Designed by Sun Liang, the “Ring Faucet†“visually frames flowing water in a circular fashion, giving you a full view of the water just as it falls over the edge.†No word yet on if this concept will go into production. One more picture after the jump.
The opening orifice at the spout end lets in natural light which illuminates the flowing water for a striking view. Water is ‘reinstated’ as a precious element, like a fine diamond

Phonearena reviews the E-Ten X500, which is claimed to be the “world’s slimmest†Windows Mobile 5.0-powered Smartphone. It features a Samsung CPU (400MHz), 2.8-inch QVGA display, 2.0-megapixel camera, 802.11b/g WLAN, Bluetooth, SiRF Star III GPS, a microSD card slot, 128MB ROM, and 64MB RAM.
It brings wireless network and GPS navigation in slim stylish body with average size. Its 400MHz processor beats its rivals and its 2-megapixel camera is a good performer for this class. It suffers from weak keys design (they are not comfortable) and inferior carrying case. Overall, if you are looking for Pocket PC which can be used for GPS navigation, look no further

According to TheRawFeed, NTT DoCoMo has developed the world’s first solar-powered cell phone, complete with a GameBoy Advance-inspired design. Pricing and availability have not yet been announced. One more picture after the jump.
This phone actually includes the solar cells on the external side of the clamshell—therefore not needing any other devices to use the sun’s rays to charge. On a side note: this would be great for those of us that constantly forget their cellphone chargers regularly

TrustedReviews recently got their hands on the Panasonic Viera TH-65PX600 plasma. This display boasts 1920 x 1080 full-HD native resolution, 5000:1 contrast ratio, three HDMI inputs, an SD card slot, and a built-in digital tuner. Here’s the bottom line:
Provided you do the sensible thing and feed the 65PX600 a diet of high definition as often as you can, it’s a simply imperious performer – without doubt the finest screen above 50in we’ve ever seen
