iPhone 1.1.4 Jailbreak Released




Hackers on Wednesday released the first publicly available "jailbreak" solution for version 1.1.4 of the iPhone software. A little more than 24 hours after the release of Apple's latest iPhone software, a group of coders have released iNdependence 1.4b5, a Cocoa-based application for Mac OS X that provides an easy-to-use interface for jailbreak, activation, SSH installation, and ringtone/wallpaper/application installation on the iPhone. The open-source software is available under GNU v2 license.

Meanwhile, other reports indicate that at least one other jailbreak hack (with an older firmware) has survived the version 1.1.4 upgrade and yet another hacker has already successfully cracked a part of the latest firmware/software update.

Next week, Apple is expected to announced, and likely release, the official SDK at the special iPhone SDK event in Cupertino.

The process was very simple and installing SSH required three separate, but painless, reboots.

SNES for the iPhone Video Demo


In case you’ve forgotten, ZodTTD is the same group that brought NES and Playstation emulation to the iPhone / iPod Touch. With snes4iphone they’ve tackled, well yeah, SNES (Super Nintendo Entertainment System).

Now thanks to ZodTTD, all 16 bits of glorious gaming fury can be enjoyed on your mobile. Gameplay is fast and smooth, portrait and landscape modes are supported as is game-state saving. There is still some work to do such as adding audio support, but it’s more than usable as is. Add the ZodTTD source in Installer.app to load it up or click through for the download.

iPhone Palm OS Emulator Hands-on Video Demo


StyleTap produces software for Windows Mobile devices that allows them to run Palm OS applications. Now they've apparently produced an experimental build of the CrossPlatform Palm emulator for the iPhone / iPod touch, as you can see above.

StyleTap makes clear that this is "NOT a product, nor is its presence here a commitment of any kind, express or implied, that StyleTap Inc. will ever release an official version of StyleTap CrossPlatform for Apple iPhone or iPod touch." In other words -- don't ask for a copy, no it's not in beta, and you can't have it. Nonetheless, this proof of concept is quite intriguing.

Take a gander at this here wide-angle lens add-on for your iPhone's camera. It's not the prettiest solution, but it should get the job done.

"GiFi" Wireless Offers 5GB Per Second Transfer Speed, to Replace WiFi, Bluetooth?



The University of Melbourne announced on Friday a new technology they are calling “GiFi”, which promises some serious game-changing wireless transfer speeds for all types of consumer gadgets. The tiny silicon chip invented by professor Stan Skafidas is able to move data through the air as fast as 5 gigabits per second at a distance of just over 30 feet.

This short-range wireless technology would potentially be a competitor or more than likely a replacement for WiFi, and things like Bluetooth might want to look out as well. The transfer speeds combined with the constantly increased storage capacities of small handheld devices could really take media down some new avenues as well. The Age newspaper uses an example of transferring a high-definition movie from a kiosk at a store to your mobile phone in seconds. Then that same movie can be transferred just as quickly from the phone to your home computer or entertainment system to watch.

According to the U. of Melbourne, the chip is very small at only 5 millimeters per side, has a 1mm antenna, uses just two watts of power and they estimate it would cost less than $10 each to build. It also uses the 60GHz “millimetre wave” spectrum which is not as crowded as the spectrum that Wi-Fi uses, competing with things like cordless phones.

The chip still has about a year of work left on it before it becomes a reality. Skafidas says they still need to work on how data gets injected into the transceiver.

Nokia E-Series fans were sadly disappointed when there was no announcement of the leaked E71 (successor of the E61i) at the recently held Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Spain.

But here comes a ray of hope that the phone will be released soon--apparently CNET Australia's Joseph Hanlon has been given a sneak peek of a 'secret' side-by-side comparison picture of the E61i and the E71 during the Showcase Nokia event in Sydney, Australia.

The next major mobile event will be CeBIT this March at Hannover, Germany, so let's cross our fingers that Nokia will announce it then...

Nokia 6210 Navigator: GPS-Enabled, With Integrated Compass


Nokia today introduced the new Nokia 6210 Navigator, the company's first GPS-enabled mobile device with an integrated compass for pedestrian guidance. The Nokia 6210 Navigator comes with Nokia Maps 2.0, also announced today, and includes full voice and visual turn by turn guidance at no extra cost. The Nokia 6210 Navigator is estimated to start shipping in the third quarter of 2008 in select markets with an estimated retail price of EUR 300, before taxes and subsidies.

Combined with an 'accelerometer' which measures changes in direction and orientation, the built-in compass makes it easy to follow the map when strolling about on foot. When turning the device, the map automatically maintains its orientation. The integrated Nokia Maps 2.0 application will plot the quickest route to the desired destination and illustrate it on the map. Thanks to high-speed 3.5G connectivity, detailed information about each point of interest, like the phone number or web address is a click away.

"The personal navigation market is expanding rapidly and mobile phone navigation is its fastest growing area. According to recent market research by Canalys, over 60% of mobile phone users are keen to have navigation on their phones," says Markku Suomi, the head of Nokia's Connect device category. "The Nokia 6210 Navigator offers the next generation in mobile navigation to a broad consumer base. Mobile phone users around the world will be able to enjoy the benefits of navigation with a device that not only navigates, but also communicates."

Car navigation is also simple with the pre-installed one-touch navigation, full voice guidance and self-mount car kit of the Nokia 6210 Navigator. If the user makes a wrong turn, the device will automatically calculate a new route.

The Nokia 6210 Navigator supports assisted GPS (A-GPS), which enables the GPS receiver to acquire the satellites in just seconds. The device is ready for use out of the box, even without a SIM-card. Local maps are pre-loaded on the 1GB memory card of the Nokia 6210 Navigator and map updates are included in the sales price. For an additional fee, users can purchase multimedia city guides from premium content providers via Nokia Maps application and download additional map areas for free via Nokia Map Loader at maps.nokia.com.

