Sony Ericsson C905 Hits The Web
Written by Maxit   

Sony Ericcsiom C905 

What looks to be one of the most exciting handsets of 2008 is nearly upon us. Scheduled for a fourth quarter release, the Sony Ericsson C905 cyber shot is now officially on the map at Sony. Why should you be excited? Well the camera packs a 8 megapixel camera lens on the rear of the phone with autofocus, image stablisation, face detection (celebrites watch out) and a xenon flash - serious photography fire power for a phone. With this kind of picture quality you can do prints upto A3 sizes without much trouble. Nice. It's also got video stabilizer as standard so it will be perfect for the youtube and myblog generation.

The 2.4 inch QVGA scratch resistant mineral glass TFT display looks to a winner too. And if you feel like sharing your photos round at your mates, you can plug in the optional TV out cable that's in the pipeline. The connections continue with the latest bluetooth standards, USB 2.0 for high speed transfers, built in GPS with support for A-GPS so you can geo-tag your photos and everything can be synchronized up with Exchange Activesync.

Stats for the Sony C905 stack up at 104 x 49 x 18 millimetres and it weighs in at around 136 grams. Colour options include copper gold, ice silver and night black. The bundle will include a 2GB memory stick with battery life good for 380 hours on standby and 9 hours in use.

Samsung G800 - phone or camera?
Written by John M   

 

Mobile phones are becoming more and more like digital photo cameras, and I'm not just talking about their technical specifications, but about their appearence. Take a look at the picture and try to see a phone there.

This is the G800 model from Samsung, wich features a 5 megapixels autofocus camera, xenon flash and a 3x optical zoom. Turning to the telephone aspect of the product, let's mention something like HSDPA connectivity, Bluetooth and stereo speakers.

The other mobile Samsung is releasing soon, is the F700, which doesn't have the stereo speakers, a 3x optical zoom or Bluetooth, but it features a QWERTY keyboard and a 2.8" touchscreen. It shares the rest of the G800's other characteristics.

iPhone Features Engadged
Written by John M   

If you weren't on the line waiting to buy one, here's a short list of features which the iPhone has... or not:

    - The mobile version of OS X or whatever it is the iPhone runs takes up 700MB of the device's capacity.     - There's no way to cut, copy, or paste text!
    - No A2DP support. That, friends, is such a huge bummer right there.
    - Sorry, music can't be used as a ringtone -- even if it's just a raw MP3. No additional ringtones will be sold at launch.
    - On a PC the iPhone syncs with Outlook for calendars AND addresses! Nice.
    - It supports Exchange in some capacity, according to Walt, but he doesn't exactly say how.

Didn't have enough to make up your mind? Go to Engadget and read the whole list, then.

Apple wants to sell all of their iPhones in one day
Written by John M   

ImageOr at least, they are prepared to ship the 3 million units planned for sale in 2007. "Worried about not being able to grab an iPhone when it launches on June 29? Don’t be. According to BusinessWeek’s sources, Apple plans to have a whopping 3 million iPhones for sale on launch day, dwarfing nearly all other consumer device launches in history."
With an entry price of $499, Apple still believes they will have sold 10 million units by the end of 2008 (40 million in 2009). A rather optimistic forecast considering that, by that time, you will be able to buy a much cheaper clone that doesn't force you to use their propietary iTunes format (which is far worse than Ogg).

I have never been much into mobile phones myself, but this one is so much more than a phone (closer to a PDA, actually), looks so cool and has such a big touchscreen...

Blank Mobile Phone

Blank Mobile by Chris Kujawski
Whatever takes your mood
If you thought the Apple iPhone looked swish with it's touchscreen display, check out the design on the Blank phone by Chris Kujawski. The OLED touchscreen wraps around the entire face of the mobile phone and can take any assortment of skins that allow your mobile to come to life.

Utilizing a flexible Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) touchscreen, BLANK is based on the principle that the device that you carry with you most often should reflect your personality as much as the clothes you wear, car you drive or music you listen to. Since those may evolve from season to season, your phone needs to accommodate that. By providing a 'blank slate' in the form of the OLED touchscreen that wraps the entire front of the phone, you are free to express yourself in any number of ways vby downloading static or even kinetic skins.
