“As we thought the Samsung SGH-P520 will be the next Prada phone, apparently the P520 touch screen phone will be made for Armani. Built with an extremely slim size, this calculator size phone is only 8.9mm thickness. But this does not limit the camera module, a 3 megapixel camera module is used on the phone. 50MB internal memory will be sufficient for normal used.

“A community developer has ported Linux’s KDE desktop environment to Nokia’s Internet tablets. The port appears to run on both the N800 and — with the addition of an RS-MMC card upgrade — the older 770 tablet. The port actually was released back in March for the N800. However, it got a new round of attention this week, when a blogger posted instructions on installing it on the older 770. “It purrs like a kitten, believe it or not,” the post enthused.The 770, which shipped in January of 2006, was the first of Nokia’s Linux-based web tablets. It was replaced in less than a year by the N800, leaving some early adopters feeling a bit abandoned, despite Hacker Edition ports — upgrades that include all but the licensed, third-party components of Nokia’s Tablet OS. Nokia’s Tablet OS broke with a long tradition in PDAs and other mobile devices, by eschewing “embedded” software development frameworks such as Qt, MicroWindows, and MiniGUI. Instead, it uses Gnome, a desktop environment and application development framework. KDE is the main competitor to Gnome in the desktop Linux world. Since Nokia’s adoption of Gnome, lots of work has been done on the environment to optimize it for small footprint devices. For example, this past April, the Gnome Foundation sprouted a Mobile and Embedded Initiative.When he released his original port of KDE 3.5.6 for Nokia’s Tablet OS back in March, “PenguinBait” wrote, “I have not even used KDE since like when 2.0 was new, but I always liked it over gnome, personally.” The community developer also encouraged participation in building a complete and stable KDE-based environment for the device. About 300 pages at InternetTabletTalk now mention KDE. However, a recent poll there found that more than two-thirds of those surveyed plan to wait until the port is more mature before trying it out.” via linuxdevices.com

” Sony has been pretty good about tackling every segment of the cell phone market. They have the Walkman line to satiate our need for mobile music, the Bravia line (in Asia) for mobile TV, and a whole whack of business handhelds for guys in suits. But what about mobile gaming?We’ve been hearing about a PlayStation Phone for a long time and now a new set of rumors has risen to the surface. For starters, the supposed launch date will be in February of next year. Next, they say that the PSPhone will not have any PlayStation or PSP branding on it, possibly opening up to a new sub-brand for their cell phone games.According to Mobile Entertainment, the Sony gaming phone will be “100% gaming focused”, complete with motion-sensing capabilities. You should probably think about that in terms of SIXAXIS, rather than Wii. Network gaming is also a possibility.” via mobilemag.com
