Kim Kardashian

Alexandru Sichim — Tue, 08 Jul 2008 08:56:59 +0000

Surfing the internet, I found a beautiful girl named Kim Kardashian. She looks gorgeous I have to say, but what about her? So, I’ve googled her name and I found some facts like: she appears in a reality show called Keeping Up with the Kardashians, she has Armenian, German, and Irish descents and she is the main character in a … tape. This is not so exciting when you know that she is a good friend with Paris Hilton. “Hey girl, do you “release” the … tape today or you let me first?”
Kiddin’!
I saw many comments about her on different sites, blogs and forums. You can call her whatever you want (mother or a puppy, easy woman or what ever) but you have to accept that she is beautiful. And she has a very very nice buttom. Just check out the video.

You can find Kim Kardashian on her MySpace profile and her official website.

Nokia 3110 Evolve is thinking about the Environment

Alexandru Sichim — Tue, 04 Dec 2007 10:24:10 +0000

Everybody speaks about the evolution of technology these days. It is incredible how many features you can find on a phone. You can have a photo camera, radio, mp3 player, OS, GPS, flashlight, touchscreen, millions of pixels and so on.

But Nokia comes with a great idea, from my point of view. They are thinking about the Environment first and then about the features available on the phone. And they have chosen Nokia 3110 product for this project. It is called Nokia 3110 Evolve. They are thinking about reducing the energy consumption and using recyclable materials. Nokia says that they are using almost 60% recycled content for this phone and the 3110 Evolve comes with a super-smart charger that consumes 94% less energy that the Energy Star requirements. Also, Nokia had another idea regarding using less energy. They put alerts on their phones asking the users to unplug the chargers when are not in use.

Nokia 3110 Evolve specifications are just normal specifications for S40:

Tri-band GSM 900/1800/1900 connectivity, GPRS/EGPRS
1.3 mpx camera with 8x digital zoom
128×160, 262K color display
FM stereo radio
MP3 Player
MicroSD memory card slot
USB, Bluetooth stereo and EDR
Up to 16 days stand-by and 3.5 hrs talk time
Dimensions: 108.5×45.715/6 mm
Weight: 87 g

Nokia’s idea is not the revolution of Recycling, but it is a start.

Lenovo i909 – gaming phone

Alexandru Sichim — Fri, 16 Nov 2007 15:23:04 +0000

How many times have you thought about all the hours lost playing NES (Nintendo Entertainment System) games? Well, you don’t have to be nostalgic about that period of time. Lenovo i909 is the perfect gadget for bringing back those times.

At first sight, Lenovo i909 is an absolutely normal phone. It has 2.4″ 262.000 color QVGA TFT display, 2 megapixel camera, microSD memory card slot, mp3 and video player, 111.4 × 50.2 × 15.5 mm dimensions and 112.8 gr weight. So, nothing out of common.
Then, what is the new feature that comes with Lenovo i909? Well, it has an emulator software that is able to emulate old NES games. Also, you can attach an excellent D-PAD controller with a very old style shape that makes playing very easy.

The bad news is that this gaming phone will be available just in China.

iPhone headphones

Alexandru Nistor — Thu, 01 Nov 2007 17:49:14 +0000

MadCatz has announced set of IPhone compatible AirDrives headphones. MadCatz is a worldwide leader in manufacturing, distributing and marketing innovative controllers and other peripherals for the console and PC games but they can’t let the IPhone pass by so they are going to launch soon the “interactive headphone” models for IPhone . You can choose either the standard $100 models, or the slight premium at $120 when they’re released early next year.

MdaCatz’s phones have earned the “interactive headphones” trademark InAir technology because wearers still hear what’s going on around them.
