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.

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).

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 today announced the 5800 touchscreen in India along with their music service Ovi. The much awaited touchscreen from Nokia comes as a competition to the iPhone. The pricing is what excited us the most; Rs 21839 only! While the iPhone is backed by the popular iTunes and the Appstore; Nokia still banks majorly on the Symbian OS and mass market approach.
Ovi is the name for Nokia’s “umbrella concept” Internet services. Centered on ovi.com, it will market as “personal dashboard” where users can share photos with friends, buy music and access third-party services like Yahoo’s Flickr photo site.

Call Of Duty is an action packed series that gives you a real World War feeling. Having enjoyed the previous editions of this superb action series - World At War looks tempting. Though I am yet to have my hands on it; here are the industry reactions to COD: World At War that was released on 11th Nov for Microsoft Xbox 360, Nintendo Wii, Sony PlayStation 2 & 3, Windows PCs and Nintendo DS.
World At War begins during the Pacific campaign in 1944 with The First Marine Division fighting the Japanese at Peleliu in the Palau Islands, east of the Philippines. The U.S. assault, according to Military History Online had the highest casualty rate of any War in the Pacific amphibious invasion.
“Using the same engine as Call of Duty 4, World at War looked predictably sharp. Light beams shining through the dense jungle and other whiz-bang explosions were on display. Speaking of that jungle, the soldiers wore camouflage that seemed to blend in even better than Solid Snake, a nice touch.”

The much rumored and leaked plastic body E71 aka Nokia E63 is now official. E63 offers 3G but no GPS or HSDPA. Available in two colors ruby red and ultramarine blue; I might trade in my E61i for this one!
Whilst appealing to a new group of consumers with a design that feels great in the hand and has two new colors, the Nokia E63 is still very much a member of the Eseries family. Petersen continues, “People use Eseries to access their corporate mail, review their calendar and work in their business network, so the Nokia E63 still includes Wi-Fi connectivity, easy access to Mail for Exchange and dedicated key access to contacts, calendar and email.”
The Nokia E63 also includes Files on Ovi, a service where people can get remote access to their PC files even when their computer is offline. Anyone buying the handset will have access to 1GB of online file storage for free.

Sony Ericsson is banking big on the C905! And here is what they have to promote it. An entire AD Campaign shot by the C905. The same would be in December’s issue of FHM. SE is eying for a Christmas release of the C905 featuring the much hyped 8.1 megapixel camera. While the debate is still how if Camera-phones would replace your basic digital cameras, this particular SE promotion doesn’t amuse many.
“your ad uses a professional model, a fashion photographer, professional lighting, and makeup, not to mention all that retouching, and we’re supposed to be impressed with the camera? [Engadget]

A1200 and ROKR were disappointing for me, and nothing matches up to the class of the good old A760. But something that looks a little promising to me is this new Krave ZN4. Though ZN5 was no touchscreen, this one is more on the lines of the A series.
Zn4 features 130MB internal memory with MicroSDHC slot, 2MP camera with video recording, 3G, GPS, Voice recorder, Bluetooth with Stereo and more.
The most catching point of the ZN4 is the flip, even when closed, the interactive clear flip provides fast, one-touch access to the camera, picture gallery, live TV, music, VZ Navigator, and viewing of pictures and text messages so it’s easy to access your favorite features. With the flip open, you can access the full range of menu options.

The New MacBook Pro
The recently announced Macbook and Macbook Pro updates have made its way to India within days of its US launch. Also coming this November is the Apple 24″ Cinema Display!
The new Macbook and Macbook Pro are way ahead of their time and competition. Notable enhancements include an aluminium unibody, slimmer / sleeker and lighter design, enlarged glass trackpad with new touch features, and LED-backlit display.
Aluminum Precision unibody enclosure: The most stunning factor of the new MacBook’s is the body design. To eliminate unwanted parts and complexities the base of the new MB and MBP are carved out from a single block of aluminum (Video and more here). Thus resulting in thinner, more durable and incredibly beautiful designs.
