Once again delaying my tour of a particular stretch of the coast of Tenerife due to a lack of aerial imagery that I can use, Video Podcast 3 is similar to Video Podcast 2 in that it involves an early version of an Android port on a Windows Mobile device. Video Podcast 2 featured touchphone from 2008 (the HTC Touch Diamond), whereas Video Podcast 3 features a touchphone from 2009, the Snapdragon-powered HTC HD2. If the Touch Diamond could be considered a sibling of devices such as the Hero, the HD2 is a sibling of the EVO 4G, Nexus One, Incredible and Desire.

Anyway, that's enough preamble. This video podcast, like the last one, is more rushed than my first one, and I make use of music I didn't write in this one - Hiding in a Shadow, White Evening and Born Already are by remaxim of ccMixter.org though, of course, the Emptosoft Background music and Emptosoft Logo from previous video podcasts are my own.

The video podcast is titled "Android on a HTC HD2" and is 10 minutes and 51 seconds long (I have a reasonable play with Android). The Android ROM I use is Android 2.1 with HTC Sense, and can be downloaded here, and requires the automatic backlight adjustment in Windows Mobile to be turned off as well as a T-Mobile US-based HD2 ROM to work properly/at all. If you want to keep an eye on progress with Android or Linux in general on the HD2, point your browser here. Download links:

- MP4 - Small (11.0MB)

So, I've finally got around to doing my second video podcast, about two years and one month since I did my first one. My plans for one on Tenerife are currently on hold until I can get some good, copyright-free aerial images of relevant areas. Anyway, this video podcast shows Android running on my Touch Diamond. Here's a short preview:


The full version of the video podcast is 5 minutes and 23 seconds long, and there are three versions available for download:
- Windows Media Video - Small (7.51MB)
- Windows Media Video - Large (22.22MB)
- MP4 - In case you have some objection to Windows Media Video (7.18MB)

For those of you who want the technical details and/or want to try it out yourself:
- HTC Touch Diamond ROM version: 2.03.405.2 WWE (version 2.03.405.3 was released on the 27th of February, which shows you how long I've been working on this video podcast for).
- Android source: the alternative version, here.

The purpose of this post is to announce the availability of my first video podcast. In this video podcast I go through my first few renders with Terragen 2 Technology Preview. The podcast is 4 minutes and 30 seconds long and there are three versions available for download:
- Windows Media Video - Small (8.08MB)
- Windows Media Video - Large (25.73MB)
- MP4 - iPod version (6.60MB)

A video podcast feed, intended specifically for iTunes (and therefore using the iPod version of the video podcast), will be made eventually (it will only take me a few minutes to do when I have the time).
