Nokia N95

It seems Nokia is into seriously turning mobiles into high-tech gadgets that will have almost everything inside it. With N93, they have made a cell phone into a camcorder by giving DVD-quality video recording capability. Not surprisingly, they have carried forward that feature in N95. Design-wise, N95 is quite different from N9* series phones. This one has a slider instead of a flap, which makes its design more robust as other Nokia phones.

Nokia N95 runs on Series 60 3rd edition. It has a 5.0 Mega Pixel camera using the Carl Zeiss lens. The camera has other features like auto focus, built-in flash, and a mechanical shutter. Well, that makes it a complete digital camera, huh!!! That's not it! It also has facility for video conferencing. It uses a VGA camera for the same.

N95 comes with a 4 GB hard-disk. And it has a expandable memory slot. It uses the micro card for storage. That's quite some storage for a mobile phone.

It has a 352 x 412 pixel display with 16 million colors. It uses Bluetooth 2.0. It also has a MP3 and AAC playback facility. It supports triband.

The phone is expected to be released in the first quarter of 2007. So, till then... let's wait and watch!!!

Torpark :: The portable/anonymous Firefox

Presenting... yet another browser!!! But this is just not "yet" another browser. This is certainly Old Wine in New Bottle, but this new Bottle has lots of features along with the reliable wine (Firefox). So, lets see what are the pros and cons of Torpark — the browser that may make surfing a whole new experience...

Torpark is based on Firefox. This means that it will have everything that Firefox 1.5 has. Apart from that, it comes in with two unique features:- Portability and Anonymity.

Portability: Torpark need not be installed on your machine before you use it. All you need is the files and that's. It runs without any problems. It can even run from your USB pen drive. That makes it "literally" portable. The only problem is that it can't run from a CD/DVD. Every time you open Torpark, it amends some of its files. ThThat'she reason why we need a writable medium for storage.

Anonymity: The browser is completely anonymous while you surf. It means that no one would know that "you", as in someone from your IP address has/had visited a site. You can test that my checking it out yourself. Visit http://www.whatismyip.com. First visit it from Internet Explorer/Firefox, and note the IP Address. And now visit the same site from Torpark. You'll find a new IP address... That's the beauty of the browser.

Speed: The speed of surfing is far slower as compared to a normal browser. This is because every request is routed through another IP, and that creates the delay.

The browser is at a very primitive stage right now. Lots of improvements are required. If the browser stays in the market without getting into any legal hassles, it could be one of the best browsers !!!
