Sony Ericsson Cancels Paris and BeiBei Smartphones

Sony Ericsson's Paris, much coveted by S-E purists, has been canned, according to the Unofficial Sony Ericsson Blog. The Paris, aka the P5i, has been filed under T (for trash) alongside its sister smartphone, the BeiBei, or the G702. Apparently it's to do with the less-than-enthusiastic reactions from some of the mobile phone bloggers, who weren't exactly gagging for it. There's also speculation that a lot of its features were already lagging behind those of its competitors—and this is before it had even hit the streets. I guess we'll never have Paris.

Sony Ericsson Paris Promo Vid Confirms a Few Rumors

We've been talking about the upcoming Sony Ericsson Paris cellphone for a while, but we've not had much to go on. But now this new promo vid confirms that it'll have some kind of weather widget and also demos Google maps app in action, plus the (presumed) 5-megapixel camera. Also looks like there's an orientation sensor in there. Oh, and it'll make calls too. [Youtube]

Sony Ericsson Paris Slider Leaked?

We don't have many details of this Sony Ericsson smartphone called the "Paris", but se-nse.net claims that it's a slider, runs Symbian UIQ 3.3 and has quite a large screen. Below the screen will be a P1-style keyboard, meaning two letters per key. That's pretty much all we know, except for a supposed May announcement and September release. That weather widget looks pretty similar to the one in OS X Dashboard if you ask us. Which you did. We heard you! [Se-nse]

iPod Trunk from Pinel & Pinel Probably the Most Gorgeous Around

Parisian trunkmaker Pinel & Pinel's iPod case is the kind of iPod case I'd like to get my hands on—if I hadn't dropped my iPod before Christmas, that is. Made from leather-covered wood, its built-in speakers are Altec-Lansing, and it's got a couple of pockets so you don't lose your accessores (I know my USB connector is somewhere in the house, anyone with a psychic grandmother please contact her now and tell her that there's a lost cable that needs her help.)

Electrolux Design Lab Finalists Biting Their Nails as the Winner is Announced

The winner of Electrolux's Design Lab 2007 competition will be announced tomorrow in Paris, and these are the final eight products hoping to win their creator 5,000 ($7,435). The brief was to design something eco-friendly and sustainable for 2020, and sexiest is the Fog Shower by Joo Diego Schlmansky from Brazil, which consumes just two liters of water during a five-minute shower. It's all to do with the mist of microscopic water droplets, rather than a traditional shower, which uses around 20 liters for the same amount of scrub-up time.

PS3 European Launch: A Continent Yawns and Continues Picking Its Nose

You've already heard about the free tellies and taxis over in London, well this is how the PS3 was welcomed in France - with a gallic shrug. Just 60 per cent of its 100,000 available units have been reserved, a smattering of press attended the official launch - and a pleasure boat coated with Xbox logos parked itself next to the Eiffel Tower for that all-important photo-op before chugging up and down the Seine. Yes, it was Microsoft who pulled out all the stops and got first dibs on what little press attention there was. More »

Adidas Opens First Store with Virtual Shopping Mirrors

Too lazy to try on a new pair of shoes? The Adidas Shop in Paris, France is the first store to roll out virtual shopping mirrors. In a nutshell, these mirrors let you select the shoes you want to "try on" and thanks to the cameras inside the mirrors, they merge the image of your feet/legs with the shoes you've selected, so you can "virtually" try them on. I think the concept is cool, but I'd be more concerned over the fit than how they look. – Louis Ramirez More »

Tour Paris with the Digi-Guide

Yeah, you could simply walk around and look up throughout Paris, but why not keep your nose pointed to a GPS-enabled PDA to truly enjoy a city. Digi-Guide is a PDA based program that uses GPS to give a walking tour of Paris. The PDA and software can be rented from a participating retailer in Paris and will provide guides and information about everything Paris. The rental fee is €30 or around $37. Kind of a neat guide and it sure beats out walking around town in a group of 20 people all wearing headphones listening to somebody talk about the attractions while walking backwards. – Travis Hudson More »
