at length about Zune’s zeitgeist-seizing iPod-slaying revolution. And stuff.
Samsung Ultra F700 rebranded as the Croix
Finally, some fresh news regarding Samsung’s F700 smartphone we saw back at 3GSM in February, and not just speculation such as whether it’ll be Armani-branded or not.
The slinky looking phone has been given a much easier name to remember it by, Croix. As you can probably guess, ‘Croix’ is French for ‘cross’, and as it’s got a four-directional touch input, it’s not just a made-up pretentious name. Using…
