O2 have just announced the up and coming availability of their new Joggler touchscreen device which is billed as a ‘first-of-its-kind device which will transform the way families manage their busy lives’ though, in fairness, bears many similarities to the previously featured iRiver Wave-Home in serving as a multimedia, internet and communications hub that O2 describe as being designed to ‘keep the whole family connected’.
The O2 Joggler comes a with 7″ touchscreen and connects to your home broadband either via its Ethernet port or wirelessly and, apart from serving as a digital organiser capable of storing birthdays, appointments and important dates which you need to be reminded of (via text messages to your phone as well as via the units display) also offers calendar and alarm clock functionality, digital audio and video playback (either directly from the device or streamed via your home network) as well as serving as a digital photo frame, basic gaming device and, thanks to its internet connectivity, can also display weather, news and sport (via Sky News) and traffic information though there’s no indication as to whether it can display user defined RSS feeds.

O2 Xda II Mini
If you want a smartphone but want to avoid unsightly pocket bulges, you could do well to consider O2's slimmed down XDA II Mini.You can't call a phone (or indeed, anything) a "Mini" without it being small, and indeed at 58 by 108 by 18.1 millimetres, the XDA II Mini is a small smart phone, although of course it's still only moderately sized from the phone side of the equation. In visual terms it's not a great departure from the XDA II itself; you've got a directional button at the bottom of the phone, surrounded by four selection buttons (including the two call buttons), and a 2.8-inch display with a total resolution of 240 by 320 pixels. At around 150 grams, it's much lighter than the XDA II or XDA IIs, but you'd expect that from a smaller smart phone.
Features
The XDA II Mini runs Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition for Pocket PC Phone Edition -- try saying that three times fast -- on an Intel PXA 272 processor running at 416MHz. With 64MB of Flash ROM and an equal quantity of RAM, it's heavy on the storage side for a phone, but if you're looking for serious PDA usage, you may want to avail yourself of the SD/MMC card slot that sits atop the phone.
Running a variant of the Pocket PC OS means it's preinstalled with the most common PDA applications from the Pocket PC side of the fence -- Word, Excel, PowerPoint Viewer and so on -- as well as some custom O2 applications. Like the other XDA units, the Mini sports an integrated digital camera, and in keeping with the best that we're seeing in mobile phone cameras at the time of writing, it's a 1.3 megapixel unit, which should put it just into the acceptable and printable category.
As a phone, the XDA II Mini is tri-band GSM and GPRS capable, and as it's a smart phone with visual keyboard facilities, creating and sending SMS and MMS messages is a snap. It's also Bluetooth capable, although that's not the only way to synchronise it with a suitable PC; a USB cable is also provided.
O2 unveils Flame
British communications company O2 unveiled its first batch of 3G devices for 2007 over the weekend at Gitex 2006 in Dubai, intent on growing its position in the smartphone market throughout the Middle East, Europe and Asia.
O2 claims the Xda Flame will be the world's first dual processor PDA-phone, powered by a 520MHz Intel Xscale PXA 270 processor and combined with Nvidia's GoForce 5500 chip for graphics. O2 seems to have movie playback in its cross-hairs as the Flame sports a dedicated TV output -- however, we're not sure what type of connector is involved at this stage. Similar in design to the O2 Xda Atom Exec, the Flame increases the screen size to 3.6 inches (9cm) and carries a whopping 2GB of flash ROM in addition to 64MB of memory.
The same 520MHz processor provides the grunt for the O2 Xda Zinc, too, but there's no dedicated graphics chip on this model. Its slide-out QWERTY keyboard reminds us of the cancelled O2 XDA Mini Pro, but this model bumps the flash ROM up to 128MB, while having 64MB of RAM.
The third device in the trio is the candybar-shaped Graphite, somewhat reminiscent of previous O2 Windows smartphones such as the Xphone IIm, but without the dedicated music shortcuts. It's not quite as speedy as its PDA-style brethren but still supports video calling, Web browsing and push e-mail.
All models have built-in 2-megapixel cameras, support for 802.11b/g wireless networking, and are expected to be available locally in February next year.
O2 XDA IQ With Wi-Fi
Looks like the much anticipated O2 XDA IQ is going to hit the market very soon. For those who are not aware the XDA 1Q is a state of the art smart phone which is also wi-fi enabled! So you may wonder what’s new.? Well unlike other wi-fi enabled phones this one isn’t bulky at all and sports a very stylish and sleek design. Weighing just about 110 grams, the O2 XDA IQ includes integrated wireless LAN support and Bluetooth. Other features include infrared, a 1.3-megapixel camera, a mini SD slot, quad-band, GPRS, EDGE and Wi-Fi connectivity.
The O2 XDA IQ runs on the Windows Mobile 5 platform and receiving and sending emails is also a child’s play. However the only disappointing feature found on the phone is its screen which displays 64k colors. But hey nothing in life is perfect right? No word on availability or pricing yet but we will keep you posted.
