Smartphone Rivalry!





The Blackberry Bold 9000 and the 9700 clash head on! It looks like the 9700 is winning this race with its new design and size. The 9700 has a length of 4.29" while the Bold is 4.48" long. Also the 9700 weighs only 122g compared to the Bold with a weight of 136g. Also the Bold is 6mm wider then the 9700. Also the 9700 beats the Bold with its 2.1v for the bluetooth device which means faster transfer. The high resolution in the new Smartphone is a new upgrade to the Smartphone series. For all the businessmen out there, i suggest you buy the 9700 for longer talk and standby time. The 9700 can last for about 19 days on standby time and 6 hours on talk time while the Bold lasts onl 10 days on standby time and 4 hours on talk time. The Bold has 1 advantage and that's the Onboard memory which is 1GB while the 9700 has an Onboard memory of only 256MB. So all in all the new 9700 is dominating the Blackberry market.

The Future of Honda






The Japanese creation was designed by the spanish designer Xuacu PĂ©rez Quesada. Incredibly enough the Honda RA-X was designed in a way to be made by our current technology and therefore production wil soon start. This concept car marks the presence of Honda in motosports and its name defenitly states it with the RA. Also you have the "X" factor that adds some more mystery to this incredible car. The smooth exterior lines form an X. The engine vents can be seen from the back and the tail lights are excentric with their triangular shape. The two-seater has a 350hp MR engine supplying power to the rear wheels. The doors open vertically which is an immitation to the lamborghini doors.
