HTC Launches the Diamond—Small and Very iPhone-esque

So, this is the Touch Diamond. It's small, slim, "a holistic experience," according to Horace Luke, HTC's Chief Innovations Officer, and "just like your life." Out in Europe and Asia next month, we should get our hands on it later on this year, and it's the closest thing so far to an iPhone that hasn't come out of Cupertino. Not surprising, since Luke and his team wanted the design to be worthy of MoMA. I'm just not sure about the diamond design on the back. Here is a gallery, the specs and some of the choice quotes from the presentation:

Opera Mini Browser Now on Helio Ocean, Officially

Sure, with a little third-party app hacking you've been able to get Opera running on some Helio phones for a while. But today Helio and Opera have released Opera Mini in what's the first official deployment of the tiny browser by a US service provider. Apparently Helio listened to their enthusiast community and then worked to tailor the software. Press release below the screenshots.

One Man's 20,000-Beer Bender Leads to Aluminum Opera Gowns

Nikos Floros confuses us. Here he is, a dude manly enough to amass a collection of 20,000 beer cans, and what does he do with them? He weaves them into the most intricate, beautiful opera gowns ever seen. They are currently on display in Athens, not to be worn (new definition of nipple chafing) but as a fund-raising exhibition. Opa to your artistry, Nikos—but in all honesty, you're probably why The Man Show went off the air. [NZ Herald via Make]

Unconfirmed: Nintendo Discontinues DS Browser?

This is unconfirmed for now, but some forum poster at Neogaf claims that Nintendo is going to discontinue the DS Lite web browser. Seeing as you had to pay $29 for a web browser that wasn't even that great, we can understand why. [Amazon via Neogaf via DS Fanboy]

Like the Helio Ocean, the Sidekick 3 and Sidekick ID can both get Opera Mini working as a browser. The caveat is that you have to be a Java programmer in the developer community. [Hiptop3]

Custom Apps Now Possible on Helio Ocean (Opera Mini)

Not only is the iPhone getting its third-party cherry popped, the Helio Ocean is now running third-party apps now as well. The first proof of concept app is Opera Mini, the smallish browser from Opera that lets even lousy phones browse like a star. To get it to work on your Ocean (even though the default Ocean browser is just fine for us), just follow the directions on Heliocity. After you're done, you may want to check to see how you can support them to get even cooler apps on the Ocean. [Heliocity]

Wii Flash Exploit Not That Serious, May Not Result in Homebrew

That Wii Internet Channel flash player exploit we looked at last week seems to be not quite as serious as we first thought. So far, instead of allowing possible homebrew code on the Wii (which in turn means emulated games), all the thing does is freeze up the console entirely. According to Symantec, the exploit isn't "much of a threat," and doesn't pose any problems for Linux or Mac systems right now. Let's hope hackers can take this to its logical finish and find a way to run unsigned code on the Wii. [Symantec via Inquirer]

Opera's Flash-Replacement For Cellphones

[UPDATE: This ain't no Flash plugin. Read on.] It's no secret that our gold standard for mobile browsers is full Youtube support. Apparently, that ain't happening because Flash is a CPU and mem hog. So opera is working on a replacement plug in so phones can get in on some mobile video plugin action.

The new technology will add video capability directly into the Web browser, so that users can see and play back video content directly in Opera. As of yet, Opera has not commented on whether or not the new native playback ability for Opera Mobile will be able to play existing Flash content.

Having Conquered Wii, Opera Locks up Samsung

Those of you enamored with Opera after its debut on the Wii earlier today, can now get your Opera fix from one other device, your Samsung handset. Opera has secured a contract to stock Samsung's (presumably higher-end) mobile offerings with its Opera Mobile browser in a per-phone sold licensing agreement. Considering Samsung's massive market share and its contract with Nintendo, it looks like Opera's on top of the world right now. So far no word on when these Opera-packed phones will hit the street, but you'll know when we do. – Matt Buchanan More »

Console Websurfing Test: Wii vs PS3


Browsing the web on a console is kind of a stupid idea. That's what we have PCs for. But if you must, here's our take on the Opera/Wii browser versus the PS3's browser.
Hands down the Wii interface is better than the PS3's, thanks to the remote. I really enjoyed lounging on my couch with one arm flicking around pages. None of this mouse or joystick business. And finally when compared to using the PS3's controller the Wii is a breeze to type with. Granted it's no keyboard, but a welcome improvement. More »
