TouchScreen Mobile

Samsung Pixon

The Samsung M8800 Pixon has special talents, it’s a stunning touch screen mobile but with hidden depths. Beneath a sleek exterior and that bright, clear 3.2? touch screen the Samsung Pixon packs a 8 mega-pixel camera.

The Samsung Innov8 took us into the 8 megapixel territory for the first time but now the Pixon has moved things on by including an 8 MP camera in a very usable touch screen mobile. The camera also has an abundance of features including autofocus, face recognition and geo-tagging making it a competent camera package in it’s own right. The Pixon doesn’t pay the price for these features in terms of size, at 15.5mm thick the Pixon is almost 2mm thinner than the Innov8 and 2.5mm thinner than the Nokia N96. The screen quality compliments the big-hitting camera with an excellent 3.2? 16 million pixel screen.

The Pixon also supports full HD playback so quality of movie playback is as outstanding as the photo viewing, this mobile most definitely is not a one-trick pony. Pixon also supports

Other features include built-in GPS with Google Maps, HSDPA for increased net access speed and document viewer capabilities.

Sony Ericsson Xperia X1

It took a long time to arrive but the Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 touchscreen mobile is here. So how does it stack up amongst the other touch screen mobile contenders I hear you ask?!?!

Sony Ericsson Xperia X1

The Xperia X1 is a touchscreen and keyboard hybrid, it includes a sizeable touchscreen as well as a small but perfectly formed QWERTY keyboard. The Xperia X1 also throws in something extra in the form of handwriting recognition, something which few competitors are able to offer.

The Xperia X1 runs on the Windows Mobile OS but up-front you’ll see an interface called Xperia Panels which gives a good-looking and user-friendly front end. Whats is on-screen therefore looks as good as the rest of the package, this is one seriously slick mobile, well-constructed and a pocket-friendly size despite the fact it’s packing a slide-out keyboard. The screen is 3? and gives a clear sharp image.

In terms of feature the Xperia X1 has handwriting recognition via a stylus, Wi-Fi built-in and HSDPA for when you can’t access Wi-Fi. There is also the now essential built-in camera, in this case a 3.2 megapixel with a decent autofocus so picture quality is good for a mobile. Internet access works well, it isn’t this camera’s strong point but certainly not a weakness.

All-in-all this is a good looking touch screen mobile that also has other input via the keyboard and handwriting recognition which also packs a decent camera. Let this mobile sync with your PC or laptop to unleach it’s full potential. A strong all-rounder!
