Would you be willing to spend $600 on a feature phone? Some people literally recoil upon hearing this kind of amount for a certain device. So I don’t know how people would react to the latest Sony Ericsson Aino that bears this price tag. Even though it looks really good and has so many great features, most people would run away because of its price tag. This unlocked GSM phone features a huge 3-inch touchscreen display. With its 342x240-resolution, user will surely have great fun navigating through Aino’s various applications.

Is thin still in? Samsung certainly believes so. Proof of this is the newest LCD panel it unveiled on Wednesday. Measuring just 3.9-inches, the 40-inch Full HD is now the thinnest LCD panel in the world! Just imagine, this LCD is 2mm thinner than the standard #2 pencil. This latest entertainment device is even fondly nicknamed “Needle Thin LCD.” With the size it has, it’s not surprising. It would be great to own this baby and be able to display it in the living room.

An invasion is coming to the Arab world, so you folks out there had better get your arms ready! But take note, it’s not the harmful kind. The Massively Multimedia Online Role-Playing Gaming (MMORPG) is coming to the Middle East as former Maktoob CEO Samih Toukan launched Tahadi – the new online gaming company (For those of you who doesn’t understand Arabic, Tahadi is an Arabic word that means challenge). This is the latest addition to Jabbar Internet Group.

Web addresses are about to change! If you think that it’s going to be confined to the English language for all time, you’re wrong. Pretty soon you’ll see web addresses in various characters like Korean, Arabic, Japanese, Hindi, Greek, and Cyrillic. Internet users in these countries will be able to surf the web in their respective languages.

This move to permit other characters other than English is still set for approval on Friday, which is the final day of the meeting that the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) is holding in South Korea.

Microsoft is making another landmark in the history of technology with today’s release of the much-awaited Windows 7 operating system. The OS is on sale starting today. Yet, days and even weeks before its launch, thousands of people have already placed their orders. Even Amazon is overwhelmed by the number of pre-orders they have for Windows 7. The number of pre-orders has even surpassed those for the last Harry Potter book “Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.”

Think you could use a bit of magic in your life? Apple’s new Magic Mouse might just be what you need! Magic Mouse features a multi-touch feature that was only previously available in iPhone, iPod Touch, and MacBooks’ Trackpads. So, how does the Magic Mouse work? The Magic Mouse is designed to be wireless and without buttons as well as trackballs, so its surface is really smooth and flawless. It can connect easily any Mac that has Bluetooth. But it also requires Mac OS X Leopard 10.5.8 or later with Wireless Mouse Software Update 1.0.

Though it’s already a bit late in the race, Barnes & Noble’s new electronic book reader could still capture a big percentage of e-book market. Dubbed as “Nook” this device doesn’t only make it possible for users to read e-books at their convenience, but also allows them to share the fun with their friends. Yup, this is the major attraction that Barnes and Noble hopes would captivate potential customers. Users can lend their choice of books to their friends up to 14 days! Who wouldn’t love that?

One of the most-awaited technology events is now in full swing! The 2009 GITEX Technology Week is an event that techies mustn’t miss. The event was proclaimed officially open on October 18 by His highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum.

Through this feature, this camera is capable of capturing images at 10fps burst rate without compromising superb resolution. It also comes with a much more improved ISO range of 100 to 12,800.

Tired of the Vista OS that you’re using? Personally, yes! So, I’m really glad that there’s a new OS coming up really soon. I’m sure you Vista users out here share the same sentiment. And boy, will I be glad if the new Windows 7 that’s going to be launched on Thursday really runs better than Vista. And the initial reviews about Windows 7 are mostly positive; saying it will make the computer “quicker, smarter, and more fun.” This is definitely music to my ears, and for yours too I’m sure!

Do you want to challenge your creativity in an exciting game? Well, the Project Runway could do that for you. Nope, not in the reality show itself rather in a virtual version that’s especially designed for Nintendo Wii! Doesn’t that sound exciting?! Atari Inc. have the licensing for said game. With the reality show’s popularity and that of the Wii’s, for sure many will nab it immediately as soon as it gets released early next year.

The new JVC PICSIO GC-FM1 camcorder is all about cuteness! This gadget’s cuteness is quite literal since it s size is pretty close to a cellphone. Due to its small size, many are even touting that it is a sound competitor to the crowd’s favourite Flip. Aside from the small size, its stylishness is another factor that makes the JVC PICSIO quite eye-catching. Its body has cube and diamond patterns that make it so attractive. And the fact that it’s available in blue, black, and purple.

Where else on earth can you see a bladeless fan similar to this innovation by James Dyson. The Dyson Air Multiplier Bladeless Fan is a novelty! Nobody has ever designed one like it before. Hmm, I wonder where he got this bright idea from. Anyway, at first glance no one would ever take it for a fan because not only are the typical blades missing its overall design doesn’t look like any other air-generating device. It is simply made up of a tube that serves as the base and perched on top of that base is a huge hoop.
