Sony have received FCC approval for a WiFi, Bluetooth, EVDO and HSPA equipped “notebook PC” that, going by the accompanying photo, looks to be the company’s much-rumored netbook. The device, described as both the PCG-1P1L and PCG-1P2L, uses the Qualcomm Gobi WLAN chipset, and measures approximately 9.5 x 4.5-inches.

While details are scant, what’s known is that the netbook runs Windows and has b/g/n WiFi. Given the dimensions, it’s hard to imagine that Sony will be squeezing in a trackpad; instead, they could be using either a trackpoint or an optical mouse as found on the Samsung Omnia and Raon Digital Everun Note.
Sony have previously attempted to dismiss the netbook segment, but back in September the company admitted that they would likely release their own version simply to have a presence in the market. The eventual product is likely to be priced at a premium, both because of its wireless connectivity and because of the Sony brand.

What would you get when you combine together an iPhone, aQWERTY keyboard, and a Game keypad? The upshot might be something like the iCEphone. Originally designed to meet the demanding requirements of the British military, the iCEphone is a combination of a cross-platform medical software package and a phone that sets a new industry standard in convergence technology. The rugged handset has both a desktop and a handheld mode. In the desktop mode, the intuitive keyboard folds out, and in the handheld mode, the secondary keyboard slips underneath. In both the modes, users will get the proper keyboard functionality.

Like all the high-end Japanese mobile phones, the NEC N-01A brings in a horde of impressive features. The phone has a large swivel display than can be moved either at 180 degrees or at 90 degrees. When you use the phone at 180 degrees, it appears to be a pretty good looking slider phone, and when you swivel it at 90 degrees, the phone seems best for watching TV. To top these features, the NEC N-01A comes with three different styles - the Touch Style, Share Style and Communication Style.
Technical Specifications: A wide 854 x 480 pixels VGS display, 5.2-megapixel camera, Built-in 1Seg TV tuner, and HSDPA connectivity.
