Nokia N95 8GB gains DLNA certification
Nokia is proud to announce that its vaunted N95 8GB cell phone is the first in the world to receive Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) certification. For those who are not in the know (I was certainly one of the unenlightened ones before I came across the press release anyways), DLNA is a body advocating the interoperability of wired and wireless consumer devices. What does this certification mean for the consumer? For starters, DLNA certification would mean “convenient and intuitive connectivity” between your future DLNA Certified home electronics devices, including personal computers, and your Nokia N95 8GB.

Awesome portable Dreamcast mod
When you ask gamers what their favorite console of all-time is, chances are that you’ll hear the name Dreamcast pop up with certain regularity. What’s facinating is that despite all it’s awesome features and extreme popularity with gamers, it was considered something of a failure to Sega, and marked their exit from the console gaming market. Well, some guy with a a lot of time on his hands decided that he loved his Dreamcast too much to leave it at home all day, so he turned it into a portable console.

SpinVox converts Voicemail to Text
If you’re like me, your voicemail feature on your cell phone takes forever, and is usually very useless. Personally, I think it would be better if my voicemails were converted into text.

19. Nose Picker for the Lazy Ones
Hey, what you have to say about thisgadget? Seriously not a device for people like me, and I wouldn’t prefer this over my real finger.

Triple SIM Card Mobile Phone (bluetooth, mp3, mp4, camera)
Model:BI-K988
Brand: Babiken
Origin: Made In China
Category:Computers & AV Digital / Mobile Phone & Accessories / Mobile PhonesKeywords: Mobilephone , triplesim phone , triplesim card
Price: USD $ 115 / pc
Min. Order: 20 pc
This is the first mobile phone with 3 SIM card slots built in. You can use three SIM cards in one mobile phone. This is for those who travel regularly different places. You do not have to take three mobile phones any more and let the hassle of changing SIMs go away because you just need to do a simple switching job on the phone menu when you travel to a new place. The only pity is that three SIMs do not work the same time.

World's smallest cell phone
Xun Chi 138 is the world’s smallest cell phone. It is just 6.7 cm long and weighs only 55 grams. Due to its relatively small size, it is not possible to include a keyboard. As a workaround, it features a touchscreen (260k colours) with handwriting recognition. In addition, the phone also features a 1.3 Megapixel camera, USB port, WAP, GPRS, MP3 player and 138 MB of onboard memory.
World’s Smallest Radio Is Way Thinner Than a Human Hair
Is that iPod Nano starting to feel a little bulky? No worries. Scientists have now created a radio made from a single carbon nanotube—a rolled up sheet of carbon atoms—that’s one ten-thousandth the diameter of a human hair. Two of the devices could fit into a common cold virus. The single tube performs all the necessary radio functions, and it’s tunable to your favorite FM station—if you have access to an electron microscope and some very teensy scissors.
This image taken through a transmission-electron microscope shows a single carbon nanotube protruding from an electrode. The red waves around the tip were added for visual effect.

Top 10 Most Expensive Mobile Phones in the World
Until recently, the vast majority of mobileshad been priced between £100 and £300, with only Vertu, a division of Nokia, manufacturing uber-premium phones. With prices starting at around £4,000 Vertu phones are only for the filthy rich, and the super famous.
However, Vertu’s monopoly of the luxury phone market is coming to an end with the launch of several new luxury mobile makers, including Gresso, Mobiado and GoldVish. Other mobile phone manufacturers are also partnering with luxury brands to produce a range of premium mobile phones, such as LGand Prada, D&G and Motorola, and now Tag Heuer and Modelabs. Finally, there are the ridiculous, super-expensive one-offs, made purely for headline grabbing, such as Goldvish’s “Le million”, worth a cool $1,000,000, see below for details!
10. Gresso Luxury Phone = £expensive
What is the system's official name? PlayStation 3.
When was the system officially unveiled? Sony officially revealed the PlayStation 3 at the Electronic Entertainment Expo during its press conference on May 16th, 2005. The system and a prototype controller were shown along with various tech demos and game trailers, though most of the trailers were CG "approximations" of what developers were aiming their gameplay experiences to be like. Region 20GB System 60GB System Japan 49980¿ 59980¿ US $499 $599 Canada $549 $659 Europe N/A €599 Australia N/A AU$999 In April of 2007, Sony announced that it would be dropping the 20GB model in the United States and only sell the higher-end 60GB version as that was the system that customers preferred by and large. The 20GB systems were not recalled or removed by stores and were still for sale while in stock, but Sony began only sending the 60GB models to stores from that point forward.
When was the system launched? The PlayStation 3 launched first in Japan on November 11, 2006, with the North American release coming a mere six days later on November 17, 2006. The system was then released in Europe and Australasia on March 23, 2007.
How much does the PlayStation 3 cost, and what configurations are available? There have been two different SKUs for the PlayStation 3, though some territories only saw the release of the higher-end system. The "high-end" version contains WiFi, various flash memory inputs (like Memory Stick and SD), chrome lining around the Blu-ray drive and a 60GB hard drive while the cheaper version includes a 20GB hard drive. Here's a breakdown of the system prices for each territory/country at the time of launch:
What does the PlayStation 3 look like? Like so:
Moving data using silicon chips
New Technology Article
Using photons rather than electrons to move data in chips
Today the world is hungry for bandwidth and speed. But this is limited by the way we use to connect various points. If you think am speaking about two buildings or even two countries, you are wrong. Am speaking about interconnections in a single chip. At present the interconnects in an IC is made with copper. But what is happening is at luxurious speeds as 10 billion B/s (bits per seconds) these interconnects prove to be less efficient.
