Digitimes is reporting that HTC is planning to launch an Internet-enabled feature phone later this year. However, contrary to what we would think, this would not be running Windows Mobile (or Android). It would instead be running BREW MP. HTC will be bundling it with wide range of flash applications to provide multimedia services to the user.

Last year, HTC did give us all a hint that they will be launching an updated version of the HTC Advantage (X7510), but we did not know that it would not be running Windows Mobile.

For those who do not what BREW MP is: It is a mobile platform made by Qualcomm

There are two several ways to twit on a Windows Mobile:

1. The best way is to use a dedicated twitter application like Pocketwit which is a freeware. With it, you can post to Twitter using a URL you want to share, a picture you have stored on your smartphone, or a picture you just snapped with the camera, and you can even insert a GPS link showing your location.
2. HelloTwitFace: It gives you the ability to post your status on Twitter and Facebook or HelloTxt
3. ceTwit
4. Twobile
5. Tinytwitter
6. You can just redirect the mobile browser to http://m.twitter.com and you will be taken mobile webpage of the twitter. It is fairly bandwidth friendly.

I personally use m.twitter.com as the Pocketwit takes a while to start.

Windows Mobile 7 is still more than an year away from making its debut, but folks at SHBT have come up a software which looks a lot like the sliding panel interface found on the Windows Mobile 6.1 smartphones (non-touchscreen based).

While Microsoft did not being the sliding panel interface in Windows Mobile 6.1, they are bringing it in the Windows Mobile 6.5.

SHBT MyHome is available for 14.95 euros from here

HTC TOUCH HD sports a huge 3.8-inch WVGA screen which is simply amazing to look at. Now, HTC and EA are bringing together Need For Speed Undercover for the racing enthusiasts. The gamer will be able to change the directions of the car with the G-Sensor of the Touch HD.

Also, Monopoly will be coming to windows mobile. Wait. Windows Mobile already has monopoly (made by handmark). But need for speed finally coming to Windows Mobile is a great news. I hope the HTC cooperates with Qualcomm to make the video drivers availble to the NFS team so that they can use the unused hardware acceleration present in Touch HD.

Here is the official press release:
