This is another funky gadget I have come across today. It’s a mini projector designed to work with your mobile phone. The device just plugs in and then it’s ready to go and project a video (not sure how big) on to a surface.

LG’s U400 3G slider
June 29, 2006 by Leave a Comment
LG created some great looking things I have noticed over the past year. I always thought of them as a cheesy brand. How little did I know!
Anyway, the new LG U400 3G slider has been launched and it looks fab. It has a glossy Black finish to it, has UMTS compatibility, and has a nice scroll wheel for MP3’s. Also built in is a 2 meg pixel camera and a Micro SD slot.

Samsung P300
June 28, 2006 by Leave a Comment
The P300 is the latest in the line up of mobile phones from Samsung. My first impression was that this looks like a calculator. It is a phone though 😉 and I am sure it does have a calculator on it too.
The P300 is the size of a credit card and not much thicker either. It’s dims are 8.6 x 5.4 x 0.9cm. It’s screen is a 1.8″ LCD which is very good on the eyes.
Important stats include Bluetooth, tri-band (900/1,800/1,900 MHz) GSM/GPRS network connectivity and a 1.3 megapixel camera with flash and 4x digital zoom. If that wasn’t enough the phone manages to pack in an MP3 player supporting MP3, AAC, AAC+ and e-AAC formats, a video recorder with playback and video messaging capabilities, and 80MB of memory.

Nokia N80 Video Review
June 27, 2006 by Leave a Comment
This is a bit late coming 🙂 But still worth a post. The Nokia N80 (out now) has the added bonus of wifi built in (which the N70 does not). This is a great move for Nokia because no one likes the sucky charges that WAP, GPRS, 3G etc… impose on us… so a wifi connection is just great. What I like about the N80 is the browser shown below. It can shrink down and then you can move a box around which will zoom in to where you want to see on the web site. Helps immensly for sidewards scrolling which should be made illegal 😉

Nokia N93
June 26, 2006 by Leave a Comment
The Nokia N93 is a little too big to be used as a phone in the oppinion of some. It does have plenty of nice features though such as a 3.2 megapixel camera, 50Mb memory, wi-fi, U plug and play, and a nice 2.4″ screen. It is powerful! No doubt about that.

Philips are launching the S900 phone although it probably will not be leaving the Asian market place unfortunatly. It features a touch screen, bluetooth, MiniSD, Mini USB and also a 2 Megapixel digital camera. Unfortunatly it’s only a QQVGA screen.
