Sweet Looking Nokia N95
31 January 2007 in Phones | Comments (0)
The Symbian fans at All About Symbian have gotten their lucky hands on a Nokia N95 and released the first impressions.
I must say, that the N95 is looking sweet: 5 MP camera, WiFi b/g, Bluetooth 2.0, USB, Infrared,GSM, WCDMA, HSDPA, integrated GPS with routing software, 150MB of internal memory and a 3.5 mm audio jack. In other words, holy macaroni! 
The camera looks to be having a sligt bluish tint on some of the outdoor pictures, but that might be because the weather is a bit overcast? The noise in the 5 megapixel shots is quite high, but that might be because you have so much crammed into so little (space). (And it is nothing a little median filter pass would fix) But, the 5 MP camera is still so much better than the 2 and 3 megapixel integrated cameras I’ve seen.
As the Engadget Mobile guys put it: “Let’s hit up the good based on AAS’s touchy-feely on the N95 — very good-sounding stereo speakers built into the sides, a diet form factor compared to previous N-series units, every wire-free connectivity option you could ever need, and a 5 Megapixel cam with Zeiss optics and even VGA video capture — what’s not to love?” (Emphasis added by me) Yeah, what is there not to love?
Gah, I need to keep my fingers away from the order button on this one! The order force is strong. 
Windows Vista Update Can’t Count

Since I enabled Windows Update to be using Microsoft Update (a-ha! spot the difference! :P) the Windows Update has lost the ability to tell the total number of updates pending…
Now, ok, this is a small bug, but I wonder why it even should be so hard to get the count of updates pending, even when it is just one waiting in the queue.
(Oh, boy, here comes the Microsoft jokes?)
