Sony Alicia Clamshell Walkman Rumor

The C905 Shiho from Sony Ericsson is an extremely useful 8.2 megapixels camera, which, if treated nicely with a decent voice plan will also work as a phone. I guess the phone thing is optional. What we see in these leaked pictures (see below also) might be the next Walkman from Sony, the Alicia, which will also might work as a clamshell phone when you aren’t listening music to it.

I like the exterior and I imagine that circle will offer some walkman controls. As for other specs we’ll just have to wait one more week or two when the Alicia, and possibly the Shiho will be announced.

Which one do you prefer? I would choose the camera power of the Shiho over the musical abilities of the Alicia.

Play Multiplayer Pong with your iPhones

Who said that the iPhone or iPod Touch can’t be great games consoles? As you can see from the picture above, you can play Pong with your friends from your iPhones. Just install the software and go head to head. It’s like playing Air Hockey only cooler as Apple is involved.

I always like to see what people can come up with. Especially when they go and use their smartphones for anything different than what it can already do. Remember the iPhone watering plant device? What about the surveillance iPhone system? Congrats to all those people inventing these “gadgets”.

As for the Pong software we still don’t know when and where it will be available and for what price. But I’d sure like go 2 out of 3 with some of my friends.

Official Press Photos of Nokia E66 and E71

For those of you waiting for the announced Nokia E66 and E71, the wait is almost over. A website recently got their hands official press images of what is supposed to be the Nokia E66 and Nokia E71. The E71 phone will the successor to the successful and popular E61 and E61i while the E66 follows the E65.

These devices is said to include Wifi, HSDPA, GPS and a 3.2 megapixel camera. They are not the prettiest smartphones in the market if you base your judgement on the pictures, but we’ll all just have to wait and see.

3G iPhone ‘Real’ Photos

We have showed you so far a bunch of so called 3G iPhone designs. They were black, they were white, they were slim and curvy. We even had some of AT&T choice menu for the new iPhone 2. All these proved to be misleading rumors or human errors.

That’s why I though I’d show you some more ingenious edited photos. This isn’t the 3G version although that’s what they pretend it its. They say the new iPhone will be available in red, white and black and they try to hint some changes like the camera placement or design. For starters they were showed on a greek iPhone site, which is hardly the place they will be released first.

Moving on then. We have almost two weeks for others to deliver more iPhone 3G designs.

Will Apple Go for Solar Batteries?

Apple filed a patent application on April 24th 2008 with the title “Sollar cells on portable devices”. Is that thinking out of the box or what? Imagine having your iPod, MacBook or your brand new iPhone equipped with such an alternative power means? They would charge as you go giving you extra hours or wireless fun and work.

The application says

Solar cells are typically stacked with other layers made of transparent or semi-transparent materials… Some of these layers may be used for display or input purposes, and some layers may be coated with various materials or they may be etched with product logos or other patterns.

That means that no matter how you hold your Apple device or no matter what weather we have, you would get some energy from the sun. I can’t wait to let you know these batteries are actually used in a device.
