Good choice Kim - shoot me an email if you need any tips on what apps to install or accessories to pick up. Three more photos after the jump.
Microsoft has just launched a new mobile gaming studio, it may well hope that tapping into its Xbox market can save Windows Phone 7.
A report from Gartner found that Microsoft's Windows Mobile smartphone market share has dropped to 5 percent from 9.3 percent a year ago. During that same time, by way of contrast, Android's market share skyrocketed from 1.8 percent a year ago to 17.2 percent today.
Microsoft hopes to fight back, but with Android market share soaring, and iPhone sales showing no letup, it's going to be tough to do. Microsoft needs to find some way to offer something that neither smartphone competitor does.
It may be that it hopes gaming will do it. Job postings show that Microsoft is launching a studio it calls MGS Mobile Gaming, and doing aggressive hiring to fill its positions. Here's part of the job description for Executive Producer:
Microsoft Games Studios is establishing a new Studio --- MGS Mobile Gaming --- focused on bringing games and entertainment to the mobile life that people lead. Our vision is to deliver games and entertainment so good that people will want them always with them, on a service that makes them social, connected and relevant anywhere their life goes. The Mobile Gaming team is building industry leading products that showcase our Windows Phone platform as well as emerging mobile platforms, and will help realize Microsoft's connected entertainment vision. The Mobile Gaming studio will be the hub for MGS franchises and titles on mobile devices and a center of excellence for mobile games.
we are finally able to provide the details for this package by the famous BMW-loving tuners. While this package sees absolutely zero engine upgrades - BUMMER! - it does come with a new aerodynamic package that makes the X6 M look absolutely amazing.
Among the modifications provided for the sporty SUV include a new front add-on spoiler that is constructed out of carbon fiber composite (CFRP), a new front spoiler designed to add downforce to the front axle at high speeds while directing more air into the front radiators and air duct openings, and an all-new power dome sculpted vented carbon composite hood.
Follow the upgrades to the back of the car and you will find a new sporty carbon fiber diffuser that replaces the factory plastic unit, 3 modular aero fins that are attached to the main body of the diffuser in addition to 2 vented slits to help cool the exhaust system and a carbon add-on rear deck lid spoiler that balances the additional down force of the new front end. The package is finished by forged 1-piece monoblock aluminum wheels and high performance Michelin PS2 sport tires.
In reality, not much has changed since they previewed the package back in March so we really don’t know why we had to wait so long for the official details for the SUV. And if we are looking at all of the exterior packages for the X6M then we would have to opt for the package that includes a little power boost to the exterior modifications. After looking at kits provided by Hamann, AC Schnitzer, and G-Power, we would put our money on one of the original packages for the X6; the tuning kit by G-Power. In that package, the customer would get both exterior modifications as well as a nice little bump in power.
Originally conceived as a single global design, this customizable creation could be the shape of things to come.
This smart tank is combination between a car with tank wheels. From it design we understand that this vehicle can runs on almost any terrain and can be drive in extreme environment.
Unfortunately, I do not have the detail information about this vehicle, do they want to produce as a future personal transportation car or they want to used it on battle field. But I hope they will use it in peace mission.

So it's no surprise that new adverts for Emporio Armani play up Megan Fox and Cristiano Ronaldo's sexy side.
In Fox's latest advert she is seen answering a hotel door to a room service waiter wearing only her Armani underwear and a robe, while Ronaldo gives a housekeeping employee more than she bargains for when he wanders into his suite wearing only some tight-fitting briefs.
Hyundai showed off the car on the grounds of Seoul's hillside Blue House, the office and residence of South Korean President Lee Myung-bak, who took it for a spin while Cabinet ministers, officials and electric-vehicle industry representatives looked on.
South Korea's biggest automaker said that it invested about 40 billion won ($34.3 million) over one year to create the vehicle, which is based on the automaker's small i10 hatchback.
Hyundai, which hailed the small car as South Korea's first full-speed electric vehicle, said that it plans to deliver 30 of them on a test basis to various South Korean government organizations by October and plans to manufacture 2,500 by the end of 2012.
"We are proud to introduce the world to BlueOn, which was fully developed in Korea and displays Hyundai's latest technological advancements," Lee Hyun-Soon, vice chairman at the automaker's research and development center, said in a release.
"Consumers' interests and demand for eco-friendly cars are rising and securing such advanced technology is critical in becoming an industry leader," he said.
Hyundai has in recent years won strong reviews for quality and design as it increased market share and brand recognition worldwide, but Japanese rivals have pushed ahead in electric vehicles.
Mitsubishi Motors Corp. already manufactures the iMiEV electric car, whileNissan Motor Co. plans to mass produce its Leaf electric vehicle during this fiscal year.
The 2,500 cars Hyundai plans to produce will include retail sales in South Korea, said Song Meeyoung, a company spokeswoman. She could not say exactly when consumer sales would begin.
As for overseas sales, she said it was "too early too discuss potential export markets at the moment."
The BlueOn has a maximum speed of 130 kph (80.6 mph), can accelerate to 100 kph in 13.1 seconds and travel as much as 140 kilometers on a single charge of its lithium-ion polymer battery, Hyundai said.
The automaker boasted that it carried out "hundreds of thousands of kilometers worth of endurance testing to secure safety."
The company also said the car makes an artificial engine sound as a safety feature for warning pedestrians because electric vehicles make little or no sound at low speeds.
The name BlueOn was derived from its Blue Drive strategy of "eco-friendly products and technologies" and the word "on" from "switch on."
Hyundai's stock price fell 0.7 percent Thursday to close at 151,000 won. Hyundai shares tripled in value in 2009.
