Microsoft creating a Surface for Mobiles?


I’ve always wanted one of those Microsoft Surface tables for my own, but as you all know they come with a huge pricetag. Fortunately, Microsoft might be working on a more affordable model with this portable job that you see in the photo.
Unlike the touchscreen of the coffee-table sized Surface, this one uses projection technology and presumably some advanced sensors. I am assuming that in order to turn a coffee table into a touchscreen, you will need some interesting tech to do it.
Microsoft plans to demo this “Mobile Surface” at TechFest 2010.

Buggaty Car Shaped Phone for $200


Here is a candybar mobile phone that takes an odd shape. This is a Bugatty car shaped phone which can be yours for only $200. It comes with the usual basic features although if you associate it with an authentic Bugatti Veyron, it is nowhere near the million dollar price tag this vehicle has been known for.
It doesn’t include warranty and comes from China. If you are willing to take the risk in this phone which seems to satisfy unique phones then by all means take it. Otherwise, move on to another handset, something like the new phones from Nokia or even the Google Nexus One!
