I can't take my eyes off N97 lately. I am still into keypad and N97 is definitely a head-turner.



But beware of the snap, you may find the clam-shell built a little bit too lousy/clumsy and noisy that it makes you worried that it might be a defect.

If you live in Singapore (or if you have buddies around there), take the opportunity to get the RAOUL special, limited edition N97 mini. The leather-heavy pack will contain a stripe-emblazoned N97 mini with a custom designed Fashion Asia widget and a calf-skin leather case.

The production is limited to just 1000 units (and it's kinda elitist)

Get your piggy banks right now and prepare for a budget of 400 euro or about $600

From CNET

I have recently been introduced to Dell's wireless charging capability and now mobile phones are into it also. And actually, they are the ones who are most likely to adapt the technology first.

The Powermat is a one-pad, one-plug system (pictured above right) that charges all your gadgets in one place without wires. Your gadget gets a special "Powermat Receiver" sleeve so that it can use magnetic induction charging to power your devices. (Aren't familiar with magnetic induction? If you've got an Oral-B rechargeable toothbrush, or a Palm Touchstone charger for your Pre, it's the same thing.)

What can be the weak point(s)? It can cost a lot

When Steve Jobs released iPhone on June 2007, the touch screen phone market went into a frenzy. TIME Magazine hailed it as the 'Invention of the Year' in 2007. The success went on. The 3G Version has been released in 2008.

Powered by its own Operating System (iPhone OS), it is built based on the Mac OS X technology which is responsible for its superb motion graphics.

But the almighty iPhone must not rest on its laurels. The Apple hype may not be forever successful and they might be too complacent to realize that their magic is over.

"Report: Android will leapfrog the iPhone by 2012"

So who the hell is Android?

Android is mobile operating system initially developed by another technology giant "Google".

By the end of 2009, at least 18 phone models are expected to be powered by the Android OS. Some of which are HTC Magic, HTC Hero and Motorola Cliq.

Based on the video notes, it is designed to run both on the GSM and CDMA band category which allows it to be used by most of the handsets on the market.

Watch the video about Android 1.6 here:


The demo video appears to be a great window of what Android can do. I actually think Android has a fighting chance against iPhone.

So watch out Apple.
