Pantech Matrix Pro giveaway started yesterday

The Pantech Matrix Pro is, unless I'm wrong, the only Windows Mobile device with two slide out keyboards; one for dialing and the other for typing emails, texts etc. The device does look interesting and runs Windows Mobile 6.1 Standard. I'm just sad that I cannot participate and get  chance to win one of the 26 devices that Pantech or AT&T are giving away. It seems that only U.S. residents can participate (Globalization????).
 
Anyway, if you're in the U.S., Pantech will be offering 26 Matrix Pro devices through 26 tech sites. Each site will have there own rules though. Note that it started yesterday on http://tools-for-thought.com/ who will announce the winner on April, 19.
For a list of participating websites, check out Jack Cook's blog at http://experiencemobility.net/?p=2090 and good luck.

Twikini (beta): The fastest Twitter app for WM?

I tend to think so. Twikini is the latest application developed for twittering on Windows Mobile phones. Currently in beta, Twikini "offers a powerful and efficient way to use Twitter on your phone. It conveniently updates your favorite feeds in the background, and leverages the camera, GPS, media, touchscreen, keyboard, graphics and storage capabilities of your device.

I strongly recommend you give Twikini a try. Even the cab file is small.

The HTC Snap is awesome

HTC has announced the successor to my favorite HTC S620 and that is the HTC Snap. The picture shows a slick device with interesting specs and a whole lot of improvements over my good old and faithful S620. Some of the specs are a Qualcomm 528MHz processor, ROM: 256MB, RAM: 192, HSDPA, a Trackball, a 1500 Mah battery. Thanks goodness they got rid of the touch strip.
 
Software-wise, HTC introduced the Inner Circle application: "Life seems to be speeding up. And with more to organize and less time to do it, your phone should help prioritize the people who matter most to you. HTC Inner Circle keeps you connected to your exclusive few. With the touch of a button, e-mails from your "inner circle" rise to the top for quick access and streamlined communication."
 
I hope to get to review this device.
