New Nokias headsets for the noggin

Posted by: breley on Dec 04 2007 - 607 views

Nokia today unveiled two new headset offerings, the Nokia Stereo Headset WH-600 and the Nokia Stereo Headset WH-700.  Both offerings boast seamless switchover between music and calls, so when fielding a call, your tunes will stop, and when the call completes, the music continues where it left off.  Both sets come with adapters for 3.5mm connectors and feature call management and volume control, allowing users control when and where they need to talk.

The WH-600 features headband styling and the on-the-ear headset helps to suppress all those pesky exterior noises that can interfere with acoustic enjoyment, and its smaller sibling, the WH-700, sports a more subdued and lightweight earbud layout for users on the go.

These headsets are slated to be released in January 2008, at an estimated cost of approximately $96US for the WH-600 and $73US for the WH-700.

Google making a face(book) with Maka-Maka?

Posted by: breley on Oct 31 2007 - 485 views

Google’s presumed answer to the social networking Facebook site, its so-called "Maka-Maka", is reportedly just a week or so away from release.  Not too much is known about Maka-Maka just yet, but it is rumored to have a goodly amount of third party support and a lot of open applications for developers to delve into.  With Google’s search engine capabilities and access to users interests, it seems only logical they would have a knack for setting up a social networking product to match people with similar interests.

Assuming no delays, date of release for Maka-Maka is speculated to be around November 5.

Is Verizon saying "If we can’t beat Google, we’ll partner with Google?"

Posted by: breley on Oct 31 2007 - 550 views

 

After getting something of a black eye in court last week in a legal spar with Google Inc., Verizon Wireless is in serious discussions with Google regarding the possibility of carrying phones built around a new Google operating system. 

That’s something of an odd turnaround given Verizon was in court just last week trying to prevent Google from compelling wireless carriers to open up their networks to more services, but ended up dropping the appeal.

In any case, if the partnership is successful, Google would get access to nearly 64 million potential customers.  However, the deal may still be far from fruition.
