LG Shine

Like the Chocolate, the LG Shine is a slide-design phone, and is very much intended as a fashion statement. Whereas the Chocolate was dark and mysterious, with its hidden touch sensitive keypad, the Shine positively sparkles with light and has a more conventional keypad.

The reason for the name "Shine", is that the phone is highly reflective, having a shiny stainless steel body and a large LCD display that turns into a mirror when not in use. It's definitely a cool-looking phone and one that will attract attention.
The device itself feels sufficiently weighty for such a small phone - with its brushed stainless steel covering, it's little wonder. This helps to make it feel suitably expensive, but considering the small size and minimal thickness it's still a lightweight.The steel covering means it's strong, too - no chance of breaking this phone in two. The construction is perfect and the slide action is well weighted, revealing a gorgeous laser-etched keypad that lights up in blue.

The front mirrored fascia is finished in tough plastic rather than metal (transparent metal is difficult to come by), and despite the delicate appearance of the front screen it's proven rather scratch resistant.The good looks of the handset don't stop at the exterior - the interface is particularly easy to use as well. Navigation is via the nifty scroll bar on the front of the phone, making navigation of the menus relatively easy. It can be a little imprecise at times - sometimes pressing down on the scroll bar to select something can result in moving the cursor to something else - but apart from this it's intuitive and nice to use.

LG has also added a good scroll wheel to the device on the main body, just under the screen. This becomes your main navigational tool, and is an excellent way of finding what you want on the device. It makes a big difference to have this when, say, searching through your contact list.
Other buttons lie along the right-hand side of the phone, where there is a noticeable lack of a ‘cancel-and-exit’ button which came in handy with the LG Chocolate. Now they’ve decided to hide it away on a slide-down keypad, which can be a little fustrating. Nevertheless, the camera and MP3 player now have their separate buttons on the side, which makes it much easier to quickly take a snap.

The LG Shine is equipped with a 2 megapixel camera with autofocus and picture quality generally is decent. There is a lot of graining as expected but at 1600×1200 it will suffice for taking recognisable pictures. The light for the LG Shine it seems has to be activated manually via the menu causing it to stay on constantly and there is no option to have it flash when taking a picture.

In all the LG Shine does many things superbly and gives off the right impression. With a few operating system tweaks, some better themes and better software it could be a serious killer mobile. Instead it ranks highly and would be a mobile to look out for if you are in the market for a simple and elegant mobile.

Sony Cyber-shot DSC-T100

The Sony T100 spices up the ultra-slim digital camera market. It comes with 8.1 megapixels, a 5x optically stabilized zoom lens, face detection, and even high-definition output. The trendy and glittery T100 has an enormous 3-inch LCD screen and automatic exposure modes with a smattering of manual controls that makes it appealing to point-and-shooters. It weighs 6 ounces with the battery and Memory Stick Duo card. There is subtle branding on the front that fits the overall style. The camera is also available in red or black. Slide the front panel down and the camera powers up and you’ll see the flash, lens, mic and AF Illuminator sensor. Of note is the Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar glass that’s a 5x non-protruding optical zoom

The DSC-T100 easily slips into a pocket but make sure there’s no change or keys there to prevent scratching the 3-inch LCD screen on the back. The LCD takes up most of the rear real estate, as you’d imagine. There’s just the wide/tele toggle switch, Menu and Home keys as well as the typical four-way controller with center set key. The top of the camera has a shutter button with power and playback keys angled to the side. The right of the camera has the battery/memory card compartment while the bottom simply has a tripod mount and an input for Sony’s bizarre hydra-headed connector that lets you connect it to a TV using A/V inputs or a computer via USB.

With the Sony Cybershot DSC-T100 shooting in low light doesn’t have to result in blurry, grainy photos. Sony’s Super Steady Shot optical image stabilization counters camera shake and stabilize images so you can easily shoot with longer exposure times. Also, it can identify up to 8 faces in the camera’s LCD frame, and automatically adjust white balance and flash as well as focus and exposure for sharp, clear photos. Sony’s Clear raw noise reduction technology will help reduce the picture noise common to low-light exposures.

The camera comes with a typical kit including the body, strap, rechargeable battery/charger, hydra-cable, printed manual and CD ROM with basic software and drivers.

