Parrot Grande Specchio digital photo frame is designed to be on display / 06:53 19-11-2009
Digital photo frames belong both to traditional and modern homes. Every time we have demonstrated a picture frame that can display a slideshow of photos reflected on the screen in bright colors, our audience has been surprised and pleased. Surprised, because not many people know about digital photo frames and pleased when they realize that pictures keep updating on the frame. We tend to recommend picture frames that can access the Internet because the frame owner, for instance grandma, doesn't have to worry about changing new photos to the frame. Since a photo frame is also a highly visible object in a living room, the frame should be designed appropriately. That's exactly what Parrot's new frame does.

Parrot has introduced a digital picture frame you don't
Litl Webbook is an always-on, always up-to-date netbook / 05:10 17-11-2009
People who daily use a PC for communication, for information search or for social networking hardly give a second thought on how difficult it must feel for an absolute beginner to start using a PC. You have to set up the hardware, configure the operating system, install applications, configure applications, and determine a way to connect to the Internet. The visionary Asus EeePC, which ignited the whole netbook industry, was built on the premise of simplicity. Now, a small company called Litl has brought back care-free, easy-to-use netbooks.

The Litl Webbook is a 12-inch netbook that can be used like an ordinary laptop or like a tablet. The display can be folded backwards so that the device stands on its head (but the display image is not upside down). An optional remote control makes it possible to control the netbook witho
Live TV viewing, recording, program guide on the Nokia 5330 Mobile TV Edition / 04:32 16-11-2009
For years, Nokia has regarded the possibility to watch live TV on a mobile phone an important feature. The company has invested plenty of money and resources in the development of international standard for broadcasting digital television signal to low-power devices. The standard, DVB-H (Digital Video Broadcast-Handheld), has been around for a few years. Nokia has introduced a handful of smartphones that can receive DVB-H signal, and some countries are broadcasting or testing a new broadcast network for DVB-H. The adoption of DVB-H and other mobile TV technologies has been slow because of costs involved (additional hardware is required into phones and new network must be built)and increasingly easier access to Internet services like YouTube. Now, Nokia has decided to lower the device price poi
Nimbuzz smartphone application for free and low-cost phone calls / 05:04 13-11-2009
An advanced smartphone may cost up to 500-700 dollars or euros, but it can actually save a lot of money if its owner is savvy enough and knows how to use its advanced features. First, high-end smartphones come with Wi-Fi connectivity, allowing direct Internet access via hotspots. You don't have to pay your mobile network provider for Web and email access. Second, if you occasionally need to dial international numbers, you can bypass the expensive international billing altogether. The trick is to let the Internet carry your phone call practically anywhere in the world. You need a powerful smartphone that can run a Voip (Voice over the Internet) application. After the initial investment in the device, you win every time you make an overseas call because you only have to pay a fraction (if anything) for your calls.

Handheld Intel Reader can read out books, papers, ebooks / 05:45 12-11-2009
While ereader devices, such as Amazon Kindle, Sony Reader, or iRex are excellent products for storing thousands of ebooks and making it possible for people with normal eyesight to read their book collections from the sharp screen, these new devices haven't really helped people with poor eyesight. There are many people with dyslexia, weak eyes or who are blind altogether. For many years, PC applications that can turn computer text into speech have been available. Intel has taken this idea as the building block into its new ereader device, but the company enhanced the idea with a number of useful features.

The Intel Reader is a portable handheld device that lets you load books, papers, documents and ebooks into its storage and then you can listen to them, instead of having to read them. In principle, the device lets you liste
Compact mobile phone with touch screen and hardware keyboard, LG GW520 07:21 11-11-2009
First, the world had mobile phones with tiny screens and numeric keypads. As text messaging and email access became popular applications on the phones, some manufacturers designed devices with compact qwerty keyboards for more convenient typing. Another design revolution was originated by Apple when it introduced an excellent touch screen technology to mobile phones. The touch screen was great, but the virtual keyboard on the iPhone screen sucked. Other manufacturers realized the opportunity and a new class of mobile devices was born; smartphones that feature both a touch screen and a hardware keyboard.

The LG GW520 is a compact mobile phone that features both a touch screen and slide-out qwerty keyboard. The touch sensitive display is 2.8 inches in size and 240x400 pixels in resolution. The hardware keypad can be pushed under th

A new ringtone can give fresh feeling to a mobile phone that's been playing the same old tune for weeks, or even months.

Walkman phones forgotten already, here comes the Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 / 06:58 05-11-2009
Only a couple of years ago, Sony Ericsson's Walkman mobile phones were among the hottest products in the industry. They were stylish, small, features were allright, and above all, they were fine portable MP3 players. Where are Walkman phones today? At eBay and other auction sites, because Sony Ericsson is promoting a new brand; Xperia. The latest device in the product range, the Xperia X10 takes the brand to the next level above Walkman phones.

The Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 is a touch screen smartphone designed for multimedia and social networking.

How on earth can Nokia sell a mobile phone for 20 euros? / 05:07 04-11-2009
In principle, there are two ways to succeed in the mobile phone industry. You can design an attractive phone with all the features technology allows. Apple's iPhone that only wealthy people can buy is an example of this approach. The other way is to make dirt-cheap phones that practically anyone, even in remote villages can buy. The trick is to cut manufacturing costs so low that you can make a profit even when selling a phone for 20 euros. That's what Nokia has done.

The Nokia 1280 is a no-frills mobile phone that can do what a mobile originally was set to do; phone calls and text messages. The phone has been designed to be shared among family members or friends. Usually, a mobile phone is
Oliver 04:25 04-11-2009 Downloaded the Foocall app from the Apple App Store and I must say I am pleasantly surprised. It’s easy to use and the user interface is great. The call rates are also very competitive.
Rachel 05:05 03-11-2009 I've tried a few of these services and I like FooCall. The international rates are the lowest I've found and its easy to use. I don't have an iPhone, so I haven't tried their iPhone app but the other calling options are all straightforward.
Not for fools, but for everyone who wants to save on international calls; FooCall / 05:07 02-11-2009
After the Internet made it possible to route telephone calls to ordinary landline numbers and mobile phones, only people with too much money have made international calls using traditional telephone services. No one has to pay several dollars per minute only to call back home anymore. Fortunately, a number of new telephone services are offering free or low-cost rates for overseas phone calls. FooCall is one of them.

FooCall service is offering low-cost international phone calls for mobile phones, PCs and landline telephones. The rates are low, because the service is utilizing the Internet for routing the international portion of the call. Here's how it works. When you want to dial a number, say, in the Philippines, FooCall automatically gives you a local number (wherever you happen to be) to call. From the local number onwards, FooCall ro
Irex DR800SG ebook reader with touch sensitive e-ink display and downloads via mobile network 07:05 01-11-2009
As we expected, the trend in ebook reader devices is strongly pointing to touch-sensitive displays instead of exotic keypads featured on devices like the Amazon Kindle or the Sony Reader PRS-505. For instance, the Barnes&Noble Nook, Entourage Edge, and Sony Touch Edition all have touch screens of some sort. Irex, one of the pioneers in the ebook device industry, has introduced a touch screen device as well.

The Irex DR800SG ebook reader comes with 8.1-inch touch screen. Device menus and ebooks are accessed by tapping the screen with a stylus. The display is built on sharp, high-contrast and flicker-free e-ink technology that most ebook device manufacturers are using. Typic
