Skype Connection Fees to Double

August 27th, 2009

If you are a Skype user, then you aren’t going to like this news, because Skype will be doubling its connection fees to landlines and mobiles in many countries.

This is a bit of a bummer and not too many Skype users are pleased about this news. I guess this will push more of us to just try and do Skype to Skype calling instead.  By the time you add up all these new rates, it wouldn’t be any cheaper than using your regular landline.

If you are interested to see the new rates, just follow the link below:

Nokia Booklet 3G

August 25th, 2009

Nokia, the leaders in the mobile phone industry have made a big announcement with their new Nokia Booklet 3G notebook.

nokia-booklet-3g

This is more like a netbook than a notebook and it has some very nice specs. The Booklet is 10″ and is only 0.79″ in thickness.   It weighs under 3lbs, tipping the scale at 2.75lb.

Of course it will have all the connectivity you would expect from a Nokia product. WiFi, Bluetooth, 3G and HSPA. This will be a Windows powered device with an Intel Atom processor.

The release date for the Booklet 3G is sometime in September. Keep an eye out for these, because based on Nokia’s reputation, we are expecting big things (in small packages).
