“I think we as an industry haven’t been that great about inviting people in who don’t have deep dreams about becoming big stars or understanding everything about music production, it’s time for that: I think everyone should be invited to be part of this. Figure is a small step towards that.” – says chief executive Ernst Nathorst Böös.
In being that it's 2010 we have seen that phones are now becoming more like little desktops in our hands. We have also over the years gotten use to having a camera built in to our phones. But now with high tech phones you can do more than just take a picture. In having a phone with the rich software applications that run on devices like the iPhone and Android, you get lots of cool new ways to put your cameraphone to good use.
Foursquare is a app for the iPhone, Blackberry, Palm and Android phones in which it allows you to tell people where you have checked-in at. From the Foursquare website they state people use foursquare to "check-in", which is a way of telling us your whereabouts. When you check-in someplace, we'll tell your friends where they can find you and recommend places to go & things to do nearby. People check-in at all kind of places - cafes, bars, restaurants, parks, homes, offices.

The inPulse smartwatch is not a BlackBerry Smartphone on your wrist, nor is it manufactured by Research in Motion (nor is RIM developing an accessory like this on their own - this is the "BB watch"). Rather, the inPulse smartwatch is manufactured by Allerta, a new Waterloo-based start-up focused on intelligent smartphone accessories, and works as a companion to your BlackBerry Smartphone to notify you of incoming BlackBerry messages/events.inPulse smartwatch for BlackBerry Tech Specs & Key Features
The new Sony PSP Go was launched this week, it has gotten some various opinions and reviews. The PSP Go has a slick new look with a crisp clear screen to the new gaming format. The PSP Go is a sleek-looking device, which is 16 percent lighter and 35 percent smaller than its predecessor, the PSP 3000. The screen has shrunk to 3.8 inches from 4.3 inches. The Go supports Bluetooth but, most importantly, the UMD drive is gone. That means all content, including games, must be saved to the device's 16GB internal memory or a Memory Stick Micro (M2) card. The Go retails for $250, and it looks like a 16GB Memory Stick Micro card will set you back somewhere between $60 and $80.Sony will be releasing software called Media Go to help users manage the PSP's content on their PC (this replaces the older, and not terribly useful, Sony Media Manager software). The company is also promising a feature called "Sense Me" that will analyze your music library to play music based on a mood you choose.
Again, it appears the existing interoperability between the PS3 and the PSP line will be carried over to the PSP Go. That includes the ability to cross-load some games and media, as well as the Remote Play option (access PS3-based content from the PSP over the Internet).

HTC passed around their latest creation: an Android-based device they're calling Hero. And... wow! I have always been a fan of HTC since back when they came out with the HTC 8125. If you recall that phone was a monster but back in the day it was full of features that other phones during that time did not have. So now as time has passed we look for more features and a slicker looking style phones.
The camera, backed by an excellent 5MP sensor with autofocus and digital zoom, takes pictures that shame the iPhone's (3G or 3G S), even though zooming is confusingly operable by the rolly nav ball instead of any of the soft keys. And the rest of the phone's physical chassis is above and beyond what we've come to expect even from a good hardware maker like HTC: the glass screen is oliophobic, so fingerprints wipe off easily, and the backing is infused with Teflon so it doesn't stain or fade with contact from palm or purse. The screen is crisp and bright--moreso than the iPhone--and the body itself feels more compact than Apple's device, although they're virtually the same size. Even HTC's trademark "foot"--the bend at the bottom of the device--seems refined from its odd incarnation on the G1.Unlike the G1 or the new myTouch 3G, the Hero has a 3.5mm headphone jack at the top, and unlike the iPhone, it plays Flash animations out of the box.
HTC says the Hero will go on sale in the U.S. this fall in two colors, black and white, but no price or carrier has been disclosed.
Here are the specs of the phone. HTC Hero

The Nokia 888 concept design by Tamer Nakisci can be changed to any form. You can change its shape according to your needs during the day but don’t have to carry it in your pocket or on your wrist; take it anywhere and in any form.
This cellphone concept can be rolled, bent, placed on your clothes like a clip and more. It uses liquid battery, speech recognition, flexible touch screen, and a touch sensitive body cover which lets it understand and adjust to the environment.
As well as the shape, the color of the Nokia 888 Mobile Phone may also be changed.
The idea behind the design of Nokia 888 is thatthe perfect form does not exist. Form follows you so they create the perfect form for each function.
Another one of Tomy's electro-mechanical games. The battery does power the mechanism via a small motor. The lights in the game are normal, flash-light style light bulbs. (Foreign release called Black Racer, Demon Driver and Formula 1.) (Check out Drive Yourself Crazy...)
Gary Duke has written a simulator for this game that works on Palm OS PDAs, check it out here.
