There are over a billion websites out there but not all of them are written or presented in English. While there are measures to help in the translation needs of surfers, one would need an Internet connection to make this understandable. But thanks to the PROMT German to English Text Translator, you just have to download it to you iPhone or iPod Touch and you easily read what exactly you have to understand.
Especially for people who travel, access to an Internet connection is normally hard to find. Hence, you can imagine the load that this new PROMT software takes out of your daily expenses. It can translate simple text all the way to websites without compromising the actual source.
PROMT German-English and English-German translators are now available from the App Store for EUR 4.99 each.

Earlier today we reported to you that Nokia posted some pretty frightening numbers for for their Q2 profits and it seems that Sony Ericsson is in the same boat.
As a result of the shakey economy, SE was said to have shipped 13.8 million phones in Q2 of this year compared to the 24.4 million they shipped in Q2 of 2008. Furthermore, sales were down to €1.7 billion this year compared to last year’s €2.8 billion. To top it all off, they lost around €213 million in the same quarter.
President of Sony Ericsson, Dick Komiyama, comments on the hardships:
As expected, the second quarter was challenging and we still believe the remainder of the year will be difficult for Sony Ericsson. Our focus remains on bringing the company back to profitability and growth as quickly as possible, and our performance is starting to improve due to our cost reduction activities. The new product portfolio that integrates communications, entertainment and social media applications should contribute to healthier topline development when shipments start later this year. We remain confident that the actions we are taking will further improve our financial situation and strengthen Sony Ericsson’s competitiveness.
Let’s hope that Sony Ericsson, along with Nokia, return to greatness sooner rather than later.

For those of you who didn’t know, Nokia has an in-house operating system that currently co-exists with their more talked about Symbian; Maemo. You may recognize the name as Nokia currently ships a few internet tablets, namely the Nokia 770, N800 and N810, that run the Maemo OS. However, unlike Android, the operating system hasn’t strayed far from it’s developer.
Well today, Optima is proud to announce that they will be the first to bring a non-Nokia branded device, entitled the OP5-E, to market running Maemo. This device features a 4.3-inch resistive touch screen, 806MHz processor, 128MB RAM/256 MB ROM, a microSDHC slot, GPS, EV-DO, WiFi, Bluetooth 2.0, 3.2MP camera and a 2600 mAh battery.
While it’s not currently a phone, despite featuring a design closely resembling the iPhone, the OP5-E is said to be gaining phone and SMS at some point in the future.

Verizon has recently announced that they have recently released the much sought after firmware update for the Samsung Omnia that will unlock the even more sought after GPS unlock.
The Omnia has been a decent contender in the smartphone market ever since its creation with its Windows Mobile 6.1 OS, 624MHz processor, 128MB RAM/256MB ROM, HSDPA, WiFi, Bluetooth and a 5MP camera but without GPS it was overshadowed by a lot of phones with it.
Now that the phone has had its GPS functionality enabled it can finally recieve the credit it deserves.

We’ve seen the phone itself and we’ve seen its rather sexy Sense UI, but we haven’t seen is a proper unboxing of the device. What you see above is just that, an unboxing of the highly anticipated HTC Hero.
As you can see the unboxing features a pretty bland white box which is likely to chance once the handset hits retail.
After the HTC Hero’s unboxing, Android Community played around with the phone and came to a conclusion, “It’s perhaps the best Android device to-date”. That sure sounds promising.
UPDATE: There was a problem with the video so head here to watch the unboxing.