Browsing the Internet and using instant messaging, email and widgets is fast with the high speed 3.5G HSDPA technology on the Nokia 6210 Navigator. The device also features a 3.2 megapixel camera, MP3 player and stereo FM radio. The Nokia 6210 Navigator is based on S60 software, allowing users to download and use thousands of new applications in addition to the ones already found on the device.

Nokia 6220 Classic: With 5MP and Xenon Flash


At the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, Nokia introduced the Nokia 6220 classic, a full-featured device that combines a 5 megapixel camera with A-GPS functionality to give new meaning to the phrase "to share". High quality images and videos can be snapped, tagged, edited and shared online, phone-to-phone or even viewed on a television. The Nokia 6220 classic is expected to start shipping in the 3rd quarter of 2008 in selected markets with an estimated retail price of 325 euros, before taxes and subsidies.

The highlight of the Nokia 6220 classic is its 5 megapixel camera with Xenon flash and Carl Zeiss optics - on par with many single purpose digital cameras on the market today. With its high-speed HSDPA connection updating blogs or uploading photos and videos to favorite sharing sites like Share on Ovi or Flickr can be done right from the Nokia 6220 classic. A-GPS functionality allows photos to be 'geotagged' - making them easier to search and share. Images can also be viewed on a television screen with the integrated TV-out feature, sent from phone to phone via wireless Bluetooth connection, or viewed in full color on the phone's large 2.2 inch display.

"The Nokia 6220 classic will help web 2.0 novices and experienced bloggers snap, save and share pictures and videos easily. Saving, tagging and uploading pictures can now be done on the phone, seconds after the picture has been taken," says John Barry, Director, Connect devices, Nokia. "The Nokia 6220 classic, with its 5 megapixel camera, auto focus and xenon flash is a credible and reasonably priced alternative to single-purpose digital cameras and has the added benefit of A-GPS for location tagging, Nokia Maps and possibility to upgrade to full navigation."

The Nokia 6220 classic comes loaded with the new Nokia Maps 2.0 application which helps consumers find the best routes or explore any city for new restaurants, hotels, tourist attractions and other points of interest. The pre-loaded WidSets service brings web content directly to the device via mini-applications called widgets, providing quick and easy access to news updates, games and web communities. As a full-featured converged device, the Nokia 6220 classic also includes internet browser, email, music player, FM radio with RDS and up to 8 GB of memory.

Nokia N78 Phone: Geotags Photos, with Integrated FM Transmitter


Nokia today introduced the Nokia N78, a multimedia computer that combines music, navigation and photography with the benefits of mobility. The Nokia N78 is designed to take advantage of the new suite of Nokia services, including the Nokia Music Store, Nokia Maps, and Share on Ovi - a new online service that enables consumers to share their personal media. The Nokia N78 is expected to start shipping during the second quarter of 2008, with an estimated retail price of approximately 350 euros, before taxes.

The Nokia N78 packs a powerful range of technologies, including integrated A-GPS, with free Nokia Maps, WLAN and high-speed HSPDA 3G connectivity, a 3.2 megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics, and support for microSD memory card, currently available at up to 8 GB, to store favourite music and media. The novelties of the N78 are geotagging of photos and an integrated FM transmitter that allows music to be played on any FM radio, in a car or at home.

"The Nokia N78 truly lives up to the Nseries promise of delivering unparalleled mobile multimedia experiences with the very latest technologies and services," says Jonas Geust, who oversees Nokia's Nseries devices. "The Nokia N78 empowers people to explore their passions, enjoy their favourite music and share their experiences with others and is set to continue the range of well-balanced Nseries devices such as the successful Nokia N73."

Search, snap, tag and share

Taking advantage of its integrated A-GPS functionality and 3.2 megapixel camera, the Nokia N78 introduces the increasingly popular online practice of 'geotagging' to a Nokia device. The Nokia N78 automatically tags images with capture location metadata, making it possible to view the capture location on a map either on the device itself, or online. With its high-speed internet connectivity, over WLAN or HSDPA, uploading photos and videos to online communities like Share on Ovi, Flickr or YouTube is a single key stroke away.

Music remains a core feature of the Nokia N78 and Nokia's range of Nseries multimedia computers. In addition to the up to 8GB of memory, internal speakers and support for standard 3.5mm headphones, the N78 also comes with Nokia Internet Radio, giving instant access to thousands of radio stations around the world.

Nokia N96: DVB-H TV Phone


Mobile World Congress 2008, Barcelona, Spain/Espoo, Finland - Nokia today unveiled the Nokia N96, a multimedia computer truly optimized for video and TV. With a large 2.8" screen, 16 gigabytes of internal memory and support for high-quality videos in a wide range of formats, the dual-slide Nokia N96 represents an exciting new chapter in mobile media. The Nokia N96 multimedia computer is expected to begin shipping in the third quarter of 2008 with an estimated sales price of approximately 550 euros, before subsidies or taxes.

"In 2007, the Nokia N95 became an icon of convergence of Internet and mobility. With over 7 million units sold to date, the N95 has changed the way people use their mobile device. The Nokia N96 we introduced today builds on the success of N95, further enhancing the experience," says Jonas Geust, who oversees Nokia's Explore category. "Through the power of the Internet, video and TV are becoming even more prevalent in people's lives. With its large, bright screen, and a range of high-speed connectivity options and the enhanced Nokia Video Center, the new Nokia N96 is a personal window to entertainment."

