House of Nokia: New Sseries and Nokia N9 MeeGo phone Confirmed? 7 top limit of C, E, and X phones.
Hmm…this house has no windows or doors (ovi) Today it appears that the New S series has been confirmed as well as the Nokia N9. N9 by common sense was already known when Nokia mentioned their new naming conventions of single letter 1-9 handsets – 9 being the highest – though never explicitly confirming N9. N9 will therefore be Nokia’s Flagship, and first Nokia MeeGo device that will push the extremes of high end for Nokia. Check out this interview with Alberto Torres, Nokia EVP,MeeGo Computers ..

Dog-e-Minder Pet Assistant for Dog Owners Review
If you own a dog, you have to incorporate his schedule into the family’s schedule. Every day, you have to make sure your dog is walked at least a few times and fed a couple of times each day. If your dog requires it, you may also have to give him medicine. If you are the only one handling the care of your dog, you may have an easy time remembering to do everything. If you tend to be forgetful or if you have other family members or pet walkers also caring for your dog, you may need to log who did what and when so that Fido doesn’t end up getting fed three times and never walked during the day. You could have a paper log, but that’s an extra step that sometimes gets ignored – and it’s SO non-gadgety! When Julie told me about the Dog-e-Minder – a little computer that your dog wears on his collar – I asked if I could try it out with my dog, Teddy. … [ visit site to read more ] Filed in categories: Pet Gadgets , Reviews Tagged: Activity tracker , ID tag Dog-e-Minder Pet Assistant for Dog Owners Review originally appeared on The Gadgeteer on June 8, 2010 at 3:00 pm

For instance, RIM has dropped a new major model in each of the past three years, and we’ll likely see a further Bold update, beyond the 9650, before 2010 is over. RIM has also been quick on the software upgrades, pushing out OS 4.5, then 5.0, and soon 6.0 in a relatively short span.
