Nokia N81 spotted in the wild – sort of

The Nokia N81, it’s beautiful, no doubt. But, actually seeing a pic of an actual N81 really makes us appreciate just how incredibly sleek this handset will be. Well, this really isn’t a live pics the Nokia N81 you see here is a dumb demo – but it still gives us a damn good idea of what the N81 will really look like. The glossy, black finish just exudes a sexiness that seems perfectly suited for an 8GB, WiFi-enabled, 3G musicphone from Nokia. Damnit,  August 29 seems so far away. … Read more

Jabra BT8040 Bluetooth Headset with Multi-point Technology

BlueAnt’s recently released Z9 Bluetooth headset had almost everything we could ask for in a Bluetooth headset – almost. We’d much rather do without that ear-hook  (does that mean it had more than we could ask for?). Regardless, wireless headsets these days are getting smaller – as they pack in more features. Enter the new Nokia BT8040 Bluetooth headset. The tiny 39x18x19mm, 10g, package sports a minimalistic 3-button setup – one for call answering/ending, and a set for volume adjustments – that packs in all the features you could want. … Read more

That’s not a paperclip, it’s Apple’s official iPhone tool!

Take a look at the picture below. Who knew we were calling this metal-apparatus by the wrong name all this time? Apparently, it’s not a “paperclip” – it’s an official “Apple iPhone tool!” This is just hilarious. If only there was some way to get our hands on one of these “tools” without having to send out iPhone in for service. Hmm….anyone have any ideas? But seriously folks, this better be a joke… [Via: Engadget Mobile]

Google is still a player in FCC’s 700Mhz spectrum auction

It looks like Google is still gunning for a piece of that sought-after piece of the 700Mhz spectrum. Even though the FCC didn’t approve Google’s entire wholesale access spectrum proposal, CNN is reporting that the search giant is still “very interested” in bidding in the upcoming spectrum auction. Chris Sacca, head of special initiatives at Google, said that “[they] are still very interested in the auction.” Apparently, the FCC’s approval of open-access rules for the auction are enough to keep Google’s interest piqued. We may just see Google entering the … Read more
