I want this new device, the Touch Diamond from HTC!
The fact that this device has VGA resolution, a GPS chipset, and 192MB of DDR SDRAM is absolutely kick-ass! The 4GB of internal storage infers this product is meant to have a Multimedia capability that should rival the iPhone. You can see all the details at their new device website, including some YouTube videos that leave me drooling every time.
I copied the specs below, because I find it rather mysterious that several details are left out, or are covered in generic terms.
Specifically, the fact that there appears to be no external memory slots on this device for SD Cards or otherwise…
Additionally, the GPS section says merely "GPS and A-GPS ready", which tells us nothing about the GPS chipset and standard that they are going to be following. I have a lot of respect for SiRFStar and their SiRFStar III chipset, so I am hoping this will be the chipset that is eventually chosen for this device.
