Giga-Byte GSmart Windows Mobile Phones Have a Fancy Smart Touch UI

3:20AM Jason Chen | It took a year for Giga-Byte to follow in HTC’s footsteps, but the upcoming GSmart Windows Mobile smartphones will have a brand new UI on top of the standard WinMo affair. The interface is called “Smart Touch,” and will be more finger-friendly—more oriented toward gestures and finger-navigation—lending itself to launching your commonly used programs directly from the home screen. The Chinese version of this has been available since April, but suffers from some incompatibility issues that most likely won’t be in the European release version coming sometime after May.

Gigabyte Releases Second-Generation UMPC

6:11AM Adrian Covert | When Gigabyte released their first UMPC, the U60, there was plenty to like, including the split keyboard. With the M704, Gigabyte is essentially releasing a refreshed U60 with a new look, a slightly bigger screen and a beefed-up processor. The second-gen UMPC will have a 1.2 GHz VIA processor, 768 MB of RAM, 40-60 GB HDD, a 7″ screen and a three-hour battery life. Availability and pricing for the M704 is still hazy at this point, but I wouldn’t be surprised to see it priced in the same range as the U60. [Crave] More »