Samsung SGH-T809

Samsung released its new T809 model. Straying from the typical flip phone shell, the T809 is packaged in a sleek slider design.

Creating a striking first impression, the T809 features a large full-color screen, resembling the look and feel of high-end plasma televisions. Slim enough to fit into consumers' pockets, the T809 offers an integrated 1.3-megapixel camera, MP3 player with external stereo speakers, and Bluetooth wireless technology to ensure it doesn't stay hidden for long.

Being that ultra-thin phones are best sellers these days, it's no surprise that the sleek T809 measures under 0.6-inches thin. Built of plastic, rather than metal-alloy as the RAZR and A900, the T809 is a lightweight at just over 3.0 ounces, but lacks the rigidity and sturdy feel the former devices had.

Being wider than other phones, the majority of the front panel prominently displays a large state-of-the-art 262K-color screen. Above, users can capture odd angled photos and video clips with the versatile 1.3-megapixel camera lens. Below, a 5-way navigational keypad is surrounded by Dial, Exit, Cancel, and Left and Right Keys. External speakers on the bottom corners provide an open-air listening experience for music and sounds.On the left side, Volume Keys adjust earpiece and tone levels during calls and standby, while a Headset Jack allows listeners to enjoy music privately. The right edge contains a TransFlash memory card slot for additional space useful for storing MP3 files and photos.

Slid open, the numeric keypad is revealed offering comfortable and convenient menu navigation and text messaging through T9 predictive text.Out of the box, the Samsung SGH-T809 comes with a Standard 800 mAh Li-Ion Battery, Travel Charger, Stereo Handsfree Headset, USB Data Cable, 32 MB TransFlash Card, PC Studio CD, and User Manual.

Sony Cybershot DSC-W55

The 7.2 megapixel Sony DSC-W55 features a 3x optical zoom lens with Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar branding, 2.5" 115,000 pixel LCD display, optical viewfinder, and a maximum sensitivity of ISO 1,000 equivalent. Auto and Programmed Auto exposure modes are offered, as well as seven scene modes (Twilight, Twilight Portrait, Landscape, Beach, Snow, High Sensitivity, Soft Snap).

Other Sony W55 features include 2x "Precision" (interpolating) digital zoom, up to 14x "Smart zoom" (which simply crops to achieve the zoom effect, resulting in lower resolution images, but no softening due to interpolation), three metering modes (multi-pattern, center-weighted or spot), +/- 2.0EV exposure compensation and a 2 or 10 second self-timer. The DSC-W55 captures movies in MPEG1 format with audio at resolutions up to 640x480 pixels, at a rate of up to 30 frames per second.

Like other Sony models, the W55 uses Memory Stick Duo memory cards and comes with a fairly generous 56MB of internal memory available for image storage. Sony DSC-W55 interfaces include USB 2.0 (high-speed), A/V (NTSC or PAL), and DC input via a dummy battery that's included with the optional AC adapter. Power is provided to the Sony W55 via a Sony NP-BG1 Li-Ion rechargeable battery.

The Sony W55 is offered in a variety of colors including Caribbean blue, pale pink, elegant black and sleek silver and is carrying a list price of US$200.

Canon PowerShot SD800

The Canon SD800 IS Digital ELPH features a compact, stylish case with rounded horizontal edges, and a retracting lens to make it pocket-friendly. The Canon SD800IS includes a 7.1 megapixel imager, and a Canon-branded 3.8x optical zoom lens covers an optimized range of 28-105mm equivalent, a good wide-angle to moderate telephoto.

What's really cool, though, is that the Canon ELPH SD800 IS incorporates Canon's excellent Image Stabilization (hence the "IS" in the model name) technology that drastically reduces the effects of camera shake at slow shutter speeds, or long zoom settings. This means that with the SD800 IS Digital ELPH, you can shoot in low light without having to put the camera on a tripod to avoid the camera shake. IS typically lets you take crisp shots under light conditions four times darker than you could manage without it.

