HTC continues the Windows Smartphone barrage with the introduction of the new HTC S740 side-ways slider. Although similar in looks to the HTC Touch Diamond and Touch Pro, the S740 does not feature a touch-sensitive display. HTC instead opted to go with a numeric keypad as well as a sliding QWERTY keyboard - catering to folks who would rather have a real keyboard than a virtual one on-screen.
The HTC S740 has the following specs:
- Qualcomm MSM7225 528MHz processor
- Windows Mobile 6.1 Standard OS
- 256MB ROM, 256 MB RAM
- Measures 116.3 x 43.4 x 16.3 mm
- Weighs 140 grams
- 2.4 inch TFT LCD display with backlit LEDs and QVGA resolution
- HSDPA/WCDMA: 900/2100 MHz for Europe
- GSM/GPRS/EDGE: Quad-band 850, 900, 1800, 1900 MHz

- 3.2 megapixel camera with fixed focus

Volvo’s name has long since been connected with safety, and the firm has recently announced a few new features for the S80, XC70, and V70 that aim to keep the link alive. Among the new systems that should be available “at the end of 2007″ is the (tweaked) Collision Warning with Auto Brake — which automatically activates the brakes if the driver doesn’t react to the warnings — and the Driver Alert Control for monitoring the behavior of the vehicle and suggesting that the motorist take a coffee break if there’s just too much swayin’ going on. Additionally, Volvo will be adding the slightly more common adaptive cruise control and distance alert features to the aforementioned cars, but there’s no word on whether NAV-equipped rides will route themselves to the nearest java shop if the pictured message is forced to appear.