Accessing internet videos is quick and simple. The Nokia N96 supports common video formats including MPEG-4, Windows Media Video and Flash Video, making favorite videos easy to view. Transferring and accessing videos is even faster with the high-speed USB 2.0 connection and WLAN and HSDPA support. In select markets, the integrated DVB-H receiver offers live broadcast TV with an automatically updating program guide. The massive memory can store up to 40 hours of video content. The storage capacity of the Nokia N96 can even be further expanded with an optional microSD card, such as the new Nokia 8GB microSDHC Card MU-43 which increases the available memory of the Nokia N96 to a total of 24 GB. For added convenience, the Nokia N96 features a 'kickstand' on the back cover that allows for hands-free viewing.

The Nokia Video Center offers one place to discover and access a variety of mobile content ranging from movie trailers and comedy to news from world-leading content brands such as YouTube, Reuters, and Sony Pictures. The catalogue of internet video feeds is continually expanded with more regional and country specific content.

For a superb music experience, the Nokia N96 features media keys, a 3.5 mm headphone connector and built-in 3D stereo speakers. The Nokia Maps application offers richer maps with urban details and satellite views and has upgrade options such as City Guides, turn-by-turn pedestrian mode and voice-guided car navigation.

The Nokia N96 boasts a 5 megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss optics, flash and video light. It allows DVD-like quality video capture at 30 frames per second. Further, with the integrated A-GPS, consumers can now 'geotag' their pictures with location data and share them with their online communities.

The Nokia N96 naturally supports the Ovi family of Nokia internet services, including maps, music, media sharing and more.

Nokia Launches Nokia Media Network

Nokia Media Network, comprised of top operators and publishers including AccuWeather, Discovery, Hearst, Reuters, and Sprint is resulting in industry-leading response rates for advertisers.

Mobile World Congress 2008, Barcelona, Spain/Espoo, Finland - Nokia today announced the launch of the global Nokia Media Network, a premium advertising network including over 70 leading publisher and operators as well as Nokia media properties. AccuWeather, Discovery, Hearst, Reuters, and Sprint have joined with Nokia to form the first global mobile ad network of top tier publishers. Nokia Media Network's wide reach of the most desirable mobile audience is yielding click-through rates averaging 10% in certain channels, the highest reported response rates in the industry.

"Nokia is building upon an unrivaled understanding of the mobile consumer, our relationships with blue chip publishers and top tier operators, and a legacy of campaign optimization through analytics to create a high-performing solution for advertisers," said Vice President and Head of Nokia Interactive, Mike Baker. "The biggest brands in the world trust us with their mobile advertising because they know the Nokia Media Network enables them to reach the largest, highest quality audience on mobile and provides the best ROI."

Nokia enables advertisers to place ads on high quality and brand-safe publisher and operator mobile Web pages, as well as Nokia properties, representing an unprecedented global consumer reach - more than 100 million mobile consumers around the globe. As part of the turn-key service for advertisers, the award-winning mobile marketing team from Nokia creates mobile campaigns for hundreds of top brands, including BMW, Paramount, and MobiTV.

Nokia acquired mobile advertising leader, Enpocket, in October 2007. Nokia leverages Enpocket's ground breaking analytics technology to optimize campaigns, improve conversions, and measure campaign performance across the network.

"Mobile has been beneficial in helping BMW reach consumers at the lower end of the funnel, when they are close to making their vehicle-buying decision," said Samuel Martinez Ballesteros, Marketing Communication
Internet and New Media, BMW Ibérica. "Nokia has helped us reach our target audience, resulting in increased visibility and lead generation for us."

To share expertise with brands, agencies, and publishers globally, Nokia has expanded its account management and media sales teams to include offices in Beijing, Boston, Chicago, Dusseldorf, Frankfurt, Helsinki, London, Los Angeles, Madrid, Milan, Minneapolis, Mumbai, Munich, New York, Paris, Singapore and Shanghai.

SE Z770: HSDPA Clamshell Web Phone with Magnetic Mouse Pointer Announced



Sony Ericsson today announced the launch of the new Z770, an elegant clamshell phone optimised for the web and benefiting from HSDPA data speeds. This classic-looking clamshell phone offers capabilities beyond expectation. It is designed to make it straightforward to surf the web or receive the latest news, and the ‘email set-up wizard’ makes it simple to access your inbox. The Z770 can also be connected directly to a laptop (via USB cable) and can be used as a modem.

“The Z770 is deceptively powerful for such a compact clamshell phone,” said Martin Winkler, Director Global Marketing and Head of Multimedia Web at Sony Ericsson. “It appeals to busy people who demand hassle-free email and high quality Web access on the move. These people need to be in-touch, need to be on top of their email, but don’t necessarily want a smartphone or PDA. The Z770 is the uncomplicated answer.”

Z770 phone – Gets you online with effortless style

  • Easy email set-up – for ultimate convenience
  • High-speed web access and intuitive navigation features for fast web browsing
  • Google™ Maps for Mobile – receive step-by-step directions on your screen to your destination

Style in your pocket
A compact, reliable phone that helps you juggle work, home, friends and family. With HSDPA technology providing fast data speeds, the Z770 provides multiple methods of communication whether it’s for a business matter or just staying in touch with the family. This phone combines up to 8.5 hours talk time with easy email set-up and fast internet access. This makes the Z770 a versatile phone for those that have a hectic lifestyle both at work and at home with the family.

Your inbox in your hand
The Z770 makes it easier than ever before to access your email. Even if you’re a technical novice you can access Web email (Hotmail, Yahoo etc) and retrieve mail, straight from your phone. And with Exchange ActiveSync™, you can even configure your phone to have work emails pushed straight to your phone, making it easier than ever to stay in touch on the move.

