The Nokia X5-01 will cost approx. $195. Coming in lots of colors including pink, blue & green.
Green Car Design
Finally, the green car design is out. This green car which is powered by pipe dreams and plants, only this Photosynthesis car would use “Solar panels” and somehow to move about in town.

Google launched it’s iGoogle’s product debut in 2005 and I think people like it. We’ve always liked the minimal Google.com homepage, but if you prefer a little spice to your search page (Like Bing), you’ll like the Google’s new background image feature.
It’s a simple enough feature that we’ve heard rumors: Just go to Google.com, move your mouse to the bottom left of the screen and click on Change background image, and pick any image from Google’s Public gallery, your Picasa web album photos, or upload any image from your desktop.
They’re still rolling out this feature to all their servers. I hope you enjoy this new feature. Leave your comments about it….
