The Nokia N96 redefines "high-end"

Rumored for a few weeks now as the N95's successor in waiting, the mighty N96 dual slider has gone all official at the Mobile World Congress that it is definitely reaching the market very soon. Though the phone it replaces is still a beast by any measure, the N96 pushes the envelope further by packing a solid 16GB of storage internally in addition to a micro-SD slot, something the N95 8GB lacks. The 5 megapixel autofocus camera with Carl Zeiss Tessar lens carries over, but there are now two LEDs doing flash and video light duty. The 2.8 inch QVGA display will come in handy for the integrated DVB-H mobile TV tuner, while a 3.5mm headphone jack, A2DP, and integrated stereo speakers should handle audio with aplomb.

Other features include WiFi, AGPS, and morphing lights on the smaller second slide that hook the user up with game controls when it's time to relax with a little N-Gage action. Unfortunately, the first version of the N96 (and the only version announced thus far) supports HSDPA only on the 900 and 2100MHz bands, but we imagine the strength of the spec sheet should still be enough to sell a few of these stateside when it launches in the third quarter for €550 (about $797 or close to Php40,000).

Some high-tech gifts for Mom on Mother's Day 2008

Flowers, chocolates, a greeting card? Sure... but tech-minded kids may want something a little more with the '00s to give to mom this year. Here are some hot ideas for computer savvy sons and daughters to consider as gifts for Mother's Day. (Reminder: It's May 11th!)

Kodak ESP3 All-in-One Printer

What does mom do with all the pictures you send her? She prints them out on a lousy old inkjet and waits for them to shrivel up and fade. Get her a real printer that can make her kids and grandkids look good: Kodak's ESP3 uses far less ink than other printers and those cartridges are cheap (at $10, for B&W, or $15, for color). Better still: It includes a blemish reduction mode to automatically smooth out wrinkles and other imperfections as it prints, no graphical tinkering required.

Thirsty Lights

If mom's got a green thumb, you can't go wrong with these cool gadgets, which I reviewed a few month's back. Thirsty Lights sit in mom's potted plants and flash when the greens need water. These things have the bonus feature of being completely non-technologically-threatening, so if mom can open up the package, she should be fine with them even if she's a total Luddite. We swear by them now at Null HQ.

Digital Keychain

These pocket-sized digital frames used to be bulky, ugly, and have virtually invisible screens. New models are better, and they're dirt cheap. Digital Foci's Pocket Album has a 1.5-inch screen, nine hours of battery life, and holds over 70 pictures. Oh, and it looks pretty good, too, even when it's off!

HALO Ultraviolet Vacuum

Not for every mom (lots of mothers don't appreciate gifts that imply they're slobs, after all), but if she's the kind that's always wrestling with her old vacuum and complaining about the filthy house, the HALO is a cool way to indulge both your neatnik side and your techie side at once. It's not just a light and a powerful vacuum, it also features a strong ultraviolet light underneath that kills any viruses and germs the light happens to hit. Even flea eggs get killed by the thing.

A Book of Mom's Own

If you're willing to put a little work into, a printed photo album is a very thoughtful and personal gift that any mother will break into tears over. Lulu lets you upload photos and create photo books (in hardcover or paperback) with a minimum of fuss. The real effort is in wittling down your gargantuan photo collection into something more manageable. Hardcover books run a mere $26 for the first 20 pages.

iWaveCube Tiny Microwave

It's the world's smallest microwave oven, about one cubic foot in size. Perfect for the spare room or mom's office if she's a microwave popcorn junkie or is always looking for a quick reheat on her coffee or tea.

Online Meetings and Conferences

Web meetings are becoming more popular all the time as an easier way to demonstrate a product, service, or simply provide a presentation without the travel. Documents can also be shared in a colaborative way as well. The presentor can give control to another individual at another location to control the presentation, make changes, modifications, and provide their desktop for view. It is also possible to have multiple people attend a web meeting from different locations.

Equipment

In the past you had to visit a conference center and your participants had to as well. The cost could very well be prohibitive. The typical online conference is much easier and can take place in a variety of ways. Some will present online and speak over the phone. In many cases the audio can also be captured and sent over the Internet, and now video is becoming as prevelant. The microphone can be the one provided with your computer or a simple USB device. The video camera may also be the one provided with your computer or again a simple USB device.

More Uses

Not only are video conferences and online meetings used for corporate purposes but can also be effective in the education sector.
