HTC HD7 Review: Posted by Rida Kamran on 8:47 AM

The good: The HTC HD7 features a large 4.3-inch display and has a solid build quality and integrated kickstand. The Windows Phone 7 device offers full wireless options, a 5-megapixel camera with HD video capture, and 16GB of internal memory.
The bad: The HD7 is on the bigger side and lacks expandable memory. Speaker is weak. Touch screen isn't quite as sharp or vibrant as the latest devices.
The bottom line: The hardware could use a bit of updating, but the HTC HD7 for T-Mobile combines the power of Windows Phone 7 with a large touch screen and delivers satisfying performance.

BlackBerry Playbook Price Announced: Posted by Rida Kamran on 11:25 AM

The BlackBerry Playbook is another rival to the Apple iPad , which is due to launch in February.

In an interview with a Korean site RIM CEO Jim Balsielle said the device will be "very competitively priced". The statement has been interpreted that the device will cost around $500 (£312) in the US. Thats a very good price when you consider the iPad 16GB WiFi only iPad costs the same amount.

The BlackBerry PlayBook does have a smaller screen than the iPad as it has a 7 inch touch-screen display, while the iPad has a 9.7 inch offering. Another downside of the BlackBerry Playbook on launch is it's not yet available in a version that supports 3G.

However, the Playbook makes up for it in other ways. It features a fantastic 1 Ghz dual-core processor that should provide much more power than the iPad's processor. It also features a front facing 3 mega-pixel camera and a rear-facing 5 mega-pixel which can record HD video. The Apple iPad meanwhile doesn't even have a camera.