Exposure is fully automatic, but the user can tweak it with 2.0 EV of exposure compensation, and three metering modes to handle difficult lighting, while 10 scene modes keep the camera approachable for beginners. A long-exposure mode in the Canon SD800 ELPH also lets you manually set exposure times up to 15 seconds long, and a large 2.5 inch LCD display plus an optical viewfinder -- rather rare on digicams these days -- gives you a choice when framing images. The Canon SD800 Digital ELPH also sports a rather wide ISO sensitivity range, from 100 to 1,600.

Canon also manufactures a line of photo printers, and prides itself on the level of integration between its cameras and printers. The Canon Digital ELPH SD800 IS is PictBridge capable, so is able to print to any printer that supports PictBridge directly, without the need for a computer in the middle. When connected to a Canon printer, though, you can set paper size, print quality, and a number of other parameters; capabilities lacking in basic PictBridge connections.

Nikon Coolpix S500

The Nikon S500 is a compact camera that will, fully automated, do its job by means of the intelligent software inside the camera. Actions are being performed nearly completely automatic and correct the image quality if needed. The compact format and the light weight make it easy to take the camera along in your pocket. An important component of the camera is the VR image stabilization system; it directly contributes in the image quality, in this case the sharpness of the picture. Although the Nikon S500 does not have an exceptional large range, such a system will alleviate movement blurring, which has been caused by a too long shutter speed in bad lighting situations. It's a pity that the Nikon Coolpix S500 has not been equipped with a 28mm wide-angle lens.
The image quality of the Nikon Coolpix S500 compact camera is fine and the color saturation is average.n excessive artificial light, the Nikon S500 may deviate from its excellent white balance metering, but this can be adjusted by selecting the right white balance setting in the camera's menu.
Focusing with the Nikon Coolpix S500 goes nice and smooth and, with a few exceptions, will never fail.Noise is strongly visible here and to my opinion you should only use this option in emergencies.
The camera sets lighting and image processing so it is adjusted to the type of subject; this way the end result will be bit more appealing than a picture taken in the standard Auto mode. The Nikon Coolpix S500 also has a panoramic setting, less convincing because of the lacking of a wide-angle setting, but it will still give nice results nevertheless.
The camera is extremely users friendly and gives a fine end result. In regards to comfort and user friendliness the Nikon S500 does not seem to need many improvements.

Sony Ericsson W910 Walkman Phone-Shake it Baby

Sony Ericsson's new W910 is the company's new high-end Walkman feature phone. This attractive little 86g (3oz) slider has a 2.4", 262k color QVGA display and works with Sony Ericsson's new Media Manager application, which replaces the older Disc2Phone application used by earlier devices. The most interesting aspect of its music capabilities is perhaps the new shake control that lets users access the next or previous track with a quick flick of the wrist, so to speak. The playlist can even be shuffled with a back and forth shaking motion, which seems quite appropriate.

The Media Manager PC software that is included with the W910 is notable for a number of upgraded features, but none of them are more interesting than the new SenseMe system. SenseMe attempts to encode mood data into music tracks as they are ripped from CDs. This lets the W910 user create playlists based on tempo or music style, which should impress runners and commuters alike. The W910 stores its music files on a Memory Stick Micro (M2) memory card, and a 1GB card ships with the phone.

The W910 supports GSM/EDGE networks on all four major network bands and includes support for the 2100MHz UMTS/HSDPA band used in Europe and some other parts of the world. A variant for the Chinese market called the W908c will lack the UMTS/HSDPA support of the European version. The W910 will be available in red or black in Q4 of this year.

Readius- The Pocket size e-book reader

WHEN YOU’RE FINISHED reading your e-mail or the newspaper on that big, five-inch screen, wrap it up and stow it in your pocket. Polymer Vision’s Readius, a cellular-connected, PDA-size gadget, is the first device available with a roll-up display. Instead of glass, it’s made from a plastic sheet. The company concocted transistors out of durable polymers, layered with gold wires, to minimize stress when the display bends, so it can survive tens of thousands of flexes.The screen uses a technology called E Ink, which floats pigment to the surface of tiny capsules to produce black-and-white text or images in 14 shades of gray. Adding red, green and blue capsules will give the device a color screen by 2009. And Polymer Vision expects to have a display that can refresh fast enough to handle Webpage scrolling and basic video by 2010.
Audio is also catered for, with podcast and music downloads supported. Future models should be able to display colour and live video. Navigation is carried out through a touch-sensitive LED array, designed to be used single-handedly, and battery life should be an astounding ten days on average.
A built-in SIM card slot means it can be constantly connected to an EDGE/UMTS network as well as DVB-H IP data-casting, and take advantage of e-mail, news, location sensitive maps and ebooks, as well as user-loaded information on the 4GB of internal storage transferred via mini-USB.

