Finally we get the Xbox 360 Elite

Posted by SaeedM on 11 July, 2007

Engadget is reporting that Microsoft has finally announced the Xbox 360 Elite for our (European) shores. The mega console with HDMI and 120GB HDD is set to hit Europe on 24th August.

Time to convince the OH that our PS2 has served us well and should be retired, methinks.

An Aluminium Phone from Porsche Design

Posted by SaeedM on 9 June, 2007

Like Prada and other designers, Porsche is also stepping into the mobile phone market. Unlike some, this isn’t just any old phone with a Porsche badge on it. This super-cool phone has a case milled from a single block of aluminium and includes fingerprint security.

Apparently it’s the result of collaboration between Porsche Design and Sagem Communication and may be called the Porsche – Sagem P9521.

It’s due to be released in September. I wonder if Vodafone will offer it as an upgrade?

M500 Mobile Phone / Watch

Posted by SaeedM on 29 May, 2007

The world’s smallest mobile phone. That’s the claim made by SMS, the makers of the M500 watch/mobile phone.

This looks like one seriously cool gadget. The 500 jammie buggers who’ve ordered this before 1st April ‘07 will be getting their watch shipped on or around the 30th of May. The rest of us can order and drool until we get our own.

All your dreams of looking like Michael Knight or Dick Tracey (if you happen to dream that way!) can come true.

My only concerns would be battery life, which is claimed to be 80 hours standby and 200 minutes talk-time, and the teeny size of the touch screen.

Other than than, in terms of sheer geeky coolness, this one is way up on the scales.