Choose how you want to get online
The Z770 gives you online access, however you choose to get there. Surf the web or retrieve email directly on your phone when you’re in a cab. And when you’re in the hotel lobby, connect the Z770 to your laptop (via USB Cable) and use it as a modem to access the web on your computer.

Once online, web browsing on the Z770 is easy thanks to the Magnetic Mouse Pointer that is controlled by the navigation key. The key changes the icon depending on its position on the Web page (i.e. from text input to pointer or to link). Plus, pan and zoom into an area you’re interested in for easy reading on the good-sized (2.2”) screen.

Stay up-to-date
The Z770 offers you all the information you need, right at your fingertips. Receive RSS feeds from news or entertainment websites as the action happens. Or simply click on the RSS tile, or ‘widget’, for instant access to your favourite webpage from your phone’s desktop (or standby screen). In addition, the Z770 has a useful built-in weather forecast application, allowing you to receive regular weather updates and plan your long weekend accordingly.

As well as receiving the latest news and weather forecasts, you can also keep loved ones informed about your own news. Snap a photo on the Z770 and upload it instantly to your own blog site.

Stay in touch in your car
You don’t need to hold the phone in your hand to get the best out of the Z770. With the Bluetooth ™ Handsfree HCB-150, also announced today, you can catch-up with your client or family in your car while staying focused on the road. The HCB-150 also features a convenient text to speech feature; the HCB-150 verbally alerts you who is calling. The HCB-150 has a talk time of up to 25 hours and 700 hours standby time- long enough to last for quite a few trips!

The Z770 is a UMTS/HSDPA 2100 and GSM/EDGE 900/1800/1900 phone that will be available in Vogue Red, Graphite Black and Exquisite Gold in selected markets from Q2 2008.

The Bluetooth™ Car Speakerphone HCB-150 will be available globally from Q2 2008.

C902


C702





Sony Ericsson today announced two high-performance additions to its popular Cyber-shotTM phone range with the launch of the C702 Cyber-shot™ and C902 Cyber-shot™. The two phones, packed with the latest camera technology, make it effortless to take perfect pictures of those spontaneous moments – day or night, at a bar or the beach – and instantly share them with friends and family.

“The two new Cyber-shot™ phones that we have announced today share certain characteristics. Both phones place ease-of-use and best-in-class picture quality at the heart of their designs,” said Sven Totté, Head of Imaging Marketing at Sony Ericsson. “Yet both appeal to different audiences. One is engineered to let you take more pictures in more places and the other is designed to look as stunning as the pictures it takes.”

Sony Ericsson C702 Cyber-shotTM – Take pictures everywhere

  • Splash and dust resistant* – perfect for your active lifestyle
  • Single-handed camera use – for spur-of-the-moment photos
  • Built-in GPS with location-based imaging – sort and view your photos according to where you took them

Never too extreme
You can use the C702 Cyber-shot™ in a range of different conditions, as its unique design means its both splash and dust resistant*. This means that whether you’re off-road or just off to the mall, your C702 Cyber-shot™ phone can always be at your side wherever you go, whatever you do. After all, the best camera is the one you have with you.

Never miss a shot
The C702 Cyber-shot™ is engineered to let you take pictures in any position. The camera key and the active lens cover are specifically designed and placed so that you can stabilise the 3.2 megapixel camera and capture the moment with one hand - perfect for an active lifestyle. Combine this with steady-grip materials and a wrist-strap provided in-box, and the C702 Cyber-shot™ really is geared to go more places.

Never lost
The C702 Cyber-shot™ integrates GPS and a range of location-based imaging services that really add a new dimension to taking and managing your photos. When you take a picture, information about where you are in the world is automatically added to the image. So you can always share your best moments with your friends and family according to where the shots were taken. Or you can simply sort the picture through your photo gallery on the PC or on the web.

If you are lost on your travels, Google™ Maps for Mobile locates and guides you to where you want to go, enabling you to roam free with confidence. Use GPS to pinpoint your location and then get turn-by-turn voice guidance to your destination. Find your way home or to one of up to 20 million points of interest.

Sony Ericsson C902 Cyber-shot TM – The image and style statement

  • Slim Cyber-shot™ phone with unique slide-out lens cover. Camera-ready in an instant
  • Stand out design – instantly recognisable
  • 5.0 megapixel camera with Face Detection and Auto Focus. Always capture the best shot possible
  • Illuminated camera touch keys. Intuitive guidance around the camera settings

The slim line C902 Cyber-shot™ will have everyone wanting to have their picture taken. Ultra-compact, stylish and with a unique lens cover that slides open to reveal the 5.0 megapixel Auto Focus camera, the C902Cyber-shot™ sports a camera performance beyond its sleek and slim looks. The phone’s lighting dramatically signals when you are in camera mode by switching from white to blue. The eight camera touch keys come to life and let you choose between camera modes, Photo Flash, Face Detection and Auto Focus, and more with just one touch without moving your finger from the shutter button.

Just shoot
With the C902 Cyber-shot™ you just need to slide open the active lens cover and shoot. The Face Detection and Auto Focus capability enables the camera to detect and focus on the face of your subject rather than the background, so that you can take sharp and high quality pictures of your friends.

Night shoot
With the C902 Cyber-shot™ you can be confident of getting the perfect shot. The phone incorporates the latest in lighting technology – Photo Flash – giving you better quality pictures even in low-light conditions. Also, a light solution has been added to the established BestPic™ feature – which lets you take nine photos in quick succession, choose the best and delete the rest. So now you can use BestPic™ wherever you are, perhaps even to capture the dance-floor action in a club!

Create your own multi-media slideshow
Use x-Pict story™ to add music and transitions to your gallery of photos and automatically create your own multi-media slideshow to share with your friends. Lights, music, action!

