Nokia's Concept Phones

When you think of concept phones, you think technological prowess, ungainly good looks and a generous helping of awesomeness. This is the perfect excuse to pull together what we consider to be the top 5 Nokia concept phones in the world.


5. Nokia Aeon
In at number 5 is the Nokia Aeon. Back in 2006 the Nokia Aeon was one of the earlier concept phones to realise a full surface touchscreen. Its futuristic looks were ahead of their time and it certainly wouldn’t look out of place in today’s market.


4. Windows Phone Concept
 
Bright, bold and beautiful, the Windows Phone Concepts are a first snapshot of what we can expect from the Nokia and Microsoft tie-in. Exciting times ahead!


3. Nokia 888


Dubbed the Nokia 888, this concept phone is ultra-lightweight, wafer thin and incredibly flexible. It is powered by liquid battery and has a touch screen display. What more could you want?


2. Nokia E-Cu


Scaling the dizzy heights at number 2, is a concept phone that uses your body heat to charge itself! We’ve all been there, our mobile phone is about to die and we can’t get to a charger in time. Well the Nokia E-Cu would solve this problem. Built with a thermo generator, it could convert heat into energy. The idea is that by putting the phone in your pocket, you will get a charge, so by our logic, putting it next to a radiator would give you a turbo-charge it!

Thunderbolt Port Added in Apple's new Laptop


Apple fans are holding their breath as we speak as they are waiting for the unraveling of the new 13 inch MacBook Pro. While some pictures have been leaked, thanks to Apple Insider, we managed to get our hands on a list of specs that will help you get an idea what this new Apple device is all about.
For this new laptop model, Apple has chosen a 2.3 GHz Core i5 processor and 4 GB of DDR3 that should go perfectly hand-in-hand in order to bring multi-tasking to a whole new level. The 320 GB of DD should provide enough storage memory for those interested in saving a lot of data on their hard disks. The 13.3 inch display will be capable of rendering a resolution of 1280 x 800 pixels but the video card is not exactly something to die for with the Intel HD Graphics 3000 and their 384 MB of shared video memory. With the FaceTime high-def camera, you can benefit from high quality images when video calling someone over the web.
People that mention this new Apple laptop also speak of a Thunderbolt connector which is capable of supporting High-Speed-E/A and MiniDisplay-Port devices. There is also an included FireWire port and also 2 USB slots (Apple’s laptops have never really been too keen on USB ports). As usual, the backlit keyboard is a feature also present on this new laptop as well.
Tomorrow, Apple is expected to launch its new line of MacBook Pros that are supposed to come with Intel’s high-speed Light Peak data connections and the famous Sandy Bridge processors. As the picture above suggests it, the presence of the „Thunderbolt” is certain and it will be a unique characteristics that Apple laptops have never used up until today. Let’s wait for the release of the new line and find out even more!
