Video: Beyond Touch with Pixel Sense from Microsoft Surface
Microsoft have worked with Samsung and have presented an update to their cool looking MS Surface with the addition of Pixel Sense. Whereas before the table required just cameras to see, it uses infra-red to pinpoint every item interacting with the display. Kinda Kinect-like. Not only does this include fingers, but also printed items. You’ll [...]
Video: MeeGo handset UX on Joggler (and 17" MeeGo touch Display)
This video is from a few months back but we’ve not posted it here yet. It shows MeeGo Handset UI on Joggler. Joggler’s O2′s little touch screen device meant to organize you and your families’ lives. Or something like that. It works quite well and I can see how MeeGo would be better placed in [...]

But this time, the star of the show is not erm (imdb check), Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, or Taylor Lautner. It’s the Nokia Nuron! (Not that any of them are actually [...]

The New Nokia C6 – the best keyboard from a Nokia touch/QWERTY hybrid?
On Friday, a touch-qwerty hybrid from Nokia’s Cseries surfaced. The Nokia C6. I wasn’t expecting anything like this from the core series. I thought they’d at least be non-touch like the recent C5. The C6 seems like a QWERTY/Touch hybrid for the masses. This is exactly the reason why Nokia’s range of smartphones might have [...]

Freeware: Candle on the Nokia N97 (and other S60 5th Edition)
Here’s “Candle” another one of those free apps where it’s just difficult to see any practical use for it. Maybe waving it at a gig? Impromptu candle for a romantic dinner? It’s a realistic candle that you can put out by swiping, and lighting up by double swiping. It works in portrait and landscape though [...]

Nokia N97 Sample Photos!
Now the N97 is by no way a Camera oriented device; not in today’s standards anyway (Grrr, Nokia!!) but 5MP Carl Zeiss isn’t too shabby at all. Below are some image samples said to have been taken by the N97. I say “said” as it looks astonishingly good compared to previous photo samples we’ve seen [...]

Free S60 5th Edition "Game": Dice throwing for the 5800
The author of this first application admits its not very useful, but as you can see from the video below, it demonstrates the sensitivity of the 5800′s accelerometer. It actually works OK too as a replacement for a dice, with motion sensor dependent rotation and fairly good animation for three hours of work. Download this [...]

HTC Touch Pro2 – What the N97 should have been?
With end of May/early June (release of N97) looming, I’m getting some doubts again about what I’m actually looking for in a new phone. Not really “the best out there” but “the best for me” (but as a phone geek it’s very much the same thing) The N97 claims to be a mobile computer: Relatively [...]
Sony Ericsson Idou: Coming Soon 2009?
Carphonewarehouse (CPW) has Sony Ericsson’s Idou on their coming soon page for 2009. Whatever the Idou (I do?