Store and share
The C902 Cyber-shot™ comes with a 160MB built-in memory – the equivalent of storage for up to 100 full resolution photos – plus the possibility to add even more memory with the Memory Stick Micro™ (M2) that can be bundled with the phone depending on the market.

Easy transfer wherever you are
You can transfer the images on your phone to your computer by using the CCR-70 M2 USB Adapter, also announced today. Save your photos to the phone’s memory card, remove it and pop it into the CCR-70. You then slot the card reader into your laptop and all your photos can be dragged across! Delete from your Memory Stick and you’re ready to go and fill it up again with more memories.

Sony Ericsson today revealed the W980, a Walkman® phone that promises to get the most out of your music. Its unique audio enhancing technology, together with the Walkman® on Top design, sees the W980 cement Sony Ericsson’s position as a true market leader in the world of music on your mobile.

“The W980 Walkman® phone really sets a new standard for music on your phone,” said Ben Padley, Head of Music Marketing, at Sony Ericsson. “We wanted to design a leading music player that we could combine with a feature-packed phone, all the while pioneering an audio experience that always left you wanting more.

The W980 Walkman® phone is designed to allow you to listen to music as it should be heard. Clear stereo enables the music to sound like the original recording. Clear bass delivers distortion free sound even at higher volumes. These features combine with the premium headphones, the Stereo Portable Handsfree HPM-77, to deliver an incredible clear audio experience and music that sounds as true as possible to the original recording

Share your music with friends
The W980 Walkman® phone has a built-in FM transmitter, which allows you to send whatever’s playing on your phone to other devices with a built-in FM radio receiver. This gives you the ability to share your music with all those around you, whether through a friend’s hi-fi or your car stereo.
Quality music is made for sharing with the W980. Unplug your headset, sit back and let the music flow through the integrated stereo speakers for all to enjoy. Select a track from the extensive music library – the W980 lets you store up to 8000 songs* – or tune in to your favourite radio station and listen out loud. No need to plug in an FM Receiver, since this is on-board with the W980.

The W980’s TrackID™ feature, which can identify any track that you just can’t put a name to, will be fully integrated into PlayNow™ arena. This makes the W980 a genuine gateway to great music, as you can download the track instantly once it has been identified.

Customise your sound
You can tailor the W980’s Walkman® player to the music that you’re listening to. This latest Walkman® phone provides a choice of eight equaliser presets, each of which contains a distinct profile that is suitable to a range of music. So whether you’re listening to jazz, pop or heavy metal, you’ve can always choose the best sound for the song.

Control your music at your fingertips
The Walkman® on Top feature on the W980 gives you the full functionality of a Walkman® player without even having to open your phone. The entire Walkman® player that would normally be displayed on the inside of your clamshell is also replicated on the outside of the phone, so navigation through your music library is effortless.

Balance and beat

The W980 Walkman® phone comes with the new Stereo Portable Handsfree HPM-77; a headset that lets you enjoy music in powerful stereo sound. The HPM-77 also allows users to take their calls handsfree, and its sleek design and in-ear wearing-style mean that it’s both comfortable and reduces background noise to the bare minimum.

Whether listening via the headphones or the stereo speakers, the W980 Walkman® phone is a must-have for those who want an unrivalled music experience, which they carry with them every minute of the day. It is a UMTS/HSDPA 2100 GSM/GPRS 850/900/1800/1900 phone that will be available in selected markets from Q3 2008.

The Stereo Portable Handsfree HPM-77 will be available in selected markets from June 2008.

New Samsung "Soul" with Magic Touch Feature




Samsung has added some funk - not to mention a novel contextual visual nav panel - to its handset line-up and unveiled the Soul as its flagship handset for 2008.

Soul, which builds on existing phones like Samsung’s D900 and U600 handsets, incorporates a feature called Magic Touch which allows the sliderphone to display different button icons according to the application currently in use. When in music mode, for example, playback-related icons light up on the nav panel.

Said panel is a small display - we'd say an OLED, by look of it - below the main screen. It's touch-sensitive, and surrounded by the usual call make and break keys, and buttons to activate the main display's soft menus.

The Soul has a five-megapixel camera, which incorporates many of the features already found on Samsung’s exhaustive range of digicams, such as face detection and image stabilisation. Users will have access to 3G HSDPA data connections of up to 7.2Mb/s for, say, music downloads. Songs can then be pumped out through a digital power amplifier that uses technology from high-end audio equipment manufacturer Bang & Olufsen.

Samsung’s remaining pretty tight-lipped about the phone’s additional features, instead choosing to announce them at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona. However, we can say it has a Micro SDHC slot for memory expansion.

New Black U600 with Haptic Feedback Keypad for O2


Samsung’s U600 handset has several similar-looking stablemates, including the G600. So the South Korean manufacturer has decided to set it aside from the rest by re-launching the U600 in a sultry black shade and adding in fingertip vibration.

Dubbed... well... the Black U600, the handset features a keypad vibration feature called Haptic Touch. This enables its touch-sensitive keys to gently vibrate to a user’s finger-taps, something that Samsung claimed improves the interaction between the user and the handset.

The Black U600 still has the same features as the other-hued handsets in the range. For example, its 10.9mm-thick shell packs in a 3.2-megapixel camera, Bluetooth and 60MB of memory. A Micro SD card slot is built-in too.

Samsung’s chosen O2 the exclusive retailer for the Black U600. So, if its midnight shade and updated keypad tickles your fancy, or your fingertips, then get down to one of the network operator’s stores and hand over £100 (€145/$200), depending on your chosen contract.

New Nokia Flagship Store Opens in London


The latest of eight stores now open globally, Nokia has officially unveiled its London flagship retail spot at 240 Regent Street.

