World's First Dual-SIM WIndows Mobile Phone Keeps Girlfriends and Wives Separate [Smartphones]

Iomega eGo Hard Drives Are Pretty Enough, Cheap Enough

Nikon Coolpix S80 Point-and-Shoot: 14.1MP with a 3.5" OLED Touchscreen

The Nikon Coolpix S80 takes up where the S70 left off: bumping the megapixels up to 14.1 (from 12.1), upgrading the 3.5″ touchscreen to , and rounding some corners for a decidedly sleeker (like .7″ thick sleek) look.

The S80′s touchscren will let you draw and stamp right on your pictures, just like recently announced S1100pj projector-cam, and it carries over the S70′S 5x optical zoom and 720p video capabilities.
