Believe it or not Lenovo makes cellphones, too — they just happen to be crappy ones you probably didn’t pay much attention to since they were mostly targeted at the Chinese market. Like many before it, the company is getting out of the absurdly competitive handset market by selling its cellphone group to private equity firm Hony Capital (that’s Hony, not Sony) for a cool $100m

Indeed it is true, Lenovo does make cell phones now, and they are the 3rd largest company that makes both Cell phones and computers, according to the Wall Street Journal anyways. But, its completely true that the Lenovo company has no idea how to model all of their laptops and such. Same with the phone, the Lenovo has a distinct “I”M A LENOVO” model look.

Not to bash on the IMB-LENOVO company right now, but they just don’t make their laptops look good at all, and I don’t know how they are the top of the business line by doing this, but they are. (It’s probably because most big companies buy the high end laptops for their employees, which are actually worth the money) Lenovo just needs to take a step out there and make their stuff look good, or else, they will eventually go down.

As engadget says above, the reason why we don’t see the Lenovo phones here are because they are not really that big here, but the Hony Capital in China is more than willing to pay 100 million for those production line phones. Now, I haven’t been to China to see if that is true, nor am I planning to go see if its true, but I believe we can trust Engadget is not making this up to fool those of us in the US.

But just to make sure, if you do live in China, and see the Lenovo phones a lot, feel free to discuss it in the comment box.
And just like always comments are welcomed and appreciated

In higher hopes though, I might have a story that is going to get a little interest out of you considering you are either viewing this page through a Mac or an Microsoft operating system.

Taking a little personal role to this technology site, it might interest you to know that Macs are a lot more expensive than Microsoft.

Anyways here I was sitting in my college class learning about the latent learning of psychology, where suddenly the teachers as who in the class has a Mac. Almost half the kids raised their hands. Next, the teachers asked, who in the class would consider themselves in the lower class.

(here comes the good part)

Seven eighths of the people who had their hands raised for having Macs considered themselves to be in the lower class.

I thought to myself, what in the world is going on when kids in the lower class can afford to buy the most expensive laptops.

So, that just made me think, just because you pay more for your operating system doesn’t necessarily mean that you should be paying more for it. While I don’t want to get into the argument of why XP or VISTA are better than Macs, I should tell you that they are less expensive, and if you are looking for really extremely cheap, then maybe typing in the worlds “Asus EEE PC” into google would be a good start for you.

It may be just that laser lights are cool simply because they notion that futuristic style of living. I have seen many lasers lights in my lifetime, but have never trounced upon to see one that is green, and you could see the beam of light it was projecting towards, until I heard about this laser.

After youtube-ing for the laser in its use several times, I found these videos which made me realize exactly how powerful this type of laser was. But before I do that, let me show you some pictures of the miracle in its casing.

Introducing the 95mW (green.)

Apparently, this type of laser has to be taken great use of because it comes with a Laser Glass protection glasses. I don’t think this would be the perfect thing to teach a chemistry class in a big lecture hall with. If mis-used, you could burn someone’s retina horribly.

Here is one more picture which shows you the beam of light that the laser produces when in use.

And finally, here is the youtube video that is so spectacular that is a must-see. If you are not amazed by this video, then you have obviously seen it before.

Unable to find the lowest price on ebay leads me to think that this is a very rare object, and can only be bought outside the US. I”m not quite sure where it is made, but by the looks of it, I would assume that it is over 30$ USD.

Anyways, I hope you enjoyed the post here at MobilityWatch. If you have never seen a pen that can last for 25 years, you might want to check this out.

The gorgeous colour screen is covered with tempered glass, and the 3-megapixel camera features image stabilisation, an LED flash and red-eye reduction. It’ll also play your MP3s and the whole lot’s just 10.9mm thick.

(says the following link

In light of the fast approaching Mobile World Congress in Barcelona, LG has unveiled the new model: LG-KF510. The LG-KF510 has LG’s new Interactive Touch Lighting technology. Meaning, depending on how the user touches the phone, the LEDs might change appearance. The camera phone, LG-KF510, measuring 10.9mm in depth, and will be available in the colors: Full Metal Frame, Stardust, Dark Gray Color, and Red Sunset. The model will be presented in the Mobile World Congress ‘08 in Barcelona.

