May 10, 2013 08:57 am | Edwin Huawei W1 announced for the US Another day, another smartphone hits the scene, and here we are faced with the China-based Huawei having announced Huawei W1. Right after the sponsorship announcement of the highly-anticipated Jonas Brothers Tour, Huawei has also thrown a new announcement of their maiden attempt to roll out the first Windows Phone 8 smartphone from their stables, which would be the Huawei W1, and this will happen sometime later this month online at Walmart.com in addition to select Walmart stores in the US. Todd Greenberg, General Manager, US Windows Phone Sales at Microsoft, said, "We are proud to deliver a premium smartphone experience to customers at a competitive price point. The new Huawei W1 is a great addition to the Windows Phone 8 portfolio of devices in the U.S. with its impressive battery life and availability in Walmart stores." Just what kind of hardware specifications does the Huawei W1 bring to the table? Well, we are looking at a rather speedy dual-core 1.2GHz processor, which will be accompanied by optimized battery technology, in addition to a gorgeous 4” IPS LCD touch screen display that is made of Gorilla glass and will boast of decent performance even under direct sunlight, not to mention a 5-megapixel camera at the back, while the front would have a VGA camera for those moments when you want to hold video calls with another friend. The camera itself will also be accompanied by an LED flash, 4X digital zoom, auto focus and a quick access button. Running on the Windows Phone 8 operating system, which means the device would deliver a truly personal smartphone experience that ought to be able to fit unique needs and offer quick access to the people as well as other things that customers care about most. Of course, all that remains now would be to know just which mobile carrier would offer the Huawei W1, and pricing details will depend on the kind of agreement or contract that is offered.

In fact, this will be a feature phone, but does that mean the new Nokia Asha 501 does not deserve any kind of news coverage? That would be anathema to me – at least, as Nokia intends to position the Nokia Asha 501 to break down plenty of barriers and smash people's expectations of just how much 'smartphone' that their hard earned money is able to buy. First of all, let us get this out of the way – the Nokia Asha 501 might not be a smartphone, but this does not mean that folks who pick one up are going to lose out on touchscreen goodness. No sir, you will find the Nokia Asha 501 capable of delivering the full touchscreen experience, complete with social networks, content sharing and connectivity that has been deeply integrated into a wonderful, responsive and revamped operating system. It will be compatible with the GSM 900/1800 + WLAN and GSM 850/1900 + WLAN bands, falling back on the Nokia Asha platform user interface, but this will not come with a dual SIM slot. There is a 3" QVGA TFT capacitive display to get things going with your fingers, a 3.2 megapixel camera, and I am quite sure the 128MB of internal memory is far from sufficient in this day and age – which is why the engineers over at Nokia has decided to throw in a memory card slot that is expandable up to 32GB, if you get the right MMC card, of course. Other connectivity options include Micro USB, a 3.5mm AV jack, and a 2mm charger connector. The Asha 501 will come in bright red, bright green, cyan, yellow, white and black colors, where each purchase will be accompanied by a pair of red headphones right out of the box. It costs $99 a pop from Q2 onwards.

If only there was a nice and quiet place to indulge in, where you could recuperate in your Odin-sleep, just like Thor's old man whenever he needs to recover his powers and health. Enter the $16,000 Productivity Boosting Nap Pod that has been described to boost productivity by providing a rejuvenation space for taking 20-minute naps. NASA studies have shown that power napping is capable of improving concentration by 34%, and this particular activity, if you can call it that, has been widely embraced by the world’s most progressive companies as beneficial for everyone's well being. The pod’s contoured, cushioned bed delivers optimal ergonomics for napping by elevating the feet, relaxing the lower back, and slightly bending the knees, where all of it will help promote blood circulation. This spherical dome enclosure will also offer semi-privacy; a privacy visor that provides additional seclusion. You can control it from the armrest, and the built-in timer can be pre-programmed for you to enjoy a 20-minute nap. There is also a built-in 200-watt Bose speaker if you want to snooze to your favorite tunes, while a pair of headphones will also do the trick.
