You can run Windows and Windows software (even without windows installed) in so many ways on Macs now including natively that I don't know what would/could hinder you from doing it, aside from some hangup

(I hope...)

Meizu is not a chip manufacturer...

Apple is NOT the one holding the patent for the touch features on the iPhone/iPod touch, it is the Asian company supplying the LCDs to them who has the patent!

Why not just install one of the (thousands?) iPhone themes/skins available for just about every phone and OS, most of them for free? That's just as useful (if not more so) than paying for one of those clones, that is nothing but a regular mobilephone anyhow...

In short, it says RAI will move towards T-DMB, instead of DVB-H.
Moreover, in Germany, T-Systems will start the build-out in early 2008, with the expectation to have the 90 percent of the populace getting covered by 2015

yes I'm italian

I've read about the DVB-T... it's weird, it's an older format, and only RAI will switch to it from DVB-H, wich IMO is a better format...
Sure MEIZU can't produce a DVB-H tuner chip just for the Italian market,
though it woudln't be hard to have a chip reading both H and T streams.

Ultimately, Digital TV in cellphones has been limited in sales, guess what,
by tiny displays. The M8 will have a huge display.. and that would let you enjoy anything visual..

I wouldn't be surprised to see some kind of digital tv reciever in the m8. Whether it will be DVB-T or DVB-H or whatever is another question. It would most likley be chinas own digital standard which is known as DMB-T/H. Im in the UK and if this had DVB-T it would be unbelievable, I doubt it will though. Saying that though the soon to be released Cowon Q5 which is based on wndows CE architecture (5.0 not 6.0) is said to have DVB-T while the korean models have DMB. So in theory it could be possible.

Me too

What I'm talking about is T-DMB, however yes, it's less advanced than DVB-H, but it's completely free since it doesn't allow authentication (which is good imho), it should cost 40 times less, and cover half of the populate for the end of December (ok we're in Italy, so I don't really hope they'll be so fast!)...in short I think that maybe they're not doing such a bad thing!

yep
Apple did not patent multitouch, in fact they can't since the hardware isn't invented by them.
And multitouch is actually quite old, so Apple patented multitouch gestures instead and/or patent implementations of multitouch but not the multitouch itself. Like using multitouch for vending machines(already implemented, no idea if it is patented) or multitouch for TV so you can share half the screen with your siblings or multitouch your microwave oven so you can do some gestures like pinching sets the timer for pizza XD

So one can actually use a multitouch screen and not do much cause apple patented multitouch gestures >.<

Here are some things you can implement even without multitouch

Note: HTC Touch keyboard fails
Some interfaces isn't meant for thumb usage (It is a windows mobile)

Thanks Kagnon for let me see this nice video... HTC is interesting and seems to work fine... this is my first approach to this monster machines.

This is just for general culture because I already have a PDA and I'm more in MP4 stuff, I mean more on music n' videos than browsing the net and keeping my contacts in my MP4, even less in taking photos or videos with the camera as I already have a digital camera.

HTC also makes cell phones calls really? well I do have a cell phone already

What really impressed me that all this technologies than have been in the market for a while in cell phones and PDAs, like touch flow, multi touch or whatever is that all of this... is claimed by Apple as its properties !!!

And that iPhone fans that watched the video are insulting HTC calling it crap or whatever in order to show how big is their device

Indeed is iPhone the king of all cell phones, PDAs, MP4, web navigators , etc etc etc ???
