There’s a bit of controversy with regards to the announcement of the HTC HD 2 . It’s quite simple. if the ZuneH D can be considered an iPod Touch killer, then surely HTC’s HD 2 is an iPhone killer. The most obvious the HD2 has over the iPhone is its massive 4.3-inch 800 x 480 touchscreen. This is quite ordinary in the PMP market, but for a cellphone it seems to be a throwback to the era of PDAs.  Of course, the success of the HD2 depends on how good Windows Mobile 6.5 will be.

You may think that once you’ve seen one  building turned into a  massive billboard you’ve seem them all, but that would mean you probably haven’t seen the so-called “Media Facade” now adorning Bayer’s former HQ in Leverkusen, Germany.

The leather-heavy pack will contain a stripe-emblazoned N97 mini with a custom designed Fashion Asia widget and a calf-skin leather case. The whole shebang will come in a leather bound RAOUL box. The production will be limited to just 1000 units (sort of good news for the calves, we suppose), so if you live in Singapore and want to get one, we’d suggest getting a move on: they’re up for pre-order right now for 400 euro — about $589.

We’ve already heard first-hand how Yamaha can make surround sound emerge from a single soundbar, and now the outfit’s wowing again here at CEATEC. It’s latest aural innovation was tucked quietly away within its booth, disguised as an advertorial for the show itself. Essentially, the banner you’re peering at above is a one millimeter thick speaker that’s made from cloth, and it definitely has the potential to revolution billboards and possibly even portable media devices.
