Nokia slips out 5 megapixel 6260 slide with AGPS, a first for S40 devices
Peeped in spy pics on these Interwebs since June, Nokia just went official with the 6260 slide. Unfortunately, “slide” in this case reveals a numeric keypad not a QWERTY. Otherwise, it’s pretty much an iterative step beyond the 6220 classic. As such, we’re looking at a 5 megapixel camera with Carl Zeiss lens, WiFi, and HSDPA/HSUPA data to quickly share photos and video on Nokia’s Ovi service with the promise of support for other photo and video sharing sites you might actually use. The 6260 slide also features Nokia Maps riding AGPS — a first for a mass market, Series 40 device. Ships in early 2009 for about €299 before taxes and carrier subsidies, naturally.

Paul McCartney: Beatles on iTunes stalled, I’m not dead
In a new twist to the wearisome saga of the Beatles digitizing their music catalog for iTunes (or any digital service, for that matter), Paul McCartney says that the negotiations have “stalled.” McCartney said, “It’s between EMI and the Beatles, I think,” before adding, “I really hope it will happen because I think it should.” While an EMI spokeswoman sounded hopeful about the matter getting resolved, we’ll just assume this is all Yoko’s fault in keeping with tradition.

Lenovo ThinkPads to freeze when texted, deter thieves from getting the goods
We’ve seen some pretty sophisticated laptop security measures out here in the volatile civilian world, but Lenovo’s taking things all top secret with its new Constant Secure Remote Disable feature. Slated to hit select ThinkPads in Q1 2009, the Phoenix Technologies, um, technology enables specially equipped notebooks to become utterly worthless if stolen — so long as the owner remembers to text in the emergency code, that is. You see, with the Remote Disable function, proper owners can send an SMS to their missing WWAN-enabled machine in order to make it inoperable; the lappie then sends a message back to confirm that it’s currently irritating the daylights out of a wannabe data thief. ‘Course, said thief can track you down and implement all manners of torture to get you to reactivate it, but we suppose that’s the risk you take with that sort of lifestyle. Full release after the break.

Kenwood’s CR-iP500 will do the All Black haka with your iPod
No, it’s not a Doomsday clock, ticking away the precious seconds of your brief mortality. It’s just another iPod dock, the CR-iP500 from Kenwood. The 371 x 175 x 187-mm globule of thump brings a pair of amplified 5W speakers, a built-in FM tuner, slot-in CD player, and a USB 2.0 jack to playback unprotected WMA and MP3 audio files off USB sticks. Yeah, iPods too, just as long as you don’t stretch the definition to include the iPhone which this dock doesn’t appear to support. Expected to hit Japan for ¥27,000 (about $280) in early December.
