If you are a user of this fine Windows launcher, you might want to get your upgrade as soon as possible. One of the new features added is the integration with other VITO applications. If you are using SMS-Chat and FunContact, tapping on text messaging icon or the call log will bring you to the respective programs. It seems that you will be experiencing the Windows Mobile interface and less which is not really a bad thing. There are other changes as well included so do download and check it out for yourself.

MSN Direct Is Only For Windows Standard
If you read yesterday’s news, you might have heard about MSN Direct. Thanks to spmwinkel’s comment, he has rightly pointed out that the application is only made for Windows Standard. Then again, it is a Technology Preview application so support for Windows Professional might come at a later time.
Samsung Integrates 3D Graphics Acceleration
Thinks might be looking up for Eten who uses the Samsung chip in its devices because the upcoming S3C6410 will now come with 3D acceleration and hardware support for the H.264 and MPEG4 codecs, among many others of course. Clocked at 667MHz (which is the same as the one in the upcoming Glofiish V900), no word yet has been released as to when this chip will hit the market but when it does, VGA slowdown on Glofiish devices would be a thing of the past.

Bluetooth To Work With WiFi
I am not sure exactly how this would function and if it would be a winner or just cause more problems though the potential does seem promising. I am not really much of a Bluetooth user, being my only interaction with it is when I used a bluetooth headset and my iGo keyboard. But I guess for users out thee who rely heavily on this technology for data transfer, this might be really great news.

T-Mobile US To Turn On 3G
Still on T-Mobile and this time, it’s something that I have been waiting for: 3G. T-Mobile has already rolled out 10 000 base stations for 3G (no idea where they are) and will be rolling out another 15 000 middle of the year. If this all goes according to plan (and I hope it does), then T-Mobile (US) would have the best 3G coverage in US. Now the only question is when will they turn it on? [via MoDaCo]
