Nokia N96 phone

Rumored for a few weeks now as the N95's successor in waiting, the mighty N96 dual slider has gone all official on us at Mobile World Congress today. Though the phone it replaces is still a beast by any measure, the N96 pushes the envelope further by packing a solid 16GB of storage internally in addition to a microSD slot, something the N95 8GB lacks. The 5 megapixel autofocus camera with Carl Zeiss Tessar lens carries over, but there are now two LEDs doing flash and video light duty. The 2.8 inch QVGA display will come in handy for the integrated DVB-H mobile TV tuner, while a 3.5mm headphone jack, A2DP, and integrated stereo speakers should handle audio with aplomb. Other features include WiFi, AGPS, and morphing lights on the smaller second slide that hook the user up with game controls when it's time to relax with a little N-Gage action. Unfortunately, the first version of the N96 (and the only version announced thus far) supports HSDPA only on the 900 and 2100MHz bands, but we imagine the strength of the spec sheet should still be enough to sell a few of these stateside when it launches in the third quarter for €550 (about $797).

$16,000 PC expencive pc

If not the most expensive computer, it certainly is one of the most expensive computers in this world. The $16,000 Water Cooled PC is an awesome machine that comes with unique cooling abilities. The computer has been built by Puget Systems and you would get a PC with a 4 quad core Opteron processors, 32Gb of RAM, and 8 hard disks.

It also has a massive radiator that not only is worth its weight in might but is also quite effective. It comes with 9 120mm fans, to keep the awesome machine cooled and chilled. The fans are almost silent and they manage to keep the PC at 45 degrees when the computer is working full load. When it is idle, it would be a cooler 36 degrees.

Nokia

The were rumors, and there were pictures, but now Nokia's Supernova series is finally official! These latest phones will slot in as Nokia's new mid-range fashion phones. There are a total of 4 phones announced at the moment, the 7210, 7310, 7510, and 7610. The 7210 and 7310 are candybars, the 7510 a flip phone and the 7610 is a slider.

The 7210 is a tri-band GSM phone with EDGE, along with a 2 megapixel camera and FM radio, set to launch in Q3 for around $189.

The 7310 is much like the 7210, but supports Nokia's Xpress-On faceplates, TV-out as well as support for GSM 850. These additional features add another $55 to the cost of the phone, which surprisingly, is available now.

The 7510 sports the ever-popular flip design, and will have similar specs to the 7310, and is scheduled for Q4 at around $283 and in colors such as “Fatal Red”.

And last, but certainly not least, the 7610 features a slider design, along with a juicy 3.2 megapixel camera, and is scheduled for next quarter at $354.

Dell M2010-Dell laptops

With the XPS M2010, Dell has forgotten completely why laptops were invented in the first place. And that's a good thing--or at least an interesting thing. The company has packed an impressive multimedia experience into a form factor that's far more portable and self-contained than any other desktop PC's and considerably less compromised than that of other laptops that make do with smaller displays, cramped keyboards, and minimized feature sets. Unfortunately, with a base price of $3,500, the XPS M2010 is also about as expensive as a semester at a state college; the target market here is clearly those for whom money is no object. Something between an all-in-one desktop PC and a proper laptop, the XPS M2010 accommodates a fold-out 20-inch display, a detachable Bluetooth keyboard, a premium set of components, and most of the trappings of a modern Media Center PC, including an impressive sound system; a pop-up, slot-loading DVD player; and an integrated video camera and microphone for videoconferencing

microsoft keyboard style

Like Scott Hanselman, I view the mouse as an optional computer accessory*. Manly coders love the smell of compilation in the morning and we know that speed = keyboard. A mouse? C'mon. That's so teenage girls can pick emoticons in AOL Instant Messenger. And for flash "developers". Us tough guy software developers know that if it doesn't have a keyboard shortcut, it's not worth doing.

All kidding aside, there's a disappointing lack of keyboard choice for software developers. Here's a typical example:

We make heavy use of the PgUp, PgDn, Home, End, Ins, Del key cluster, and that's the one area of the keyboard that is almost always mangled beyond recognition on today's "cool" keyboards. And what marketing weasel decided it was a good idea to default map the F1-F12 keys to hip new internet functions? I cry for a world where F5 is "open email" instead of refresh/run. On some keyboards, the mangling is so profound that the arrow keys are no longer arranged in an inverted T. Sacrilege!

I'm actually doubly-screwed, because I prefer ergonomic "split" designs. Once I narrow down the list of choices to ergonomic keyboards that also have standard arrow and PgUp/PgDn layouts, I have a whopping total of maybe two keyboards to choose from. And they're both ugly taiwanese knockoffs.

Here are a few keyboards I've considered, and rejected:

• Logitech DiNovo (way pricey, mangled)
• Microsoft Digital Media Pro (not ergo)
• Logitech Elite (not ergo)
• Logitech Ultra X (laptop style keyfeel)
• Belkin ErgoBoard (uglytastic)

Some people swear by certain "classic" soviet-era 10-pound keyboards, but for now, I'm sticking with my discontinued Microsoft Natural Keyboard Pro^tm. No mangling, ergonomic split design, and even two built in USB ports. Which reminds me: why has USB hub functionality fallen so far out of favor on today's keyboards? It's incredibly handy for memory sticks or quickly hooking up a camera to download a quick photo or two.

I'm curious what everyone else's feelings are on this topic:

• What keyboard areas are "sacred" to you, as a developer?
• How important are the extra multimedia functions such as sleep, calculator, scrollwheel, volume control, etc? Do you use this stuff frequently? Rarely? Never?
• Does it really matter if your keyboard is wireless?
• Does an ergonomic layout help?
• What keyboard(s) do you recommend, and why?

* Not a complete exaggeration. For example, when setting up the MAME Cocktail system, I had no mouse for a solid week, and I was surprised how little difference there is between keyboard (assuming you know all the magic hotkeys, like SHIFT+F10, and how to tab through to the desktop) and mouse usage in Windows XP. What is aggravating is running into non-Microsoft designed dialogs that have screwed up tab order, or worse yet, areas that are physically impossible to navigate to without the mouse.
