Motorola MOTOSHOT L11 Shows Its Face Again

We’ve met this Motorola concept phone a couple of months ago and saw it in the hand of David Beckham, at least in theory. check out the following pic for a fresh image of the device designed by Ravefolk from the Motorolafans forum.

Thumbnail Watch goes where no watch has gone before

If you’ve seen the last Die Hard movie, the villain has one of the best quotes ever when it comes to technology. He tells John McClane that “he (John) is a Timex watch in a digital world.” In all honesty, I’m not certain that anyone is using watches, digital or analog, in today’s society. I stopped wearing one long ago when I got my cellular phone.

It appears that Timex is completely reinventing the watch with the Thumbnail watch. The company had a design contest to come up with a new design for the watch, and this is one of the better entries.

I have heard that the Thumbnail watch is designed to slip over your thumb, so I’m guessing that no Lee Press-on nail action is required. The time glows on your thumbnail, and it can light up and change modes just by pressing the end of the thumbnail.

I can’t quite figure out what type of technology is used to make this device work. If this is some new sort of LCD, then why not apply it to all the nails. Can you imagine having a computer interface like this on all on your nails?

Maybe your cell phone could be on your pinky, so you can take calls by making the “phone” sign on your hand. The iPod on your ring finger, and a ring could be the speaker. Your middle finger could be a Blackberry, but just be careful not to flip people off when checking your e-mail. The pointer finger could serve as a digital camera, and all you would need to do is point and shoot.

We’d better see where the Thumbnail watch goes before we speculate on the other fingers.

MobiFrance Concept Phone, the Perfect French Gift on July 14th

MobiFrance celebrated the French Independence Day on July 14th by showing the world a neat concept phone shaped like the Eiffel Tower. The concept bears the name of FL (French Luxury) and it’s a touchscreen handset with a 7.2 megapixel camera.

If you hold the phone vertically it looks just like the famous French monument, the Eiffel Tower and you’ll also notice that it features speakers on its sides. The FL supports multimedia playback, features a vibration mode and that neat touchscreen is an OLED display. No news about the price of this beauty, but it’s pretty interesting to see the Sony Ericsson branding on it.

Casio EX-Z150; world’s slimmest digital camera with wide-angle zoom lens

Casio has added a new ultra-thin point-and-shoot in their Exilim lineup, the EX-Z150. Measuring a mere 20.1 mm in thickness, Casio said that the EX-Z150 is the world’s slimmest digital camera touting a wide-angle 28 mm 4x optical zoom lens.





But that is not to say that the EX-Z150 falls short in terms of features. On the contrary, this snapper is loaded with high-end features such as an 8.1 megapixel CCD resolution, CCD-shift anti-shake function, face detection technology, 3-inch high resolution LCD monitor, support for various media card formats including SD/SDHC, MultiMediaCard, Multi MediaCard plus, video recording in AVI and MPEG formats, 64-1600 ISO sensitivity and its Li-ion battery can take up to 280 still images per full charging time.

“Hole” Concept Phone Designed for Orange is a Winner

This interesting design won the annual D&AD Student Awards and the concept handset belongs to Chi Shing Lo, one of the talented students at the De Montfort University. The “Hole” phone features (predictably enough) a hole, that can be used for charging purposes (inductive), as a data transfer port and last but not least as a camera view finder.

The above-mentioned hole is surrounded by a mirrored surface, so it’ll allow the user to take his/her own picture, for the usual narcissistic fun. Hmmm, how about using that hole as magnifying glass with the aid of a lens or as a wrench if your imagination is wild enough.

Oh and by the way, the handset was designed for Orange so that’s a semi-promise that it’ll become real one day.

Basic Tab Phone Design Challenges the iPhone

The Basic Tab mobile phone design manages to achieve a new interpretation of the whole “iPhone thing”, copied over and over again by big handset manufacturers. Its designer, Jaren Goh focused more on looks, than on futuristic specs and he did a splendid job, so we might as well call this a fashion device.

Just look at the wide black screen at the front of the Basic Tab phone, a tad more elegant than Apple’s approach. Notice that the display is placed on top of a metal part and it gets a bit of RAZR aggressiveness going on. In case you’re not convinced that this is really a fashion phone, you should check out the camera’s metallic tab at the back. Precious, just precious…

Splashtop Linux variant to power up Asus notebooks

If you’re one of those PC users who always find yourself doing other things while waiting for your machines to completely boot up, either you’d be glad to hear about Splashtop or feel sad since you might end up not doing those other things anymore. But that is if you are using an Asus notebook as these machines will be getting the Splashtop Linux OS treatment.

