Based on illustrations by Rose O’Neill that appeared in Ladies’ Home Journal in 1909, the Kewpie Dolls have now been turned into cell phone straps by the Japanese. Their sick imagination has no limits! Read the rest of this entry »
UMPC with sliding keyboard…or not? No matter what, the Gigabyte M704 looks good, and features a couple of goodies! The autonomy is set at a “short” 3 hours, the whole thing weighs 780g and 190×121x30mm in case you want to know how big that would be in your bag!
The brand will announce three new handsets and a range of Bluetooth accessories. As reported yesterday, there will be two new Walkman phones and one phone in the emotional design category. Check out the details.
It’s hard to believe but it’s been 10 years since the first Nokia Communicator was announced in 1997. The E90 is the eleventh Communicator model, following the 9000, 9000i, 9110, 9110i, 9210, 9210i, 9290, 9500, 9300 and 9300i. The word “communicator” was made up by Nokia and identified a whole family or devices armed with QWERTY-keyboard. That didn’t hamper other manufacturers in their attempts to position their solutions after this device and name their products in a resembling way.
Nokia N82 is the hottest device to followup the N73. Similar to the N81, it has quad-band GSM and 2100 HSDPA, BT 2.0 (w/ A2DP), WiFi (b/g w/ uPnP), but also adds built-in GPS, TV-out, FM Radio, and a MicroSD slot.
LG is keen to point out that the Viewty is ‘the complete camera phone’. And to be fair, it’s hard to argue with that. Packing a massive 5-megapixels to rival the N95 and Samsung G600 and a stack of features you’re more likely to find on your common or garden point and shoot, it’s more like a phone camera than a camera phone. LG said that the LG KU990 Viewty will be available on all major networks. Pricing is yet to be confirmed but it’s likely to be free on a monthly contract of around £30 to £40 per month.
Another high-end camera phone from Samsung seems to be under way, unofficial information has leaked. The Samsung G800 slider has a 5 megapixel auto focus camera with 3x optical zoom and is likely the successor of Samsung G600, which was recently announced.
The new Sony Ericsson W960, recently announced , is the new top of the line Walkman phone. Headline features include 8GB of flash memory (700 albums, 8000 songs), UMTS (3G) and WiFi connectivity and an autofocus 3.2 megapixel camera. The W960’s software platform is UIQ 3.0 on Symbian OS 9.1. The W960 weighs in at 119g with dimensions of 109×55x16 mm and has a monoblock form factor.”You couldn’t ask for a better music mix of high performance media player and intuitive phone. The touchscreen is complemented by a regular keyboard and the phone itself is amplified by the Media Manager programme and the many music accessories. The days of taking an MP3 player, a camera and a phone with you when you leave the house are definitely over,” Nicklas Sivander, Product Manager for the W960 Walkman phone said.
Nokia today introduced the Nokia N810 Internet Tablet, signifying a new phase in portable internet communication. Sporting Bluetooth 2.0 and Wi-Fi 802.11b/g connectivity, a slide-out QWERTY keyboard and a full-fledged web browser, there’s only one thing missing: WiMAX. In the meantime, the N810’s Wi-Fi connectivity will provide Internet access through hotspots as well as home and office networks, while the Bluetooth 2.0 support provides Internet access through cellular data networks when connected to phones with Dial-up networking (DUN) support.
Nokia has just been getting crazier with each N-series handset they announce. Each new handset tends to have a sleeker design then the previous model as well as a higher price tag. The N82 is no exception to this. With 3G, a 5-megapixel camera, 320×240 TFT display, built-in WiFi, and Bluetooth, this phone is looking to be absolutely killer.
