Is Visual Radio a Nokia Innovation that Will Make a Difference?
Nokia will unveil its first mainstream flip phone and a music player next week, but industry observers said on Thursday the products would not inspire the ardor needed to claw back market share.
The world's top mobile phone maker plans events at its headquarters in Helsinki and in Asia, where it is expected to launch one or two fold-away phones, a music player without a phone keypad, a lightweight communicator model for business users and a small handset for third-generation wireless networks, mobile phone industry sources told

Mobile porn is a 'time bomb'
European mobile phone firms must act to ensure that adult content reaches only adults, a research company warns. Mobile operators face a backlash over adult content if they are unable to balance lucrative revenues with legitimate parental anxieties, according to a report from research company Current Analysis. The warning comes as visual advances in mobile handset technology have led to the widespread introduction of mobile devices capable of taking pictures, videos and watching short video clips and films.

Windows 95 makes it to Pocket PC
Thanks to Miracle and ceasar54 for writing in with the news that a member has got both Windows 95 and Windows 98 SE running on his Asus PPC.
This was made possible by a Pocket PC port of Bochs, by Mamaich, who has also ported DosBox, a "program similar to Bochs but it's a lot faster and only emulates DOS". Sadly, the author tried and failed to get WarLords II working on both these versions, but I'm sure time will tell!
If you're keen to try this on your own Pocket PC, you'll need a minimum of a 256MB memory card (or stream the image over a wireless network) and you'll need a program like Nyditot Virtual Display to increase your screen resolution. Oh, yes, and you'll also need the emulator.

Siemens SX1 smart phone
Siemens comes relatively late to the smart phone market. Its first handset of that type, the SX1, finally began shipping in the UK in March, despite being pitched by Siemens as the next big thing more than a year ago.
Back in 2003 when Siemens chiefs were telling Symbian developers what a difference the SX1 would be, it was only up against the imperfect Sony Ericsson P800, some clunky Nokias and Handspring's slow Treo 300. Since then, PalmOne/Handspring has shipped the impressive Treo 600 and Siemens' rivals in the mobile phone business, Nokia and Sony Ericsson, have shipped the 6600 and the P900, respectively.