Acer Aspire Laptop 3000 Series

Acer Aspire 3000 is one of the least expensive laptops on the market. Though it has an unremarkable design, the Aspire 3000 features a big 15-inch standard-aspect display and weighs right around six pounds--too heavy for regular travel but fairly lightweight for a laptop of this size and price.That said, the Aspire 3000's measly specs aren't going to set any records, and this machine delivers absolutely terrible battery life; furthermore, it lacks some basic ports and connections. If you're looking for a laptop that's portable enough to move around the house for lightweight computing tasks--e-mail, Web surfing, and word processing--the Aspire 3000 may fit the bill.
The Aspire 3000 sits right on the edge between thin-and-light and midsize. It weighs 6 pounds and measures 14.3 inches wide, 11 inches deep, and 1.5 inches thick.Designwise, the Aspire 3003LCi is a dead ringer for the Acer TravelMate 4060 save for its keyboard: the TravelMate's is curved and the Aspire's is rectangular, and we like both just fine. The Aspire 3000 features a nice wide touch pad, two big mouse buttons, and a convenient rocker button for scrolling through documents or Web pages.t doesn't incorporate multimedia controls or external volume buttons, though it has four programmable application buttons and a Wi-Fi on/off button. The system's 15-inch display has a standard 1,024x768 native resolution and is plenty clear and bright.
It offers one VGA port, one Type II PC Card slot, 56Kbps modem and Ethernet jacks, three USB 2.0 ports, and three audio jacks (headphone, microphone, and line-in). Also onboard is a cost-cutting DVD-ROM/CD-RW drive.
Microsoft Windows XP Home comes preloaded on the Aspire 3000, though other configurations in the Aspire 3000 series ship with Windows XP Professional. Acer bundles very little software with the system. For viewing and burning discs, Acer includes CyberLink PowerProducer and NTI CD and DVD Maker; it also provides its own utility for managing core system settings, such as passwords.

Sony Vaio VGN-TX92S Notebook

Sony unveiled its new line-up of VAIO TX3 notebooks, including the yummy looking VGN-TX92S notebook. The Vaio VGN-TX92S carries a Vista Ready symbol, and can be customized under the Vaio "Owner Made" program where you get to choose the right combination of hardware, software and notebook color.

You can choose any of the following CPUs on your new Vaio: Intel Core Solo U1400 (1.2 GHz), U1300 (1.06 GHz) or good old Celeron M running at 1.06 GHz. The Intel 945GMS Express chipset based board can take in up to 1.5GB of DDR2 memory. The VGN-TX92S comes with a spiffy 11.1" WXGA wide screen offering 1366x768 pixel resolution.

The Vaio VGN-TX92S includes a fingerprint module, as well as TPM security chip for added security. Hard drives can be selected ranging from 40-80GB, but you will lose about 6GB for the restore-to-factory-settings feature. Other goodies on the laptop include two high-speed USB 2.0 ports, a 10/100BaseTX LAN card (no Gigabit, but that's okay) and optional Bluetooth.

The USP of this notebook is, without doubt, 1Seg. 1Seg is a mobile data broadcasting service (currently restricted to Japan), and this new Vaio is compatible with it. Essentially, you have a big screen mobile TV at your disposal.

MOTO MING- mix work with play

A supremely smart, stylish and compact Linux-based device, MOTOMING is designed to help keep work, personal and entertainment worlds balanced and looking good. With the MOTOMING's large transparent window and rich functions you will be able to see beyond the surface of the life around you, adding significance and taste to everyday communications. - Motorola

The transparent flip cover is very striking. Click the volume down key and the display lights up with all your current pertinent information. It is really a nice touch. The buttons all have a very positive feel to them. They don't rattle or squeak and are quickly recognizable by feel. The flip feels solid... and when talking on the phone it feels secure. And I really, really, really like touch screens. Have I mentioned that I like touchs creens? This on is very responsive... I could quickly dial numbers without error, although the virtual keyboard's density required use of the stylus, which I didn't mind. I got used to it. I found the voice quality to be excellent especially relative to their current offerings.

