The Nokia iPhone

The Nokia iPhone was dropped on the world during the launch of the 8 GB Nokia N95 and the N81, if you look at the video clip below you will see what we mean by “direct copy of Apple’s phone”.

It looks not only sleek but a direct copy of the Apple iPhone and we are sure the Apple lawyers might also be interested.




After watching the video you will also noticed that the interface is just like the iPhones, but to add to the fire is what Nokia’s Executive VP (Anssi Vanjoki) said at a Q&A session, “If there is something good in the world then we copy with pride”.

That does make sense, but can they really do that?

Nokia may be aiming to take the best of the most hyped phone in history (The iPhone) and also improve on the weaknesses like its slow internet connection speeds, locked to one network, poor camera and high price.

Expect the Nokia iPhone to have HSDPA, a least a 5 megapixel camera (like the N95) and the launch date should be in 2008.

The New iMac

Apple Inc. updated its iMac computers Tuesday with a slimmer design, faster chips and glossy screens, hoping to further propel sales that already outpace the rest of the PC industry.

The all-in-one desktop computers now have aluminum casings, replacing the white plastic facade that has defined the computer lineup for years. The new iMacs will come in only 20-inch and 24-inch versions.

With starting prices at $1,199 and $1,799, respectively, the computers are also $200 to $300 cheaper than their predecessors.

Analysts have been anticipating an iMac revamp for some time from the trendsetting company. Apple last introduced a new iMac in September 2006 when it debuted the large 24-inch model.

The success of the iPod, Apple's retail stores and the company's switch to Intel-based computer chips have all helped boost the Macintosh maker's computer sales and profits to record levels. In recent quarters, Apple's sales have been growing three times faster than the rest of the PC industry.
