Nokia 1200 and Nokia 1208n

PRYLINFO

Two new phones offer call-time tracking, multi-phonebooks and more
Espoo, Finland - In emerging markets around the world, mobile phones are often shared among families and even entire villages. To meet the needs of these customers, many of whom are first-time buyers, Nokia today introduced two new mobile phones designed to meet the unique needs of a shared mobile device, the Nokia 1200 and Nokia 1208 phones. Both of these phones introduce the industry's first call-time tracking application and multi-phonebooks to make phone sharing simpler and more efficient.
In order to help manage airtime costs, the call-time tracking feature allows consumers and village phone entrepreneurs to pre-set a time or cost limit on individual calls, automatically ending the call after the limit has been reached.
The easy-to-use multi-phonebook lets customers set up personal phonebooks unique to that user and save specific contacts to that user's phonebook. The Nokia 1200 and Nokia 1208 each come with 5 available phonebooks, so it is possible for an entire family to share a phone, and for each of the family members to manage their own phonebook.
"The sharing of a mobile phone allows many consumers in entry markets to experience the benefits of mobility firsthand - an experience that might otherwise not be possible," says Soren Petersen, Senior Vice President, Mobile Phones, Nokia. "With the industry-first features found in the Nokia 1200 and 1208, Nokia continues to address the needs and aspirations of people in emerging markets by making its mobile phones accessible to more consumers and enabling positive community development."
The Nokia 1200 and Nokia 1208 also come equipped with additional features tailored to entry markets such as one-touch flashlights, localized languages, a teaching mode that allows non-experienced users to quickly learn how to master the phone, while a seamless keypad also protects the phone from dust, another reality of rural mobile phone use. The Nokia 1200 phone is offered with a monochrome screen, while the Nokia 1208 features a colour VGA screen.
The Nokia 1200 will be available in the second quarter of 2007 with an estimated retail price of 35 EUR before subsidies or taxes. The Nokia 1208 will be available in the third quarter of 2007 with estimated retail price of 40 EUR before subsidies or taxes.

RIM Introduces the BlackBerry Curve Smartphone

Here is a full press-release:
Waterloo, ON - Research In Motion (RIM) (Nasdaq: RIMM; TSX: RIM) today introduced the BlackBerry® Curve™ smartphone - the smallest and lightest full QWERTY* BlackBerry smartphone. With its smooth and friendly design encompassing a large display, easy-to-use keyboard and intuitive trackball navigation system, this powerful new smartphone makes it easy to stay connected to the people and information that matter most.

It is a full-featured smartphone with a full QWERTY keyboard and large display and yet it boasts an impressively small and lightweight design at 4.2'' x 2.4'' x 0.6'' and approximately 3.9 oz. The ultra-bright 320x240 display brings images and video to life and includes RIM's light sensing technology that automatically adjusts backlighting levels for indoor, outdoor and dark environments.

The audio system is crisp and clear, playing music and videos through the handset's integrated speaker or through the 3.5 mm stereo jack. The Bluetooth stereo audio profile (A2DP/AVRCP) is supported, and dedicated volume controls are conveniently located on the side of the handset.

A powerful new desktop media manager is also included with the BlackBerry Curve.

The media manager also includes Roxio Photosuite® 9 LE, a comprehensive tool that makes it easy to edit pictures and create photo albums. With PhotoSuite, pictures can be cropped, rotated and straightened, and flaws can be fixed by removing redeye or changing the brightness, contrast and saturation levels. Pictures can even be enhanced with color filters and special effects.

The media player on the BlackBerry Curve has been refined, allowing users to search for music by simply typing the title, genre, artist or album name. Videos can also be played in full screen mode.

MORE STORAGE FOR YOUR TUNES, FLICKS AND PICS
For added storage of music, videos and pictures, the BlackBerry Curve comes with a microSD expansion slot. It supports up to 2GB cards that are available today and will automatically support 4GB cards that are expected to become available later this year.

