DredSensor – Reassign Answer and End key when needed [HTC TOUCH DIAMOND and HTC TOUCH PRO] – quick look

It is not unknown fact that the HTC Diamond’s and HTC Touch Pro’s D-Pad is very difficult to use. Quite a lot of time, I press the keys around the D-Pad when pressing one of the direction keys. Dredger97, a great coder at Xda-Devs has developed an application, which lets you modify the functions of Answer key and End key respectively.

To use it, just go to the application where you wish to change the functions of those keys surrounding D-Pad. Then, take the stylus out and put it right back-in in 1 seconds or less. You will get a message box telling you the application name. In the following screenshot, I am playing “Lemonade”.

ASUS going to launch S101H

According to the reports of Fudzilla, ASUS is preparing the launch of it’s new another variant EEE PC, the S101H. There are not much details on this new model, but since it is using the suffix “H”, we surmise that it will have a Hard Disk instead of the SSD, which comes with the S101.

The S101 is the lightest 10.2″ netbook. It sports an ultra-thin design, a la Macbook-Air style. So far, Solid-state drive on the S101 has been of shabby capacity so far (16GB on the Windows XP version). The use of hard disk in S101H will attract more buyers who need more space to store the data and stuff.

Also, it will also help ASUS to lower the price a bit by using hard disk, which are cheaper than the SSDs. We will keep you updated with this new model from ASUS

VIA wants to rumble with the Atom processors! – Here comes the VIA Dual-Core

VIA made it’s first appearence in the netbooks field, when it was selected by the HP to be used in HP mininote 2133. It didn’t offer jaw-dropping performance, even on the model with the hightest GHz number: 1.6GHz Via processor equipped 2133 Mininote.

Frankly speaking, it got over-shadowed by the much more efficient and powerful Intel Atom processor. The Intel Atom processor became increasingly popular amoung the Netbook manufactures. HP later on, also went with the Intel Atom processor in it’s new netbook, HP min 1000.

But, now, a brand-new Dual Core VIA processor, which is a very low power processor is in the works and will directly compete with the Intel Atom processor. It should however be noted that Intel Atom also comes in Dual-Core version, but is currently in use only in Nettops (low-power Desktops).

Here are more features of the Dual-Core VIA:

  • Native Dual Core Design Native Dual Core Design
  • New Process Process Technology New Process Process Technology
  • Nano BGA 2 foot print Nano BGA 2 foot print
  • Leverage C7M/Nano board designs Leverage C7M/Nano board designs

30GB Zunes all over the world just stopped working!

UPDATE from Zune spokesperson: We are aware that customers with the Zune 30GB are experiencing issues with their Zune device. We are actively working now to isolate the issue and develop a solution to address it. We will keep customers informed on next steps via the support page on zune.net

On the New Year eve, what worse could have happened to the owners of the 30GB Zune models? Reports say that they are all fail to complete the boot process. The timing is also very odd. At 0200h on Dec 31, 2008, which is very early ‘morning’, a bunch of Zunes just stopped working. The ‘affected’ Zunes reboot on their own and never complete the boot.

It has been observed that this is happening to those with the latest firmware. People who still have the older firmware versions are not facing this problem. Talk about ‘disadvantages’ of upgrading

I fail to imagine how the Microsoft is going to handle the angry Zune owners.