The location could very well end up being the crown jewel in Nokia's direct retail strategy, lying within earshot of Apple's impressive London location at 235 Regent Street and covering two full stories of consumer space.

As we've seen in the other spots, LCDs and color-changing walls cover the perimeter, while the floors and ceilings are clad with rich woods. A separate "Product Zone," "Solutions Zone," and "Retail Zone" all guide shoppers to different areas of the store depending on their needs, while a dedicated Vertu lounge lets the nouveau riche do their thing in privacy.

Nokia E51 Now Also Available with No Camera



Nokia has today introduced a camera-free variant of the Nokia E51, the popular Eseries device aimed at business users. The new device, which features all the same powerful functionality for businesses as Nokia E51, was developed in response to demand from professionals who require a high performing mobile device, but work in industries where security reasons restrict the use of cameras. The camera-free Nokia E51 is expected to begin shipping in the 1st quarter of 2008 with an estimated retail price of 250€, before subsidies or taxes.

The Nokia E51 is ideal for people working in industries and institutions such as automotive, research laboratories or governmental organizations.

From powerful voice capability, such as long battery life (13 days standby) to 3G, WLAN and HSDPA connectivity ensuring quick access to emails and web content, the Nokia E51 has all the features you would expect from an impressive business device. It is simple to use with one-touch keys taking the user directly to, ‘contacts’, ‘email’, ‘calendar’ or ‘home’ – one short press accesses the function and one long press on the key creates a new contact, email or appointment.

In addition, the camera-free Nokia E51 features integration with a wide range of business email solutions, including Nokia Intellisync Wireless Email and Mail for Exchange to communicate with Microsoft Exchange Server, and consumer email, all for a streamlined email reading experience with easy access to attachments.

LG Announces the Stylishly Slim KF510 with Tactile User Interface


LG Electronics is getting ready to unveil its new KF510 mobile phone, which is slim, stylish, and houses a tactile user interface that interacts with users as they touch the keys.

The KF510 will make its official debut next week at the GSMA Mobile World Congress conference in Barcelona. LG said what makes the new phone appealing to mobile users is a combination of slim form factor and design accents.

The phone is 10.9 mm thick, made out of metal and tempered glass. It uses LG's touch technology and has a tactile user interface, but it also slides out to reveal a keyboard (not QWERTY).

Besides disclosing that the KF510 will come with a 3-megapixel multi-function camera and MP3 player, LG didn't provide too many details.

Additional specs surfaced in reports this week, which list the phone as also having Bluetooth, FM radio, a Web browser, and messaging capabilities that include text messaging, multimedia messaging, and e-mail. The phone supports EDGE/GPRS/GSM network technologies.

The KF510 will become available in March globally, according to LG.

It's unknown if the phone will come to the U.S., although LG did set an ambitious sales goal for this year to sell $13 billion worth of products in North America. LG wants to become the second largest phone maker in North America and plans to achieve its goal by introducing high-end products that rely on advanced features and design, rather than low prices.

LG said it saw three newly-launched phone models do well last year. They are the Venus, the Muziq, and the Voyager.

16 GB iPhone Now Available


Apple on Tuesday rolled out new iPhone and iPod Touch models with beefed-up memories and bumped-up prices.

A premium iPhone with 16 gigabytes of memory and a 499 dollar price tag is now the top of that line, ahead of a model with half the memory and a price of 399 dollars.

An iPod Touch with 32 gigabytes of memory costs 499 dollars, relegating the 399 dollar 16-gigabyte model to second position. Apple sells an eight-gigabyte iPod Touch for 299 dollars.

"For some users, there's never enough memory," said Apple vice president for iPod and iPhone marketing Greg Joswiak.

Apple chief executive Steve Jobs says the California company has sold more than four million iPhones, touch-screen mobile devices combining telephone, video, music, and Internet connectivity.

IPod Touch models are essentially iPhones without the mobile telephone capabilities.

Apple's enhancement of memory capacities in its devices comes a month after the company added a movie rental service to its iTunes online entertainment store menu.

IPhone and iPod Touch models can download and present content from iTunes.

"Modular Cellphone" to be Launched by Modu Mobile



An Israeli startup has convinced wireless carriers in three countries to try a new concept: a tiny cell phone that pops into interchangeable "jackets" to become a bigger, smarter phone — or into other gadgets to connect them to the Internet.

The company, Modu, is set to announce Thursday that it will launch the phone, also called Modu, on Oct. 1 with Telecom Italia SpA in Italy, OAA Vimpel Communications in Russia and Cellcom Israel Ltd.

Telecom Italia Mobile and Cellcom are the largest carriers in their respective countries, while VimpelCom is the second-largest in Russia.

The Modu is slightly smaller than the current iPod Nano and weighs 1.5 ounces. It has a small color screen and a limited keypad, which allows it to work as a rudimentary cell phone on its own.

The jackets that will come with the Modu look like cell phones, with standard numeric keypads and other features like cameras. But they lack they lack the antenna and chips that communicate with a wireless network, and this is where the Modu comes in — it pops into a slot, turning the jacket into a fully functional phone.

Modu founder Dov Moran said in an interview that the Italian carrier is excited about the concept because it can make cell phones more like fashion, tempting consumer to update their looks every few months.

"This allows you to make a summer collection and a winter collection," Moran said.

"The carriers really are interested in having more and more customers coming through their stores, rather than signing up and coming every two years to sign a new contract and get a new phone," said Daniel Amir, a chip analyst at Lazard Capital Markets in San Francisco. He called the Modu a potential "game changer" in the cell-phone industry.

The jacket is cheap to make, has almost no electronics, and doesn't need to be tested by the carrier to see that it conforms to its network standards.

Moran estimates that carriers will be able to sell a Modu and two jackets as a bundle for about $280, a price that they can then subsidize down to free or almost free with a two-year contract.

