Windows Phone 7 Review

The goal for Microsoft’s latest smartphone is an ambitious one: to deliver a phone that truly integrates the things people really want to do, puts those things right in front of them, and either lets them get finished quickly or immerses them in the experience they were seeking. The result is Windows Phone 7, which will make its debut in some European markets on Oct. 21 and in time for the holidays in the U.S.

The phone uses an elegant operating system that is very different from the current trend toward app-focused phones. Instead it provides active and configurable interface elements called tiles that update on the fly with real information, allowing users to place the tiles that interest them most where they want on their Start screen. Facebook photos, music and contacts are pulled into the phone and distributed appropriately across Hubs. It also brings together many of Microsoft’s popular offerings from other platforms, including Xbox, Zune, Office and Bing.
The new phone is an important step for Microsoft in three ways. To begin, it is a completely fresh start for Microsoft in smartphones. Second, it represents a new approach from Microsoft toward integrating products and services from across the company into the phone to create a richer experience and greater productivity. Hence the presence of Office, Zune and Xbox LIVE and their integration within the Hub model. And finally, the new phone approach is critical to Microsoft’s efforts to make new gains in the huge smartphone market, which despite the success of the iPhone and Android is still relatively untapped globally.

Gresso Luxor World Time luxury phone

Luxury phone maker Gresso introduces its new Luxor World Time, designed specifically for the world traveler.
As you can see from the image above, owners have the ability to bring up the time for six different locations at a time.
This is handled by the six independent Swiss clockwork mechanisms. The company says that the power reserve is clocked at 10 years.
Watch on the back panel of the phone shows time of the five main world business centres: Tokyo, Moscow, Paris, London and New York.

The sixth, and perhaps most important, slot is wherever you want it to be, which can be your home, or where you might be travelling to.
Screen and clock-face with elegant Roman figures located on the back panel are fringed with two 97-carat sapphire crystals with high-gloss coating.
Luxor World Time case is produced from ultrastrong and superlight titanium alloy specially developed for Gresso.


It is coated with high-tech ceramics at the closing stage – such coating does not tarnish and discolor with the lapse of time (this material was originally used only in space industry).
The front panel is offset with a bezel made of planished steel with black PVD coating, while the back panel features genuine Italian leather.
Each key of the keypad made of a single sapphire crystal that has been manually polished with a diamond tool to make it pleasant to the touch.
Gresso is selling the Luxor World Time phone through its website for US$6,000.

Having been a lifelong fan of Joy Division and Patti Smith, as well as a member of a youth band, UNDERCOVER’s Jun Takahashi has always attributed music as a major source of inspiration and key influence in the aesthetic of his UNDERCOVER label. Taking that to the next level, the Japanese designer announces a new development alongside Coca-Cola Zero, together producing a collection of merchandise based around the universal theme of music. Officially dubbed “Zero Makes Noise”, the campaign will be featured on a new Coca-Cola Zero can, as well as a four piece collection, including Undercover × Coca-Cola Zero jeans, a graphic t-shirt, iPhone 3GS/4 phone case and tote bag. The project itself will be curated by SILLY THING, marking the first ever non-fashion collaboration for the UNDERCOVER brand. Further details on how to obtain these items are available through Cokezero.hk, with the promotional period running from September 18th through October 2010.
