Cool Chinese Tech-Cool G108 Watch Phone

China, a symbol of copying the originals, now has come up with its own. An attractive one when it comes to features and compactness, the round shaped watch phone comes in a clamshell design, as a watch when closed and a phone when opened. Opening it we have a Motorola RAZR style beautifully illuminated keypad with the ‘mouse pad’ in the center and numerical buttons go along the circumference. The screen we have is the 1.5″ LCD with the 256K of color display and 128 X 60 pixel resolution. Featured heavily in its small body of 51 X 51 X 20 mm(compared to mobile phones having that much features) and weghing only 65 grams, the watch phone incudes a camera of 1.3 MP, a speakerphone, a media player, built-in 0.5 MB memory and a slot for a removable memory, support for quad-band GSM and GPRS, USB connectivity and of course, SMS/MMS.

No word yet for pricing but I am sure keeping in mind the low pricing of Chinese products, it will be very much affordable for the masses.

Nokia Aims To Kill iPhone With It’s “iPhone Killer”

Presented in the Evans Data Developer Relations Conference, held in California, this handset is based on Symbian S60 platform. Told as Nokia’s first touchscreen handset, codenamed ‘Tube’, the big one from Nokia expected to be released end this year, because there going also some high-ends to be released then and a healthy competition is likely to be created. Although Tube appears almost as an iPhone copy, with the only noticable exception of Nokia’s logo, iPhone has readily been challenged by Nokia, hence called the Tube iPhone Killer. It will be interesting to see an iPhone copy going to ‘kill’ iPhone.
Nokia seems quiet an aggressive guy in a mood to outclass the another guy iPhone who has been quiet successful so far but a ‘not-giant’ in the world of handsets which is dominated very much by the former. And because of this there are received some strict signals from Nokia.

Comparing the sales which iPhone had in the last six months with that of Nokia’s, in the very words of Forum Nokia’s vice president, Tom Libretto:

“We’ve done that since we’ve had dinner on Friday”.

Note that the sales magnitude of some days of Nokia included all of Nokia’s models while its iPhone alone the model on the other side which took almost half a year to come to the sales point equalling the former. Such an ‘expert’ comparison, by a man of such designation? What could be said about it.
The Tube will have 3G connectivity and java support, features which the iPhone lacked. No words for the exact date of shipment and price yet.

Yahoo Centers Its Sided Logo, Plan To Follow Google?

Yahoo modifies its homepage with the centering of its logo which was on the left side of the page previously. Some people may think of this stuff as not-so-deserving to be in the news as its just a logo relocating process but others may look at it as a business tactic to attract the surfers (as Google has done). Also, any unimportant stuff when associated with a giant, becomes one the popular news. Google’s very successful history is said to be the result of Google’s simple homepage with the logo in center, I think that Yahoo is trying to follow the Google footsteps by nearing Google in terms of logo. Is Yahoo going to simplify its homepage by taking next step towards ‘cleaning’ its homepage and further nearing Google? Also, Yahoo had its logo centered before the previous modification, Just Whatever the Sunnyvale giant’s people had planned for, either normal updating or Google following? The step is in the news and as such that it had appealed me to write this post.

OCZ’s SSD Enables You To Read And Write Data Faster Than Ever

Technological advancements are resulting in to facilitate people with features like lesser expenditure of time to do a task and with more accuracy, lesser consumption of space by a device and lesser spending of money for more better devices.New Solid State Drives from OCZ Technology fulfill the ‘merit criteria’ written above. With the speed of 120 MB/s for reading and 100 MB/s for writing the data, this second generation of OCZ SSDs have doubled the reading speed and remained slightly short of tripling the writing speed when compared with its predecessor which had the 58MB/s and 35MB/s reading and writing speeds respectively. One thing which is common in both is the size i.e. 2.5 inch. Also this generation of SSDs are less pricey than their predecessors with the price tag of $1099 as compared to the previous one which was $1200 with same capacity of 64MB which was the only model available in that generation. The another model in the new SSDs is 0f 32MB capacity and worth $499.

The data reading speed of 120 MB/s has resulted in the upgradation of the SSDs to SATA-II standard, since that much speed of 120 MB/s is beyond the capabilities of the SATA-I standard. By upgrading to SATA-II standard, the data transfer rates are extended to 300 MB/s, which I think could be capable enough to work with the future generation SSDs of more increased speeds.

These 100.2 x 70 x 9.5mm Solid State Drives come up with RAID support and 2 million hours of MTBF, weighing only 77 grams giving themselves a significant edge over having bulky conventional Hard Disk Drives. Also, these SSD drives are more reliable in a way that they are less prone to damage with shock resistance of 1500G than more fragile HDDs.

After getting known of these SSDs from ‘all-sides’, the bad thing I have found about these devices is of its price, which is somewhat made to manage in the second generation, still is quiet more. But the hope is also there as there are claims that these devices would have their prices lowered after some time to an affordable point.

iMac: Could The Concept Become Reality?

Dreamt by the Designer Nuno Teixeira, the iMac, with a curved screen in front and another in back and cameras on both the sides. The screen on the front side of iMac has been to curvy for the reason I think is to make it somewhat ‘compatible’ with the human eye. I don’t see a stand attached to the iMac in the images which afraids me of iMac getting disbalanced by a slight wave of wind or a slight mishandled touch of your hand and then getting knocked over and damaged.

The two displays on both sides made me to think that if it’s to enable two to operate at once? And if it’s not for this, I don’t see any advantage of two displays, do you?

It’s unofficial, also being said unrealistic, have your say, will it get materialize?
