Neat, I can't wait until OLED screens become cheaper, I see the candyphone there with an OLED screen, when these new screens start gaining wider use and cheaper prices we'll start to see some really awesome displays on cell phones and hand held devices. The Sony OLED TV there looks like something out of a SCIFI futuristic movie.

Most of it are mobile phones... I'm underwhelmed.

^Seconded. Don't get me wrong, I'm as much of a gadget geek as the next guy, but couldn't we give the cell phones a rest for a while and do something original with our geek skills?

Strangely enough, I don't care a single bit about even ONE of those items.

Very "Space 1999."

The Nokia N76 seams cool.

The only thing I don't like about the article is the fact that it doesn't comment on each item. It's like "hey, this looks cool! Get green with envy over these cool looking things because they look so cool!"

Well, you know what I'd like to see in stuff like this: Trek-style editions! A cell phone doesn't have to pretend to be a tricorder or something, just be a cell phone in Starfleet style, approved and licensed by Paramount to look 24th-century Starfleet-issue. The same thing goes for things that are similar in function to Starfleet PADDs.
