Memory expansion on the KG 920 uses MiniSD
Engineered with a sturdy metallic silver frame that resembles every bit of a thoroughbred consumer digital camera, the KG 920 is literally a 5.0-megapixel camera that comes with phone-like functions. Fitted with a bright 2-inch 240 x 320 pixel QVGA screen, photo previewing is a decent experience – although a larger screen would have been much appreciated, especially for such a powerful camera. Found in a row along its left profile is an array of buttons that although vary in purpose, are mostly suited for the KG 920’s camera functions such as shutter release, zoom, flash (shared with MP3 short cut), timer selection and the odd volume control. On the flip side, we've got a miniSD card slot, dedicated headphone jack and its propriety power input jack. What makes the KG920 unique is how half its body is able to swivel on a hinge so both camera lens and LCD screen can face inwards for self-portraits. Unfortunately, for all its appeal and uniqueness, the KG 920’s joystick, keypad and menu button layout is not ideal.

Samsung's SGH-i600: an HSDPA and WiFi Smartphone at last
Sure, you like the Motorola Q but hate the fact that it's missing WiFi. And the lack of 3G on the HTC Excalibur is also a deal breaker. Well, look no further for your QWERTY fix brother, 'cause our favorite maker of boxy black devices is showing off their SGH-i600 Smartphone at IFA in Berlin. This tri-band GSM 900/1800/1900 baby brings it all: HSDPA, EDGE, 802.11b/g WiFi, Bluetooth, a 1.3 megapixel cam with another up front for video calls, a 2.3-inch, 65k color, 320 x 240 TFT display, Microsoft's Push Mail, and 128MB ROM / 64MB RAM with MicroSD expansion all powered by Windows Mobile 5.0 Smartphone on a TI OMAP 1710 processor. The phone looks small enough for single-handed operation, can pull double-duty as an HSDPA modem and can even be switched into USB mass storage mode for easy drag-n-drop data transfer off your PC.
LEAKED: Motorola loves Linux - E690 PDA Phone
It looks like Motorola is making another non-RAZR, which in itself is exciting news. The E690 is a PDA/phone that runs on Linux, yes, Linux. It has standard PDA touchscreen and writing functions, as well as some decent multimedia support - including every video and audio file you could want played through two "3D surround" speakers (where you actually store the media, we don't really know). The phone also supports Bluetooth, WPA with full Internet browsing, and Office App viewing. But USB 1.1 only? That's like selling us a Cadillac without automatic windows. We know some of you Linux fans out there are probably writhing in Linux ecstasy. You can read more about Linux on mobile devices here.

Shocking details revealed in "Muti 5" murder case
An accused in a high-profile ritual murder case, Shumani Dzebu (31), explained in a packed Thohoyandou High Court how he took part in the murder of an unidentified man with his co-accused, Tshimomo Munyai. Dzebu testified that he had visited Tshimomo Munyai in October 2004 at his home at Tshandama, to deliver some herbs. He asked me to accompany him to his field so that he could deliver food to his worker. He gave the food to his worker and pulled me aside. He said he wanted to teach me something that would make me a good traditional healer. He went back to his worker and moments later, he told me that his worker was dead because he had poisoned him. He said he needed some body parts and promised to give me R20 000 if I assisted him in removing them. I denied his request and he became angry, and that was when I became afraid and assisted him.
M:Metrics: UK Leads in Mobile Music Consumption, While Americans Top the Charts in Ringtones
M:Metrics, the mobile market authority, today released its findings on the audience for mobile music in the U.S. and Western Europe. The measurement firm found that the UK boasts the highest percentage of mobile subscribers who used their mobile device as a music player in the month of July. At three percent, the volume of British mobile music consumers is higher than the Spanish (2.8 percent), U.S. (0.7 percent) and German (1.4 percent) audiences. "A significant barrier to mobile music consumption is the dearth of devices that support the activity," said Seamus McAteer, senior analyst, M:Metrics. "We are, however, seeing an influx of music-friendly devices on the market, with removable storage and better interfaces for accessing songs, as well as consumer education by the operators, all of which will foster growth in the sector." M:Metrics also reported its ringtone consumption data, which reveals that the U.S.
