Nissan's latest EV conceals the hottest of hot desks
To prove the versatility of electric vehicles -- and probably just for the heck of it -- Nissan has transformed its workhorse e-NV200 electric van into a mobile office with a 106-mile range. UK-based design shop Studio Hardie took the humble delivery van/London taxi and loaded it up with all the slick amenities of a modern co-working space, from the minimalist leather-and-chrome desk chairs to the "barista quality" espresso machine.
WM6 Standard's Office apps hacked for Smartphone
Any Smartphone user knows that a good lump of the "Smart" part of Smartphone is missing in action due to the lack of Mobile Office apps on the device. Well, some industrious folk have learned that Office Mobile from Windows Mobile 6 Standard -- Excel, Word Mobile, and Powerpoint Mobile -- can be dragged kicking and screaming from that platform to run perfectly well on the old standard, Windows Mobile 5 Smartphone. We see two options for eager enthusiasts here: petition Microsoft to offer a purchasable version of the new suite, or, of course, have a go at the hack.[Via the::unwired]
Cario concept notebook: the wardriver's best friend
Even though it's pretty obvious that Anna Lopez's Cario concept notebook is only meant to be used while parked outside your local NeighborFi hotspot, there are enough idiots out there who would be surfing while driving (never an Engadget reader, of course) that we kind of hope the design lives and dies as a CAD file on Ms. Lopez's PC. Only slightly less dangerous than some of the in-car offices we've seen, the Cario seems to use its lid for support while the user types at a rather uncomfortable angle directly on the screen -- if ever a product screamed for a Bluetooth keyboard, it's this one right here. All in all not a bad idea for those unfortunate individuals who work out of their cars, and despite the fact that we already have a pretty snazzy in-dash PC, we're starting to regret the fact that we replaced our factory steering wheel with one of those tiny, Cario-incompatible chain link numbers. Fashion over function, ya know?[Via jkOTR]
