The Volvo V40's design seriously put its competitors like Audi A3 and BMW 1-Series to shame! From far you'll know that it's a Volvo but it loses the boxiness of a C30. Speaking of C30, the V40 is the replacement model for C30 and S40 sedan. Probably Volvo might release a sedan version of it soon. Unfortunately there is no information on the V40 other than these pictures released by Volvo. The rear view bears some resemblances of the C30, but it's more well executed and meaner looking, like asking the tailgaters to keep a further distance from the V40! Interior wise, the cabin has the same theme as the S60. Dark coloured with chrome, lots of it, around the cabin. As a Volvo, the V40 also comes with dozens of safety feature abbreviations and the highlight will be for pedestrian protection. The bonnet will pop up and airbag will be deployed at the base of the windscreen to reduce head injury of the pedestrian. The V40 certainly looks promising an...

Nokia made the world 'wow' by introducing the Nokia PureView 808, a smartphone comes with 41 Megapixels image sensor! It captures image data from seven adjacent pixels and condenses it into one , resulting in stills at around 5 MP resolution but with amazing details! As the successor of the Nokia N8, which Nokia previously claimed that it's the best camera phone in the market, the PureView 808 has Carl Zeiss lens with Xenon flash, and video recording made better with a LED light, something the N8 lack of! Video recording is available in FullHD 1080p at 30 fps and also 720p@30fps . The large camera sensor definitely benefit when it comes to zooming in camera or video mode. There's a tiny price to pay for the huge camera sensor (which is 2.5X larger than N8) though. The PureView 808 measures 17.95mm at the thickest point, but I don't think it will burden any camera lovers out there! The PureView 808 runs on single-core 1.3 GHz processor, 512 MB RAM and u...

Click to enlarge Samsung has revealed its 2 new Android tablets – Galaxy Tab 2 (7.0) and Tab 2 (10.1) . Although the hardware and size isn’t exactly new compared with the previous Galaxy Tab line up , both tablets run on the latest Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. So how is it different from the existing Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus and Tab 10.1? For the Tab 2 (7.0), it is basically a notch lower than the 7.0 Plus with a 1.0GHz dual-core processor and comes with a lower VGA front facing camera. In terms of dimensions, the Tab 2 (7.0) is slightly thicker by 0.5mm but it still maintains the same weight at 345g. For the Tab 2 (10.1) which was just announced, it now comes with a microSD expansion slot, which is currently lacking on the Tab 10.1. However just like the Tab 2 (7.0), it also uses a low end VGA camera for the front. Dimension wise, it is slightly thicker by 1.1mm and weighs and extra 23 grams compared to the Tab 10.1. Of course, there’s still one more tablet yet to be revea...

Peugeot has been saving the GTi badge for something special since the underwhelming 207 GTi was discontinued in the market in 2009. Finally, the company reckons it has produced a car worthy of the badge in the shape of this 208 GTi Concept, which is set to be unveiled at next month’s Geneva Motor Show. There’s no doubt where the inspiration for the hot 208 has come from. The GTi badge is proudly displayed on the rear quarter panels – just as it was on the legendary 205 GTi hot hatch back in the eighties. But the retrospective nods to one of Peugeot’s best-loved models end there. A very modern look, with beefy wheelarches, an aggressive front grille and a large rear spoiler is the order of the day. The grille looks like a chequered flag and there’s a pair of chrome exhaust pipes. The 208 GTi’s engine has already been seen in the RCZ coupe. The 197bhp 1.6-litre turbo petrol will be mated to a six-speed manual gearbox. No performance figures ...

Long before the launch of Nissan Murano Convertible and while my imagination runs wilder at a younger age, I've actually thought of the concept of crossing a SUV with a convertible! Had those silly imaginations where I can wade through flood or climb mountains with top down, it would be so cool if I ever had the chance to do so! Now, Land Rover had unveiled what it called the 'world's first premium convertible SUV', the Land Rover Evoque Convertible. With a low-slung (for a SUV) and sporty exterior, the design of the Evoque Convertible is well executed and handsome I would say. Although the Evoque COncertible is still in 'concept' form, we can see it's ready for launch at anytime! Since the Evoque Convertible has its roof 'chopped' off, Roll Over Protection System is essential in order to protect the occupants in an event of rollover. We can expect the Evoque Convertible comes with the same features and powertrains offered in the Evoq...

Proton and YES, a 4G network provider launched a collaboration which is a Proton Inspira with 4G Internet access. The YES 4G Proton Inspira is Malaysia's first car which has 4G Internet access so that you can go online whenever and wherever you go with speed up to 15Mbps! For this special edition Proton Inspira worth RM100,000, it has sportier 18-inch rims, YES 4G deco and titanium black tinting for the exterior. Interior wise, it has 3 Apple iPad 2 (one on the dashboard, 1 at the back of each front seat), Sony audio system and a portable YES 4G Huddle. However, don't you think that the iPad 2s might attract thieves? Some might break the window just to make an attempt to steal them! Another thing is the iPad 2 on the dashboard kind of restricting a bit of the air-cond outlets, not sure whether it will affect anything or not. I'm glad to hear that the 4G will make its way to Proton's upcoming P3-21A (most probably only available in the high-line var...

These are the latest pictures of the new Kia Track'ster – a hot hatch concept car that was the star of Kia's Chicago Motor Show stand. The new three-door coupe points towards a dramatic addition to the Soul range, packing dramatic looks and a 247bhp 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine that drives all four wheels. Kia says the car is designed for use on the road and on racing tracks, hence its name. The Track'ster features a distinctive white and orange paint scheme and a dramatic bodykit which makes the car around 13cm wider than the standard Soul. It includes Kia’s signature grille with an air intake trimmed in lightweight carbon fibre, sleek headlights with LEDs and a large lower grille flanked by immense LED driving lights. The roof, complete with spoiler, is accentuated in contrasting orange. Carbon fibre side skirts are also coloured orange and incorporate rear-brake cooling ducts.  Inside, the Track'ster carries on the ...

Flash was created during the PC era – for PCs and mice. Flash is a successful business for Adobe, and we can understand why they want to push it beyond PCs. But the mobile era is about low power devices, touch interfaces and open web standards – all areas where Flash falls short. The avalanche of media outlets offering their content for Apple’s mobile devices demonstrates that Flash is no longer necessary to watch video or consume any kind of web content. And the 250,000 apps on Apple’s App Store proves that Flash isn’t necessary for tens of thousands of developers to create graphically rich applications, including games. New open standards created in the mobile era, such as HTML5, will win on mobile devices (and PCs too). Perhaps Adobe should focus more on creating great HTML5 tools for the future, and less on criticizing Apple for leaving the past behind. Steve Jobs April, 2010 Thoughts on FLASH Symbolic: Steve Jobs vs The Flash. Apple has a...
