What is SuperLame?

Have you ever wanted to add a caption to a picture? What about making a comic out of your photos? Well, SuperLame created a web tool that let’s you do exactly that.

My Gears – Some Quick Pics on the HTC Touch Diamond – Day 1

Still spending much time trying to get familiar with the Diamond. Took some side-by-side comparison pics for now, review will have to come in a bit later.

From left to right, HTC Touch; the HTC Touch Diamond, the HTC Touch Cruise and the iPhone. Noted the glare off the phone screen, the HTC Touch Diamond still have the best readability from the lightings flare, I assume similar results from outdoors.

From top to bottom, the HTC Touch, the HTC Touch Diamond, the HTC Touch Cruise and the iPhone on the bottom.

HTC Touch Diamond and Cruise on side-to side. Notice the screen a lot more crisp and sharp, tell you what, the VGA screen on the Touch Diamond rocks.

A side pic comparison with the HTC Diamond in front, and the HTC Touch Cruise at the back, the Diamond is so much thinner and sleeker. Pure art.

My Day 1 conclusion, the Touch Cruise is gonna go.
