Hasta La Gadget!

Looks like Microsoft wasn’t able to keep all the cameras away from the Zune HD at the gdgt launch party in San Francisco after all — we just got tipped this video of a hands-on demo showing the interface and media playback. The OLED screen looks lovely as always, and the UI appears to be fluid and smooth, but we’re a little bummed that the multitouch browser doesn’t make an appearance. Still, it’s definitely intriguing stuff — hop on past the break to check it out.

As far as we’re concerned, Nokia’s 5530 XpressMusic far and away out-classes its more expensive older brother the 5800, even if it is lacking in the 3G department. British phone retailer mobiles.co.uk thought it best to tease us with an unboxing video of their own, along with some quick impressions of the touchscreen device. It’s certainly a looker, and a sleek device they’re pretty confident will do well. Some of the S60 5th edition additions are very welcomed, such as the new scrolling contacts bar, but for better and for worse (mostly worse), it’s still S60. See it for yourself after the break, and if you wish really hard, there’s a good chance this still won’t get 3G, but at least you can say you tried.

Decent design, nice specs, bargain price, and a pretty poor chance of coming stateside? Yep, this must be RAmos. Its latest touchscreen media device, the T11 RK, sports the same Rockchip RK2806 processor as the Terminator T12, and also has a 5-inch, 800 x 480 display, 8GB internal memory, 720p TV out, FM radio, and support for numerous codecs including H.264 HD, DivX, XviD, MPG, and FLV. As you can tell from the picture above, it’s also wielding the ever-important clock and calendar widgets, as well as a dock with some all-too-familiar, borderline KIRF inspiration, although judging by the other pictures, the UI is overall pretty classy. If you find yourself in China, this baby can be yours for 699 Yuan, or about $102 in US currency, and if not, feel free to live vicariously through the video after the break.

Here’s an interesting case. A new Motorola GPS unit, the MOTONAV GC550, has popped up in a filing to the FCC. It’s got external photos, a full manual, all the relevant tests, the works — and yet, somehow as of this writing, it seems to have never been mentioned anywhere on the internet, at least as far as Google, Bing, and Twitter are concerned. From what we can glean from the manual, the touchscreen device sports 3D mapping, voice commands, Bluetooth pairing with your phone for hands-free use, a microSD slot (presumably for updates like the previous models), Google local search, and information on weather, traffic, and flights. Not contained in these unearthed documents, unfortunately, is price or release date. Come on, Moto, don’t keep us waiting long.
