A Zune phone was rumored for a long time in the mobile world with Windows always having to deny such a device. But something strange happened. Steve Ballmer, whom you might know from his eggs ducking experiences and whose hobby is pretending to a qualified Microsoft CEO, is getting ready for a new fiscal year. And he wants it to be a more like Apple year.
Steve Ballmer says:
We’re changing the way we work with hardware vendors to ensure that we can provide complete experiences with absolutely no compromises. We’ll do the same with phones—providing choice as we work to create great end-to-end experiences.
Does that mean a ZunePhone is in the works? Would anyone buy it? Will it be an iPhone clone? In how much time will Microsoft sell 1 million ZunePhones?
The day we’ll be able to say that we’ve seen them all. Today isn’t that day at all. Toshiba has a new netbook in mind. The kind of netbook Eee was maybe afraid of. A 5.6 mini-laptop is what Toshiba has in mind. Isn’t that really to small. Are we going to transform it into a phone?What will this netbook from Toshiba offer? Here it is:
a 5.6″ touch screen display
the Microsoft Vista operating system
a 64GB SSD
a GPS chipset
an Intel Atom processor
Well let the prices roll, Toshiba! Let us see if you can make it in this business!
A GPS that does it all? Well the new Garmin Nuvi 500 is a decent candidate. No matter if you are traveling or just enjoying a relaxing walk in the park, the Nuvi 500 will deliver what’s expected of a GPS device. It has routing capabilities, improved mapping and water proof hardware to brag about.
Dan Bartel, Garmin’s vice president of worldwide sales says:
This multi-mode nüvi is the ultimate device for those seeking portable navigation in the car and in the great outdoors. This product allows us to combine features from several of our most popular automotive and outdoor navigators into one compact unit. From weekend trips to the lake, to a hike around the trail, nüvi 500 is ideal for people seeking automotive and recreational navigation in one dynamic device.
Whenever you exit your vehicle, change your mode to anything else. You will still be able to monitor accurate location details.
The Nuvi 500 will offer you a 3.5 inch water proof screen, a compass page, a track log and a removable, rechargeable battery for longer out doors activities. The “Where Am I?” feature will always show you the current location while the Garmin Connect Photos will let you choose between millions of geo located photos from Google’s Panoramio.
BlueChart® g2 Vision, and Inland Lake Vision will help you a lot if you are traveling by sea. You will get specific details about pot soundings, intertidal zones, wrecks, port plans, restricted areas and more.
For more driving fun, the historic Route 66 map guide will show you specific sites and memorable places to stop in. Preloaded with topographic maps of the 48 US states, Hawaii and Puerto Rico the 500 version is quite a catch. There’s also a 550 version which has enhanced street coverage in the USA or Canada. The European market will receive a scooter GPS for now which will be available as an extra accessory in other markets too.
We’ve heard about a colored 3G iPhone version back in April and May when everyone thought it would be cool to make us think they have inside info about the next iPhone. Most of those predictions turned out to be elaborate photoshoped pictures which never came through.A (PRODUCT) RED is supposedly going to be launched around the holiday period to support the victims of AIDS. A part of all (PRODUCT) RED 3G iPhones sold will be redirected towards victims in Africa.
This one is a rumor too, so we’ll treat it accordingly. Better wait until around Christmas to see what happens!