O2 XDA Orbit
Although the O2 product portfolio is not too much, but there are some products that need to be tested and feature facilities, the O2 XDA Orbit. This is because O2 XDA Orbit are equipped with many features that you must try, because there are some additional applications O2 XDA Orbit itself to facilitate the exploration of this product.
Design
As in several other series that O2, the physical does not mean that on O2 XDA Orbit. This is intended as one of the characteristics of this product. Equipped with facilities that are using touch screen technology, and the screen size with approximately 2.8 inch wide, this gadget is able to display an image that is quite clear.
Screen
With the support of the display system using TFT LCD, the display produced by this screen is optimal, especially if it is used to display images with high resolution. Where is the screen resolution generated by the touch screen technology is able to produce a resolution of 240 x 320 pixels.
Office facilities
O2 XDA Orbit is complete enough to support office work. Some applications that are installed on the O2 XDA Orbit, such as push email, outlook email, predictive text, and also some other applications such as calendar, calculator, and several other applications.
Connectivity
PDA Phone this connection can be through a Bluetooth network, WLAN, GPRS, and USB. So if you want to email can be done anywhere and anytime with the GPRS facility. And if you want to connect this device with other equipment, for example, to move data between devices, you can use the Bluetooth feature on the O2 XDA Orbit.
Camera
Quality camera that is owned by O2 XDA Orbit 2 Mpix is, equipped with supporting facilities, such as zoom, flash, and also a video recorder. At the O2 XDA Orbit is not available photo editing features that are usually found on digital cameras in general. Therefore if you want to take a picture, we should set the object image, and then we save the results into external memory.
Multimedia
For the features associated with the multimedia facilities, O2 XDA Orbit is already equipped with some applications, such as MP3 player, FM radio, and voice recording. For the MP3 player itself, you can save to your collection several songs, though not too large a capacity is provided, this is because the internal memory is not sufficient. While the FM Radio feature can store up to about 50 radio frequencies, with a wide range.
O2 - XDA Orbit
Not so long ago we ran a review of T-Mobile's MDA Compact III (you can read it here). It was the first connected Pocket PC from any UK network operator to carry a built-in GPS antenna, and is optionally available with the CoPilot navigation software from ALK.
Well, T-Mobile has been trumped by O2, whose latest addition to the XDA range, the Orbit, also has a built in GPS antenna and comes with CoPilot. The trumping doesn't come from being second, but from the fact that O2 has seen fit to include Wi-Fi where T-Mobile does not.
This is the major specifications difference between the two devices, which are made by newly established source of Windows Mobile Pocket PCs and Smartphones, HTC, the company that has been building hand-helds for other companies for some years.
While their physical designs are different, both the MDA and XDA are small and pocket-friendly, with the XDA Orbit weighing 129g and measuring 108mm tall, 58mm wide and 16.8mm thick.

O2 XM music phone
First UK Review Intel's XScale processors have traditionally been incorporated into PDAs and smart phones, and promoted by the chip giant as the ideal CPU to handle the heavy lifting these devices' operating systems require. But a few years back, Intel decided it ought to widen XScale's target market. The result was 'Manitoba', a feature-phone platform designed to show handset makers that XScale is just as relevant to lower-end devices as it is to high-end ones. Manitoba was launched early 2003, and Intel named Orange as a carrier as a partner.
Two-and-a-half years on, and Manitoba has finally arrived as a shipping product, though with the O2 logo rather than Orange's. O2 calls the phone the XM and is pitching it as an entertainment device, with an emphasis on music.
The XM's box sports a cunning sliding mechanism - pull out on side tray and a second tray slides automatically out of the other end. Remove the XM and you'll see it's a typical clamshell phone that might have come from Samsung, LG or any number of vendors. It's not unattractive, but neither does it stand out - ideal for carrier-branding, in other words.
Closed, the tri-band XM presents a 1.3 megapixel camera and an 65,000-colour external display. On the right-hand side of the base sits an SD card slot, protected with an easy-to-remove rubber cover, though getting the card in and out is difficult. On the other side is the similarly covered earphone slot, plus Play/Pause, volume and Music Player activation buttons.
The tip of the lid fits tightly against the handset's body, so it's almost impossible to open one-handed. The only place a chin or lip - think phone in one hand, luggage in the other - can get a purchase on the lid is along the side. Inside there's a very nice 176 x 220, 262,000-colour LCD, backlit keypad and navigation cluster. The central OK button doubles up as the menu activator. It's surrounded by a circular four-way control, which is itself encircled by buttons to active the two on-screen items, call make and break buttons, a Clear key, a second Music button (this one with an earphones icon rather than a musical note) and another for O2 Active.
All the keys are comfortable to use, and the proprietary OS that ships with the device is basic but straightforward and responsive. My only quibble is that you can't change the two on-screen options - Camera and Contacts - to, say, Messaging and Calendar. T9 is available for text entry, but it's pleasingly turned off by default. Using the keypad to type displays all the characters available on the key you've just pressed, making it easy to select the correct character without having to take your eyes off the screen. A nice touch.
