HTC HD2 breaks free in the T-Mobile USA wilds
HTC's HD2 is a near perfect combination of physical hardware and silicon that delivers impressive performance on a device that's surprisingly sleek given the display's massive 4.3-inch exapanse. Even Microsoft's much maligned Windows Mobile 6.5 is expertly masked by HTC's Sense interface. So it's easy to understand the anticipation felt by the HD2's first US release, questions of a Windows Phone 7 OS upgrade path notwithstanding. T-Mobile has the release honors and is now showing the HD2 as "coming soon" in its phone inventory

The Body of a Tank, the Brain of an Android [Android]
We've come across plenty of robots that were controlled by phones before, but usually those phones were being controlled by human hands. Some California hackers, however, are building bots that put Android to work for their robo-brainpower. Their first creation, the TruckBot, uses a HTC G1 as a brain and has a chassis that they made for $30 in parts. It's not too advanced yet—it can use the phone's compass to head in a particular direction—but they're working on incorporating the bot more fully with the phone and the Android software. Some ideas they're kicking around that wouldn't be possible with a dinky Arduino brain: face and voice recognition and location awareness

Microsoft shows off single game running on Windows, Windows Phone and Xbox
Guess we don't have to wait until MIX to have all our Windows Phone 7 Series questions answered! Microsoft's Eric Rudder, speaking at TechEd Middle East, showed off a game developed in Visual Studio as a singular project (with 90% shared code) that plays on Windows with a keyboard, a Windows Phone 7 Series prototype device with accelerometer and touch controls, and the Xbox 360 with the Xbox gamepad. Interestingly, not only is the development cross-platform friendly, but the game itself (a simple Indiana Jones platformer was demoed) saves its place and lets you resume from that spot on whichever platform you happen to pick up. Pretty impressive stuff, and while the words "Windows Phone 7 Series" weren't spoken by Eric, the use of the prototype ASUS device and the clear emphasis that this would place on Xbox Live for making the magic happen make it obvious that this is the "wave of the future" for all three platforms -- at least for casual gaming.

Bad news: HTC says the Nexus One doesn’t ‘go in pockets’
One of the biggest mysteries in the blogosphere right now is probably Crave's Nexus One , which somehow developed a cracked screen while simply charging on the desk (sounds familiar, right ?). Not even HTC could unearth the cause from its forensic inspection, but it didn't rule out the possibility of a small crack growing over time due to, for example, "getting knocked around by keys" and repetitive squeezes in tight pockets. That's fine, but saying "people sometimes forget that they don't go in pockets" is surely stretching a bit , no? What happened to the awesomeness in the compression test and bend test that we once witnessed? More importantly, has anyone here had the same baffling screen problem and been charged

Lip-Reading Cell Phones Will Be Great For Phone Six [Science]
German researchers are working on mobile phone technology that would convert silent mouth movements into speech. It's an ingenious way to have a noiseless conversation, but if they don't get it right there could be some unfortunate mix-ups. The tech—developed at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology—involved uses electromyography, and measures the electrical potentials generated by muscle activity in the face to translate mouth movements into speech. You'd be able to speak silently, but the person on the other end of the line would hear what you were saying loud and clear. Of course, lip-reading is an inexact science—even more so, I would imagine, when implemented by a machine.

Microsoft: no backwards compatibility for Windows Phone 7
Microsoft has unveiled some important elements for the Windows Phone 7 Series development platform. Most importantly, the software giant has confirmed what we've been expecting the company to announce for a while now. "For Microsoft, the cost of going from good to great is a clean break from the past," a Microsoft spokesperson told Ars.

When (If Ever) Is It Okay to Email/SMS at Dinner? [Ask The Readers]
The Times' tech writer Nick Bilton sat down with ABC anchor Diane Sawyer to discuss the dos and don'ts of digital etiquette, spending the majority of their time talking about the etiquette of using smartphones in social situations, like dinner with friends. Bilton's stance is simply that it depends entirely on context: I wouldn't feel comfortable texting a friend while I'm in a meeting with my boss. But I often sit at dinner with friends, chatting in person while simultaneously engaging with distant friends in a digital context. Depending on the age group I'm with, that can be considered perfectly acceptable. Regardless of context, Sawyer doesn't entirely buy the idea that simultaneous digital and face-to-face conversation has any place at the dinner table (and makes a pretty good joke demonstrating her skepticism at the end of the video).
