The new jetpack prototype from the annual air show in Oshkosh
Just three days ago was one of the greatest days for modern flying enthusiasts. Those of them and many others who were lucky to be on the Tuesday 29th at the annual air show in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, could see the first public demonstration of the latest jetpack. Glenn Martin is the inventor from New Zealand who made his child dreams about flying come true. Now, when the flying gadget is considered safe, it is going to be prepared to be put up for sale. Most probably that it will happen next year when every person interested will be able get a personal jetpack.

Nokia N95 vs Samsung i8510 - which one is better?
Design and controls
Both phones look very similar, both are made in form-factor of sliders. However, while N95 can slide in two positions, revealing multimedia buttons or number keys, i8510 is limited to usual one way of sliding. It is hard to tell, whether this is an advantage of N95, but it definitely is an original way to control your music or other media functions on the phone. Aside from two soft keys and dial / reject buttons under them, there are two unlabeled areas that look like buttons. Even considering them as unknown buttons, N95 has two times more buttons on its front, 8 buttons opposed to 4 in Nokia i8510. Both phones have 5-directional navigational button.

Samsung F210 Review
The F210 is a great phone concept. It's a phone/music player/camera in a tiny lightweight package. Weighting just 72g, it's fantastically light and it's so compact you risk losing it in your handbag! The secret to its tiny size is the swivel design. As you can see from the photo, when closed the F210 resembles an iPod Nano, with an LCD screen and metal jog dial showing. With the jog dial and side volume controls you can access the music functions even with the phone closed. When you want to make a call, you flick the phone and it spins open to reveal a full keypad. We're delighted to see that the keypad has a regular 3-column layout, unlike the F210's predecessor, the X830, which had a 2-column layout and was harder to use. It's narrower than typical phones, but the keys are a good size and pose no problems. Overall it's a really nice phone to use. The user interface changes depending on whether the phone is open or closed to display phone menus or music menus. The styling is gorgeous with the metallic edging and jog dial, and the use of specially-designed stunning screen graphics. If you want to, you can hang the phone around your neck, with the "lanyard", a kind of one-piece necklace that also holds your earphones.
The F210 is a great music player. It can handle all popular music formats including full Digital Rights Management. The Music Library makes it easy to manage your music and create playlists on the go. You can use the built-in equaliser to adjust sound quality. Audio playback through the loudspeaker can sound a bit tinny, but plug in headphones or use a set of wireless Bluetooth headphones, and you can listen to high quality music. The phone comes equipped with 1 Gbyte of flash memory, which is enough to store around 250 songs. In addition this can be expanded to a total of 3 Gbytes by adding a microSD memory card (up to 2 Gbytes). This would be enough for around 750 songs, making the F210 into a replacement for an iPod Nano.
As well as the music player, the F210 also has a built-in FM radio. This is equipped with RDS (Radio Data System), which displays the station ID, radio show name, song title, artist and more. Samsung have introduced a cool feature into the F210: use the built-in sound recorder to record a few seconds of any song that you're listening to, and the system will identify the artist and song for you. This is very similar to Sony Ericsson's TrackID™, used on its Walkman phones.

RIM BlackBerry Pearl 8120
Then BlackBerry maker Research In Motion decided it could do more. It started adding features to devices and making them prettier too, in a bid to appeal to out-and-out consumers and those business people who like a bit of style. So, this year we've seen the arrival of the QWERTY-keyboarded Curve and, just before the that, the candybar style BlackBerry Pearl.
There still are the larger format devices, and most recently of all I reviewed the 8820, which I've been using thanks to RIM ever since penning the review back in August. But with the Pearl 8120 I think I am going to switch allegiance. The original Pearl didn't quite do it for me. I hated SureType (which I'll get to properly in a couple of paragraphs), and the features on the device just weren't good enough to keep me happy.
But RIM has taken on board a lot of the criticisms I and others made of the original Pearl, and of BlackBerry handhelds in general, and the Pearl 8120, while not perfect, is an improvement I think many people could live with.
Also, regardless of the feature improvements, this new Pearl is a cute looking device. The colour scheme is dark blue and chrome with the latter used for the left, right and upper edges and various highlights, while the front and back fascias are predominantly blue. It is comfortable to hold, being a slimline candybar handset. The actual dimensions are 107mm tall, 50mm wide, 14mm thick and just 91g. Its metal-like finish means it feels lovely in the hand.
The small miniature trackball that sits under the screen and is used for navigation within and between applications remains as delightful as ever. It rolls comfortably under either left or right thumb. I'd like to see an auto-scroll mode implemented so that longer emails can be run through without to much ‘thumb action', though.
To the left and right of the trackball are the BlackBerry menu and back keys, and to their left and right the Call and End keys. The arrangement is unchanged from the original Pearl, and it works fine. There are also two ‘convenience keys', one on the left and one on the right edge. You can configure these to launch whichever application or device feature you want.

