Cool GTW18 cellphone packs a projector
March 16, 2010
Cellphones with projectors are nothing new, but next again previously released models did not boast a performance as poor as the Cool GTW18 that you see here today. While it comes with a 3.2" touchscreen display at 240 x 400 resolution, the LED mini projector maxes out at 640 x 480 resolution, which is a far cry from the "HD 1080P" label on the device. Talk about clearly misleading whoever picks that up! Ah well, you would best leave a phone to be a phone, while a projector ought to remain at that as well. Other features that are typical of a China-originated handset would be dual SIM slots as well as a pair of microSD memory card slots (!). Battery life gets exhausted after half an hour of video playback using its projector, which ain't so cool after all.

March 14, 2010

According to the latest rumblings on the Web, Google is preparing to close Google.cn. Aside from that, the search engine giant is unwilling to hand by management of Google.cn to a local entity. Despite that, other Chinese operations owned by Google will continue to go on, including a research centre in Beijing and a sales team that sells advertising on the Chinese-language Google.com search service (based outside of China) to advertisers inside the country. Do you think that the closure of Google.cn (if it materializes) is a big deal, or inconsequential to you?
