on the same day, 3g iphone was announced, a flickr page leaked pos of three new nseries phones from nokia. the 5800 xpressmedia, also known as “tube” we’ve already heard about. with this leakage, the first s60 touch phone is as good as confirmed. vodafone, according to the spy ss will be distributing the phone, at least in europe. at the back of the 5800 is a 3.2 mp carl zeiss lens.
two other phones, the n79 and the n85 make their first appearance. the n85 looks like a smaller n96. specs include a 5 mp camera and gps with geotagging. don;t expect nokia to pull the punches now in the nseries after the 3g iphone announcet.
the n79 reminds me of the n81 but much softened up with flat keys and a softer overall appearance. we know next to nothing about this phone. the question is, with a $199 3g iphone out in the market, how cheap is nokia going to price its new high-end phones?

singing with thermaltake

one party that we always look forward to during computex is the thermaltake party. the g reason for that is because thermaltake has the coolest ceo in the world.
kenny lin, aka the singing ceo, founded thermaltake in 1999 in his garage and grew the company into a world wide brand. the company had a successful ipo last year, allowing kenny to expand the company even more.
kenny is like a breath of fresh air. asia can be a very cl divided society. bosses are very stuck up and feel they need to separate themselves from their employees. not kenny. he likes to party with all his staff and no matter what level they are at the company, they call him kenny and not mr. lin. to top it all off, he?s a pretty good singer.
for most western readers, the thermaltake party may look pretty strange but it is the most fun of computex. they had a huge spread of food, beer, johnny walker, music, prizes and lots of singing.
