AT&T today launched the Nokia 6650, a stylish clamshell featuring Symbian-based S60 platform.

Designed with premium materials and customizable illumination, the 6650 features a sharp 2.2-inch display with QVGA (16 million colors) resolution.

It has external audio playback keys, external soft keys and a 1.36-inch display that captures photos, controls music and changes profile settings without ever having to open the device. A built-in 2.0-megapixel camera has an integrated flash to snap high-quality images even in low-light conditions.

Running on AT&T's 3G network, customers share live video while participating in calls via AT&T Video Share, or listen and download music from Napster, eMusic or XM Radio.

"Nokia created this device for the thriving consumer appetite for navigation, multimedia and entertainment essentials in one stylish, affordable package," said Ian Laing, Vice President of Sales at Nokia. "We are excited to introduce this device, built on the most open and mature mobile platform in the world, to AT&T."

The Nokia 6650 will be available in red and silver colors beginning Nov. 14 for $69.99 with a two-year service agreement.

"Adobe’s Flash Player is on 98 percent of all desktop computers, but it is still struggling to make the jump to mobile phones. If you want Flash on a mobile device, right now you have to settle for a compromised version: Flash Lite. But Adobe is committed to bring the full Flash Player experience to mobile phones, as evidenced by its Open Screen Project. On Monday, at its Adobe MAX developer conference, it will demonstrate Flash Player 10 running on a Windows Mobile phone. (However, Flash won’t actually ship on Windows Mobile until late next year)."

Adobe MAX has come and gone and during that time Adobe has announced that would release Flash technology to the Windows Mobile platform and even demonstrated versions of Flash running on Windows Mobile and Google Android. It is really interesting to see Flash running on Google's Android platform as these handsets are virtually brand spanking new. It is amazing to see how quickly big name companies such as Adobe are jumping on consumer smartphone bandwagon since the release of the Apple iPhone and Google Android platforms. Sometimes I wish Microsoft could inspire that kind of innovation and excitement in the mobile industry. It is an incredibly exciting time to be a smartphone user, no matter which device or operating system is in your pocket. However I am still annoyed that it has taking this long for Adobe to get around to bringing Flash to our handsets.

AT&T, the nation's largest network operator, has come together with Korean cell phone manufacturer to launch the LG Incite.

Every now and again the debate stirs up over the merits of desktop vs. web based software. The debate ends here! And the answer is simple - it’s both!

My co-worker and friend, Nick Bradbury, sums it up in one line:

“PS: As I’ve written before, I think the so-called battle between web and desktop apps is overblown. It’s a hybrid world, not an either-or situation.”

There are many things to consider before you a purchase a cell phone. One major consideration for most consumers is the price of the cell phone.

Understandably, cell phones that have very few “bells and whistles” will cost much less than a mobile phone that also serves as an MP3 player, a video camera, a camera and has a full QWERTY keyboard, although sometimes you can pick these phones up for relatively cheap if the wireless carrier is offering incentives or rebates.

What’s not included in the price of most cell phones is the wireless service to make phone calls and send text messages. Wireless plans can vary from prepaid accounts which allow subscribers to pay as they go (or use minutes) to family calling plans that offer multiple handsets for family members with a calling plan that covers all the mobile phones in the family.

You can buy a cheap prepaid cell phone at most large retailers such as Wal-Mart, Target and even some smaller drug stores. Convenient and cheap, prepaids are a popular choice for those that aren’t “heavy users.”

My advice is, check cell phone prices before you buy. Since it’s a buyer’s market, chances are you can find a better price if you search vendors before buying.

If you?re not yet turned off by MSI?s recent price hikes or you have a three-cell version of the Wind already, a post over in the MSI Wind Forums details how to turn the small-ish three-cell battery into a whopping nine-cell battery.

It looks relatively easy if you?re really determined, although I?d likely not attempt anything that involved slicing the battery open with a box cutter. Finding the extra six cells to add to the standard three cells might be a bit difficult, too, as the forum poster simply says that he was able to ?get a source of the same batteries that are in the Wind? but doesn?t detail how the rest of us could get our hands on those batteries.

If you?re the daring type, though, here?s a brief overview of the process.

First, you open up the front side of the battery using a small flathead screwdriver to pry each end apart. Opening the back side is more tricky and requires slicing a series of tabs off with a box cutter (?they?re obviously not meant to be separated?). Then, the dividers inside the battery casing are all removed to make way for the six extra cells that?ll be added.

Then, you have to finagle the metal tabs into making contact with the four cells on each of the outside corners of the battery pack. If you can manage to do all that without destroying your battery or hurting yourself, it looks like you?ll be able to squeeze out over seven hours of use.