If you would recall Splashtop has been pre-installed on some Asus motherboards not so long ago, and soon enough it will be powering some Asus notebook as a full-blown OS. If you think that the Splastop is just your ordinary Linux variant, think again. Well, that’s because Splashtop offers up a unique PC boot up experience. Soon, you can instantly fire up some application even if your machine has not completed its boot up sequence. What makes this possible is the fact that Splashtop will run out of your machine’s RAM. Hence, saving you some precious battery time.

In a nutshell, Splashtop offers a fast, secure and eco-friendly way of using your Asus machines. For those who are not using Asus notebook this might be a good reason to score one as soon as the Splashtop gets into these machines.

BenQ intro’s world’s slimmest 8-megapixel T850 camera

BenQ has just launched its latest digital camera offering, and boy can we just say that it sure is slim. In fact this ultra-compact camera, dubbed the T850 may just be the slimmest in the crowd so far at only 14.9mm thick. But no matter how much we convince you that this baby is as sleek as it can get, we know that you would rather know about its features and functionality. Luckily, the T850 delivers a nice little punch that might drive you to consider getting one as soon as it becomes available.

The T850 packs good features such as a high 1600 ISO sensitivity, 3x optical zoom, 3-inch TFT LCD, 8.0-megapixel CCD sensor and SD/SDHC media support. But aside from these features, what makes BenQ T850 stand out among the crop of digital cameras in its line is its touch screen feature which would allow you to access camera functions by finger tapping, encircling or swiping. And yes, for a digital camera which employs actual “swiping” gesture to view photos, the T850 hits one mark on this one.
All these nifty features add up to other equally good features of the camera which include, “smile catch” technology, auto face tracking, Z lighting, advanced photo art, scribble and scrawl and quick bar.
If only BenQ has already announced the T850’s pricing and availability details, we might already be saving up for it.

Via’s new OpenBook reference design

Via, the company that brought us the NanoBook, has a new reference design; a computer called the OpenBook. This design is changed from the previous iteration, modeled to compete with the Asus Eee PC which has launched since the original NanoBook was unveiled. The computer sports an 8.9-inch display, with a 1024 x 600 resolution, three USB ports, VGA out and two 2-megapixel cameras. Additionally, it can connect to the internet via HSDPA, WiMAX or EV-DO. For the small form factor, a colossal 2GB of RAM and a 2.5-inch hard drive is squeezed in. You can run Windows Vista, XP or any Linux distro as your operating system. The OpenBook is based on the C7-M ULV processor and the VIA VX800 chipset, and you can get around 3 hours of battery life; in optimal conditions.

Via is putting the CAD files of the hardware up for download under a Creative Commons license, OEM manufacturers can have a go at making this the best they see fit.

Mozilla to release an RC2 before the final Firefox 3

We have seen numerous reports, those even coming directly from Mozilla about how we can expect the final release of Firefox 3 to land this June and up until now it looked like it was right on track. While we have not heard any news of a major delay with that expected date, the latest news may push it up just a little bit. Recently we had seen the reports that ten critical flaws had been found in Firefox 3 RC1.

Since then Mozilla had been working to decide whether to ship the final “consumer-ready” release and then fix the flaws with version 3.0.1 or just move onto a Release Candidate 2. Well it seems the decision has been made, because they have officially announced that we will indeed be getting an RC2 before the final.

Sony Ericsson’s XPERIA X1 gets more details

The buzz and hype over Sony Ericsson’s upcoming XPERIA X1 smartphone continues to build up as Sony Ericsson’s developer site posted an updated white paper about the mobile phone. The white paper is still a long read and might bore you to death so if you don’t have the time to check it out, the paper contained two bits of new and welcomed information.


So now, aside from the details that we already know as well as some pre-order pricing from some wireless carriers, we were also able to learn that the XPERIA would have 256MB of SDRAM and a 1500mAh lithium polymer battery which can give out a good 10 hours of talk time via GSM or 6.5 hours via UMTS.

iDEN Motorola i890 CABO

iDEN Motorola i890 CABO will be available in april.no word about the price and specifications



Wow, never thought we'd see the day that an iDEN handset came along that lacked that distinct iDENness. Motorola will definitely set that marketplace on fire if this beautifully RAZR 2-esque thing actually proves to be real, check out the frickin external screen on this thing! Featuring a 3 megapixel camera, external touch screen -- we're not positive if this only refers to the controls pictured above -- Bluetooth, support for up to a 6 GB SD card, and have we mentioned how glorious the whole thing looks? Look for this to land Q4 this year, that is, if it ever gets out of Photoshop the design room. Color us pretty unsure until we hear more.
