Levi's today unveiled The Original, a classic monoblock cell phone. The front and back panels and keypad are made of high-quality steel, while the top is manufactured from soft plastic to be pleasant against the speaker's ear.
A diagonal pattern on the front and back ensures The Original doesn't slip out from hands, while 12 miniature steel bolts along the perimeter are reminiscent of rivets on jean pockets. On the bottom, a twisted in-steel bolt is the binding for the chain (included in the package).
All the steel doesn't influence its weight, measuring just 96 x 55 x 11 mm and weighing only 98 g. A high-quality 262K-color TFT display measures 1.76-inches with a resolution of 220 x 176 px.
Levi's The Original is also equipped with a 2.0-megapixel camera with multi-shoot and autotimer, capable of snapping photos up to 1600 x 1200 px in size. The Original shoots video in two formats: MPEG4 and 3GP (H.263).
With a 780 mAh Li-Ion battery, consumers have enough for ... [Continue reading Levi's Launches Denim-Inspired Cell Phone]

Yahoo today unveiled onePlace, a bookmarking tool that lets users keep track of favorite Web topics on their cell phones.
