			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-19269" title="samsung logo" src="http://www.ghacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/Picture-91.png" alt="samsung logo" width="101" height="75" />Samsung put out on display two phones that have not been announced yet. And as one can expect, they got covered on the Internet. These phones flag off a whole new line of Samsung phones called the Diva. The first phone is a full touchscreen phone that has a 3” resistive touch display with a WQVGA resolution. It is running the TouchWiz UI, has a 5MP autofocus camera, a microSD expansion slot, Bluetooth and even FM radio. This is the S7070 and it is apparently coming out in the first quarter of 2010. The back of the phone is white with a diamond patterned texture.</p>

<img class="size-medium wp-image-19264 aligncenter" title="Samsung-S7070-Diva" src="http://www.ghacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/Samsung-S7070-Diva-500x429.jpg" alt="Samsung-S7070-Diva" width="500" height="429" /></p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-19266" title="Samsung-S5150-Olivia-Diva" src="http://www.ghacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/Samsung-S5150-Olivia-Diva-500x379.jpg" alt="Samsung-S5150-Olivia-Diva" width="500" height="379" /></p>
<p>Next we have a flip phone, the S5150 Olivia. Olivia has a slim body, smooth interiors and a stunning face. Yes, I am talking about the phone. It has the same diamond shaped texture on its front as the S7070 and there it has a camera and a secondary (looks like OLED) display. Just look at the live photos gathered by GSMArena. The main display on the inside is 2.2inch with a QVGA resolution. The camera is 3MP. It is likely to appear around the same time as the S7070.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-19268" title="Samsung-S5150-Olivia-Diva-3" src="http://www.ghacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/Samsung-S5150-Olivia-Diva-3-500x350.jpg" alt="Samsung-S5150-Olivia-Diva-3" width="500" height="350" /></p>
<p>As you can guess from a name like <em>Diva</em>, these are phones that are designed to attract the fairer sex. Yeah so you might think about gifting one of these to your lady love. Or if you <em>are</em> the lady, just talk a lot about how much you like the phones. If he still does not get it, hit him on the head with your netbook with this webpage open. Let him figure it out with an icepack over his head. You got time though, the release does not happen till early next year. No word on the pricing yet but I have a feeling that they would be priced similarly. [<a href="http://www.unwiredview.com/2009/11/21/new-samsung-diva-phones-s7070-and-s5150-olivia/">read</a>]</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Microsoft Office Labs are always good for a surprise. For anyone who does not know what Microsoft Office Labs is about: It basically is used to publish software programs created by Microsoft employees in their spare time that relate to Microsoft products. </p>
<p>Microsoft <a href="http://www.officelabs.com/projects/touchless/Pages/default.aspx">Touchless</a> (via <a href="http://www.shellcity.net/">Shell City</a>) is an interesting application that fits well into the touchscreen craze that Microsoft started with the <a href="http://windows7news.com/">Windows 7</a> announcement. Everyone knows that Windows 7 will provide better support for touchscreens. Users without a touchscreen could make use of Touchless which utilizes a webcam to provide a touchscreen-like experience.</p>
<p>A Touchless demo can be downloaded from the Office Labs project page which contains four demonstrations. Snake is the well known snake game while Defender offers a up to four player pong experience. Map is a basic map application which supports rotating, zooming and moving while Draw lets the user draw on the screen.</p>
<p><span id="more-7786"></span>Touchless requires a computer running Windows XP or Windows Vista and a webcam that is DirectX9 compliant. The application can be started by extracting the contents of the archive to the computer system and double-clicking on TouchlessDemo.exe.</p>
<p>Microsoft Touchless provides access to the Touchless SDK which can be used to create third party applications that make use of the system. The whole package is Open-Source and could provide a way to add basic touchscreen support to webcam owners in <a href="http://windows7news.com/">Windows 7</a> which would surely explode the number of users that would make use of the Touchscreen features.</p>
