Check out this browser comparison between the LG Panther (Windows Phone 7), iPhone 4 (iOS 4.0.1) and Nexus One (Android 2.2).
Pretty neat little feature in IE on Windows Phone 7. It can load content in different tabs in the background, and as far as I know, this isn’t currently available on other platforms.
We’ve previously been told the HTC Ace was renamed into HTC Desire HD, and the HTC Vision also got renamed into HTC Desire Z.
Now, we’ve got specs for those two devices, and they are as follows:
HTC Desire HD:
HTC Desire Z:
Both devices are pretty darn nice on paper!

A very cool looking device from HTC running on Windows Phone 7. For now this device is called the HTC Schubert, but it’s not confirmed to be a final release name. Can’t see for instance Finns pronouncing this correctly ;)
No word on specs or availability for this device yet.
Pretty neat looking device, and according to the leak yesterday, it will also come with a nice spec sheet.
The first pic of the HTC Desire HD (previously HTC Ace) leaked today.
The HTC Desire HD is said to come with a 4.3″ touchscreen, Froyo, 8MP camera, 1GHz CPU, 720p video recording, 4GB of internal storage, an aluminum case and e-book reader software. Looks pretty promising, now give us a release date, please.
As expected, Sprint today released Android 2.2 for the HTC Evo 4G. To obtain this, hit Settings -> Software Updates -> Firmware Updates.
With Froyo, you’ll get a much improved overall performance due to the new JIT (just in time) compiler, faster JavaScript performance, Bluetooth voice dialing, Flash 10.1 support, app installation on microSD cards, better Exchange support, WiFi hotspot tethering and a preloaded Flashlight app.
Enjoy! :)
