Nexus Two on its Way – Hello Moto!

by Jay Garrett on January 30, 2010

There’s been rumours of a Nexus Two almost as soon as the Nexus One hit the blogosphere and it seems that Moto may be its maker.

The next Nexus could be a business model Google phone and Motorola’s CEO has confirmed that they would be delivering a phone to sell through the new Google Store.

Sanjay Jha reiterated Motorola’s ambition to launch 20 smartphones in 2010, of which one will be “one direct to consumer device with Google.”

All that when pieced with Motorola’s ’secret project’, the covert operationally named ‘Shadow’, could end up being the Nexus Two.

Getting Motorola to build the next Google Store offering makes sense now as the mobile cobbler has since proved itself worthy with its latest Android blowers – especially with the Milestone (Droid).

Word on the interweblogosphere reckons that a Motorola built Googlephone should appear in the first half of 2010.

Will it take the shine off iPhone 4G?

kohjinsha_notebookClap your eyes on those beauties!

This dual-screened notebook that Kohjinsha has started selling in Japan today has just entered my wish-list.

I don’t neeeeed it, but how cool does it look?

Check out those twins of pleasure – two 10.1 inch 1,024×600 res LED backlit LCD screens that are squeezed in a compact body (size: 280×210×19〜42mm, weight: 1.84kg).

Under the hood is an Athlon Neo MV-40 (1.6GHz) with a RS780MN chipset and an ATI Radeon HD 3200 graphics card, 1GB of RAM (upgradeable to 4GB), a 160GB HDD.

You also get WiFi, three USB ports, a 1.3MP web camera, Bluetooth 2.1+EDR, slots for SD/microSD/MMC/memory sticks and a digital TV tuner (which will work only in Japan and parts of South America) on board.

Kohjinsha says buyers can expect 4.5 hours of battery life max.

We outsiders can get our mits on one via Geek Stuff 4 U for $1,111.28 – oh, you’ll also have to be familiar with a Japanese layout keyboard ;)

I loved the Panasonic G1 and it proved itself to be idiot proof as I almost won a competition with it when I had one to review.
Now it seems that Panasonic has checked out the Olympus E-P1 and thought retro is where it’s at.
Say hello to the Panasonic GF1.
So, what’s the difference ‘tween the G1 [...]

Asus have unleashed the Lamborghini VX5 laptop at CeBit.

What has actually stopped me in my tracks isn’t the Core 2 Quad CPU, 4GB of RAM or the 16-inch “Full HD” display.
It’s the fact that it houses a 1TB SSD!  Yup, a one terrabyte solid [...]

This one, however, I feel needs a mention.