There are quite a few cool seeming apps included on the device.... like a business card reader that is supposed to use the camera to take a picture then use recognition software to capture the details into text and save it to your contacts. Trouble is that after repeated attempts to make it work I gave up. Then there's the photo editing app... which sounds cool except all you can basically do is draw random squiggles over a picture you've just taken which isn't very useful. Maybe if you wanted to write a goofy note over your dorky friend's picture and send it to all of the rest of your friends, okay... but otherwise this isn't replacing Photoshop anytime soon. And all the usual "smartphone" features are there... calendar, audio player, camera, email, but nothing earth-shattering or innovative.

The interface, although greatly improved over current Motorola offerings, is still lagging behind the industry. I found there to be too few settings and options (like control for what is displayed on the main screen with the flip cover closed) or at least so buried that they are practically unusable. Email, web and general connectivity was quite slow... surprising given how responsive the rest of the device felt. And I was bummed to wake up one morning and the stylus tip had sheared off. Good thing they included a second on in the box.

This is a solid phone with a solid interface. It still has all the quirks of a Motorola product but they are less noticeable than previous offerings.

Virtual Keyboard

Tired of using your boring keyboards???? Here is a new keyboard which is made from the latest technology and it can also be carried with you.Here is VKB (Virtual PC Keyboard - Red Keyboard) which can be used with both your laptop and PC and with a compatible mobile device, compatible Smartphone and PDA.

The virtual laser keyboard (VKB) works by using both infrared and laser technology to produce an invisible circuit and project a full-size virtual QWERTY keyboard on to any surface. The virtual PC keyboard behaves exactly like a real one: direction technology based on optical recognition enables the user to tap the images of the keys, complete with realistic tapping sounds(!), which feeds into the compatible PDA, Smartphone, laptop or PC.The Virtual Keyboard uses light to project a full-sized computer keyboard onto almost any surface. Used with Smart Phones and PDA's, the VKB provides a practical way to do email, word processing and spreadsheet tasks, allowing the user to leave the laptop computer at home.
VKB observes the user's finger movements to interpret and record keystrokes. Since the virtual keyboard is an image projected in light, it completely disappears when not in use.

The VKB Virtual Keyboard has a wide range of applications:

* Personal digital assistants
* Cellular telephones
* Space saving computers
* Tablet PCs
* Laptops
* Industrial environments
* Clean rooms
* Sterile and medical environments
* Test Equipment
* Transport (Air, Rail, Automotive)

Roughly the size of a disposable lighter, (90 x 34 x 24 mm), the VKB enables users to type email or long text as easily as with a conventional keyboard. Imagine how much easier it would be if you had a proper mobile phone keyboard that fits in your pocket...

Sony Ericsson W200i- The THUMP is here

The W200i is a candy bar form factor mobile phone that measures in at 101mm by 44mm by 18mm with a carrying weight of 85 grams. The W200i is available in two colour schemes -Sony Ericsson amusingly calls them "Rhythm Black" and "Pulse White".
From the exterior, the phone looks good with average build quality. It has a Walkman button on the top left hand corner for playing music, like any other phone in the Walkman series. Below this is the slot for memory card, a 128 MB card is shipped along with the phone and those who need more memory, there is provision to accommodate cards upto 1 GB.
The screen has a resolution of 128×160 pixels and supports 65k colors, which is lesser than the other Walkman models. The keypad is good and offers good back light in the dark. One disappointing thing in this model is the Joystick, which is little bit on the harder side.

The phone has an in-build camera, with resolution 640×480 pixels and 4x zoom feature (VGA cam), plus an ability to record small video clips (in 3gp with a resolution of up to 176×144 pixels). The camera is just average considering the fact that other Walkman series have 2MP cams. The quality is also average.

It also has an in-build media player similar to the ones available in other Walkman series. It also has a radio. Now coming to connectivity, the one major disappointment is that there is no IR and Bluetooth available in this model. This is really surprising for the fact that many of the users now prefers to use bluetooth headsets. This is most crucial let down for this model.

