Sony Ericsson ‘The Idou’ Mobile Phone
With the Sony brand attached to their phones I expected a lot more from a design point of view but then again Ericsson have never really made any spectacular looking phones. I’m just thinking back to when the T28 was out and Nokia had their 8100 so called banana phone.
However, it looks like Ericsson has decided to let Sony look after the design aspects of the phone. In 2010, Sony will unveil The Idou. Strange name but its just a code name until they give it a proper name next year. The phone looks sleek and has a more Sony look and feel to it.
The phone will have a 12 megapixel camera with Xenon flash. The screen is a massive 3.5 inches with a 16:9 aspect ratio. These are only official specs that we know and things may be added or changed when the phone is released in 2010.

Aptera 2e electric car
This car looks like something out of the Jetson’s, not too sure if you guys remember that cartoon but you can always do a search if you don’t know what I’m talking about. Make sure you use Hoongle and not google.
This electric/hybrid car developed in Califonia will officially go on sale at the end of the year. The car will cost between $25,000 – $40,000, not cheap but there’s already 4,000 customer orders placed.
The Aptera does about 100 miles on a single charge according to their website. That’s supposedly equivalent to 300mpg; and the vehicle can be recharged by a standard outlet (110v) in less than 8 hours.

New solar-powered mobile phone
A new solar-powered mobile phone will hit the market as early as June this year for under $US40. The phone looks very much a ‘made in china’ phone but we thought we would feature this phone solely because its the first low cost solar powered mobile phone ever produced.
With a design you would get from a $2 shop, the Colar-200-Solar as it is called generates electricity from a single mini solar panel located on the back of the phone. The phone looks very cheap and it is at only $US40 you can get the phone outright.
The phone is produced by Chinese group ZTE and is targeted at people that don’t have access to electricity. This is no joke, there is about ‘two billion people who have limited or no access to electricity,’ said Wang Yong Zhong, general manager of ZTE.
