Tech Eye: Admit it - you missed us

However, "let off" is not a phrase known to the local constabulary back home, an organization that we were very familiar with during our myriad childhood indiscretions. To compound our problems, the neighborhood-watch scheme in our childhood village was taken over by our evangelical cousin several moons ago and all sentences for crimes must now be mentioned in the Old Testament. "Kicking against the pricks" is one thing, but having to murder your first-born is quite another.

So, after two weeks spent hiding in ditches and distracting the baying mob by pointing at innocent passers-by and screaming "she's a witch, she's a witch" we're now back in our much beloved if slightly moldy TechEye hotseat and feeling as refreshed as a four-month-old toothbrush.

But look what goodies are peeking out of TechEye's pockets at you this week (not that pocket, the other one). Why it's the lovely N92 from Nokia -  and before we get to the good stuff lets clear the decks of the usual phone guff. The N92 has a two-megapixel camera and a range of connectivity options such as Wi-Fi, infrared, Bluetooth as well as USB2.0. Nothing earth-shattering in that, and as it's not available until next year. Details are, like a prisoner who won't rub the lotion in, a bit on the thin side. But here is the juicy detail - the little monkey has a TV.

The N92 uses DVB-H (we can't be bothered to tell you what this stands for and of course we know) to give you digital television on your 2.8-inch anti-glare QVGA screen. Fair enough, you need to find someone who is broadcasting in DVB-H format (good luck), but life can't always be a kettle of cats. If you want it, expect to have your wallet lightened by EUR 600 (zł.2,380). Magnum PI on my mobile,  who's the witch now eh?
