First ELSE Mobile Phone Hands-On

We managed to test the First ELSE Mobile Phone from a new company called ELSE Mobile at CES this week. From the few minutes we got to play with the phone you can tell they have a very unique and smart approach to the phone design. It was immediately easy to use and intuitive.

The keyboard was really good at figuring out what you typing, and despite it being small, it was pretty accurate. For being a pre-production phone, the UI was extremely fluid. The phone app was really cool. [Read more…]

Panasonic Show 1TB and 2TB Memory Cards in Roadmap

Panasonic have on display at CES 2010 a roadmap of memory cards that they are working on along with their potential speeds. What’s interesting to see here is at the top right of the page you’ll see a 2TB memory card which is quite an achievement (see larger version of the image below).

Although the 2TB card is still a way off, the 1TB card should be with us towards the end of this year. The new memory cards fall in to a new category called SDXC cards and will start at 48GB in capacity moving up to 64GB, 128GB, 256GB, 512GB, 1TB and 2TB variations. The previous cards known as SDHC show as having a speed of up to 22MBps. The newer SDXC cards unfortunately don’t show the speed although it is indicated that the speed will increase on these new range of cards. The specifications for SDXC do show possible speeds of up to 104MBps so it shows what potential these cards can actually reach. [Read more…]

Google Nexus One Teardown

iFixit managed to quickly get their hands on the new phone from Google [GOOG] called the Nexus One that was announced and put on sale yesterday.

The Google Nexus One has a 1GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor inside and has a very nice 3.7 inch 480 x 800 WVGA AMOLED screen that has capacitive touch. Google describe the phone as being a “superphone” due to a few features not currently found on other Android phones.

As always, iFixit were very quick to break apart the $530 phone to see what was inside. Tools required to get the phone apart included the iPod Opening Tools, a T4 Torx Screwdriver and a Philips #00 Screwdriver. [Read more…]

Sony Alpha A450 DSLR Announced

Sony have announced a new camera in the Alpha range called the Sony A450. The A450 DSLR is a cut down version of the A500 in some ways in that it has a 14.2 megapixel CMOS sensor (same as the A500) but lacks fast-AF live view and lacks the tilting/swivelling screen.

The screen it’s self measures 2.6 inches making it relatively small also. By cutting screen size down and removing some of the features the battery life has been improved allowing it to capture over 1000 shots on a single charge.

The camera is kind of a confusing one according to DPReview as it has features of the A230 with a larger battery life making the lower range of cameras quite complicated in that they all vary by just a few features. [Read more…]

Rumour: Google Nexus One on AT&T

BGR have posted a rumour/unconfirmed information about the Google Nexus One being made available unlocked on the AT&T network. The AT&T version will be 3G compatible. The person who provided the information to BGR also said that it will be a second unlocked model with T-Mobile still having the unsusidized version although I assume both types of phone will be sold on the Google site as previously mentioned.

Although just a rumour and very unconfirmed at the moment, we only have to wait till the 5th (next week) to see what Google has planned for the phone if that is what the press event is about. [Read more…]
