This is the HTC Surround based on the Windows Phone 7 OS and prominently features a slide-out speaker array (feels a bit stiff though) for virtual surround sound with Dolby Mobile and SRS WOW HD audio enhancement features. Other notable features include a kickstand for hands-free viewing and a Sound Enhancer App with equalizer presets. Screen size is 3.8 inches across and has a 480 x 800 pixels (WVGA) resolution. Naturally, it uses a 1GHz processor, has 16GB internal storage and comes with a 5MP camera sensor.

We also had a go at the Samsung Focus, a very similar cousin to the Omnia 7. Just as expected, performance is good all around and was responsive in our trials.

We just had to check out how our site handles on the new phone.

On to new AIO PCs, Sony updated its VAIO L with this touch PC and HDTV. Screen size is at 24 inches across while the tech specs include the new Core i5-2410M processor, 4GB RAM, 500GB storage and comes with Dolby Home Theater technology.

Here's Acer Aspire's Z5761, a 23-inch AIO machine with a Sandy Bridge Core i7 processor, 16GB RAM, 1.5TB of storage and also comes with Dolby Home Theater technology. The design is a hit or miss thing, depending on individuals.
