Guest sporkguy Posted June 27, 2006 Report Share Posted June 27, 2006 I'd love to know what's behind HTC's naming scheme - it seems Magician, Wizard etc style naming convention denotes a 'powerful device' capable of many things.. With smartphones, Hurricane, Typhoon, Tornado etc - maybe they mean to refer to them as Smartphones that can put up with many weather conditions and are more heavy-wearing than the PPCs? and now Monet - maybe this is their take on the sector of the industry for 'viewing pleasures' - art, etc? God knows :| Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest O2XII Posted June 28, 2006 Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 Why do you think they've gone for microSD rather than miniSD? (Assuming Babelfish does not get the two confused)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest looeee Posted June 28, 2006 Report Share Posted June 28, 2006 Hmm, another fugly phone from HTC fwiw, sky are using drm encoded wmv files. Their install program makes it rather difficult to *fix* the files so they can be re-encoded for smartphone viewing. Its not just sky that are putting out these files. The BBC film network has lots of lovely hi-res short films for download (also DRM'ed but easier to *fix*) Channel 4 have some nice short films too which can all be converted straight to the phone I'd much rather watch something that is pre-recorded that I know isn't going to cut out on me mid-way. With the price of memory cards these days I can fit hours and hours of recordings on the phone and loads of music. Not that bothered about radio and tv, especially if I have to pay for the privilege looeee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Pagemakers Posted July 9, 2006 Report Share Posted July 9, 2006 (edited) But what's the general broadcast reception quality like. Does it steam smoothly or is it full of dropouts? Edited July 9, 2006 by Pagemakers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest MARKUKCOUK Posted July 16, 2006 Report Share Posted July 16, 2006 But what's the general broadcast reception quality like. Does it steam smoothly or is it full of dropouts? its not a stream in the internet fashion - it doesnt matter how many people are connected, its coverage that is important not bandwidth. I don't think its gone beyond a very small sample test, so not many know what the quality is like. DAB coverage is quite ropey on a local level, but my in car DAB radio is perfect both locally and especially nationally (including Digital1 which is broadcasting the TV stuff). If you get a digital radio and can receive Virgin Radio on it, this means you can get the Digital1 multiplex, and therefore the TV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Alexei Posted July 26, 2006 Report Share Posted July 26, 2006 On a side note, why is this device named after an artist? Surely HTC could have come up with something a bit more TV-orientated? (or Magician/Wizard/etc obsqure!) :) HTC Potter perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
