LG Electronics announced today that it would launch the LG-KC910, a 8 megapixel multimedia phone with a full touchscreen interface. The LG-KC910 boasts top-of-the-range camera capabilities and the latest multimedia features, all combined with a 3.0 inch full touchscreen. Like its predecessor the LG Viewty, which debuted as the slimmest 5 megapixel phone, the LG-KC910 will be the slimmest 8 megapixel handset on the market at just 13.95 mm when released.

The LG-KC910 leads the industry with its 8 megapixel camera, which is being developed to include Schneider-Kreuznach certified optics, a xenon flash and ISO sensitivity up to 1600. Further strengthening the phone’s camera features are image stabilization, auto-focus, manual focus, Face Tracking, Smile Shot and blink detection. An embedded GPS receiver gives the LG-KC910 the ability to geo-tag photos for later plotting on an interactive map. A variety of creative shot modes, so far only found on standalone digital cameras, will be included.

The LG-KC910 is also the first handset for the global market to include Dolby Mobile, an integrated suite of audio processing technologies which brings depth and richness as well as clean, powerful bass to the music listening experience. The LG-KC910 can record video from 5fps up to 120fps, which allows it to record in both fast and slow motion. The phone also plays DivX and Xvid movies straight out of the box, without the need for additional encoding.

Rounding out the phone’s comprehensive feature set, are A-GPS enabled navigation, compatibility with the latest 3G HSDPA networks for connections up to 7.2Mbps and Wi-Fi for even faster internet access. The phone also includes a Jogging Buddy program that uses GPS technology to help track workouts, a feature sure to please exercise enthusiasts. The KC910 will be available for purchase beginning in October.

It takes 7 months for Nokia to start shipping out their latest N96 multimedia computer since their announcement in February. With a large 2.8″ screen, 16 gigabytes of internal memory and support for high-quality videos in a wide range of formats, the dual-slide Nokia N96 represents an exciting new chapter in mobile media. Here is an unboxing video, showing you what is included in the retail box.

In a recent article posted in the Wayne State University Student Newspaper, laptops are now considered the must-have when doing back-to-school shopping.

Taking notes on a laptop when in class is essential to modern day college life.  Colleges across the country have put in new WiFi access points to allow students free access to the Internet.  Typically, colleges will post where their WiFi locations are throughout the campus helping students connect to the Internet when they need to.

Of course when spending upwards of $1,400 for a new laptop, it must be protected.  An interesting point made in the University’s newspaper article, was that toting around a bag with a DELL logo on it means you are broadcasting to everyone that you are carrying a laptop.

“It’s best to use one of those non-descript cases, maybe a backpack where you can also put your papers or other stuff, and no one will think twice that you have a laptop in there,” stated Chris Demos, Lead Systems Administrator, Wayne State University.

Demos then went on to say, “When using a laptop at a public place, he advised to use  steelwire security cable, which he said acts as an excellent deterrent because it can take as long as 20 minutes to remove the cable and to do so inconspicuously would be impossible.”

Mobile Edge offers a solution for all of these concerns with one of the largest selections of laptop backpacks on the market.  We have backpacks that accommodate laptops up to 15.4″ and other ergonomic backpacks for larger 17″ laptops.  We have backpacks specifically designed for women and others for men.

Mobile Edge also offers one of the strongest laptop security cables on the market called the SecuriCable.  This cable screws into the computer’s serial or VGA port giving metal to metal contact for a secure fit.

Colleges students across the country purchase laptops and laptop accessories in their college computer book stores.  Mobile Edge products are offerd at hundreds of colleges across the country.  Rest assured, if you are a college student or the parent of a college student, Mobile Edge has the solution you need for mobile computing.
