Greenphone - Nix Powered Phone
February 17, 2007
The GreenPhone from Trolltech which we wrote about last year is a linux powered mobile phone. It has a number of cool features such as EDGE, miniSD, camera and other standard features. However, it’s best feature is that it is fully programmable which allows you to make it do what you want, and set up the interface as you want. Of course you will need to have programming skills to get this thing going, but that aside, you still see a very cool looking phone. Check out the video after the jump.

Worlds Fastest Handheld
February 17, 2007
The worlds fastest handheld seems to be a bold claim although they could just be right 
DataWinds PocketSurfer 2 needs 7 - 9 seconds to fully load a web page. It features a QWERTY keyboard and a wide screen display. To access the screen and keyboard you flip the device open in what looks to be a similar way to the old PSION series 3a. The device uses windows internet explorer but does not use the windows mobile OS. Using the server version of IE it allows for a full web browser experience which is a great way forwards. Over all it looks like a very sleek phone which if the specs match is a nice step forwards in the mobile market.

The question has to be asked though - Is it concept? Read on to find out.

Ultra Small Hard drive
February 17, 2007
Storage space is increasing and the space it requires is shrinking. This new hard drive from Toshiba is just 0.85 inches in diameter. As can be seen in the picture above, it is small and approaching the size of an SD memory card. With a hard drive this size, it opens up more possibilities to put a small drive in to small devices such as PDA’s, mobile phones and cameras. We do not know yet the speed of the drive or the read and write speeds. However, just looking at the drive shows how technology has increased.