(or says this link )

Well, take a look at the beautiful girls up there Yes, quite spectacular are the phones which they hold as well as the packages they have. THe LG phones are cute as the girls that the phones are being held by, what a coincidence right? Nope, its all about the advertisement issue right there. See, the more hot girls you get to hold your phone smiling, the more you will sell. Quite similar to what Apple does right? (well, close enough… )

Stardust Dark Gray or Sunset Red What a beautiful set of colors to choose from right? Well, maybe they should include a vibrant yellow, or even a Sky Blue Blue. Well, anyways, this phone is come to release in March of this year, although we are not sure the price range of the phone just yet. Regardless to say, we can all assume that the cost of the phone will be less than the cost of the iPhone, but definitely over $100.

These days, its not really that we need our phones to do things such as go on the internet, holds a ton of GB of songs, and play video, its just that we, rather, want them to do this kind of extra gadget-ry things.

So, as general advice, save your money for something that you do really need instead of things that you don’t really need, and be sure to keep in mind that never buy an Apple product no matter how much it seems like its a really good technology, because, to be honest, its not that far out there, in fact, there are so many companies that are better than Apple that you just have not heard of.

Are you blind? Well, of course, you aren’t, but if you know anybody that is, you can see the way that the struggle in life. Unable to drive cars, maintain proper jobs, or even get into a meaningful relationship is a hard way in life.

Well, that is how it seems to us if we were to lose our eye sight. The thing is that if someone is born blind, then they will never feel less happy than us, nor will they seem depressed about it ever. Think of it like this: Imagine someone describe to you something that you cannot relate to, or even measure to fathom.

Its a pretty simple concept: you just don’t understand what you don’t know about. And sometimes it fears us. Thats a major consistency with humans, we fear what we don’t know.

The only difference between us and blind people is that they are less fortunate because we CAN see. Imagine a world where everyone was blind, life would be completely different than it is today, yet, nevertheless, we would still be striving, and not a single person would be less happy than they are now.

The point is that what if a person who was blind, or who got blind through their life, could regain their ability to see. Thanks to technology, this is close to being possible.

Thanks to some well performed researchers in some institute of Germany (I’m lazy to type out the words but don’t worry I have it linked) have conjured a cornea that will replace the cornea of blind people, and once regain their ability to see.

Its days such as these where I think that technology stands out the most when it is being put to commercial and beneficial use. Now if only our economy worked that way.

Well, thats our insight here today at 451Press’s Mobility Watch. If you have any comments, please feel free to leave a message. (Any are most welcome and grandly appreciated)

Just as the name suggests, here is a spy tie that will let you capture video for about upto one hour. Think of all the possibilities of the tie. One could go to an interview with the tie on and record the interview.

Later he or she could come back to see the interview again to predict whether or not he or she will get hired. Amazing right?

Or maybe you are just a spy like Tom Cruise, and need something to capture video on the spot whenever it happens, but maybe you just don’t want to be suspicious by getting out your camera and start recording. Well, here is something that could essentially help you.

One scenario, that I think could really help with this is scoping out the women. Guys, I know you do it, and even women know you do it. (Thats why they make their best attempt to look good, duh:!: ) haha.

But, imagine you spot this enchantingly beautiful girl, HIT RECORD, and quick because she will most likely not stay for long. Yes it is stalking, but then again, that is the same reason why the call this product the Spy Tie.

Some of the negatives of this tie, though, are its cost. At a astounding $1,268, the tie is priced among one the most expensive ties made.

But, you would assume that the image quality would be bad, but is actually not. It captures images at 768 by 495 pixels. It comes with a 2.4 inch. screen to view the image.

Men, don’t worry about it. :P

Anyways, the topic of discussion today is the new technology of Wi-Fire. Have you ever experienced a low signal on your mobile laptop notebook while surfing through the internet?

Have you ever been in that one spot where you lost Internet connection, and had to go through the process of collecting your belongings to move again to another spot?

