Nokia revealed the Nokia 5700 XpressMusic, an accessible 3G smartphone augmented by a dedicated audio chip for enhanced music performance. The Nokia 5700 XpressMusic features an iconic twist design that easily switches between four modes at the flick of the wrist - music player, 2 Megapixel camera, video call and smartphone. Combining the benefits of a music-oriented, multipurpose device featuring 3G dataspeeds, the Nokia 5700 XpressMusic is expected to retail for an estimated EUR 350 before taxes and subsidies during the second quarter of 2007.
Using an optional 2GB MicroSD card, the Nokia 5700 XpressMusic supports up to 1500 tracks that can be enjoyed using Bluetooth stereo headphones, with their own favorite 3.5mm plug-equipped headphones and the included headset adaptor or through built-in stereo loudspeakers. Loading songs onto the Nokia 5700 XpressMusic is fast and easy as consumers can choose from a broad range of supported digital formats, including WMA, MP3, AAC, as well as eAAC+ and MP4. When purchasing music online, shoppers again have the luxury of choice as they can select from a range of Internet music stores, also those utilizing Windows Media Player Digital Rights management (WMDRM). The optimized music player in the Nokia 5700 XpressMusic supports album art, playlists, plus a 5-band equalizer and audio visualizations.

Sharp offers 5 new video player/recorders on hard disk and DVD, including the DV-AC60 with 1TB of disk space (127 hours of recording time in HD), 2 digital TV tuners and 1 analogical TV tuner, at about €1,270. Also with 3 TV tuners, there’s the DV-ACW55 with 500GB of disk space, and the DV-ACW52 with 250GB. If you don’t need 2 digital TV tuners but only 1, there’s the DV-AC55 (500GB) and the DV-AC52 (250GB).
Sharp equipped all 5 models with an IrSS allowing you to send photos (taken with a phone, for example) directly to the media recorder and save them on the hard disk or a DVD. Honestly, the demonstrations were convincing and the results and a 40” screen in HD were excellent. Well done Sharp!

I prefer having a 11.4mm thick phone than a 114mm thick one. Anyway, here’s the N703i ยต, the latest NEC phone available at DoCoMo. This is a 3G phone with a 1.3Mpix camera (not the third world, but not Japan either), 630mn of battery life in standby, Privacy Angle (so that other people don't see you're surfing porn sites while commuting in the metro), and also, as a delicacy just like Wasabi on a sushi, 49 LEDs on the cover, that display a different icon for incoming calls, emails…

Getting into your home using the RFID Digital Door Lock is a breeze. Just tap your RFID card or keyfob to the reader button to activate, authenticate and unlock your door.
With the PIN pad, you'll never lock yourself out ever again. Calling a locksmith to unlock your door or to change your lockset because you misplaced a key will be a thing of the past. Change your PIN and reprogram your RFID cards should you ever lose your keys or have them stolen. No need to change locks.
This lock is pickproof as it has no keyholes and comes standard with a night deadbolt function which disables all external functions, allowing you to sleep safe and sound. The built-in alarm will deter thieves at the door itself, if the door is forcefully entered.
