 | In an attempt to out RAZR the RAZR, Motorola has enlisted the services of Pininfarina - famed designers of Ferrari and Maserati sports cars, as well as influential designs such as the torch for the 2006 Torino Olympic Games - to design future handsets.
The deal runs from March 2006 to March 2009, with Pininfarina dedicating a team of ten designers to the project. This is not the first time Motorola has contracted the design firm, as the companies had a short-term agreement during 2004.
Pininfarina would not disclose the value of the deal, but has mentioned that mobile handset design now makes up 30% of its business after only two years of working with the devices.

 | Nokia which prides itself on having all the essential features that may be required by users surprisingly always lacked GPS in most of its handsets. In an attempt to do justice to all of the earlier phones, they have now come out with a GPS module which is compatible with most of their Bluetooth based handsets.
"Location based services, such as navigation and point-of-interest search for hotels and restaurants are becoming increasingly popular with consumers," says Aage Snorgaard, Senior Vice President, Mobile Phones, Nokia. "With the introduction of the Nokia GPS Module LD-3W and through our collaborations with navigation industry players such as Wayfinder and Telmap, we offer a compelling range of location based services to the tens of millions of consumers who have one of our highly popular mid-range models, such as the Nokia 6230i or the Nokia 6280."

 | NVIDIA today has announced a new addition to its GoForce family of mobility GPUs called the GoForce 5500. Aimed squarely at gamers on the move, the GoForce 5500 brings advanced features that were previously unavailable to the handheld market. Besting even ATI's top Imageon processors, the GoForce 5500 delivers features not found anywhere else.
The company says that with the GoForce 5500, gamers can experience Quake 3 equal to that of the original PlayStation and even display high-definition resolution (1024x768) on a device such as a cell phone. Considering that most mainstream phones don't even produce resolutions over 320x240, this is an indication that future cell phones will be able to produce images and quality equal to or better than that of Sony's PSP. |

| | Chipmaker Royal Philips Electronics confirmed that a U.S. cellular carrier will launch voice-over-Wi-Fi technology this year, based on Philips' new Nexperia 6120 chipset. Callers should be able to make calls on their home Wi-Fi networks for "a couple of bucks a month, flat rate," according to Philips' Carsten Schimanke.
The Nexperia 6120 chipset is in the Samsung SGH-T709 phone, Schimanke said. We saw the T709 at CES, and it's a slender, attractive slider phone. The solution uses Philips' BGW211 802.11g WLAN chipset, according to the company. The chipset adds about $12 to the price of a phone, Schimanke said. | |

It looks like Samsung is taking fuel cells seriously and has decided to make it a mainstream product by using it in Personal Digital Assistants and Portable Media Players. We heard about Fuel Cells for a while now and even though some attempt have been made to use it in cell phones and laptops, the result was often time chunky and not always lot more efficient than Lithium Ion batteries. Battery life is the main thing holding mobile computing back and we can only hope that Samsung will succeed where so many others have failed.

Just like the Anti-virus companies predicted, with the increasing importance of mobile phones and PDA's more and more malicious code writers are turning their attention to writing code for these devices. Makes us wonder in fact if there is any credit to the old rumour of the same firms churning out virii to keep the company going.

| Sega, the company that we all love , no make that adore, for its superb games has stepped into the arena of cell phones. Of course making a cell phone from scratch is no laughing matter and Sega despite their strength recognise this. Accordingly, they have tied up with NTT DoCoMo to come out with this kiddie phone - The SA800i. The clamshell design has been given bright vibrant colors to make it attractive and pleasing to the eye. Of course being a Sega handset, it would just not be fair if it did not have any games. Not the usual fancy stuff that we come aross in any cell phone will do either, it has to be quality stuff from the house of Sega. Its difficult to make out the names in Japanese, but its clear that these are quality arcade games. The menu is specially designed for kids too, easy to use. |  |