Apple MacBook Pro
At 6.6 pounds and just 1 inch thick, the MacBook Pro is the lightest 17-inch notebook available. But it has no memory card slots and only three USB ports, and it comes configured with an ExpressCard/34 slot instead of the more versatile ExpressCard/54 slot. Though it has Bluetooth and 802.11n Wi-Fi, built-in cellular broadband is not an option. On the other hand, video editors will be happy to have not one but two FireWire ports. Battery life was disappointing: Apple pegs it at 5.7 hours on one charge, but in our tests we got less than 2 hours, 45 minutes. Read More...

Sony Ericssin Xperia X1
It's here, the XPERIA X1 QWERTY from Sony Ericsson. Yes, full QWERTY to make the most of that Windows Mobile 6 operating system. SE's new XPERIA brand will focus on multimedia and mobile web communication. The X1 then, brings a 3-inch wide VGA (800 x 480) touchscreen display, 3.2 megapixel camera (with photo light), A2DP Bluetooth, aGPS, WiFi, and microSD -- just 400MB on board. On the phone side you've got quad-band GSM/EDGE, and 900/1700/1900/2100MHz UMTS/HSDPA/HSUPA (or 850/1700/1900/2100MHz in what must be a US-bound model). Navigation is accomplished via touch, arc-sliding QWERTY, 4-way key and optical joystick. Now just replace that Internet Explorer Mobile browser with Opera Mobile 9.5 or Skyfire and the 110 x 53 x 16.7-mm X1 is ready to live up to its potential. You know, when it ships in "select markets" in the second half of 2008.
Besides what we knew before, we can now tell the Xperia X1 will have a Qualcomm 7200A CPU running at 528 MHz, 128MB RAM and a nice 'n' juicy, 1500 mAh battery. Sure, we were not overwhelmed with our first gimped hands-on, but on paper it looks like this sure is one beast. The 528 MHz processor has us excited, but with it being Windows Mobile, we'll be surprised if the onboard RAM doesn't prove itself to be insufficient for heavy multitasking.

Samsung SGH-G800
Built around an optical senor rated at a credible five megapixels, the Samsung SGH-G800 3G slider cell phone comes complete with auto focus, a Xenon flash, digital image stabilisation, red eye reduction and even face recognition technology but what really sets this camera phone apart is the inclusion of x3 optical zoom (a standard zoom rate for most dedicated digital cameras of equivalent size and specification).
The resulting package being a truly capable digital camera housed within a cell phone which comes with a 2.4 inch QVGA 320 x 240 resolution 262K colour display, USB and Bluetooth connectivity and a MicroSD card slot offering storage expandability.
More than just a phone with image capture capabilities, the Samsung SGH-G800 3G slider cell phone is more like a digital camera with built in cell phone capabilities and is due for release in Europe in November for a price yet to be disclosed.
Unfortunately, if you live outside Europe we should advise that, at the time of writing, there are no details concerning a wider release.

Sony Ericsson F305 Gaming Phone
The first device from the Fun series could be Sony Ericsson F305, since details about it leaked recently on the Web. Its full list of features is not known yet, but apparently the handset will be some sort of a mini-console for playing games while on the go, hence it will come with dedicated gaming buttons. Also, were we to believe a Photoshop-made image that is said to represents the F305, the phone has a slider form factor. Furthermore, rumors say the F305 won't be a high-end device, but only a mid-to-low one, with features that include, besides gaming capabilities, FM radio, stereo speakers and other things meant to bring "fun" to its users. Well, if the F305 does indeed look like in the Photoshop image, I assume it will have lots of fans among young users. After all, they're the ones who have the most "mobile fun". While still far from the rumored PSP phone that Sony Ericsson is working (or should be working) on, the F305 seems, for the moment, a pretty nice handset. We're now waiting for June 17, when Sony Ericsson will present some of its new phones and, maybe, the F305 among them.

Apple sells 1 million iPhones
Apple said it is indeed on a roll with its iPhone. The company announced today it has sold 1 million of the new phones 74 days after its launch.
Steve Jobs had said earlier that Apple forecast 1 million units by the end of the month. But they met the mark with a few weeks to spare. This comes less than a week after Apple dropped the price of its 8GB iPhone by $200 to $399, a move that angered some existing iPhone users but also raised speculation that Apple was falling behind on its sales targets.
It's hard to know right now how much the price cut contributed to Apple hitting its 1 million milestone early but you gotta think it helped. Still in less than a week's time of selling with the new price cut, Apple looked to be on its way anyway toward its goal.
"One million iPhones in 74 days - it took almost two years to achieve this milestone with iPod," said Jobs. "We can't wait to get this revolutionary product into the hands of even more customers this holiday season."
Jobs said in an open letter to iPhone owners last week that Apple really wanted to "go for it" for the holidays with the price drop. Things look to be getting off to a good start. The next goal for Apple is 10 million iPhone units by the end of 2008.
