This piece of science fiction reality is looking very, very cool. You are looking at the Boeing SkyHook JHL-40, a heavy lift rotorcraft designed to lift tons of weight in the remotest and most dangerous places imaginable.
Boeing is designing the SkyHook JHL-40 to be able to lift 40 tons, carry it 200 miles, and survive in harsh environments like the Arctic or the tops of rugged mountains. The idea is that this rotorcraft airship will be able to get where no other piece of heavy lifting equipment can. It will do this with very little fuel and without disturbing the environment.
This isn't just some crazy concept craft. Boeing has a multiyear contract with SkyHook International to develop the JHL-40 (Jess Heavy Lifter), and they are being built at Boeing's Rotorcraft Systems plant in Ridley Park, Pennsylvania. As soon as they can be certified by the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration and Transport Canada, they will begin flying operations.

I realize this might be Johnny-come-lately review, but I only recently just got my hands of the BlackBerry 8830 World Edition.
It's setup was somewhat simple, but after that the interface with its mini-trackball does take a little getting used to. Once you have mastered it, you can pretty much do anything from surfing the web to checking your email. Oh, by the way, it can do phone calls, and I'm told it is the first BlackBerry CDMA that can roam globally without having to make any c...

Post Date: 2008-03-03 00:22:34
Engadget is reporting that AT&T will finally get the Nokia N95-3 sometime in the second quarter of 2008. The Nokia N95-3 is the U.S. version of the Nokia N95-1 (i.e. the original N95), which has a bigger battery, U.S. 3G frequencies, but is missing the lens cover for the camera.
