Ah Java – a once massively hyped future-of-the-web-technology, now a ubiquitous, its-everywhere-but-you-never-see-it kind of thing. Everything these days seems to be ‘Java-enabled’ – in fact, if you have a device that seems to have at least some computational ability, you…

If it’s Java downloads you’re after for your mobile, then you might want to spend some time at the www.getjar.com web site. Be warned though – you could very easily find yourself spending hours here, as the site makes it…

OK, I could be accused of being cynical, but this amazing looking phone looks too good to be true. It’s a 2 megapixel camera plus video recording phone with ‘Carl Zeiss lens’ (oooh!) – so far so good, what we’d expect for the next gen phones, and a nice step up from the current crop of 1 megapixellers. Not quite as good as some of the camera resolutions available elsewhere, but good all the same, and Nokia are noted for decent quality images from their phones (link here). The real seller, of course, is the amazing looks of the thing!

I mean, look at it – see it twist, see it flip, imagine your mates’ faces when you get it out casually, and before their very eyes start making little origami shapes out of your phone! Forget the quality of the gadgets, look at the thing twist!

So, you’re a mobile phone company, everyone says this is the year of the music mobile phone. Sony Ericsson has its Walkman brand, Motorola’s eloped with Apple’s iTunes, and you…well you have no music brand. Damn it! Guess you’ll have to focus on features instead then.

And thank Nokia for that! Nokia’s latest handset, coming to Blighty October 2005, not only focuses on music features, it overdoses on them. 4GB hard disk gives serious space for all your tunes, which can be downloaded over the air, over bluetooth, via USB, or, best of all, over a WLAN connection!
