Nokia X6 Touchscreen Music Mobile Arrives With Rhianna Concert

by Jay Garrett on November 9, 2009

Nokia X6It had been whispered that the Nokia X6 music phone would see the shelves this year but now it seems there’s a fairly fixed date.

Word comes from the official Nokia blog Nokia Conversations – apparently the touchscreen looker will be made available globally on 16 November.

This date has been planned to cunningly coincide with Rihanna-ah-ah-eh-eh’s live concert that happens to be streamed online at Nokia.com on that very date.

The X6 seems to be positioned as Nokia’s flagship music handheld and is Nokia’s fifth proper touch phone.

It packs 36GB of memory out the box (32GB internal, 4GB on a microSD card), runs on the S60 5th edition OS and, for me, is probably one of the nicest looking Noks for a long time.

Look at it. Go on! Those chiseled lines and that lovely chrome rim.

The new 3.2 inch capacitive screen, the first on a touchscreen phone from Nokia, seems better than previous resistive options from Nokia.

The camera is another from Carl Zeiss and is a 5MP sensor hooked-up with a dual LED flash – oddly it doesn’t have a protective cover so keep in a separate pocket to your change and keys.

So – preorder now from the likes of Play.com or hang-on til the 16th :)

Carl Zeiss Cinemizers Get iPhone Stamp

by Jay Garrett on March 26, 2009

carl_zeiss_cinemizer_plus_2Remember the Vuzix iWear?

Well these have got one over on them as they’ve been officially stamped with the ‘Works with iPhone’ tag!

I’m talking about the Carl Zeiss Cinemizer Plus range and as well as that iPhone stamp it also has gained the ‘Made for iPod‘ compliance so you can use these specs with any video-friendly iPod,

The Cinemizer Plus glasses play back your video’s through the headset, swapping that mini Apple screen for the illusion of a virtual 45-inch screen as viewed from around 6ft away.

So, sat on the bus or tube you can pretend that you’re back home in front of your widescreen.

Ignoring the git talking waaaaaaaaay too loud on their phone and the chav listening to bad R&B but insisting in sharing it with everyone.

Before you get all overprotective of your iPhone battery; worry ye not.

The Cinemizer Plus packs its own power supply which will happily give you four hours of viewing between charges.

Expect it on the shelves in May with a price of around £399.

I’m gonna be winding up this place by the end of the week (28th March 2009) and will only be posting here:

Make sure your bookmarks, RSS and eMail updates are now to the new place ;)

If you’re still happily leaving all your gadgety gear on stand-by and you’re comfortable with leaving your amp, power amp, Blu-ray player, etc on while you’re playing Left4Dead on your monster gaming rig perhaps some guilt-therapy is in order.
Dubbed the Wilting Flower, it’s a visual reminder of how much electricity you’re guzzling.
When you’re being thrifty [...]
