iPhone 3G Diamond studded now, Sprint’s HTC touch Diamond for jailbreakers?

iphone 3G Diamond and Sprint’s HTC touch Diamond are two different news, but sailing across the internet together. That can be another news. Is it PR feed?

Windows Mobile 6.1 smartphone officially Sprint family; HTC Touch ProOkay, lets take the second story first. The Wall Steer Journal has reviewed the Sprint HTC Touch Diamond today and believe me, it’s more of a knock of Windows Mobile than the phone itself. And as HTC is trying hard to wrap up the previously unsuccessful OS’s like features, conservatively can be considered it succeeds in some regard, but mostly falls short.

One of its weakest links were the phone’s incapability to camouflage Windows Mobile’s flaws. The TouchFLO 3D software and touch screen look good but that alone can not save it from criticism flowing in from different corners. Windows Mobile menu is not much user friendly and constantly disrupts the sleek interface.

The another news, is about iPhone 3G and its new avatar as customized diamond wrapped package. One Knalihs Athem has paid to stitch 475 little diamonds onto the iPhone 3G. Forget usability, the first criteria of a true mobile phone. Its better off in the hands of a lazy rich housewife than a busy executive on the go.

AshleyMadison Super Bowl commercial banned: Extramarital affairs too racy?

AshleyMadison GoDaddy superbowl commercial racy ad banned rehjected pic photo snap
AshleyMadison.com’s superbowl commercial has been rejected by NFL. You may or may not heard of the website before but many married people do have.  Ashley Madison offers its matchmaking services to married people looking to have an illicit affair. The Canadian company tried to insert a print ad for its services in the 2009 Super Bowl commercial. The ad shows a sweaty woman in a tiny tank top in a suggestive posture and asking “Who are you doing after the game?” It’s got lot of publicity last month for its so called innovative services. And mind you, it will keep getting more.

The NFL team has rejected the commercial even before seeing it when it realized what the Web site does, according to CNBC.com.  “After realizing what the site was, the sales rep called back and told the company there was a mistake and that his company could not sell an ad to the site,” NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy said.

Ashley Madison president however does not agree with NFL management team. He has his own reasons, after all isn’t he only delivering only what all of us want so badly in life. He said, “I find the rejection to be ridiculous given that a huge percentage of the NFL’s marketing content is for products like alcohol, which they sell in their stadiums, promote on their air and have in the game program. That’s a product that literally kills tens of thousands of people each year,” he said, adding, “We don’t intend to let this pass. The NFL fan base is our core audience and we will find a way to let them know about the existence of this service and let them decide if it’s something for them.” Link

“Launched in 2006, Established 1971 is a luxury-inspired metro-urban division within the Rockport Co.,” Rockport said in its release. “The collection seamlessly meshes street-inspired style with advanced technology to provide shoes that are not only on-trend and stylish, but also offer the support, stability, and overall comfort that have defined the Rockport brand for nearly 40 years.”
