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.

Nokia 6300- The Slim Beautiful

The Nokia 6300 is the latest mobile phone from Nokia that combines a sleek design with functionality.
This mobile has a classic design with a beautiful stainless steel finish. Slim, elegant, easy to use and with a good quality 2 megapixel camera, a built-in MP3 player, memory expandable to 2 Gbytes, and wireless Bluetooth connectivity.Nokia's slogan for the 6300 is "Simply beautiful - beautifully simple." The beauty comes from the sleek, classic design with stainless-steel surfaces, and the simplicity reflects the fact that this is an all-round kind of phone: not a smartphone, not 3G, but including all of the functionality that most people want. This mobile bring out Nokia at its best.
The size is perfect.it's very slim (just 11.7mm) and not too wide, and the weight is enough to make it feel solid and substantial, but not so much that it feels heavy. The keypad is a decent size and is easy to use. The display is exceptional: a high resolution 240 x 320 pixel display with an amazing 16 million colours. On the outside the 6300 ticks all the right boxes.
The camera is 2 megapixels with an 8x digital zoom and with a video recording function. Enough for casual photography.There's a music player and an FM radio.Memory for storing music is limited but can be expanded using a memory card and can give as much memory as an ipod.Both Bluetooth and USB connectivity are supported, and the phone has GPRS and EDGE for fast data downloads. Battery life is excellent.

Features

• 2 megapixel camera with 8x digital zoom
• Video camera (176 x 144 pixels)
• Display: TFT, 16.7 million colours, 240 x 320 pixels (2 inches)

• supports WAP, GPRS, EDGE
  
• Size: 106 x 43 x 12 mm
• Weight: 91g
• Battery standby: up to 14.5 days (350 hours)

The good : Slim design; sharp color screen; easy-to-use keypad; slick-looking user interface that keeps it simple.

The bad: No auto-focus or flash on the camera; lack of 3G connectivity.

The bottom line: While this isn't the most advanced handset out there, it has a strong casing, a decent all-round feature set and an elegant, straightforward design. This is Nokia at its best.

Music on your wrist?????

We have always been hearing about music at your fingertips. But how about music on your wrist? Casio's WMP-1V Wrist Audio Player is the world's first wrist-wearable combination MP3 digital audio player and timepiece. Equipped with an internal 32MB Multi Media Card (MMC), the player provides up to 33 minutes of CD quality sound or 44 minutes of near CD quality sound, or 66 minutes of FM broadcast-level quality sound.
A USB interface specifically designed for the wrist worn configuration provides rapid music downloads which average about 70 seconds for a four-minute track. Full charge battery life provides approximately 4 hours of continuous playback. Regular timepiece features include normal timekeeping, alarm and stopwatch functions.
This would be a cool idea to hear music. The device is priced at a cool price of $249.95

LiveScribe- The Audio Pen?????

How nice would it be if a pen which we use for writing can store the information which we write on a paper so that we can reproduce it later??? just imagine....
Well now there is no need to imagine. LiveScribe is here. and it is selling like hot cakes.
In a nutshell, the most critically cool thing it can do is link audio recordings you make as you jot written notes to the actual text you're writing. And it can later all be indexed on a PC, and played back on the computer. Or by clicking on the notepad. Completely useful for students, journalists, lawyers—anyone who takes a lot of notes. And it works.
Cool na?????

Wii - The nXt Genetation of gaming consoles

The Wii Nintendo. The console is th is the fifth home video game console released bye direct successor to the Nintendo GameCube. Nintendo states that its console targets a broader demographic than that of Microsoft's Xbox 360 and Sony's PlayStation 3,but it competes with both as part of the seventh generation of gaming systems.
A distinguishing feature of the console is its wireless controller, the Wii Remote, which can be used as a handheld pointing device and can detect motion and rotation in three dimensions. Another is WiiConnect24, which enables it to receive messages and updates over the Internet while in standby mode.
he Wii console is Nintendo's smallest home unit to date; it measures 44 mm (1.73 in) wide, 157 mm (6.18 in) tall, and 215.4 mm (8.48 in) deep in its vertical orientation.The included stand measures 55.4 mm (2.18 in) wide, 44 mm (1.73 in) tall, and 225.6 mm (8.88 in) deep, The system weighs 1.2 kg (2.7 lb),which makes it the lightest of the three major seventh generation consoles. The console can be placed either horizontally or vertically. Nintendo has shown the console and the Wii Remote in white, black, silver, lime green, and red, but has initially been available only in white.
The Wii launch package includes the console, a stand to allow the console to be placed vertically, a circular clear stabilizer for the main stand, one Wii Remote, one Nunchuk attachment, one Sensor Bar, a removable stand for the bar, one external main power adapter, two AA batteries, one composite AV cable with RCA connectors (component video and other types of cables are available separately), operation documentation, and a copy of Wii Sports.
The Wii Remote is a controller that uses a combination of accelerometers and infrared detection (from an array of LEDs inside the Sensor Bar) to sense its position in 3D space. This design allows users to control the game using physical gestures as well as traditional button presses. The controller connects to the console using Bluetooth, and features rumble and an internal speaker. The Wii Remote can connect to other devices through a proprietary port at the base of the controller. The device bundled with the Wii retail package is the Nunchuk unit, which features an accelerometer and a traditional analog stick with two trigger buttons. In addition, an attachable wrist strap can be used to prevent the player from unintentionally dropping or throwing the Wii Remote. In response to incidences of strap failures, Nintendo is offering a free stronger replacement for all straps.
