HTC Stereo Converter

Jason Chen — Wed, 20 Dec 2006 18:25:34 EST

If you've picked up an HTC Trinity, Artemis, or TyTN/Cingular 8525, you probably noticed that the only headset port is the 11-pin mini USB kind. Pretty gimpy if you want to use your Shure or your V-Moda Vibe headphones to listen to music. Brando's got the HTC stereo converter shipping December 27, which allows you to use any standard headset with your swanky new HTC phone. We're sold. – Jason Chen

HTC Love Ditches GPS, Adds Media Features

Jason Chen — Wed, 13 Dec 2006 18:41:00 EST

HTC's newest phone in their keyboard-less line looks and feels a lot like the HTC Artemis (left), the WM5 smartphone with a GPS built-in. But instead of allowing you to navigate from your phone, the HTC Love (right) lets you download and play back music. Totally different markets here.

The Love still has the white trackball of the Artemis, but includes a "Media Hub" on the today screen which manages your FM radio, photos, music, and movies with a built-in launcher. Other features, which are similar to the Artemis, are 2-megapixel camera, 2.8-inch screen, microSD slot, Bluetooth 2.0 A2DP, 802.11b/g, USB, WiFi and a built-in FM radio. A nice alternative if you weren't too big on using your phone as navigation first place. – Jason Chen

HTC Artemis First Look and Gallery

Mobility Today has a gallery of the HTC Artemis, a GPS-enabled Windows Mobile smartphone that we saw reviewed here. You can see the 2-megapixel camera, the BlackBerry Pearl-like jog ball, and the slim slot.

Bonus shots of the Artemis against the T-Mobile Dash (HTC Excalibur), Motorola Q, and the Samsung I-320 after the jump. If you were curious how big this GPS-phone is compared to a phone with a keyboard, check it out. – Jason Chen

HTC Artemis GPS Smartphone Reviewed (Verdict: Scrolls Like Butter)

Jason Chen — Thu, 19 Oct 2006 21:00:00 EDT

If you're not familiar with HTC, it's a company that makes various smartphones both under their own name and for service providers to brand as their own. Their latest, the PDA/phone Artemis, continues their tradition of great phones in a PDA body.

The most notable feature: a built-in GPS with the Sirf-Star III chipset which enables built-in navigation functions. Other great stuff were the clear call quality, A2DP Bluetooth, touchscreen, 2-megapixel camera, and the BlackBerry Pearl-like scroller. The ball can actually control a cursor on the screen as well as scrolling through menus.

The bad? The aging 200MHz processor and the lack of a QWERTY keyboard. Because of this, you probably won't be doing too much messaging or emailing—it's more for organizing and navigation. – Jason Chen

Video of the HTC Artemis in Action

Gizloco — Mon, 28 Aug 2006 15:24:31 EDT

HTC has been getting an absurd amount of hype lately, so here's just a little bit more to throw on the pile. What we have here are a couple of videos of HTC's Artemis, the Windows Mobile-based GPS-enabled PDA in action. Watch as the video's host, BengalBoy, takes us through the act of...touching the center knob and...clicking said center knob like a mouse. This is Must-See Youtubery.

The video does at least complement all the Artemis coverage we've done as of late. – Nicholas Deleon

HTC's 2006 Roadmap

Jason Chen — Mon, 14 Aug 2006 18:45:14 EDT

Our favorite amateur softcore pornographer BengalBoy got his hands on HTC's 2006 roadmap. HTC, in case you forgot, makes Windows Mobile 5-based smartphones for other manufacturers like QTek and Dopod to sell with their own branding.

First up, HTC has changed their slogan to HTC Smart Mobility from their old HTC Engineering Mobility and HTC Innovation. They've also renamed their phones with letters instead of words, like the HTC TyTN and the HTC MTeoR.

So what's due in '06? The TyTN and the MTeoR, which have just been released in Europe. Then there's the HTC Artemis and the HTC Excalibur, the latter of which is a Motorola Q-like smartphone. There's also thee phones we haven't heard much about, the HTC Melody, the HTC Trinity and the HTC OxyGen.

Take a look at the specs for those three phone after the jump. – Jason Chen

HTC Artemis GPS-Enabled PDA Phone

Jason Chen — Mon, 14 Aug 2006 17:45:19 EDT

The HTC Artemis is HTC's first cellphone with on-board GPS, saving you the hassle of having to attach an external GPS unit for driving directions. No slide-out QWERTY on this one, but it does have a 2-megapixel camera, WiFi, microSD, TI OMAP 850 200MHz CPu, Bluetooth, FM Radio, and 64MB of on-board storage.

Although not as powerful as the HTC TyTN, it is very handy for driving thanks to its built-in GPS. Otherwise, the features are just about the same as an HTC Wizard (T-Mobile MDA, Verizon XV6700) and it doesn't have a QWERTY keyboard.

Available Q3 2006. – Jason Chen

UbiBro Artemis Q USB Tuner

Jason Chen — Tue, 02 May 2006 01:51:40 EDT

USB DMB Tuners don't need to be ugly—case in point, the UbiBro Artemis Q. Looking like a sexy nun with its white and black glossy finish, the USB Tuner seems more like a miniature phone than a TV tuner when it's docked in the included receiver. Watch and record programs on the road in style. Non-South Koreans need not apply.
