Sometimes being tight with a company is a double edged sword. Take the recent unveiling of the Nokia N800. I’d been using the device daily for a month but couldn’t post the images or do an unboxing because I am under NDA to the company; that’s the admission price I paid to have access to […]

Sony today revealed four additions to its Cyber-shot digital camera line: the DSC-W55, DSC-W35, DSC-S700 and DSC-S650. The slim, compact DSC-W55 and DSC-W35 models will sport 7.2-megapixel imagers and precision Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar lenses with traditional, eye-level viewfinders plus large LCD screens. The W55 camera will come in blue, pink, black and silver with a […]

As the widely and eagerly anticipated successor to the Nokia 6102i, the Nokia 6133 was slated to be a sophisticated update to Nokia’s line of flip phones, and chosen by T-Mobile over the internationally released Nokia 6126. With an eye catching clamshell design, the Nokia 6133 offers a sleek push-button flip release unleashing multimedia features […]

In terms of design, HP has come up with something that looks rather different from the norm. It is all round silver, which these days is the exception rather than the rule. Most of the casing is plastic, and the battery cover feels rather flimsy. There is a nasty plastic cover which protects the screen […]

Rather than the usual square LCD, the K790’s 1-1/4 x 1-5/8 inch screen is more radically oblong, handy for both viewing long menu lists and as a wider viewfinder for the digital camera. Thanks to Sony’s Scalable Vector Graphics software, both images and text are rendered smoother, crisper, cleaner, and more readable than we’ve seen […]

Apple’s iPhone was a hit at Macworld and on Wall Street. Consumers, however, will have the first opportunity to give their verdict in June. The company is moving into a cellular phone market with which it has little experience. iPhone prices have been set well above those of competitors, and depending on the outcome of […]

STEVE JOBS, Apple’s showman nonpareil, provided the first public glimpse of the iPhone last week — gorgeous, feature-laden and pricey. While following the master magician’s gestures, it was easy to overlook a most disappointing aspect: like its slimmer iPod siblings, the iPhone’s music-playing function will be limited by factory-installed “crippleware.” If “crippleware” seems an unduly […]

Fujifilm’s FinePix S6500fd digital camera sports one key selling point: industry-first hardware-based face detection technology to enable the camera to recognise faces and optimise settings to get the best photograph in just 0.04 seconds. Along with Fujifilm’s 6-Megapixel Super CCD sensor and Real Photo Technology II, impressive ISO 100 to 3200 sensitivity and Fujinon 10.7x […]

“A widescreen video iPod, a phone and an advanced internet communicating device”- this is how Steven Jobs described the long expected phone from Apple. What impact will it have on the company’s most popular product? I remember that when Apple’s co-founder began his presentation of the iPhone, he mentioned first the widescreen video iPod, just […]
