Coming hot on the heels of today’s announcement of no less than three new handsets from HTC is the glossy promo videos.
They’re all short and snappy (we’re talking a mere 45 seconds a piece) and they all come accompanied by the usual shuffly funky backbeat, so kick off your shoes and soak ‘em in…
Quietly doing its thing above our heads since construction began in 1998 is the International Space Station (ISS), an orbiting research facility scheduled for completion by 2011.
Scheduled to remain in operation until at least 2015 – and probably five years after that – you can now take a tour through the station in High Definition video, thanks to a fabulous seven minute walk-through that’s just been posted up.
If you enjoyed Google’s first video about the making of their new Nexus One phone, then you’ll be pleased to hear that two more instalments are available for your viewing pleasure.

The Android operating system may seem to be totally overshadowed by the iPhone when it comes to gaming, but there’s perhaps more high quality games available than you think.
To show off the platform’s abilities as a top notch gaming platform, AndroidHD has put together a ten minute video showcasing no less than fifty games – click on for the video and full listing:
Microsoft’s hideously basic MSPaint program has been challenging artists for years, but Youtube user scorpiongold has probably taken the free drawing program to its absolute limit.
Spending four years battling away with the extremely limited range of drawing tools on offer, Mr Scorpiongold has posted up a video of his 2.5m x 2.3m (ahem) ‘masterpiece’ on YouTube.
We’ve already published YouTube’s list of their most watched videos of 2009, but social bookmarking site AddThis has chipped in with their own list of their most-shared articles from sites using their service.
Their listing shows something called ‘Santa Yourself’ at the top of the list (sorry, but we couldn’t be bothered to look it up), followed by a thigh-slapping musical rendition of a thunderstorm from the Kim Komando Show (whatever that is).
Here’s a pleasant pair of distractions for a Tuesday morning – two amusingly drawn ‘pen and paper’ YouTube animations, created by a Russian team called Xpycteam. The home-made sound effects are quite good fun too.
What better way for 2009 to be celebrated online than by a YouTube video made on Google Wave and produced by an interactive design company who clearly hope that the thing will go viral and boost their profile.
In a few hours we’ll know if Simon Cowell’s plans to shunt his ghastly brand of ultra bland pop into the top of the charts every Christmas has succeeded or not.
We’re hoping that the campaign to break the X Factor’s run of festive number ones is successful and Rage Against The Machine’s “Killing In The name Of” hits the hallowed number one slot. Fingers crossed!
While you’re waiting, here’s a great parody video – don’t miss the Susan Boyle bit after 0.53secs!
An astonishing sci-fi trailer, shot with a budget of just $300 and posted on YouTube, has swiftly landed its creator a $30 million Hollywood movie deal.
Producer Fede Alvarez’s incredibly slick video – “Ataque de Panico” (Panic Attack) – shows giant robots invading the city of Montevideo with all the destructive force of lager-fuelled Millwall fans gatecrashing a rival’s pub.
YouTube has released details of the most popular videos on their site for 2009, and topping the list is ‘Britain’s Got Talent’ runner-up Susan Boyle.
The unlikely chart-topper’s rendition of ‘I Dreamed a Dream’ has now been watched by an astonishing 120m viewers worldwide, and scored more views than next three most-watched videos combined.
And that’s a lorra lorra views.
If your poor piddling netbook is flapping, floundering and becoming formidably flummoxed and foxed when it’s asked to play back YouTube videos, help is at hand in the shape of a new lightweight version of the video sharing site.
Appropriately called Feather, the stripped out version dumps the ability to view videos in High Quality mode, and shunts out most of the commenting and sharing options to give you a lean’n'mean interface.
We generally don’t associate The Sun with subtle wit, but their viral ad released as part of their 40th anniversary celebrations really is a rather good affair.
Claiming the newspaper to be ‘the original handheld device,’ the cheeky viral created by Glue London spoofs the iconic Apple iPhone ads, with a copy of The Sun being handled in much the same way as an iPhone, backed by a similar jaunty piano soundtrack and assured voice-over.
