You’ve probably caught sight of the recent white iPhone 4G casing, and now someone has taken the time to come up with renders of the white iPhone 4G, showing us what a fully-white iPhone 4G would look like. We have to admit, it looks good, and it would probably entice folks as much as the white iPhone 3G/3GS would. If Apple were to release the iPhone 4G in white and black, which color would you opt for?
So Thanko came up with a Bluetooth-capable timepiece that connects to your cellphone, functioning as a hands-free device. Dhgate.com goes one up with the Assassin Watch Phone – this quad-band watch phone comes with a touchscreen display as well as multimedia playback capability, although we don’t think you would appreciate watching Avatar on such a tiny 1.3″ display. Still, it sports an integrated digital camera, a Bluetooth connection, a miniSD memory card slot for expansion purposes and an integrated FM radio. If you’re interested, do be prepared to part with $130 for this puppy. Looks like phone watches are set to be a niche market for a long time, since it isn’t all that practical no matter how many features you cram inside. Do you think this is a killer device that deserves its name?
The Media Pro HD, a full HD networked hard drive media player might be just the tonic for your living room, where it hooks up in a jiffy to any HDTV or A/V receiver to get you started almost immediately. With a hot-swappable hard drive tray, you can easily swap between your collection of hard drives to play the intended movie, image or music files. Apart from that, you can also hook up to your home network sans wires, but if you still prefer an old school wired connection, there is always the option to do so via Ethernet. When not at home, why not program the Media Pro HD to download selected BitTorrent files, or stream music/videos when you’re working? A powerful Sigma Designs SMP8635 CPU and Silicon Image SiI9134 HDMI 1.3 transmitter runs at the heart of the Media Pro HD, where the only beef we have against this $215 device would be its choice of design.
Finally the Nokia N8 breaks its way free into the daylight. This Nokia’s very first device to be powered by the brand new Symbian^3 platform and be loaded with a 12 megapixel shooter. Complete with Carl Zeiss optics and Xenon flash the camera and OS are the handsets biggest assets for now. We already know from the preview that the N8 is going to record HD videos up to 720p and watching playback on the large 3.5-inch capacitive touchscreen, with multi-touch will also be a bonus. The HDMI out is now confirmed as well, but no word on if it’s standard as the guy who previewed the handset mentioned he had issues fitting in a standard HDMI cable. Nokia’s also taken on a Dolby Digital Plus surround sound engine to boost the handsets audio capabilities, sweet! It’ll also have a Web TV application for access to news and entertainment on the move.
The Nokia N8 also has 16GB of built-in storage and is expandable up to 48GB with a micro SD card. Keeping up with the Social Networking times of today the N8 also enters the fray with live Twitter and Facebook updates direct to your homescreen. Comment, read and send messages, update your status and share your location and photos with one touch. Of course the free global Ovi Maps walk and drive navigation with support in more than 70 countries worldwide is also on board. NOkai has also adopted the multiple homescreen system with a total of three customisable homescreens that can be loaded with applications and widgets and flicked through by a swish of the finger. There’s also improved 2D and 3D graphics for a faster and more responsive UI, greater memory management and a visual task manager. Aluminium is the latest trend in building material and the N8 is not being left behind. Carved from a single piece of anodised aluminium the N8 will be available in five colors It will cost €370 which works out to about $492 (before the usual local taxes and subsidies) when it starts shipping in the third quarter of 2010.
It’s fairly common to see clones of Apple’s products over in China, and we’ve caught sight of an iPad style before. Now it seems that another Chinese company has taken the time and effort to come up with the APad, another iPad clone. It’s priced at $210, which is less than half the price of the iPad, which could become a deal for those who are on a tight budget. Specifications of the APad include:
- Dual-core Rockchip processor
- 2GB-32GB flash memory
- 128MB of RAM
- Memory card slot for up to 16GB of storage space
- 7-inch 800 x 400 touchscreen display

Summer’s approaching for those of us living in the northern hemisphere, and it is a time where you will probably spend some time outdoors only to realize that the scourge of mosquitos has not been dealt with just yet. The Multi-Purpose Solar Charger Backpack might just be your cup of tea then – it comes with solar panels on the outside to juice up connected devices on the inside, while an integrated ultrasonic mosquito repellent helps ensure none of those blood sucking insects will come near you. Do you think this is effective as advertised, or is it just another scam?

Eken decided not to take the well trodden path of an iPad style by rolling out its latest Mobile Internet Device (MID) that has yet to be named, where it is powered by a VIA 8505 processor, featuring a 7″ touchscreen display at 800 x 480 resolution, 128MB RAM, 2GB of internal memory that can be augmented with a microSD memory card, and Wi-Fi connectivity. Sounds decent, save for the 128MB RAM which really is far from the minimum required these days. Hopefully the internal operating system is basic and yet decent enough to see action in the hands of consumers. No idea on pricing or availability as at press time.
The MiLi Power Skin case offers something different from your regular iPhone case – not only does it offer decent protection against bumps and knocks, it also juices up your device. Yup, this is made possible thanks to the integration of a 1,200-mAH lithium polymer battery that is located in its already super slim shell, while offering unhindered access to ports and jacks at the same time. Since the mini USB/USB plugs directly into the case when it is on your iPhone, you won’t need to remove it for syncing or charging purposes. Available in eight two-color combinations, the MiLi Power Skin will retail for $69.95.
