One of the reasons that Nokia decided to partner with Microsoft to embed Windows Phone 7 into future Nokia handsets was this: there's too big a risk for phones to become "commoditized" with Android. In other words, Android phones are a dime a dozen, and just about anyone can build one. Nokia simply didn't want to become "one of the crowd," as the Nokia label just means too much. We can understand that, and it actually makes a lot of sense for the company. But Olive Telecom is in a different situation. They're making the most of having the opportunity to produce an Android phone, with the OliveSmart V-S300 being the first Indian HSPA+ Android Gigerbread smartphone. The phone's no slouch. It'll...

That are audiophiles, and then there are audio freaks. If you consider yourself an audio freak, or even an audio snob, this amazing new box might interest you.

The new box is capable of ripping your CDs into FLAC files that are stored internally, and it has enough space for around 1500 of your favorite...

Love your music? No, we mean do you really, really love your music? If you're willing to pay to prove it, Olive has a new music server just for you. The all new 4HD is a specialized, high-end server designed to stream tunes from its internal hard drive out onto whatever high-end speaker setup you have, and the integrated Gigabit Ethernet socket + 802.11n Wi-Fi module enable it to send/receive signals over a home network.The main feature here (aside from the 2TB of internal storage space) is the ability to offer sound quality up to 250 times the resolution of a standard CD. Of course, the human ear probably can't tell the difference, but it's the numbers that count, right? The 4HD has a proprietary...
