This is another one of those obscenely unaffordable renditions of a car related model of a cellphone. It is likely to make its first public show at CeBIT this year. It works on a brilliant 520 MHz Qualcomm CPU and comes with Windows Mobile 6 Pro operating system. It also comes with support for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. The addition of basic GPS navigation makes the phone stand in the league of some pretty big names. It is good to see a luxury phone that has more than a satisfactory spec page. It is said that the interface of this one comes with this one is similar to the HTC Touch or the iphone. [ Source ] (Read the full post about ‘Asus ZX1 Lamborghini Phone’…)

At this point in my life, I don’t know how I managed to live through all those years with my corded landline phone. I mean, sure, it’s still a great way to communicate when it comes to voice but at a time when almost everything is about to go completely wireless I don’t see where it’ll fit. I honestly think landlines would be best displayed in any museum of ancient history, but the XLink Bluetooth Gateway aims to prove otherwise. Using Bluetooth technology, it will link your mobile phone to your landline so that you can answer calls to either phone via any of the two. Meaning, if a call comes in on your cellphone, you can use the landline to answer it. (Read the full post about ‘XLink Cellular Gateway turns Bluetooth-enabled cellphones into landlines’…)

At last we have a phone that can make life easier for those who have visual limitations and also for those who cannot read. The concept is pretty simple.The phone takes photographs of documents and other readable material with a high definition camera and with a single button press, reads out the text in the captured document image. It uses the camera of the N82. This is a great move for the handicapped and unread people who are often exploited because of their limitations.

It seems with all the excitement surrounding the Eee PC 900, Asus had also introduced their desktop Eee PC, the EP20. We first heard rumors of this back in November, sadly it does not seem like it was worth the wait. So far just a few details that have emerged, what we can tell you is the EP20 will feature a 1.87 GHz Intel dual core processor and include a standard 2.5-inch hard drive as opposed to the SSD’s in the Eee PC notebook. No mention of the storage size for that hard drive or any RAM amount. Also, while their has not been any confirmation, it is expected to be running the same modified version of Linux as the Eee PC notebook lineup. The EP20 is expected to retail for 200€ (around $312 US). (Read the full post about ‘Asus EP20, the overlooked CeBIT desktop Eee announcement’…)

This past week, giant video game publisher Electronic Arts placed a hostile bid of $2 billion to take over fellow publisher Take-Two. Take-Two is the maker of the controversial but mega-selling franchise, Grand Theft Auto. So what does this mean if EA does in fact buy out T2? Well, it’s not as if there won’t be other video game makers, large and small, remaining. There are still literally dozens of them out there.

Every day, some kid wakes up and dreams of making their own video game, and some will. There will always be a niche for small game outfits, and large publishers like EA or T2 will gladly buy and/or publish those games to a national or international market.
