Tag Heuer luxurious mobile phone is finally officially announced. The oddly named Tag Heuer Meridiist is a high-roller fashionable handset and a perfect match of the Swiss-made Tag Heuer timepieces.
The Tag Heuer Meridiist mobile phone is assembled from 430 components and constructed from corrosion-resistant, watch making 316L steel and has two unscratchable 60.5 carat sapphire crystal displays.
The Sony Ericsson P1i is an exciting new smartphone that is to undoubtedly reign in the current Sony Ericsson portfolio. Powered by Symbian OS and featuring a QWERTY keyboard, a touchscreen TFT display with QVGA resolution and a 3.2 megapixel camera with auto focus, it represents the next level of the development of UIQ smartphones. As such, it seems that the Sony Ericsson P1i will be the flagship of Sony Ericsson smartphone line overrunning even the Sony Ericsson P990 and we were more than curious to find out how it performed in real life.

The Nokia 5700 combines the look of the Nokia 5300 and the form of the Nokia 3250, but it has a lot more features than either of those two. So what’s it like?
RotateMe is the first of many applications in development by the French author Samir. RotateMe has been in development for the last few months and through the betas it has slowly improved, bugs have been fixed and new features have been added. The current beta (beta 7, for donators only) has reached the end of its development stage and will soon be submitted to Symbian for public signing, but if you can’t wait, you can download the publicly available (unsigned) beta 5 off Samir’s home page.
So it’s on to Google’s Java based GMail Client. Available as a free download at http://www.gmail.com/app/, there are a number of versions available depending on which mobile device you visit with – and by doing all the discovery client side, the mess of ‘choose the right version’ is something the end user doesn’t see, and makes for a very nice experience. Installation over the air takes a few clicks, and you’ll get the GMail icon on your desktop/application screen (or Google Mail if you’re in certain countries, for legal reasons).
Yahoo and Nokia have a good relationship, with a number of joint projects, so the continued support from Yahoo for their mobile phone client, Yahoo! Go, is welcome. Easily downloaded and installed, simply by pointing your smartphone browser at http://get.go.yahoo.com/, the java application provides a single icon to click on for a number of Yahoo services.
It seems that geo-tagging capabilities aren’t reserved only for the most recently announced Nokia handsets. The users of the Nokia N82 will be able to enjoy this feature as early as the first quarter of the year. This was promised when the phone was announced and it seems that the promise will be kept.
According to the S60 multimedia blog, the geo-tagging will be one of the benefits the new firmware for the phone will bring. At this stage there is no information about the other extras will be but as our experience shows these firmware updates are always welcome.
A beta application is available for download from the Nokia Beta Labs website. It is called Nokia Location Tagger and you can download it here.
Nokia’s Internet Radio was released from Nokia’s Beta Labs as Nokia World opened. On the face of it, this is a simple application, but as with most things, sometimes the simple things are the best.
The launch of Nokia’s Smart2go system marked a sea change in the way mapping and navigation worked, at least in terms of smartphones and handheld devices. Previously there had only been the two models - the traditional one, where you buy a memory card with all the maps on it, along with a license (enforced) to use it with one device - this solution typically would cost at least £70, or up to £200 when bundled with a Bluetooth GPS. The other solution was to simply have a small client application on the mobile device and load up routes, map segments and calculated directions over the Internet, usually by signing up (again for the one device) with the appropriate Internet service. In latter times, basic mapping and route planning have been free using this technique, with the likes of Google Maps.
