This is a bit of a different item that I stumbled across, struck me as rather amusing.
Martin Cooper, who many consider to be the inventor of the modern mobile phone, thinks that today’s devices are too complicated. At a conference in Madrid he said the following- “Whenever you create a universal device that does all things for all people, it does not do any things well,” said the 80 year-old, who made the first wireless call from a busy Manhattan street corner on April 3 1973.
“Our future I think is a number of specialist devices that focus on one thing that will improve our lives,” said Mr Cooper, who has previously criticised the iPhone for being overly complicated and hard to use.
“The first cell phone model weighed over one kilo and you could only talk for 20 minutes before the battery ran out, which is just as well because you would not be able to hold it up for much longer,” added the Chicago-born scientist.” More at Telegraph.co.uk.

In just 14 days, the new BlackBerry Bold 9700 will be ready or shipping.
November 23rd is the current release date for the first UK stock.
The Bold 9700 has been getting a great deal of attention in the press for many reasons, the primary being it is just an exceptional device.
I had a brief hands on last week and I have to say I was impressed.
The screen is amazingly crisp and the speakers are very loud indeed! So if after a long day of working you want to relax watching a film on the train…this is more than capable – especially as it has a 3.5mm audio jack allowing you to connect your favourite headphones.
There is an optical track pad, rather than a roller-ball for menu navigation. This takes some getting used to but is fairly efficient once you get used to it and it will be more reliable than a roller-ball, so I am reliably informed.
The keyboard is solid and usable, not as big as that on the Blackberry Bold 900 but better than that on the 8520.
It was a little thicker than I thought it would be, but in the hand it felt reasonably comfortable.
As great upgrade from any messaging device, the new Blackberry Bold 9700 will be available from Clove very soon.

43:43 minutes to be precise.
This is how long a HTC HD2 video from Paul O’Brien at MoDaCo is.
We brought you yesterday a video from Matt at Tracy and Matt’s Blog. This video however goes into a little more depth so we thought you would probably want to see it.
Quick Reminder – We will begin shipping HTC HD2’s from this Friday!

Engadget have reported (through connections of theirs) that a recent hands on with the Acer Liquid has been rather pleasing, but perhaps lacking in some areas…do bear in mind this would not have been the final production model that will have been reviewed.
As suspected, the handset is running a 1GHz Snapdragon that’s been under-clocked to 768MHz. And it looks like Acer didn’t go crazy with the User Experience either, pretty much staying true to its Google Android 1.6 roots, albeit with a number of additions, including: social networking integration (Facebook and Flickr contacts and photo sharing), nemoPlayer for multimedia files, DataViz for Microsoft Exchange support, and the Spinlets music streaming service. In addition, Acer has redesigned some of the widgets, including the clock and the task manager, which now includes a preview of open apps. All-in-all, it seems to be a pretty solid Android handset with a few useful additions — but as always, the verdict is out until we get our hands on one. In the meantime, hit up the read links below for a generous helping of screenshots, hands-on pics, and impressions.

There are a growing number of reports on the demand of the HTC HD2 outpacing the supply.
HTC CEO Peter Chou has confirmed this in a recent news article.
At Clove we can confirm that this is the case and that stock will be in very limited supply until 2010, so if you get one of the first units you will be very luck indeed! First stock to begin shipping 13th November.
