Hugo Boss is the latest fashion house to introduce a mobile phone, following in the footsteps of Prada and Giorgio Armani. Hugo Boss has teamed up with Samsung to introduce their new phone. The new Hugo Boss Samsung phone will be based off the F480 TouchWiz handset.

The specs of the Samsung Hugo Boss will be similar to the F480 phone and will include a 5 megapixel camera, 2.8 inch touchscreen, and 3G/HSDPA connectivity.

New HTC Touch HD Raises Bar For Mobile Internet and Entertainment

Google Earth in iPhone

Written by ImagesLab.net on Saturday, November 08, 2008

Google released an iPhone version of their highly popular desktop application Google Earth. Not only can you roam the virtual Earth viewing satellite imagery but you can also view selected terrains in 3D just by tilting your iPhone. The iPhone OpenGL graphics seems well suited for an intensive application like Google Earth. Dam cool huh ...

The new Google Earth application can be download straight to your iPhone (2G or 3G) via the Apple AppStore for free. You can use this link (opens iTunes if you have it installed).

When you start off the App you will see the 3D Earth from space. To zoom in just double tap or use the well-known iPhone gesture. You can drag the virtual map with finger swipes just as easily as you would on the native Google Maps application. This time however you can rotate the map as you like by twisting two fingers on screen. I hope I owned an iPhone now.

You can pinpoint your location using either GPS or cell tower triangulation. You can also search places in general or ones near your location. And finally you can always realign your map to point to North by clicking on the compass in the top right corner.

The nice thing about Google Earth (and what makes it better than Maps) is that it's loaded with information - geotagged photos from Panoramio and text articles from Wikipedia. If there are any of those available for the location you are looking at, you'll see small clickable icons on screen.

Using the 3D mode is as easy as it gets. If you use Google Earth with the iPhone parallel to the ground, just lift it up in portrait position and you'll see the virtual horizon and hopefully some 3D terrain (not available at all places).

LG KS500 Preview

Written by ImagesLab.net on Thursday, November 06, 2008

The latest LG KS500 is one of those handsets that won't get your attention on first look but it packs quite a punch under its unassuming looks. The nifty slider boasts a 3 megapixel camera, a QVGA display, a GPS receiver with Yahoo! Go maps application and quite possibly an affordable price tag.

Contrary to many of the online rumors, which spawned when the device was first leaked through the US FCC website, it's now finally clear that LG KS500 is not a smartphone.

The LG KS500 is a tri-band GSM phone which offers dual-band UMTS/HSDPA support. Measuring 102.8 x 49.2 x 14.9 mm doesn't really make it the most compact chap on the block, but still it's nothing too big.

The KS500 has a 262K color display of QVGA resolution, a 3 megapixel fixed focus camera (sad, we know), 100MB of built-in memory and a microSD card with support for an addition 8GB.

Although it doesn't sound ground-breaking by any means, you might be interested to know that the LG KS500 is the first handset by the South Korean company to feature an optical touchpad. It helps navigation through the menus or the web browser.

Unlike similar Samsung solutions, with the KS500 you can opt for turning off the optical trackpad in the menus, but leaving it on for an extra sweet experience in the web browser, which we guess will be the mouse-enabled NetFront 3.4 variety.

And finally, the LG KS500 brings GPS connectivity with A-GPS support. Yahoo! Go maps and location services application is preinstalled on board to make finding your way around that much easier. Of course, you can always add Google Maps for Mobile if you wish.

We don't know much on the projected availability or pricing of the LG KS500, but judging on the Vodafone brand on the official photos, you will be able to find it through Vodafone networks, so a nice, subsidized price seems a fair guess.

Nokia Games Publishing has been creating unique made-for-mobile games for many years and the latest game coming exclusively to N-Gage in 2009 is Dance Fabulous.
