Alcatel has just released a new mobile phone designed for first-time mobile phone users who still want “just” a phone and not a full computer like device in their pocket. We’re referring to the Alcatel OT-S520 which is a somewhat stylish, simple to use and no-fuss basic camera phone that boasts of a decent 1.8-inch 65K (128 x 160) display, a 0.3-megapixel VGA camera that doubles up as a webcam when the phone is connected to a PC and 2MB of internal memory. Other features of this dirt cheap dual-band mobile phone include MP3 ringtone support, 10 hours talk time, 400 hours standby time, pre-installed games, speaker phone and USB connectivity.

The folks at Epilog would like you to meet the Zing, a $7,995 laser etcher / printer that can not only scar you for life, but can also leave a personalized stamp of your choosing on anything that you can fit into it. If you’ve seen engraved iPods, Zunes, or MacBooks, you get the idea of what this device can do. The Zing is made to tackle almost any material, be it wood, plastic, leather, glass, or various metals (of course), though we’re fairly certain the company doesn’t condone or recommend taking this baby to your precious, supple skin.

We have recently seen the Creative ZEN X-Fi get announced, however that initial launch was just in Singapore, but it did not take long to begin showing up online for US sales as well. Buy.com has just listed the 8, 16 and 32GB models of the ZEN X-Fi and the pricing is similar to what we saw for the overseas market. The 8GB model is $149.99, the 16GB model is $199.99 and the larger 32GB model is $279.99. Although the 8GB model was originally announced for the Singapore market as to not include the same wireless capability as the larger models, it looks like all three will have Wi-Fi capability when it hits the US.

by Joshua Fruhlinger, posted Jul 12th 2008 at 8:02AM Microsoft has had its share hits and misses as far as product design goes, but this Arc Mouse due this winter looks to be a slick little input device. Wireless and collapsible, the Arc Mouse promises to combine both portability and style for those of you on the “fashion edge” (their words, not ours). Hyperboles aside, this $59.95 optical jobby seems to be the real thing, and comes in both red and black. (Read the full post about ‘Microsoft Wireless Arc Mouse folds up, makes you look cool’…)

Another series of leaked images of another upcoming handset from Sony Ericsson. The images come courtesy of the Arabic SE4M forums, and not only give a pretty good look at the handset, but they also include a few details about what we can expect. As typical with leaked images, the pricing and release date have not been mentioned. But we do have enough details to make this something to look forward to. Based on the images we can tell that it will have a 5-megapixel camera with autofocus and flash. It is also a Walkman phone, however the images are not showing any headphone jack, and based on previous models, lets just hope that it comes as a standard 3.5mm jack and not an special size.
