The N series Nokia’s get better and better each time they launch. But, ufortunatly the N99 is just concept at the moment. If it were to be real then it would feature a full qwerty keyboard as well as a touchscreen display. Also a hefty 8 megapixel camera was thrown in there and it has a 3.2 inch wide screen display. Ok, that is not all. GPS is included as well as wifi and lots of other stuff. Should this appear soon then we will let you know more details closer to it’s arrival.

Samsung have created a nice looking GPS device called the STT-D370 which has a 3.7 inch TFT screen, Bluetooth, SD memory and a removable battery. Looking at the screen it seems like it features a 3D mapping system which even shows a selection of buildings. No doubt this will be reserved for busy cities. It will be cool if they can allow users to submit 3D models to download to your device. The device will cost around 600 dollars when it is released in Korea but hopefully it will reach this side of the world soon.

Game and Watch games were huge in the 80s. I remember spending hours on the game that I had. The dual screens added more interest to the game and it was cool to carry one around. The old Nintendo dual screen games are what of course inspired the new Nintendo DS although the new Nintendo DS is obviously a tad more powerful 😉
These game and watch keychains are ideal for those who want a reminder of the past. They are the original games crammed in to a keyring sized console which you can carry around. At $8.99 they are a bargain and well worth checking out.

The other iPhone from Linksys was recently reviewed by the tech lounge. This iPhone is the CIT300 dual mode Skype phone and the review shows that the iPhone is an excellent device. The CIT300 costs around 80 – 90 dollars shipped and can use both SkypeIn and SkypeOut which allows you to call out of the skype network and also receive incomming calls from outside the skype network. The CIT300 phone seems to do what it should according to the review and has all the features that are expected in a VoIP phone. The only problem with the CIT300 is that it does require your PC to be on while using the service. However, if you choose to go for the CIT400 then this can be used over wifi and is totally indipendent.

Both of the above PMPs come with a 1.5 inch 128 x 128 LCD and are capable of playing MP3, WMA, SMV, JPEG and BMP. Included also is an FM tuner and usb 2.0 connectivity allowing you to transfer your music files as quick as possible. The battery poweres the device for around 10 hours and this is also removable. Nothing is really too exciting about this PMP but it does look great. Two models are available which are the 1GB N0041 and the 2GB N0042. The cost of these devices starts around 90 dollars for the smaller of the 2 players.

If you are still using slightly older technology such as PS/2 ports on your keyboard or mouse then this USB Hub could be an ideal option. If you are lacking the connections for PS/2 then this hub comes with 2 of those connectors built in and allows full connectivity for those older devices. At $12.50 it is priced well too.

UberGizmo were lucky enough to get their hands on a Pharos GPS 600 for review. The phone features a 2.8 inch display, has a matte aluminium finish and is powered by Windows Mobile 5. As the title of the phone suggests, GPS is built in in the way of a SiRFStarIII chip and the Pharos software called Ostia utilizes this very well. Integrated GPS is finding it’s way on to a few phones these days and it is very welcome as having this in your phone means that it’s less to carry and more functionality in your pocket. Connectivity is not lacking either and GPRS/EDGE, Bluetooth and Wifi are all built in providing some very nice access to the internet from any location. Unfortunatly this is not a 3G phone though. With a nice array of features this mobile/gps device is well worth checking out when it arrives in the shops next month. For the full review, check out UberGizmo.
Nokia has created the Explore concept which uses a community type set up. The idea behind this is that you share your discoveries with a community from the world.
The short video below is just one in a series of videos created by Nokia which show how mobile phones might change over the next few years. None of the phones are real (quite obvious when you see the video) but do show what Nokia’s vision is and where it wants to go.

It has been a while since we wrote about a robot and so I thought I best do that just today 🙂 The Omnibot stands 6.6 inches tall and comes kitted out with a remote control with built in LCD display. The remote control is used to program the robot, and allow for voice control to tell it what to do. As well as following your commands it can play music, dance and respond to various noises such as clapping and other actions. An even newer version is also due out which has a built in camera and coupled with wifi, the pictures of it’s location can be sent to a nearby PC. All sounds cool and good fun and will be available soon in Japan.

The Torian Infusion is a sweet looking MP3 player. For some reason it has been a while in the making and was first revealed at CES a few years back. The Torian Infusion as well as playing MP3 is capable of tuning in to your favourite FM stations, but this doesnt stop here. Using built in Wifi you can now connect to the internet and listen to radiostations by streaming the data to the infusion. To add to this, you are able to record this music to an SD memory card. The player will retail for 229 dollars.

With Windows Vista hitting the shelves recently you may have been inclined to ask what it is actually like. Below is a nice video which was thrown together showing the 3D version of changing between windows and how to flick through them. The interface looks good and is called Flip 3D.
