  1. Nokia 6650 by leijona · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Nokia has announced yesterday a new camera phone with ability to record video (and sound) clips, up to 7MB in size [http://www.nokia.com/6650_event/index.html]. It is WCDMA (that's why external antennae, btw) and is capable of (at least) 128kb/s transfer rate in 3G network. It works in GSM networks too, of course, achieving very agreeable transfer rates using GPRS.

    Of course, it supports MMS, polyphonic ringing tones, Bluetooth and what-have-you. Large color screen, hefty weight and unbelievable stand-by time.

    Do you notice, btw, that phones grow bigger in size nowsdays?

    to a realistic portable personal concealable full
    motion video device. I can't wait. Especially
    when the video is automatically shot through the
    air to somewhere else and can't be taken away,
    destroyed, etc. So many good uses:

    #1 When your girlfriend calls you a liar about
    where you've been

    #2 When the cop lies about what he said and did
    in traffic court

    #3 When your boss tries to take credit for
    something you did

    #4 When that coworker gets fitshaced at the
    office party

    #5 etc.

    You get the idea.
