Ericsson today announced a partnership with Intel that aims to deliver a new level of security for laptops, as well as the data stored inside. Their development will be similar to Lenovo’s Lockdown PC Now announced a few weeks ago, that can disable a stolen laptop by text message. The Intel/Ericsson version will add a GPS locator to the mix, which sends location data to a central server enabling you to retrieve your kit…but only if you’re the gutsy sort. With big mates.

New Nokia E71 – The Slimmer And Sexier E61i

Nokia has made official its new E71 smartphone, a sleek, elegant replacement for the E61i.


This new QWERTY smartphone is only 10mm thick and much like the new E66, it features a 3.2 megapixel camera on the back, combined with a front-facing camera for video calls.

The E71 features a 2.36-inch QVGA screen and has the same new function to switch between business and personal profiles as the E66.


The smartphone includes support for POP/IMAP accounts, push email, Bluetooth 2.0, HSDPA, WiFi and GPS.

The battery will get you 20 days of standby, 4.5 hours of 3G talk or 10.5 hours of GSM talk.

The screen is noticeably smaller than the previous E61i (2.36-inch vs. 2.8-inch) but the new model is more compact in all dimensions and is considerably lighter. It comes in at 4.4-inches tall (vs. 4.6), 2.2-inches wide (vs. 2.7) and 0.4-inch deep (vs. 0.5). It weighs 4.4 ounces (vs. 5.3).

The E71 will cost around $500 for an unlocked handset. There are no carrier subsidies as yet. Like the E66, the E71 will be available around Q3 of this year and come in either grey or white with metallic accents.

There will also be a white 16GB model priced at $299.
The iPhone started at $599 for 8GB and now sells for $399. The new 3G iPhone will be $199 in an effort by Apple to make it even more affordable.

“Just like the first iPhone, this new iPhone 3G is one of the most amazing products I’ve ever had the privilege to be associated with,” said Steve Jobs. He finishes his keynote presentation by saying, “You know, we’ve got such incredibly talented people at Apple — they put their hearts and souls into this product. I hope you can feel it. … and that’s just the start. WWDC 2008 — I think it’s going to be our best so far.”


There is a new ad to accompany the new iPhone – it’s a spy theme.
The tag line is: “Finally, the first phone to beat the iPhone… Introducing the NEW iPhone 3G.”