Much more detailed instructions can be found here.

Citing “duplication of assignments”, Virgin Mobile USA has announced that they have laid off 45 employees from their New Jersey and California offices, which works out to about 10% of their workforce.

This comes just months after Virgin Mobile purchased post-paid MVNO Helio for $39 million. The terms of that deal already entailed a whole lot of cuts to the Helio team, and I’d imagine that today’s announcement means more jobs lost by that camp.

The Lord Chief Justice of the UK legal system has opined that “it might be better to present information for young jurors on screens because that is how they were used to digesting information.” The Telegraph reported the concern in an article titled Web-savvy young make bad jurors because they cannot listen, says Lord Chief Justice. Here is more from the article:

Currently information is provided on screens to jurors, such as in complex fraud trials, but “not without difficulty and with great expense”, he said.

He added: “What about the defendant’s oral testimony and child witness complaining of an indecent assault which the defendant adamantly denies?

“What process aimed at finding the truth between them, and enabling a jury to decide where the truth lies, will be in place in 25 years time? What will happen to our oral tradition? Should it, will it, be forced to change?”

Lord Judge also conceded that it was inevitable some jurors defy a judge’s direction and make “private enquiries” into a case using the internet. In one case a juror went online using a Blackberry-device during a rape case, causing the conviction to be quashed.

Lord Judge said that he did not have solutions to these concerns. But he suggested that in the future the courts system must be “capable of development and adaptable for the future”.

Google has been making headlines recently with its new Online Flu Tracker which, as the Fox News story says today, “will help U.S. federal health experts track the annual flu epidemic.” The new Flu Trends page at Google describes how the tracker works, and includes this explanation:

Each week, millions of users around the world search for online health information. As you might expect, there are more flu-related searches during flu season, more allergy-related searches during allergy season, and more sunburn-related searches during the summer. You can explore all of these phenomena using Google Trends. But can search query trends provide an accurate, reliable model of real-world phenomena?

We have found a close relationship between how many people search for flu-related topics and how many people actually have flu symptoms. Of course, not every person who searches for “flu” is actually sick, but a pattern emerges when all the flu-related search queries from each state and region are added together. We compared our query counts with data from a surveillance system managed by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and discovered that some search queries tend to be popular exactly when flu season is happening. By counting how often we see these search queries, we can estimate how much flu is circulating in various regions of the United States.

HTC Fuze More Photos - View Specs

AT&T today launched the HTC Fuze, a Windows Mobile smartphone with a QWERTY keyboard and TouchFLO 3D touch screen user interface.

Powered by Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional, the Fuze is a compact, powerful smartphone with a smooth gloss black finish and unique faceted backplate. It features a sharp, 262K-color 2.8-inch (480 x 640 px) VGA touch screen. A full QWERTY keyboard slides out from the side.

TouchFLO 3D is designed for one-hand operation using gesture-based navigation. Customers simply touch, hold and slide along the screen tabs. A quick slide on the home screen activates the most used features such as email, text messaging, music player and camera. The "zoom in, zoom out" feature accesses the Internet via Opera browser for desktop-like webpage rendering.

AT&T customers can choose from popular platforms to access their corporate email. Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional offers integration with Microsoft Outlook information such as email, contacts, calendar and to-do lists.

It's not even December, yet Macworld rumors are starting to fly. Digital Times is reporting that Apple is among the vendors ready to use Intel's new 65W low-power desktop CPUs, specifically designed for all-in-one computers. The lower heat output makes these great little chips for the iMac.

Additionally, these chips would come with a faster bus, and even run a bit cheaper than the dual core chips Apple is currently using - the 2.33GHz, 2.66GHz and 2.83GHz chips cost $245, $320 and $369, respectively, according to Digital Times.

The iMac has been the star of many Macworld keynote speeches, and we expect the same this year. See you in January!

Looks like NVIDIA’s going down the same path as AMD to get more power of its GPU?s, well in fact NVIDEA are going to take it to a whole new level. NVIDEA has just announced its all new GPU-based Tesla Personal Supercomputer.

So what is this all new GPU-based Tesla Personal Supercomputer all about then? Well they say it will give you power of the traditional supercomputer cluster at 1/100th of the price and if that is not enough how about a platform based on the company?s new Tesla C1060 GPU Computing Processor which in itself is based on NVIDIA’s CUDA parallel computing architecture.

These supercomputers will come with many new host manufacturers that have already partnered with NVIDIA and those include Dell, Lenovo, ASUS and many more. The details are still pretty secret at the moment but we will definitely let you know more soon as we hear more. They will be of similar prices of a conventional PC workstation.
