This is another one of those obscenely unaffordable renditions of a car related model of a cellphone. It is likely to make its first public show at CeBIT this year. It works on a brilliant 520 MHz Qualcomm CPU and comes with Windows Mobile 6 Pro operating system. It also comes with support for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. The addition of basic GPS navigation makes the phone stand in the league of some pretty big names. It is good to see a luxury phone that has more than a satisfactory spec page. It is said that the interface of this one comes with this one is similar to the HTC Touch or the iphone. [ Source ] (Read the full post about ‘Asus ZX1 Lamborghini Phone’…)

Dubai is one of the most famous cities in the world that is known for its magnificent buildings and structures. In the near future one more splendid structure will be added to this list - an arch bridge designed by NY architecture firm Fxfowle. This bridge having one mile in length and 670 feet in height will be the largest and tallest arch bridge in the world. In addition to that according to available illustrations it will be one of peerless beauty. Construction of this bridge starts this month and will go on till 2012. As regards the total expenditures they are estimated at about 7 million. Moreover world’s first vacuum tube mass transit system will launch in Dubai shortly thereafter.

While most of us take the latest and greatest computer for granted, or at least the fact that we are easily able to purchase a computer. Not to mention we seem to be very worried about the next-generation movie players and have all gotten caught up in the recent format war (where Blu-ray came out victorious). But what if those options had not been available to us? Being very into tech it’s easy to forget that some people may not be able to purchase such devices, not because of a financial reason but because their government did not allow it. While I will not dive to far into Communism here, it is with very good news that there are some signs of change in Cuba, even if it is just a little at a time.

The latest in the never ending supply of USB flash drives is the USBee, which makes not only perfect sense name wise, but also has a “bee like” yellow and black exterior. Along with the fancy name and coloring the USBee drive actually has some nice features that go along, first off the drive is made from silicon and aluminum and has a flexible design to prevent accidental damage. In addition to a thoughtful and hopefully damage proof design the USBee also has a cooling system built into it’s stripes to keep it from overheating and a detachable cap that will snap on to the other end when the drive is in use.

These cool players seem to be simple Lego blocks but are actually capable of entertaining you better than a set of building blocks. The buttons are in the form of some of the nubs that are used by the Lego blocks to join other Lego blocks. They come with controls such as volume, pause, play, forward and backward. The songs are stored on microSD cards that can have memory capabilities reaching 2 gigabytes! (Read the full post about ‘Lego MP3 Player: Easy to Lose’…)

Posted Mar 15th 2008 10:42AM by Darren MurphFiled under: Wearables Make of it what you will, but Germany’s own Mac Life has apparently grabbed hold of a few more details concerning that SportBand we saw sashay into the FCC’s database late last month. Reportedly, the unit isn’t meant to replace the Nike+ipod system; rather, it’s an alternative for runners who’d prefer not to have earbuds in and a DAP on their person when logging their treks. As expected, time, speed, distance and calories will all be tracked, and each run can be captured and stored on the outfit’s website after you thumb a ride back home. We’re told to expect said device in April for €59.95 ($93), but only time will tell if that’s an accurate assertion (and true worldwide).[Tha (Read the full post about ‘Nike’s SportBand ready for April launch?’…)

Something that most Asus fans would wish for is here at last. The M536 comes with a touch screen as well as a QWERTY keyboard. It runs on frequency bands of 900/1800/1900 for GPS carriers and 2100/1900/850 with 3.6 Mbps HSPDA.It works on Windows Mobile 6.1 platform and has 256 MB of flash memory. The screen is a typical Asus wonder, measuring 2.43 inches; it supports resolutions of up to 320×320. Now that’s a perfect square for a change. The M536 also comes with support for 802.11 Wi-Fi and GPS connectivity. It’s got a lot that one would seek in a business phone.

This past week, giant video game publisher Electronic Arts placed a hostile bid of $2 billion to take over fellow publisher Take-Two. Take-Two is the maker of the controversial but mega-selling franchise, Grand Theft Auto. So what does this mean if EA does in fact buy out T2? Well, it’s not as if there won’t be other video game makers, large and small, remaining. There are still literally dozens of them out there.

Every day, some kid wakes up and dreams of making their own video game, and some will. There will always be a niche for small game outfits, and large publishers like EA or T2 will gladly buy and/or publish those games to a national or international market.

What if you could talk… without really talking? Aside from saving you all the effort required to move your lips, don’t you agree that it would be the sexiest thing in mobile communications since the RAZR? Well, Ambient Corporation promises to give you just that, the ability to say words without opening your mouth. Just think of all the possibilities this will bring. Now, you can continue to annoy your peaceful old neighbors without even moving your lips, you talkative freak of nature you.