Users can bookmark their favorite sites and set up RSS feeds to stay connected to the timely news and information that matters most during their day. The highly responsive browser, large and vivid screen and super-easy trackball navigation provides an exceptional mobile experience.

The BlackBerry Curve offers many convenient phone features including Speaker Independent Voice Recognition (SIVR) for Voice Activated Dialing (VAD), Bluetooth® 2.0 support for hands-free use with headsets, car kits and Bluetooth peripherals, quad-band operation for global roaming**, dedicated 'send', 'end', and 'mute' keys, smart dialing, speed dialing, conference calling, call forwarding, noise cancellation technology to offset background noise, a low-distortion speakerphone for hands-free conversations and support for polyphonic, mp3 and MIDI ring tones.

INDUSTRY LEADING EMAIL & MESSAGING
The BlackBerry Curve delivers all the renowned BlackBerry email and messaging capabilities and even features a new integrated spell checker with a user-customizable dictionary to help maintain spelling accuracy on the go. The BlackBerry Curve is supported on BlackBerry® Internet Service, giving users access to up to 10 work or personal email accounts (including most popular ISP email accounts), as well as BlackBerry® Enterprise Server, enabling advanced security and IT administration within IBM® Lotus® Domino®, Microsoft® Exchange and Novell® GroupWise® environments.

HP tx1000 Tablet Notebook
HP Pavilion tx1000 specs are pretty solid - 2 GB of RAM, AMD Turion 64X2 Dual core processor and an NVIDIA graphics card. Though it ships with Home Vista Premium, the machine is powerful enough to run the Ultimate edition of Vista without problems.
The unit weighs around 4 pounds with the standard battery that lasted around 2 hours in tablet or slate mode. It ships with an additional battery that is supposed to last double that time.

    Lexar Introduces Windows Vista Compatibility For All JumpDrive Products In Europe

    Full Press-release:
    LONDON, England, March 27, 2007 - Lexar Media, Inc., a world leader in advanced digital media technologies, today announced that its entire 2007 European line of JumpDrive® USB flash drives provides full compatibility with Microsoft® Windows Vista™, enabling customers to take advantage of features such as BitLocker™ Drive Encryption and Windows PE 2.0 for Vista. In addition, the company's speed-rated JumpDrive Lightning is enhanced for Windows ReadyBoost™, which can improve overall system performance by using portable flash memory devices as additional system memory.

    Farshid Tabrizi, General Manager, USB Products at Lexar, noted, "Customers of Lexar high-performance JumpDrive products can now fully leverage the capabilities of Windows Vista, especially Windows ReadyBoost. And all users of JumpDrive products will see immediate benefits with full Vista compatibility."

    JumpDrive Lightning: Speed and Durability

    "The new 4GB JumpDrive Lightning is capable of a 30MB/s sustained read speed and a 21MB/s sustained write speed making it ideal for the caching demands of Windows ReadyBoost," continued Tabrizi. "Not only is JumpDrive Lightning among the fastest flash drives available but it uses a superior grade of flash that is designed to last 10x longer than many other drives on the market today. Leveraging this unique performance capability in conjunction with Windows Vista will enable Lexar to provide an enhanced user experience to its customers."

    PowerToGo™: A Major Breakthrough in Mobile Computing

    Pre-loaded with the PowerToGo software platform, the latest version of JumpDrive Lightning represents a major breakthrough in mobile computing. Lexar's acclaimed PowerToGo software enables users to "carry" components of their familiar PC environment by installing and running many standard Windows applications directly from the drive. Existing JumpDrive Lightning customers can download the full version of PowerToGo software at no additional cost, and users of other JumpDrive products can download a 60-day trial version.

    Secure II Software: Advanced Security for Data Protection

    In addition to the PowerToGo software platform, JumpDrive Lightning also comes pre-loaded with security software featuring advanced 256-bit AES encryption. This enables users to safeguard sensitive data on the drive with simple drag-and-drop file encryption, and gives users the ability to create password-protected areas and thoroughly "shred" files for secure deletion.
