Nokia N800 : Nokia's Answer To iPhone


Nokia N800: $399

Apple iPhone: $499 or $599


The Nokia N800 has two memory slots that support a range of memory cards (SD, miniSD, microSD, MMC and RS-MMC). This allows you to keep one card in the device for a more permanent storage solution, and still have a slot available for cards from your camera or other device. With the falling price of memory cards, you could have several cards with music and videos tucked away in the carrying case that comes with the N800.


The N800 supports a wide range of audio and video formats. Supported audio formats are AAC, AMR, MP2, MP3, RA (Real Audio), WAV, WMA. You can play videos in the following formats: 3GP, AVI, H.263, MPEG-1, MPEG-4, RV (Real Video), and Flash Video


The N800 also has a built in webcam and supports video conferencing!The N800 can be used to for making VoIP calls via Gizmo and GoogleTalk. Skype support is coming in the second quarter of 2007.

Competition to iPhone


Touchscreen, WiFi, MicroSD Card slot for expandability and not bound to any carrier. Oh, and it runs Linux. The OpenMoko project is producing the first open-source hardware phone which will go on sale for $300 and $450 on July 9th. There will be two models, the Neo Base and the New Advanced. Both are mainly geared towards developers.


The consumer version will go on sale in October and will cost around $450. In contrast to the iPhone, though, this device will be wide open for developers. The interface isn’t quite on par with the iPhone, but looks better than most other phones and comes with a 2.8 inch screen (480×640) and a Global Locate AGPS chip. It will also have a USB port for expandability and development.

Mouse For The Filthy Rich


Pat Says, a computer mice manufacturer based in Switzerland, are selling a USB plug-n-play mouse that costs a whooping $25k because it's all made of white gold and diamonds.
Other than balance in your bank account, this world's most expensive computer mouse won't change your computing lifestyle.




And as far as ergonomics and comfort is concerned, the (relatively) dirt-cheap Logitech MX revolution maybe far better than this diamond-studded gold mouse.
PC World has an overview of more such absurdly expensive gadgets here including the million dollar laptop from Luvaglio that activates only when you insert the unique colored diamond.
