Remember the arguably stylish Sony Ericsson Jalou ? One of the device versions was co-signed by Dolce&Gabbana and that specific device got a new commercial. Here’s what’s it all about right from the horse’s mouth (that’s Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana): The campaign theme plays with the concept of jealousy and desire for a must have object, the protagonists are willing to do whatever is necessary to get it before everyone else, the link with the Dolce&Gabbana brand is the strong femininity, the exclusivity and luxury of the women that wear the Dolce&Gabbana clothing, use the Jalou by Dolce&Gabbana phone and embrace our world in general.

With October coming to an end in a little over a week, and mobile phone geeks around the world eagerly await the Nokia ( NYSE: NOK ) N900 to start shipping, it seems that the device isn’t going to be “ in select markets … October 2009 ” like the August press release said. Peter Schneider, Head of Maemo Marketing @ Nokia, posted a message to the official Maemo forum with the latest information regarding availability: The Nokia N900 is a great example of what we and the open source community have been able to achieve with Maemo software

Brief: You’re going to have to wait until November for the Nokia N900

Juniper Research’s latest report titled “Mobile Money Transfer & Remittances: Markets, Forecasts & Strategies 2009-2014″ argues that the consumer demand for mobile money transfer services will see users exceed 500 million globally by 2014, most of which will come from the developing countries. The reason is simple – for many people living in such markets, a mobile phone will be their first touch with the banking system. However, Juniper also points out that many of the mobile money services being announced will face political, regulatory or commercial challenges along the way

Oh, PC. Your hijinx extend back so far that in those days, you had long hair! Apple wins again! While this newest Apple ad (about which I am being paid millions to post) is entertaining in a sort of superficial, nudge-nudge amirite kind of way, I don’t think it’s really as compelling as most of the other ads, even as lacking in facts as those were. I guess these ads are so simple to make that they can afford to just run with every idea, no matter how vague or half-baked

Freedom4 (which is a joint investment between Daisy Group plc and Intel Capital) has been granted a licence variation by Ofcom (in the UK) that enables it to offer mobile wireless broadband services to its customers using its nationwide 3.6GHz spectrum. Apparently, Freedom4 has already achieved the world’s first seamless mobile WiMAX handover between base stations operating at two frequencies (2.5GHz and 3.6GHz) and “architected a high capacity core network, capable of delivering wholesale services”.

To call us a “car blog” would sorta be stretching the truth. Occasionally one of the guys—aka Matt Burns— will do a car story , yeah, but that’s primarily because he thinks he’s James May. I have no such illusions of grandeur; I’m just sitting at a desk typing things, and writing student loan checks… Before this gets any further off track, the news: Volkswagen has teamed up with the guys behind Real Racing, Firemint,

Just the other day, I was in the local O2 ( NYSE: TEF ) shop, playing with the Palm ( NSDQ: PALM ) Pre – having heard so much about it, but no opportunity to get hands-on, I was keen to see what the device could do. Initially, I was really pleased to see an excellent implementation of both the capacitance screen sensitivity, but also of the UI – it really does look that nice, and in my mind at least, is a competitor for the iPhone UI for sure.

I don’t know how many of these bad boys have arrived in the UK yet, but the person who’s kindle I played with yesterday claimed theirs was one of the first! Whether that’s true or not, I’m not sure – but one thing is clear – Kindle, with support for Euro 3G, is definitely here! To rewind a little: the Kindle is Amazon’s play in the e-book reader space – and Amazon have one huge advantage over other e-book reader manufacturers … can you guess what it is?! Yep, the (arguably) critical area of content! To say that Amazon know a bit about selling books is possibly the understatement of the year! So Amazon have got some hardware in to the marketplace, which has been established for some time – when I say marketplace of course, what I actually mean is the US domestic marketplace (officially) – but in the last few days, the informally-titled ‘Kindle 2’has appeared, rocking 3G and EDGE support for European mobile networks. What makes this more interesting from my perspective is that the device can supposedly roam on any major network in most countries,  and you don’t pay the data fees for doing your book downloads. Schweet! Because the Kindle display uses E Ink®, you should theoretically get huge battery life, since the power needed to maintain screen display of a given page is close to zero

I took the morning to check out a contest RIM and Rogers ( NYSE: RCI ) were holding at the University of Ottawa called CampusChase , where teams of two run around town like headless chickens on a scavenger hunt for big prizes. Rogers wasn’t quite ready to show off the Bold 9700 just yet (all of the promos were for the Curve 8520), but it was still a ton of fun hanging out with the BlackBerry ( NSDQ: RIMM ) mascots for awhile. Here are a few pictures of the booths, contestants, and the warm-up just prior to the race

CrunchGear reader Steve Jabs seems like a reasonable and trustworthy guy. Patient, too, as he’s been reading the site for quite some time now and clearly hasn’t removed our feed from his RSS reader in a fit of rage over one of the many half-assedly researched and grammatically baffling posts that have graced these virtual pages for so many years. Steve alerts us to a ten-foot HDMI cable deal on Amazon: 74 cents, plus $2.95 for shipping

Nokia ( NYSE: NOK ) isn’t just the largest mobile phone maker in the world (although, they’re bleeding market share like a hemophiliac heavyweight boxer), they also hold a lot of technology patents that make the wireless world go ’round . And, Nokia doesn’t like it when other companies use their intellectual property without paying their dues. Today, Nokia has announced that it is suing Apple ( NSDQ: AAPL ) for infringing on 10 of those patents with the iPhone

Nokia: SUE you, Apple. That’s our wireless tech you’re infringing on.

iFixit has torn up the new iMac to reveal the delicate inner workings of both the machine and its attendant Magic Mouse. Obviously the biggest issue here is removing the massive piece of glass on the front, a process that requires a spunger, suction cups, and a sense that life is futile and electronics should be destroyed on camera for the edification of an audience. The Magic Mouse teardown shows us that the mouse is covered in one big touchscreen – not huge news – but it also seems that the case is translucent

It should be known by now that the Motorola Droid is launching on October 28 , but according to these screenshots of Best Buy’s system, the retailer might have the phone available early on October 24. Now, the 24 is this coming Saturday, which is a usual inventory restocking day so just because the stores have them somewhere doesn’t mean they will be available for purchase.

TeliaSonera, a Swedish mobile operator who also serves other countries in Northern Europe, is looking to be the first mobile operator in the world to launch a commercial LTE network in 2010.

T-Mobile ( NYSE: DT ) has a neat new accessory showcased on its website . It’s called the 24/7 Xtreme Portable Power Solution, and it’s touted to bring the “instant, eco-friendly power for your phone.” The trick is in the fuel cells, using which the charger works similar to a chemical ice pack, requiring user to squeeze it and shake it. The Medis-made Xtreme then uses electrochemical processes to create electricity and do its recharge magic.