Th mobile has a decent battery life. Sony Ericsson rates the W200i as being capable of up to 360 hours standby and seven hours talk time.

VAIO L VGC-LA38G - The Portable Panel PC

Sony’s latest creation, the Vaio L VGC-LA38G, is designed with ‘smart office’ and living room environments in mind and the firm claims that this Vaio is the world’s first ‘portable panel PC’.
The sleek design hides a fully functional unit and it looks like the new L series successfully combines a stylish business tool with a feature-rich entertainment device. VAIO L integrates
the power of a PC with a quality LCD and neatly designed chassis. The VGC-LA38G model comes with a polycarbonate frame, which contributes not only to the sleek transparent look of the VAIO L series, but also provides a chassis that is very light, albeit strong and durable.
The GC-LA38G features a 15.4" Wide Clear Bright LCD, with a foldable keyboard and touchpad. The system is powered by Intel's Core 2 Duo T5600 CPU clocked at 1.83GHz for cutting edge performance and integrates a 120GB HDD with up to 1GB DDR2 SDRAM.Graphics and movie applications are easily handled by NVIDIA's GeForce Go 7400 notebook graphics GPU coupled with a Supermulti DVD±RW optical drive for playing and creating DVDs.
Sony offers a wide software bundle with its new VAIO L series, including DVgate Plus 2.3, VAIO Video & Photo Utility 1.0, Adobe Premiere Elements 3.0, VAIO Edit Components 6.1, WinDVD for VAIO 8.0, Click to DVD 2.6, SoundFLOW, SonicStage CP 4.2, SonicStage Mastering Studio 2.3 and SonicStage Mastering Studio Audio Filter 2.3. GC-LA38G is the first Sony model to feature Windows Vista Home Premium pre-installed edition.
But the in terms of portability, the sleek-looking Sony isn’t really designed for those who move around too much, because compared to a desktop replacement laptop say it’s reasonably heavy at 4.5kg. On the occasions you do need to take it with you however, Sony has helpfully supplied a carry handle and a built-in battery.
Cheaper than both the Dell and HP, and also more portable, the Sony VAIO should help revolutionize how we view the PC and its place in the home.

HP SW6965

So you wanna look busy and important - then you should definitely carry the HP SW6965. The world will think you are too cool when you send emails through this phone or just plain fiddle with the stylus. It can read your email attachments, it has a megapixel camera, it looks and feels bulky. But it does the job.Its very tough to get a hang of. Infact, it's definitely not a "open box-insert SIM-start using" type of cellphone. You have to connect it to your PC and connectivity can be a bit diffcult if you're a novice. Also very difficult to get it in your jeans pocket.

N95- The Thing in your Pocket

It's the Swiss Army Knife of mobile phones: a compact handset that does everything. Music, video, mobile and wireless broadand, photography, satnav, email, blogging, office work, web surfing, messaging - heck, it'll even help you talk to people over long distances.
Nokia's N95 isn't much wider or taller than most compact phones, but its thickness makes it slightly hefty. Measuring 99 by 53 by 21 mm when closed, pocketing the N95 in tight jeans creates a slight lump -- about as much as a compact camera.

The N95 is the first device we've seen with a two-way slider design: slide it up to access the keypad, or down to get to the dedicated multimedia controls (FF, play/pause, stop and RW keys), which also puts the 2.5-inch screen into landscape mode.

The phone's frontage is dominated by a glorious 2.6in, 240 x 320, 16m-colour screen, big enough for web browsing to work and with a sufficient colour depth to bring photos and movies to life.

The N95 is a 3G phone, so above the screen sits the customary videocall camera. Alongside that is a light sensor and the earpiece. Below the screen is a typical slider-phone control cluster: five-way navigation key surrounded by not one but two Menu keys, soft-menu buttons, call make and break buttons.
The sides are home to the two stereo speakers, camera controls, volume rocker switch, MicroSD slot - under, for once, a cover that's easy to open - infrared port and AV output. On the back is the auto focus camera and Carl Zeiss lens under a manually opened cover.
The biggest disappointment of the N95 is its battery. The battery life ispretty low and will remain for only about a day or so. So time to time recharges are necessary.
