The Vaio P photographed at CES

January 7th, 2009

Atlast we have some concrete picture of the super Netbook from Sony. The Vaio Pocket or Vaio P whtever it is called. The picture is taken from a display screen and not hands-on, but we are hoping for more soon! The FCC previously leaked the dimensions at 9.5 x 4.5-inches and the other specs might well be as seen in the image before. Also clearly visible is a webcam (Motion Eye) next to the display. This one is surely power packed.

January 6th, 2009

Motorola has announced the A3100 which is believed to be the official replacement for the not so great A1200 (or the other Mings). This time powered by Windows Mobile 6.1 instead of Linux OS. The futuristic A3100 seems to draw its looks from the AURA (or just that their design team needs a originality refresh).

Sony Ericsson C510 aka Kate - Pictures Leak!

January 4th, 2009

Sony Ericsson C510 (also referred as KATE) is expected to release in Feb. This extremely good looking and sleek 3.2MP phone is believed to be the successor of K770. Featuring an accelerometer (yes seen before in K850i), and 160MB of inbuilt memory - I wouldn’t mind trading my k810i for this (Just that the buttons look a little difficult to operate; I guess they won’t be very comfortable, anyone with comments on that?).

Another Watch Phone: LG GD910

December 29th, 2008

I remember using a cheap wrist watch with calculator sometime in school (maybe 10yrs back); but then the whole world on wrist concept is some illusion that people are yet to get over. We are yet to see a good successful wrist phone and the ones that I personally saw were disastrous (Anyone remembers that Reliance Mobile?).

Here is another added to the list, The LG GD910 - Just another gadget we would see at CES 09.

Sony Jumping to Netbook wagon - ‘Vaio P’

December 28th, 2008

Vaio Pseries or Pocket Vaio whtever it would be officially called; Sony’s official netbook is all set to be revealed at CES (Jan 09). Dozens of leaked images and rumored specs are out there and no one is sure what would it really be. But as the name suggests It might well be ultra small to fit in a pocket, but with Sony my only hope is its not ultra expensively priced aswell.

While the whole concept of netbook is portability with affordability, Sony is know to miss out on the later. Pioneered by the Asus EEE the netbook revolution, we would need to wait and watch if it can spice up the competition in the netbook market!

Update: Another noteworthy product launch in pipeline is the MacBook Air competitor from DELL ‘Adamo’. Though no specific details are out, it is believed that it would be a Killer (Lighter and cheaper than the AIR)!

Nokia E63 Review - First Look

November 28th, 2008

E63 is very similar to the Nokia E71 with not much difference between them. Both handsets run on Symbian OS 9.2 S60 version 3.2, and are almost identical in shape/design. However the E63 would come significantly cheaper to the E71. Somehow this gives me a feeling that its price competition that Nokia wants to bring in. With the domiance of Blackberries in QWERTY’s and also the rising popularity of the iPhone and Windows Mobiles, Nokia needs to enter this segment with multiple option. Nokia has always relied on the numbers game. It rests on its worldwide depth to maintain its dominance in the cellphone industry. In developing nations like India, it has over a dozen models priced below Rs 8000. Hitting the nail right on the head!
