So Nokia did it! Everyone thought that Nokia E55 (we talked about it here) was the successor of the E51 but..Nokia made everyone thought wrong!
Nokia E52 in all its splendor!
The E52 is the last revelation of the upcoming Nokia's lineup: What we have here is just a twin of the E55 but with a standard keypad.
So, if you don't like devices with QWERTY keyboard (E75,E71) or phones with a strange (but cool) QW-ER-TY keyboard (E55) the new E52 is your choice!
By the way, I'm wondering how people will use the built-in GPS with a small 2.4'' screen!
Full specs can be found here.
I bet at least a couple of people out there was wondering what I thought about the last Apple's milestone.
Well, before telling that I want to say "forgive me for the late!": when I wrote this article I was in my "Internet-less university-apartament" so I couldn't post it on my blog.
By the way here's my opinion:

I told you! Steve Jobs when introduced the Iphone (January 9, 2007) was right! Apple with its Iphone was 5 years beyond every other phone-manufacorer in the world (yep, HTC included): When he said this statement he wasn't referring just to the Iphone itself but to it and, especially, the whole world that concerned it!
This Apple's goal is just a clue of that, but if you look around you'll find a lot of other minor clues (less evident, but still very relevant!).
Just a couple of ingredients to understand why Apple reached this goal in just 9 months:
Apple style: Like everything else from Apple, the design of the Iphone was innovative and super cool (I know that the real design of Iphone was already in the market thanks to LG).
User Friendly: Everything is super-user friendly! To install an app you just have to go in the App store, find your application and install! Nothing else! (ever seen the ads?)
Developer friendly: Iphone SDK is way better than Windows Mobile and Android counterpart. Also Apple with the Idea of an App store (Synaptic anyone?) make the perfect move to attract more developers and make the Iphone one of the best device available now!
During his keynote at the Intel Developer Forum in Beijing (8 April 09, themed "Invent the New Reality"), Anand Chandrasekher (that we've already met here) demonstrated the first live demo of Intel's next-generation Atom-based MID platform, codenamed Moorestown, providing a sneak peek into the low-power innovation of the platform.
Anand during his speech, click on the image for a (much) larger version.
What really got my attention was the device that Anand Chandrasekher kept in his pockets for a while: codenamed the Mars (pictured above), that MID runs an Atom processor in a clamshell form factor, with a full Windows XP and QWERTY keyboard.
On the back there's a standard phone keypad and secondary (maybe too little) screen.
This is not the first XP MID/smartphone combo infact, there was already the MIU HDPC around but this new one looks way better!
I strongly suggest you to see the whole conference here!

Today I've just finished writing a mobile version of the website!
That's the first (and unique, at the moment) part of my network that isn't completely written by myself!
To get to it, launch zanetello.com/m in your mobile browser.
Home screen, mobile edition!
Looks cool to me! Hope you like it!
Thanks to an interview taken from Mobile World Congress by Alessandro Bordin (Hardware Upgrade staff) with Anand Chandrasekher (Senior Vice President, General Manager, Ultra Mobility Group of Intel) we are able to know that Moorestow platform will be available for costumers within 18 months!
One of the first devices will be this one:
This device appeared first time during the IDF (Intel Developer Forum) Fall 2007 (introduced always by Anand Chandrasekher). Can't wait to see how it works!
