Google Sky hiding something from us. What could that be?

Google Sky is an application which lets you take a look at the sky above. It is something like having a powerful telescope in your computer.

When I heard this news which is about Google sky, I thought the writer must be kidding. I surmised why would the Google do that? Well, I decided to find it out myself. Go to 5h 53m 27s, -6 10′ 58″.

“Pictures speak louder than the words”. Right? Anyway, what can it be? Planet X is what comes to my mind.

*I was on the EEE PC at that time and that is the reason for  the 800 x 480 resolution.

Nokia E71 review

Let me first admit, I’m a DIE-HARD windows mobile fan. But, when I was asked to do a review of Nokia E71, I first thought of passing it to one of the team-members. Later on, I thought that this looks like an interesting device. It is thin, elegant and has a lot of great features.

Just a few days ago, I’d done a big review of Palm Centro, which also had a similar design. The only physical difference is the lack of touch-screen in Nokia E71. But, the Nokia E71 is way superior device. Let’s see:

Nokia E71 review

The way I would describe E71 as “just put the Nokia E61 on a low-carb diet and after some days, you will get E71!”. Pretty funny but now you got an idea of how slim it is.

Let’s acutally see how slim it is:

Ergonomics and Usability

The device has curvy body now unlike it’s predecessor E61, which was quite boxy. The device has a nice QWERTY keypad which I found to be very usable. The device is very small when compared to Nokia E61. People with small hands who used to have trouble using the E61 with one hand will love this as the width of the E71(57mm) is considerably smaller than the E61(69.7mm)

New Specs, New Pictures of FUJITSU U2010

A Vietnamese forum has come up with more pictures and specifications for the Fujitsu U1010.

Rumored Specifications of the Fujitsu U2010:

CPU: Intel Atom 1.6Ghz 1.8Ghz
Screen Size: 5″6
Resolution: 1024×768
HDD: 80Gb
RAM: 1Gb
OS: Vista Business
Communications: 3G, GPS, Wifi, Bluetooth
Weight: 680gm
Expected price: US $1300

According to me, the best improvement is the keyboard, which is now “Vaio/Macbook” style. Another great improvement is the more standard resolution (1024 x 768).Price has increased by 80gm, but it comes with built-in 3G and GPS. But, still 1GB RAM. Why Fujitsu, why?

But, look at that price tag. Ouch!
