I never saw this coming from Nokia, but they’ve done it and called it the N82 (not officially announced). It looks like a serious rival for Sony Ericsson’s K850i. Even though Sony’s always known to add more features than Nokia , the N82 seems to be loaded with a little more than what the K850i offers. We aren’t sure of the final list of features, but here’s the rumor list according to those at engadget. The N82, will supposedly feature a quad band GSM, HSDPA, WiFi, GPS, FM tuner, Bluetooth, a 3.5mm audio jack,a 2.4 inch QVGA display with auto rotating like in the iPhone, microSD expansion and of course a 5 megapixel camera, with Carl Zeiss lens and xenon flash. For those of you who are looking towards getting the K850i, wait and see what Nokia has to offer both in terms of features and competitive pricing. Brand loyalists, don’t bother.

Update: Here’s the final specs on the N82 which is now officially released…. Read the rest of this entry »

It sends out omni directional sound and can be printed on too!Fils is currently promoting the film speaker industry based in Korea.

Wireless is the word these days. Eventually everything around us will be wireless and hopefully even power too! Won’t that be cool. The home theatre system has always been at the center of our entertainment system and we’d like to show off by calling friends home and blasting that system to make them feel they’re part of the movie. But the ugly part of an home theatre system is the wires that come along with it. Unless you conceal them or cleverly hide them, it’s gonna look like one of those server rooms. Currently there are systems with wireless rear speakers and even the front speakers have gone wireless. But here’s a system that’s completely wireless and I mean both audio and video… Read the rest of this entry »

This is what Audi’s future car keys are to become. It’s part of the Audi metroproject concept and is called the Audi mobile device. This mobile devices works as an access system for the vehicle and all its features like the mobile phone, navigation system, audio and video player. The menu is based on the interface found in the high spec Audi models. The mobile device sports both WiFi and 3G technologies. The handset also works as a mobile phone, MP3 player, vehicle control system and input device for the car’s navigation system. It can also be used to turn the heater system, open/ close the car and even store images taken by the Audi’s on-board cameras. So here’s what it could do. The car can now take pictures of a probable intruder and send you a mug shot via WiFi and later switch to the car’s tracker to show you it’s current location. The touch sensitive screen will also understand handwriting. Does this mean car manufacturers will soon create their own mobile phones with car access capabilities. Check out for more pictures after the jump. Read the rest of this entry »
