Ma Bell’s new femtocell promises – just like the Sprint AIRAVE and Verizon Network Extender – to set up your own mini access point at your home or office, in this case capable of carrying both voice calls, messages and data over your broadband connection.

Pierre Cardin PC-729 UMPC lands in China
By Chris Davies on Monday, Sep 14th 2009 No CommentsChalk another one up to bizarre branding: you’re looking at the Pierre Cardin PC-729 UMPC, the handiwork of Shenzhen Industries, and while you might assume the Chinese firm have “borrowed unofficially” the designer branding, in actual fact this is the result of a legitimate licensing deal.

Nokia Erdos luxury OLED slider tipped for October [Video]
By Chris Davies on Monday, Sep 14th 2009 No Comments
Nokia’s high-end 8800-series handsets have been in need of a new poster-model for some time, and according to the latest leaks that might just be the new Erdos. The Nokia Erdos is a compact slider with a 2.4-inch 320 x 240 OLED display, 3G WCDMA, WiFi, A-GPS and a 5-megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss autofocus optics and dual LED flash.
However what makes the S60 Erdos special is that all of that is packed into a compact, stainless steel casing that’s apparently carved from a single block of metal. The OLED display is covered by a mirror-finish glass panel that’s only transparent when the display is active.
