Nokia's rumored 8600 "Luna" exposed
The rumored Nokia 8600 "Luna" just got a lot more real now that a suspiciously similar twin is teasing us from the Carphone Warehouse site. The site dubs the phone the Nokia High Fashion because it's "so new it doesn't even have a model number." Sure, whatevs. At least they know that it's "coming soon" with an "on-screen menu system," 2 megapixel camera for photos and video, MP3 player, and 1GB of built-in memory. It's also likely to be sporting Series 40 under that sliding, semi-transparent hood. Nice.[Via Stuff.tv]
New Nokia spied; could it be the 8800's successor?
Could this devilishly winsome Nokia device be the successor to the much loved (but grossly overpriced) Nokia 8800, the rumored (and potentially cheaper) Nokia 8600 "Luna," or something else entirely? It's clearly a slider, but we lack pics of the business side of the device to get a feel for what it really has to offer as far as keyboard and other goodies go. Also no word on specs dates prices or carrier info in here, folks -- this is purely eye candy -- but we will hopefully see more of this little mystery in the not so distant future.[Via Just Another Mobile Phone Blog, thanks David and Yogev]

XtremeMac's Luna iPod alarm dock: a better mouse trap
Sure, we don't see many new types of iPod accessories as the market is saturated these days. However, we'll bite when a new take on an old design hits as fresh as the LUNA alarm clock / audio system does from XtremeMac. That white-on-black clock face shows the time, date, and dual-alarm settings and brings an iPod-like menu for navigating deep into the guts of the system. And those silver rings on top? They're not just for show, those are the manual controls for bass, treble, radio, and of course, volume. And those 2x full-range speakers are driven by a "powerful" two-channel amp which should provide ample fix to that morning audio jones. Rounding things out are a remote control, aux-in jack for other audio devices, and a fat set of bedroom-friendly options including an adjustable display brightness which can even be mapped to alarm and sleep modes, gradually increasing or decreasing volume options for wake or sleep, and customizable snooze from 1 minute to 60 or sleep from 1 to 90 minutes. Hitting December 18, but available for pre-order now for $150. [Via iLounge]
