The Nokia Metal Phone

2006-07-10T09:43:00.000-07:00

This is more art than anything with the Nokia acting as the illusionary Canvass.Jack Schultze and Matt Webb the inspirations behind the project have been using a low-melting point alloy to cast and recast a Nokia 5140i mobile phone shell using only hot air or water.The purpose being to ask questions about our expectations of Mobile phones.

The Phone's are really heavy because so you would need speacial magic pockets to carry them around. The metal reduces the effectiveness of the aerial so you’ll need to be closer to the transmitter. If you leave your mobile on the dashboard of your car on a hot day, you’ll come back to find the components in a pool of liquid metal. It’s not advisable to hold the phone in your hands for too long because cadmium is present in a low concentration.

The Samsung Q1-The Ultra Mobile Pc

2006-06-18T07:10:00.000-07:00

The essence of the Q1 the first in the series of Microsoft inspired products, is centered around it being a fully fledged multimedia device that allows the user to perform a varying range of functions among which include
: Connecting to the internet via wireless connection
: Playing music, Videos, and games
: Allowing the user to plug in a phone and make voice call over the internet.

Pretty nice features in one gadge,t but geez the Q1 doe nothing that other cheaper gadgets in the market already do. Many portable hand held computers and laptops allow you play games and store music on them so what makes this so ground breaking.
Drawbacks: Its major flaw is its lack of longevity when it comes to battery power, as the Q1 when fully only goes on for about 3.5 hours
Gig space is pretty minimal as the Q1 only packs 40 GB of heat on it
A retail price of £750 in the Uk would put a big hole in anyone’s wallet and is a major turn off

Positives: Extremely impressive outlook and a flexibility that offers great appeal due to its fusion of functions.

The Lg ads and billboards have been every were and its kind of difficult to get away from it. So we had to check the phone out and see what all the hype was about I must say it surprised us in a lot of ways. On face value you see why the phone won the IF design awards.

The stylish exterior and panache the phone exumes is very pleasing to they eye and goes against the grain of what you would normally expect from an LG phone which normally seems to cater to those just want a phone to make and receive calls and want to look really boring doing it. The phone has nine touch sensitive navigational controls which lights up bright red like Christmas lights when the slider function is engaged. Believe us when you say quite a few people would be impressed when you pop the phone out to receive a call.

In addition to the drool worthy exterior the phone also come with features you would expect a high end phone to com with. Ranging from the Mp3 player to a mega pixel camera and an extremely high resolution LCD screen. It also pretty cool the fact that the phone allows you to use your MP3 tones as a standard ringtone.

That being said you see why the phone won an ward for its external design as opposed to its innovative features a s you get the impression that LG compromised slightly on features in order to deliver a truly piccassoesque like phone.
Nevertheless this phone with huge similarities to the Motorola Razr would have your friends in a state of ore and is definitely one with the ‘wow’ factor.

The original buzz created by the introduction of the Sony Vaio U line in 2002 and the increasing need to fill the void for a product that full encapsulates the balance between style , increased usability, power and portability has culminated in the release of the Ux50,UX90s and Ux180P Vaio range of laptops.

The sleek silver and black paneling of the PDA automatically calls to all our sensiblilities and makes it harder to imagine that the Vaio possess the functionality of a full-size laptop or desktop with similar levels of accessibility and functionality.

On face value there quite a few drawbacks to this
The Vaio can easily be dismissed as an over sized extremely heavy PDA(The Vaio weighs 520g grams) with a battery time toppling just over 3.5 hours .

Our view is the drawbacks and positives of the Vaio cancel themselves out so if you have a few quid to spare and are trying to impress the missus or your friends with a totally ubber sheik gadget then the Vaio which would hit European store late summer is a sure bet.
