Sorry, pervert: Anti-groping mobile phone application now available in Japan
Bless Google Images, and the accurate images which pop up when you search for the word ‘groping’. Good thing I had the safety filter on, eh?
Japanese women are apparently going mad for a new application available for download on mobile handsets over there. The ‘Anti-Groping Appli’ flashes various messages up on mobiles, such as ‘Excuse me, did you just grope me?’, ‘Groping is a crime’, and finally ‘Shall we head to the police?’ It’s currently sitting at number seven on this week’s top 10 list of mobile applications over there, with groping of innocent women on public transport an increasingly huge problem.
I have my doubts over whether such an application could work here in Britain or not. Imagine riding the tube late at night, when some drunkard fondles your boob. Would you really consider whipping…
Battle of the purple mobiles: Girls Aloud with the Samsung F210 and Sugababes with the Sony Ericsson K770i
You may’ve heard there’s a battle going on over here in the UK. Forget the rugby, the format wars, and the oft-rumoured general election, it’s something far more important. Purple mobile phones. Girl bands. Oh yes, our country has a civil war going on, and it sure is…pretty?
Last Wednesday one of the country’s largest girl bands, Girls Aloud, launched the Samsung F210 Purple, a model exclusive to Phones 4 U. Now this Wednesday, just seven days later, will see their biggest rival girl-band, Sugababes, launch the K770i Purple with Sony Ericsson. Has London been gripped with Purple Power, now that Prince has packed his bags and left the country after 21 sell-out shows?
It sure will be interesting to see which purple phone will conquer the market here in Britain, especially with the constant rumours about rivalry between the two bands. Take a look under the jump, where I pit the K770i against the F210. Who will win this diva-studded war? Only the specs will say…
Nokia reveals UK price of N81, and us Brits are paying extra!
Yesterday, I reported on Nokia’s announcement that its new N81 handsets were shipping, including the whizzy N81 8GB model. The press release gave the estimated retail price as 430 Euros (around £300).
However, Nokia’s been in touch to confirm the actual UK SIM-free price of the N81 8GB, and it’s going to set us back £394 including VAT. Ouch! I’m not sure where that extra £94 has come from, but it’s probably the government’s fault *shakes fist at taxation injustice*.
Nokia 6500 Slide mobile like the other one but with a better camera (for snapping your dog with)
Nokia’s second 6500 mobile they’ve just launched is the slidey-slide model, intended for mobile Annie Leibovitz/Terry Richardson wannabes.
It’s pretty much the same as the Classic model, with 3G technology, however has been beefed up on the photography side with a 3.2-mepagixel…
Nokia rolls out the 6500 Classic 3G mobile phone with 2-megapixel camera
The Nokia 6500 Classic and Slide mobile phones have finally launched in the UK, after hearing about them more than three months ago. Gotta love internet rumours.
Pictured, the 6500 Classic has been created using anodized aluminium and each phone is individually diamond-polished apparently, so every user will have a ‘unique’ model. Measuring 9.5mm long, it…
Mobile phone search engine Taptu now officially official, officer.
Music-lovers and know-it-alls, rejoice! Taptu has finally launched, meaning you’ll never be stuck whilst on the go anymore.
It’s basically a search-engine for your mobile, perfectly formatted for your screen which uses new technology called social-assisted search. This is all good news for people who simply must prove their friends wrong whilst in the pub, and feel the need to use their mobiles to get the…
Gold and diamond-encrusted Formula 1 Spyker mobile seen at Hong Kong Electronics Fair
If you thought Vertu mobiles cost more than your arm and leg, then wait until you hear how much this one from Formula 1 team Spyker will set you back.
Coming in at a whopping £30,000, it won’t just cost you an arm and a leg, more likely all your limbs and…
Tech Digest competition: win a Tesco Internet Phone Stickphone!
You might’ve seen Alex’s video review the other week of the Tesco Internet Stickphone, which allows you to use their internet phone service with your computer or laptop. If you did, you would know all about the competition we’re running from today, then, where Tech Digest are giving out two of Tesco Internet Phone’s Stickphones, and our friends at Shiny Shiny have two to give away as well…
Beyonce is very happy to endorse Samsung's Bphone
Or you could just say it’s a standard old Samsung UpStage 620 music phone given a marginal makeover and marketing boost.
The UpStage is the one with screens and buttons on both sides – hold it one way round and it’s a phone. Flip it over and good crikey there’s a load of MP3 player buttons…
Super-blurry Motorola photos hint at 8-megapixel 'Skarven' mobile
img style=”margin:5px; float: left;” alt=”blurry-motorola-pics.jpg” src=”https://www.techdigest.tv/blurry-motorola-pics.jpg” width=”263″ height=”260″ />Don’t blame us for these ultra-blurry photos, they were taken by a sneaky journo in a Motorola presentation in Amsterdam, where photo-taking was strictly NOT allowed.
They previewed four new mobiles for next year’s line-up, including ‘Skarven’, (top right) which apparently has 8-megapixels (yes, this is still a mobile phone we’re talking about), optical zoom and a touch-sensitive screen. The three other phones that were proudly shown off by Motorola include the X PIXL (5-megapixels), TEXEL (music-playing handset with multi-layered keypad) and…