Well, with the new device in hand, you no longer have to do so.

Wi-Fire is a range-extending USB device that will receive Internet signals as far as 1,000 Feet! That is approximately 3 times as far as your notebook can receive signals now.

Technically, you could not have to actually pay for internet with this device. Imagine if your neighbor had his internet free of access. So, that means that you can access his internet, but the only problem is that you receive a weak signal and therefore can only access the internet at random times.

But, if you have the Wi-Fire, you can use your neighbors internet as if it were your own, and also at no cost at all.

If you are a college student, this can come to you handily because you are always moving around and are in need of the internet. (not only because it is the popular thing to do now, but also because it is what you play your online games on, and connect to your friends and family.)

So, here are a few images of the Wi-Fire USB range extender. Check it. and Digg it.

Right now, I’m sitting on a 350 GB hard drive, and I have another external 100 GB hard drive for my reckless use.

Before I tell you about this disc with 3 Terabytes, I need to help you put it into perspective of everyday real life use.

A Dual-Layered DVD has approximately 8.5 GB, this in comparative to a regular DVD holds twice as much. A regular DVD-ROM contains nearly 4.7 GB. A regular compact disc contains 700 MB, that is almost 1/5 of a DVD-ROM.

I dont want to forget the other types of DVD’s out there right now. First of all there is the HD DVD, which holds up to 15 GB(Single layer) and 30GB(Dual Layer) and 51 GB(Triple Layer) If you count up the space on these discs, you will almost get 3/4 of the average hard drive on a computer.

As sad as it is, there is another format that rivals HD DVD called Blu-Ray High Definition. Such a disc can hold 25 GB (Single layer) and 50 GB (Dual Layer.) Which ever one you pick for your movie convenience is up to you, but as of now, it looks like Blu-Ray is going to make more money that HD DVD.

Anyways, back to this compact disc that may be able to hold 3 terabytes. This disc will be able to blow everything that we currently have out of the water.

How the disc works is dependent on the type of laser used to inscribe the disc. A regular disc uses 780 nanometer wavelength, whereas a dvd uses 650 nm, and HD DVD and Blu-Ray both use 405 nanometer.

The future disc will be able to use a 40 nanometer wavelength, thus the memory capacity of 3 Terabytes. Obviously, such technology is not out just yet, but when it is, it will be in your hands for your mobile use everyday. (estimate time: LONG LONG TIME)

Anyways, now that you know how these things work, and what is up for our future, you can keep a lookout for it. But by then, you can see how a match catches on fire with a everyday laser.

Next to the XPERIA X1, the W980 has to be our favorite set launched by Sony Ericsson at the show. Between the stellar external display, that cool transparent accent on the front of the flip, and the FM radio that works without having to attach a headset — talk about a fantastic idea that was a long time coming — it is a stylish thing. Though, those with greasy faces beware, the W980 loves fingerprints, a lot. Oh, and as an added bonus, there’s a bit of extra tactile fun when hitting those external buttons by way of some vibration feedback. Job well done Sony Ericsson, this thing’s the berries.

Phones, Phones, Phones, Phones, and Phones. Thats what its all about these days. What does your phone have? Oh yeah? Well, you could surf the internet with mine while listening to music. What now? Well, for all you phone addicts out there, take this, I have the simplest NOKIA phone ever, and it runs absolutely perfect. It makes calls, recieves calls, and you can even play music on it.

At Engadget you will see that the phone has a really sick flip up. At first, when you are looking at it, it seems as if the whole screen is just open, but no:!: There is actually a lid on the can When you flip it up, it cares for the nice and slick interior of the phone which may or may not flip your switch, but hey I’ll bet you anything you’d love to have the phone in your hands faster than a child wants candy.

With the cool exterior music controls, its not a hassle to switch your music, no need to carry through with the functions of opening your phone up to switch to a song, or even to turn it off. Maybe someone should mention the versatality this phone has, its definitely smaller than the iPhone, and it even looks like you could fit it into your hands twice.

With this marvel, its not a wonder people are already drooling over the phone’s fantastic glossy finish.
