The LG KH1000 is a new handset to hit the market. It is a HDSPA enabled slider phone which has a 2.2 inch widescree TFT screen. A built in 1.3 mega pixel camera. 2GB flash memory with 1GB SDRAM. Something that grabbed my attention is the video conferencing ability. It has a hefty price tag but seems like a powerful device with nice amounts of built in memory to justify that.

SlashGear got their hands on the TORQ N100 GPS PDA phone and did the good old unboxing ceremony. Their verdict is that it’s a nice device with lots of good things crammed inside. Features such as GPS, a 1.3 Mega pixel camera and it runs Windows Mobile 5. With it having Windows Mobile 5.0 you get the usual standard stuff such as the web browser, Media player and other MSN type software. The N100 does not have EDGE support but can connect to the internet via GPRS. Battery life is something else which caught my eye. Running as a PDA you can get around 10 – 15 hours, running as a phone you get around 4 and GPS goes lower then that. Still very good and useful for the traveler.

Sony are celebrating the new Bond movie named Casino Royale, by launching 007 type gadgets. Amongst these gadgets we have a 007 Vaio TX, 007 Digital Camera and a 007 Micro Vault. The 007 Vaio TX is the ultra portable PC which is made of constructed aluminium with a 007 gun logo embossed on the shell.
The 007 digital camera is the Sony Cybershot DSC-T50 which again, is in a sleek black colour. Other features such as the screen privacy filter can be added along with the 007 case to carry them all in. The case might be taking it a tad over the top though 😉

The N95 is due out in the next couple of months and is 1 amazing phone. Features such as GPS and a 5 megapixel camera make this phone come out tops. What else grabbed my attention is the 3D graphics chip that is rumoured to be inside. The video clip below shows the 3D capabilities of the phone in the form of a built in game. The frame rate does look great. Check it out.
Mobilepirates have done a great video review of the Nokia N95. This phone looks absolutly amazing. Features built in are GPS, Maps, wifi, DVD/MPEG4 quality 30fps video recording, 5 mega pixel camera, dual sliding phone, 3.5mm headphone output, TV output and more. The web browser has had a huge enhancement over the average mobile phone browser and boasts the ability to run several pages and switch between then just as you would on your PC.
This new technology from Siemens looks interesting. It is designed for your car and has a camera built in which reads road signs, processes the image, displays the speed on your screen and tells you if you are over or under the spead limit for that particular road. It makes me wonder if it can detect the good old national speed limit signs here in the UK which can mean either 60 or 70 depending on what type of road you are on 🙂
