If you want to get entertained the latest technologies by Nokia with some stylish outlook then this one will really suit your requirements.

At last, the long awaited Nokia N97 is about to appear this summer. The stylish slider with a full QWERTY keyboard was being awaited since long by Nokia lovers as well as by the critics. This little multimedia computer will slide right into your hands for $699 before subsidies. 19th June has been announced for UK launch, whereas no definite date has been given by the mobile phone giant for US launch.

Pre-order is available on Nokia’s website, in black and white color. From 26th of June, the phone will hit mobile operators in the UK reportedly. Still, it has not been defined as which carriers will be joining. As for the specs of this long awaited beauty, let us take a start with 32 GB on board memory and a nice 5 MP camera. The already-huge memory is further expandable to another 16 GB through microSD. Freshly, a Facebook app has been released for Nokia N97 that is also compatible with Nokia 5800. This otherwise-nice-but-lacking-chat-feature app can be downloaded from the Ovi store.

There seems to be a mobile phone battle coming up, with Nokia N97, Palm Pre and Apple’s new iPhone launching narrowly. Surely, this summer is going to be fun.

The first Android-powered GI was quite nagging as well as boring for many, as it missed features like stereo Bluetooth, camera without video recording and the most perplexing thing was its design. Though you would find the same 3.2” display, yet some new tricks have been introduced that makes the magic quite appealing and a real white magic for those who want better functionality in their cell phones with sleek design and impressive look.

The Good

• Exceptional touchscreen
• Large number of free apps
• Impressive design

The Bad

• Limited storage for apps
• Not so up to the mark battery life
• No 3.5mm headphone jack

The Usual:

Design

The thing that grabs your attention in the very first look and feel is its lightness in weight and thinness in structure and no availability of QWERTY keyboard has played an important role to get that thinness and sleekness in looks that make the Magic really mesmerizing. You may have heard a lot about black magic, but white magic also exists and if you want to look in concrete form, the HTC Magic is a real thing for you, as it’s not less than a true white magic. The nicest thing unlike many other present day smartphones, you can keep it easily in your pocket the whole day long without notice and you would find it a small tub of lard that makes your pocket hang all the time.

Specs and Features

• It weighs 118.5g with 117.7x55x13.7mm dimensions
• 2G and 3G network for GSM and HSDPA.
• 3.2-inches TFT display with 320×480 pixels
• MP3, downloadable polyphonic WAV ringtones
• Speakerphone
• MicroSD card slot
• 512 MB ROM and 192 MB RAM
• GPRS data
• Bluetooth
• No infrared port
• miniUSB
• Video calling
• Android Operating System
• HTML browser
• SMS, Email, MMS, and IM for messaging
• Document viewer
• Voice memo
• MP3 player

The available Android browser has been built on a Webkit that makes things

quite easier to slide around the page in an easy and nice way. The same tightness of Google’s app integration can be felt as in the G1. But StreetView addition in the function of the apps seems to work nicely.

It is easy to access and use Android Market, but it has to be even further easier to fight well against the Apple App Store that has been serving as a cash cow for Apple for quite some time and considering the very success of Apple App Store, now some other players are looking for developing their own such app stores.

The thing that makes HTC Magic somewhat inferior is the lack of QWERTY keyboard, but its impressive touchscreen seems to compensate the missing of the QWERTY keyboard.

Unique Selling Points

• Impressive sleek design and light weight
• Nice touchscreen
• Lots of free apps

To improve efficiency in business people, the two companies are considering designing new software that can be very handy for business users while on the go and help them perform various tasks amazingly quickly.

One example of this new venture is Hewlett Packard’s CloudPrint for RIM’s BlackBerry cell phone.  With the help of this web-based service, BlackBerry users will be able to print their various stuff like documents, web pages, emails, photos and other such stuff as long as they are online.

Another software named as HP Operations Manager will also be launched that will offer better control to IT with Enterprise Server of BlackBerry.

This server software and Web service from HB will be demonstrated at the Wireless Enterprise Symposium that will start from 5th May in Orlando.

No word about the availability of the new software, but according to the statement issues by the companies, it seems that the two companies the services will be workable with BlackBerry Enterprise Server 5.0.

All the three brands produce laptops.

Apple:

Apple’s laptops have been named by the company as “MacBook”. There are three categories, MacBook, MacBook Pro and MacBook Air.
