It looks like the Nokia N8, the top-end smartphone that’s being seen as the brand’s entry into the premium smartphone wars, will be available by the end of August. There have been leaks going around that point to an August 24th launch through UK’s Vodafone, and although the date is still “officially” unknown (since it hasn’t been confirmed by Nokia), Vodafone UK has already put up a product page that lists the N8 as “coming soon.”
Grace Digital Audio has just come out with the Eco Extreme All-Terrain MP3 Speaker, a portable speaker kit that’s built to survive the elements. Perfect for music-loving outdoorsy-types and for people who are just tired of hearing the usual sounds of bird songs and crickets on the trail.
This set isn’t just a pair of earbuds that you can wear while swimming. H20 Audio’s Surge Contact Waterproof Headset is a full headset that comes with an in-line microphone and one-touch button that’ll let you take (or make) a call while in the water.
This isn’t Thrustmaster’s first Ferrari-themed set, nor is it the most complete in terms of features if you compare it with other products out there, but it certainly has to count among the coolest. See, unlike the average racing wheel set, you don’t just get the wheel and pedals; you get a full “cockpit.” And it’s just not a cockpit, this set is designed to replicate—albeit on a smaller 7:10 scale—what you’d get in front of while sitting in a Ferrari F430 Scuderia. Not that we’d ever know the difference or the accuracy of this replica, mind you. We can’t remember the last time we drove our F430.
T-Mobile has just announced that the Garminfone, the dedicated GPS-smartphone built by Asus and Garmin, will be available on store shelves on June 9.