The jackets that will be available at launch in the other countries reflect the differences between them. The Russian carrier wants an emphasis on kids, who are the big growth market for cell phones there, so Modu is making jackets with cartoon themes for them. The Israeli carrier wanted a cell phone for soldiers, so Modu is making a rugged, green jacket with a built-in flashlight.

Other jackets could focus on music, coming with pre-loaded tunes, or have full keyboards for texting. Universal Music Group said it is looking at making jackets that center on its artists.

Modu hasn't had the time to talk to U.S. carriers, Moran said. He expects them to be able to launch the phone in 2009 at the earliest.

A shortcoming of the initial model is that it will use General Packet Radio Service, or GPRS, for data transfer. It's a widely deployed but slow technology, roughly equivalent to dial-up in speed. That will limit the Modu's usefulness, but Moran said the company is working on upgrading it to use High-Speed Download Packet Access, a "third-generation" technology used by AT&T Inc., among others. An upgraded Modu would work with jackets and mates designed for the first-generation unit, Dov said.

Modu is also talking to consumer electronics companies like Magellan Navigation Inc., a California-based maker of Global Positioning System devices, and car-stereo maker Blaupunkt, a unit of Robert Bosch GmbH of Germany.

The idea is to have consumer electronics companies build slots for the Modu into their devices to give them network connectivity. That could allow a GPS device to receive updates on traffic or map changes. A picture frame with a Modu slot and loud speakers could act as a music-playing, picture-showing charging station.

Other cell-phone makers have been sniffing at the modular concept. Sony Ericsson has filed for a patent on a modular phone. But Modu appears to be furthest along in its plan, and has crucial support from large carriers.

Among consumer electronics companies, the quest to get connected to cellular networks has mainly centered on building wireless technologies into the gadgets, usually in the form of Bluetooth radios that connect to cell phones.

In a competing approach, some manufacturers are building full cellular modems into their devices. Amazon.com Inc.'s Kindle e-book reader contains a cellular broadband modem, for instance, and France's Parrot SA has built a cell phone into a photo frame so it can receive picture messages.

Cell-phone manufacturers, on the other hand, have been encroaching on the consumer electronics space by building more and more features into their phones, like cameras and GPS locators.

Moran, the founder of Modu, also founded M-Systems Ltd., which pioneered USB flash drives. The company was acquired by California-based SanDisk Corp. in 2006 for $1.6 billion.

Samsung G810 Challenges the Nokia N95


For more then a year since Nokia N95 was announced, nobody was able to produce something to at least match N95 feature set.

Well, finally we may have a real N95 challenger in the upcoming Samsung G810 handset, that, according to Mobil.cz, should be announced during Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, next week.
It seems that with Samsung G810, Korean handset maker took everything that made Samsung G800 cameraphone so cool, and added the missing features,features, for it to go head to head with Nokia N95.

Samsung G810 specs include:

* GSM/UMTS/3.6 Mbps HSDPA connectivity
* Symbian 9.2 OS with S60 3.1 UI
* 2.6″ 262K Color QVGA TFT display
* 5 megapixel camera with 3x optical zoom, anti-shake, face recognition, macro mode, autofocus, etc;
* 150 MB of memory and microSD memory card slot
* GPS navigation
* Wi-FI b/g
* Bluetooth 2.0 EDR, USB 2.0 (microUSB connector)
* 1200 mAh battery
* Dimensions: 104×52x9×18 mm

With an expected retail pricetag of 580 Euro, Samsung G810 will indeed be competing directly with Nokia N95/N95 8GB. And 5 megapixel camera with 3x optical zoom might just make G810 a worthy consideration.

But, of course, Nokia had more then a year to work on a new handsets, to follow through on innovations N95 brought. So lets see how that battle develops.

The focus on handset branding and design has paid of handsomely, with Chocolates and Shines selling like hotcakes in the mid range phone category, and LG Prada KE850 with LG Viewty making their mark among luxury/feature touchscreen handsets.

But, with the fortunes improving rapidly, it’s no time for LG to stop its mobile brand improvement efforts.

LG has announced that they have entered into a partnership with Paramount Pictures to have it’s lesser known phones - LG VX9400 TV phone and LG KS20 Windows Mobile smartphone - placed in an upcoming blockbuster movie “Iron Man”.

In the film, Iron Man Tony Stark (Robert Downey Jr.) will be talking on Verizon’s LG VX9400 TV phone, while his assistant Virginia “Pepper” Potts (Gwyneth Paltrow) will go around using the LG KS20 touchscreen smartphone.

24K Gold Blackberry


What do you get the person who has everything? Well how about a limited edition 24K gold Blackberry? Nothing says I love you, like the flash of gold, and diamonds can even be included if you prefer. The finish is handcrafted from rose Gold and looks extremely blingy. There is no price as yet for this baby, but if you'd even consider it I'm guessing that's not an issue. I don't think I'd be that impressed were I presented with this vulgar monstrosity, but I'd be pretty happy eBaying it later.

Available with Goldstriker

Sri Lanka Blocks SMS on Independence Day


Sri Lanka's telecom networks blocked text messaging on mobile phones as part of security measures for the national celebrations marking 60 years of independence from Britain, the phone operators said.

The main mobile service provider Dialog, in a message to its subscribers, said SMS (short message services) would not be available from 6.00 a.m. to noon, the duration of independence day festivities.

"We regret to inform subscribers that SMS services of all mobile operators will not be available...," said the company, a unit of Malaysian Telekom.

Officials said Sri Lanka's telecom regulator had ordered the suspension of SMS messages, fearing Tamil Tiger rebels could use them to scare people into staying away from celebrations.

