Nokia unveils 8800 Carbon Arte luxury phone




Nokia has just announced its latest luxurious handset, the 8800 Carbon Arte. Milking the 8800 product line for all that it can, Nokia has built this latest handset from high-end materials such as carbon fiber and titanium.
Despite its luxury casing, this cell phone supports only tri-band GSM (900/1800/1900MHz), with UMTS (2100MHz) support for European 3G networks. Bluetooth is on-board, as well, with A2DP support for stereo headsets. A whopping 4GB of internal storage provides plenty of music and photo storage capacity.
The Nokia 8800 Carbon Arte packs a punch with its 3.2 megapixel autofocus camera, while an on-board photo editing suite makes it simple to edit your pictures. Unique features include the ability to tap the area below the screen to reveal the display clock, and users can simple flip the phone face down to silence an incoming call.
The Nokia 8800 Carbon Arte is set to be available in Q3, priced at EUR1100 (US$1616) before taxes and subsidies.

Stella Artois PSP Rekindles Our Interest in Two Unlike Fads


The combination isn't exactly the most obvious, but hey, I'm a gamer, and hey, I like paying $5 a glass for a pretentious beer that tastes identical to Budweiser. The Stella Artois PSP was manufactured in a limited edition for the Fosters employees who'd be brewing the "import" in Australia for Australia—part of the official "please don't spit in our delicate European beer" bonus.

Nokia Rolls Out N85 and N79 Smartphones


Nokia has dropped a couple new N-Series phones into the UK chute today, and they are expected to follow stateside soon. The N85 slider (left) appears to be replacing the N81, and the N79 candybar does the same for the N78. Gaming and music seems to be the focus of the N85, which adds N-Gage support and ditches the built-in storage in favor of an 8GB micro SD card. An AMOLED screen reduces power consumption for up to 28 hours of music playback. The N79 bumps the N78's camera up to 5MP and adds an LED flash and swappable faceplates. All feature Wi-Fi, GPS and 3G across the board, but the rumored US 3G support we're still waiting to hear for sure on. [Pocket Lint via Electronistaviagizmodo]

Canon 50D Leaked Image


DSLR fans will rejoice knowing that the impending Canon 50D will come with an EF-S 18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 IS kit lens option.

Mirror’s Edge Introduces Never Before Experienced Games


Mirror’s Edge is an upcoming first person action-adventure video game being developed by EA Digital Illusions CE (DICE) for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and Windows-based PCs. Mirror’s Edge introduces players to Faith, a “runner” in a world where communication channels are highly monitored and the movement of human traffic is closely watched. When Faith’s sister gets framed for a murder she did not commit, Faith finds herself on the edge of the city, on the wrong side of the law. The cool thing about the game is that the developer introduces an entirely new concept of physicality that defies intuition, almost matrix like. In the game you get to see “true” first person view on hand to hand combat. You also get to perform string of movement combos, like running and jumping through obstacles and buildings in a sequence. Expect never-before-seen sense of movement and perspective, you will be drawn into Faith’s world. To be released in November 2008. [IGN]

The Controversial Mad World On Wii


Mad World is a bloody, futuristic action game that involves alot of bare knuckle punching and kicking plus grabbing everything from chainsaw to pipe to hack and slash your way. The graphics will look somewhat like Frank Miller’s Sin City the movie. From a third-person perspective, the player controls Jack, a hulking brute with a chainsaw on his arm, as he competes in a violent TV show. Using the Nunchuk to move Jack, by gesturing the Wii Remote, players perform brutal melee attacks on enemies. Also Jack can use objects around the environment, such as impaling an enemy’s head with a caution sign in an ironic way. The game is not without controversy due to its violent content. However, in my point of view, nothing instigates curiosity more than controversy. [Wiki]
