SonyEricsson X2 vs HTC Touch Pro 2 (Fight of the Windows Mobile Slider Phones Giants)
VS
Those high end devices are similar in features in almost every aspect, however the SE X2 is yet to be released, and the HTC Touch Pro (TP) 2 has been released since may, 2009 (yes, SonyEricsson is lagging way behind). In this article i am going to illustrate the differences in both devices, which might help decide on which one to take
The main obvious software advantage of the X2 over the TP2 is that X2 has Windows Mobile 6.5 while TP2 has Windows Mobile 6.1. however HTC TP2 can be upgraded to Windows Mobile 6.5 either by a developer made frameware (Cooked ROM as HTC developers calls it) or an official upgrade from the HTC site.
X2 has Optical trackpad, stereo speakers, 3.5 mm audio jack while TP2 doesnt have those goodies.
Screen size of the TP2 is 3.6 inches while in X2 its 3.4 (2 more inches DO make a difference in the mobile phones world)
A big advantage of X2 over the TP2 is the camera, which is 8 MP while in TP2 its 3.15 MP (but the way i see it, if you are fond by cameras, get a good stand alone camera)
In terms of user interface experience, the X2 has its famous, well known XPERIA panels user interface, while the TP2 has its own (also famous in HTC world) TouchFLO 3D Interface.
Everything else in those two high end phones are almost identical, it finally comes down to you, wither you prefer XPERIA panels user interface or TouchFLO 3D Interface. and of course wither you prefer to have a relatively good camera in your phone or not, but bare in mind that the X2 is yet to be released (first months its price will be skyrocket “very high”) while the HTC Touch Pro 2 has been around since Last May (2009), with almost identical features as the SonyEricsson X2.
SonyEricsson now is ranked number 5 (believe it or not) in mobile market share in 2009, lagging behind Nokia, Samsung, LG, and even Motorola. SE now seems that it is trying to cut down manifacturing low end devices, and concentrate on high end, smart devices, i am not sure if its the right move in these economically difficult times, or is it?

This is one of the interesting things got to see on GTEX Dubai. A boat Controlled By a remote seems such a normal idea. Well Let me be more specific
The boat is controlled by a remote which any human can use. The remote does not control the boat directly but controlls the fans on the board which blows the boat in different directions which one would desire.
This is actually an idea of application development, have enough modules to do the dirty work.
