I played with the HTC HD2 for a couple of weeks and one of the most striking aspects of Windows Phone is how much reminds me of the iPhone. From the capacitive touchscreen to the Sense UI, it just seems more iPhone than any other non Apple handset I have played with, including HTC’s excellent Android phones.

Thus, the operating system aside, here is the specification by specification comparison of the two touchscreen handsets.

As you can see, in comparing single specification of the specification, HD2 actually provides more end users. A larger screen, faster processor, a removable battery and storage, the upper support audio file and video, FM radio and a camera of better quality. The iPhone wins in the built in storage (for the 32GB model, although a MicroSD slot counters that win), audio and video playback times, and support for the UMTS 1900GHz spectrum.

Specs are not everything though. Not mentioned above are the apps, the iPhone App Store is a thriving community, while the Windows Phone Marketplace is still finding its feet. Also neglected is the simple aspect of usability. The iPhone wins in this aspect, especially when you drill down to some of the more complex controls of the Windows Mobile operating system. HTC Sense is an extremely good UI though, and the HD2 is easily the best touchscreen Windows Phone on the market today.

Whether or not this is enough to knock the iPhone (and it is passionate user base) from its pedestal is something we will be watching closely…

In 2009 Apple CEO Steve Jobs announced the world the fact that Apple were about to launch the latest manifestation of its popular MP3 player ipod nano, the world sat up and took notice.

Video uploads to the internet is currently big business, so when Mr Jobs later announced to a hall full of Apple technical bods “video uploading is huge and we want a piece of the action”, the full might of the Apple PR machine was thrown behind the launch and soon a legend was born.

As for the new generation of Ipod Nano 5th with built in video camera? It sold out in days and it quickly became THE must have Christmas gift of 2009.

Fast forward to today and a quick search of YouTube for Ipod Moments reveals pages of other peoples ipod moments. Showing an already keen following forming for a dedicated ipod moments YouTube channel.

But this’s a growing problem. More and more public buildings such as library’s, schools and colleges etc, put on YouTube on their ‘not allow’ filters, as a result of possibly objectionable material being displayed. Which leaves a small gap in the market. And this’s where ipod moments.com comes into your life.