Security has been raised to unprecedented levels across the country after a suicide bombing at the main railway station in the capital Colombo killed at least 12 people and injured more than 100.

A day earlier, an attack on a bus outside Colombo killed 20 people.

Monday's celebrations are the first national event since the government in Colombo last month withdrew from a 2002 truce with the Tamil Tiger guerrillas fighting for an independent homeland.

A Million iPhones Missing, Unaccounted For


A U.S. mobile phone retailer that sells software to unlock iPhones isn't surprised that more than a million of them seem to have "disappeared." And it thinks it knows where they are. Information Week reports.

"Wireless industry analysts have been investigating a mystery involving iPhones. The number of phones that Apple says it has shipped doesn't match up with the number of iPhones that AT&T and other wireless carriers have activated.

In reporting quarterly earnings last week, Apple said it had shipped some 4 million iPhones, while AT&T said it had about 2 million iPhone customers as of the end of 2007, in its quarterly report. More than a million iPhones seem to be unaccounted for.

Online retailer Wireless Imports thinks many of them are in Hong Kong. Wireless Imports has 500 to 1,000 iPhones that it has shipped locked in their original boxes. A large chunk of those units were sent to Hong Kong to be redistributed elsewhere and unlocked by the owners. The retailer estimates that there are 100,000 to 200,000 iPhones floating around in Hong Kong alone."

Japanese High School Girls Selling Sex Via Text


The Japanese police recently took into custody a group of junior and senior high school girls from Tokyo and Saitama, a neighboring city, who used coded messages to sell sex. Real sex,
not just virtual sex.

Apparently, potential customers received text messages similar to this: IkebLUVR1800Yukichi2JC1, which looks like an illogical association of characters. However, the Japanese authorities managed to decipher the girls' code, which is pretty well thought. The first part refers to the neighborhood the girls live in – in this case "Ikeb"stands for Ikebukuro. LUVR translates into "I'm willing to have sex with you", while 1800 is the time, 18:00 or 6PM.

Yukichi refers to Fukuzawa Yukichi, a Japanese writer and political theorist from the 19th century, and, if at first he doesn't seem to have anything to do with the whole matter, he does, indirectly, as his face appears on the 10,000 Yen bills. So Yukichi2 means the girl's services cost 20,000 Yen – which is exactly $187 and 18 cents. Furthermore, JC stands for Junior high school, while "1" means Grade 1, the equivalent of America's 7th grade. So the entire message means "I'm in the 7th grade and we can meet in Ikebukuro at 6PM to have sex, for 20,000 Yen."

What's striking (in a bad way) is the fact that the girls are almost kids, as the 7th grade students usually have 13 years. At the moment there are no details whether the girls acted on their own or they are part of a bigger prostitution ring, but both versions only demonstrates that there's something wrong with teenagers today.

A similar case to the Japanese one appeared in 2007 in Kuwait, when mobile users received text messages like "Hi! I'm Medeena, call me and I will make you happy and satisfied." Well, at least Medeena wasn't a schoolgirl.

Motorola May Sell Mobile Phone Division


Struggling cell-phone maker Motorola Inc. said Thursday it is considering separating the handset unit from its other businesses in an effort to snap a deep slump that has followed its meteoric success with the Razr.

Under pressure from unhappy investors for the past year, Motorola signaled a willingness to break itself up after more than a year of dismal results and declining market share.

The announcement after the stock market closed sent shares in the Schaumburg-based company up more than 10 percent.

Carl Icahn, the billionaire financier who lost a proxy battle with the company in 2007, said he was pleased to hear that Motorola is exploring a proposal he made last year but pledged another fight for board seats this spring.

"This announcement by Motorola will not deter us from that effort," he said in a statement. "We believe Motorola is finally moving in the right direction but certainly still has a long way to go."

Motorola said in a statement that separating the mobile devices business, which is dominated by cell phones, would "permit each business to grow and better serve its customers." Its two smaller businesses are home and networks, which sells TV set-top boxes and modems, and enterprise mobility solutions, which sells computing and communications equipment to businesses.

But it is the badly underperforming cell-phone unit which prompted the move.

"We are exploring ways in which our mobile devices business can accelerate its recovery and retain and attract talent while enabling our shareholders to realize the value of this great franchise," Chief Executive Greg Brown said in the company's statement.

A Motorola spokeswoman did not return phone calls seeking more specifics.

Morningstar analyst Jordan Zounis said the ambiguously worded statement could mean a spinoff, joint venture or outright sale.

"If the mobile device unit is separate from the firm, my guess is that it would most likely be in the form of an outright sale," he said. "A standalone business would be tough to spin off in the current environment, given where Motorola's infrastructure is right now."

Trading in Motorola's stock temporarily came to a halt after hours before shooting up $1.23 to $12.73. Shares had risen 21 cents to $11.50 in the normal trading session _ down 28 percent in 2008 and 56 percent since hitting a six-year high of $26.30 in October 2006.

Brown, who took over Jan. 1 following Ed Zander's resignation, last week bluntly portrayed a lack of progress toward a recovery when discussing Motorola's weak fourth-quarter results. The company's profit fell 84 percent, handset sales were down 38 percent, and he said its share of the world handset market continues to fall after being reduced by nearly half since hitting 23 percent at the end of 2006.

Nokia N95 8GB Gets FCC Approval



Nokia already announced the Nokia N95 8GB NAM on January 7th, 2007, but the FCC approval was nowhere to be found. Now it has appeared on the FCC pages. It is called the Nokia N95-4, supporting networks using 850/1900 MHz HSDPA (high speed data packet access) in the Americas.

It looks exactly like the current Nokia N95 8GB (Model Nokia N95-2), and we won’t be sure if there will be any unique features other than that 3G will work with AT&T’s 3G internet.
