Audi Turning To Nvidia Tegra Chipset

If I had $80,000 to spend on a car, I would probably go with an Audi A8. And now I have even more reason to want one since they partnered with Nvidia for their dashboard graphics.

Their Tegra 2 chipset will be installed in all Audi 2011 models — giving a boost to their dashboard graphics and adding the capability to display Google Earth mapping for navigation and point of interest search.

Symbian 4 To Launch Next Year

Nokia’s proudly showing off the Symbian S^4 user interface to all and sundry, which is expected to fall onto phones sometime early next year. We may still be awaiting Symbian^3, but Symbian^4 looks like a breath of fresh UI air.

Anyone that’s using a phone laden with the current Symbian^1 should be rejoicing at the sight of these images, which show a cleaner, more modern platform. It’s almost taken inspiration from Android (in fact, the User Interface Concept Proposal actually compares the UI to Android), but you know as well as I do that pretty pictures have nothing on actually getting your hands on a running device. Lag is a prevalent problem with S60, though that’s partly to do with hardware faults obviously.

Symbian is building the latest version in Qt, and it will reportedly support touchscreen and hybrid phones. There’s no word yet on whether you’ll be able to update your phone with the OS when it’s released—but as that’s more than a year away, you should probably be on your way to a new handset anyway.

Windows Mobile 6.5.3: Review

Phone Scoop was able to find a single device running Microsoft’s Windows Mobile 6.5.3. This update to Windows Mobile brings marked changes to the user interface that really allow users to forego using a stylus and rely on a finger alone.

Terminator 2: The Musical

In this T2 remix, Skynet Symphonic, John Connor saves the world to a hypnotic dance beat largely composed from cinematic sounds. And on an a slightly related note, Linda Hamilton could kick Arnold’s butt any day

Nokia N900 Running Starcraft

Yes indeed, you can play Starcraft (Stratagus) on the Nokia N900. And it looks a little easier to handle than Duke Nukem 3D.

Transformers – War of Cybertron

The war for Cybertron begins as the Autobots and Decepticons clash in the brand new original Transformers title.

Enjoy the debut trailer below!
