Drool

This concept phone from Nokia looks AMAZING.  It's featured in the “Design and the Elastic Mind” exhibit at the MOMA.  I don't know how far along the technology is, but according to Nokia, some of its design elements will appear in high-end products within the next seven years.

You can't fully appreciate how awesome the concept is until you watch this animated video (just right-click and select "Save As...").  Watch it all the way until the end...it's worth it.

US Travelers Rejoice!

Very exciting news for those of us who travel within the U.S.

Virgin is launching Virgin America, a brand-new airline that operates only within the continental U.S.  And they've just added SFO to their roster of cities.

This is one sexy new airline.  I mean, seriously...when was the last time you WANTED to fly just for the sake of flying?

Mood lighting in the main cabin.  Electric, USB and ethernet outlets at every seat.  Personal TV screens with remote/control pad and a full QWERTY keyboard and...get this....seat-to-seat instant messaging!  You can actually create "chatrooms" and invite other passengers to chat.  Oh, and first-class seats have a built-in massager.

On top of everything, prices are totally reasonable.  Prices start at $49 from SFO to LAX and $399 from SFO to JFK.

Frequent flier miles on United are nice, but Virgin is just in another stratosphere.  Oh my, this is exciting.

Great Hong Kong Harbour View (or, How To Fall In Love With A City All Over Again)

Reason No. 35,428 why I love Hong Kong:

Put your mouse on the picture and move up and down, you'll see HK harbour view from 6:10 am to 7:40 pm.

iCan't-Believe-How-Much-I-Dig-This

Is anybody else craving the iPhone???  I haven't lusted after a product this way since the original iMac (OK, maybe the video iPod).

My biggest concern about the iPhone, battery life, was just alleviated 3 days ago when Apple issued a press release saying that they extended the battery life of the iPhone beyond the original estimates of 5 hours talk time/internet use/video playback and 16 hours audio playback to:

8 hours of talk time, 6 hours of Internet use, 7 hours of video playback, 24 hours of audio playback, or 10 days of standby time.  That's sick (by comparison, most other "smartphones" offer 4 to 5.5 hours of talk time).

My second-biggest concern, the touch-screen keyboard, was alleviated yesterday when I read this.

Now, the biggest question left for me is the price.  Can I stomach paying $600 for this thing when, just like the iPod, the next-generation iPhone will be much cheaper and better in every way?

 

p.s. Microsoft's answer to the iPhone, pretty promising in its own right:

Are you hungry?

Just thought I'd pass this on - it's the cooking show that I asked you guys for advice about earlier.  The show, ingeniously dubbed "Hungry Bytes," is currently on Episode 4 of an inaugural season that includes sumptuous recipes like Asparagus Proscuitto & Truffle Essence Risotto or Spiced Meatballs & Chorizo with Romesco Sauce.

Episode 1: A Romantic Dinner

Episode 2: The Cocktail Party

Episode 3: The Sushi Rave

Episode 4: WINE + FOOD

Each 10-min episode features a different recipe, and can be downloaded on iTunes (for free!) so you can play it (or rewind, pause, etc.) on your iPod while you try out the recipe in your kitchen.

Bon appetit!
