Nvidia's Geforce 9M series preview!

Nvidia is to launch its new family of mobile GPUs in the name of GeForce 9M series by late February.
The whole new bunch of GPUs, fabricated using TSMC's 65nm fabrication technology, are the direct variants of the company's desktop part, the GeForce 9 series of GPUs.


In brief, as we have seen from chart Nvidia is now playing with nomenclature rather than implementing new technology in it. Fortunately, we have witnessed the long awaited advent of 256-bit memory interface equipped mobile GPU for mainstream user which might bring significant performance boost when running demanding games as well as applications prevalently found everywhere.

Does it say something confidential, who cares?

It's about time: Nokia 6300i

The truly iconic Nokia 6300, one of the company's bestsellers as well as top revenue generators of 2007, has been overwhelmingly popular especially in Europe and Asia Pacific regions due to its streamlined, sleek, and 13.1 mm at thickest point slim design, yet packed with up-to-date features like 16 million color QVGA display, 2 megapixel camera, EDGE, Bluetooth 2.0 with EDR, music player, and FM radio. It is estimated that over 20 million 6300's have been sold since January last year.

One year has passed...it's time for Nokia 6300 to be refreshed with enhanced features that should make one already decent phone even better and better.

Now let me introduce you its successor which still retains what have impressed you since the time of the Nokia 6300, the new Nokia 6300i...

Nokia's Press Release on Its New 1202 Model!

Budget in the limelight: Nokia’s new classy entry level phone makes its shiny debut

February 11, 2008

The attractive Nokia 1202 offers true balance between affordability and subtly refined design language

Barcelona, Spain - Inspired by the fact that people in emerging market also demands for the stylishly designed, affordable, yet reasonably durable mobile phones, Nokia answers them with the introduction of the new Nokia 1202.

Continuing the tremendous success of the Nokia 1200 as well as strengthening Nokia’s leadership position in entry market, the Nokia 1202 is keenly tailored with additional features to make it more intuitively simple to even the first-time mobile phone users.

In order to improve the visibility and readability, the Nokia 1202 comes equipped with the more vibrant, yet natural white-color backlit black-and-white display as opposed to the Nokia 1200’s traditional amber-color backlit display. Also, to further refine the design attitudes for the entry-level mobile devices, Nokia offers the Nokia 1202 in the elegant white color, which exactly suits its white-color backlight.

For the first time, Nokia lets users belonging to entry market enjoy the top-class call quality by introducing the noise cancellation filters which help decrease background noise for improved sound quality. This unique feature to make the reception call intelligibility better is rarely found in this class of devices.

The Nokia 1202’s other features are largely based on the Nokia 1200 including easy-to-use multi-phone book, useful call-time tracking, handy flashlights, localized languages, a teaching mode that allows non-experienced users to quickly learn how to master the phone, while single-piece rubberized key-mat also protects the phone from dust and water splash, another reality of rural mobile phone use.

The Nokia 1202 will be available in the first quarter of 2008 with an estimated retail price of 30 EUR before subsidies or taxes, only in classy white color initially.
