Eldar at Mobile-Review is at it again and this time he’s previewed the N97 Mini, a device no-one is quite sure why it exists given its not so big brother has only been on the market for 2 months. Never the less its one step closer to being released with the official announcement to made at Nokia World in September according to sources.
The mini is said to have some benefits over its brethren though, including improved camera and bumped hardware in the form of more ram and increased cpu speed, hopefully this will address the N97’s sluggish performance but unfortunately Nokia decided to stick with the less than popular keyboard design.
Head on over to Mobile-Review to get the full story and as usual, a shed load of pictures.
Here’s a fun little phone I noticed at Englishrussia. The English on the blog isn’t the best, but the pictures are lovely and it’ looks like a head turner. Not quite an iPhone, but reminds me of some of the early Motorolas.
Russian steam punk phone from the Russian man famous for his daughter which started a court plea against Russian state for “having no alternative in current school education for the Darwin theory, putting it as the only right in the minds of schoolchildren”.
Know what’s popular nowadays? Netbooks! Nokia is officially jumping on the netbook bullet train with the “Booklet 3G” — an Intel/Microsoft-based netbook that promises 12-hour battery life, a weight of 2.75 pounds, and apparently built-in GPS. The “3G” portion of the name indicates a wireless data connection as well.
The Acer Aspire Revo is an ultra small form factor PC and is probably among the smallest we’ve seen. Combining the power of the NVidia 9400M Graphics Processor with the lean efficiency of the Intel N230 Processor, the Aspire Revo redefines compact, affordable computing with a package that is big on performance but miniscule in size. Based around nVidia’s ION performance platform, the Revo takes expectation to new levels boasting stutter free 1080p playback, a wealth of connectivity options and a gaming performance that belies it’s small size.
The Acer Aspire Revo
I’m not 100% sure what model Acer have sent me here but the Revo comes in a number of flavours from a 8GB SSD Linux version to a 160GB Windows Vista version. You’ll have to wait for the full review to find out which we have! For now though take a look at the unboxing video below for a quick tour of the Revo.
