Ferrari Motorola Z8 Limited Edition

Posted on December 31, 2007 by ColmNo Comments

I’m an F1 fan and would love to get my hands on this (just to show off to my friends). The phone has not yet bee release but as always these things appear in the Internet first just to help the marketing.

The phone is the same spec as the Motorola Z8 but it now comes in a red and black colour layout and a Ferrari logo. When you buy the phone you’ll get pre-registration to the official site of Ferrari, www.ferrariworld.com, a couple of videos from Ferrari, Ferrari wallpapers and ringtones, some online magazine subscriptions and it also comes Bundled with “The Bourne Identity” movie which is a good movie and nothing to do with ferrari.

The MOTO Z8 Ferrari Limited Edition will be available at Ferrari stores and Motorola retailers somewhere around the first quarter of 2008.

Quick look at another mobile from Samsung, the W159 supports CDMA1X 800MHZ and GSM 900/1800MHZ. It also features a 2 mega pixel camera, 260K colour QVGA screen, microSD support, FM radio, measures 105×53×14.9mm and weighs 123 grams.

Samsung just keep on rolling out new phones all the time and I’m sure we will see alot more from them in 2008 in Ireland.

iPhone Remote Control

Posted on December 22, 2007 by ColmNo Comments

Nice little app this if you happen to have an iPhone and Mainlobby, now mainlobby is a really cool devise that lets you control various items around your house (lighting, heating, TV and other video equipment, audio and anything else that you could probably think of)

The Mainlobby device comes with a web interface and they have released software that will work with an iPhone or iTouch. It works by using Mainlobby’s built in web server and Safari’s AJAX support.

I guess it’s really handy with the advantage of the iPhone touch screen and nice if you have a big home to have this equipment in that you need remote controlled lighting…I would really go for this if it was able to open the fridge and get me a beer, but I might have to wait for the next software version.

IPhone to be launched in France next week

Posted on November 28, 2007 by ColmNo Comments

We still have to wait in Ireland for this….anyway France Telecom said the launch of Apple’s iPhone will occur in late-night openings at 12 of its Orange stores. Bordeaux, Lille, Lyons, Marseilles, Montpellier, Nancy, Nice, Nantes, Rennes, Strasbourg and Toulouse will be welcoming iPhone fans from 6:30 pm onwards.

It will charge between 49 ($72) and 119 euros a month and 399 euros for the iPhone itself. Orange is also offering iPhone at 549 euros to customers who do not wish to benefit from one of the four “Orange for iPhone” plans and at 649 euros without a plan. The cost of unlocking the handset is 100 euros during the six months following the acquisition of the iPhone, France Telecom said.

It gives us an idea of pricing as I hope it will be something similar when we finally get to see this next year.

Korean man killed by exploding mobile phone

Posted on November 28, 2007 by ColmNo Comments

According to the AP, a quarry worker in South Korea was found dead on Wednesday with the remnants of an LG mobile melted into his shirt pocket.

For its part, while acknowledging that one of its phones was indeed the culprit, LG reportedly claimed that dying due to such an accident was “virtually impossible.”

I have no idea if this story is true or not just that most man tend to keep their mobile in their trouser pocket so just be warned.

N95 Controls a RC Car

Posted on November 28, 2007 by ColmNo Comments

If your lucky to have a Nokia N95 here’s something you can do for Christmas, on your wish list put a remote control car and then run this hack.The N95 comes with a built in accelerometer sensor and two guys Andreas Jakl and Stephan Selinger have launched the ShakerRacer project, which enable a hacked RC Car to be controlled by the Nokia N95 using the sensor.

It works in a very intuitive way: just tilt your phone in the direction you want to drive. That’s it!
