Nokia Belle update could start rolling out 8th February

So while we may have gotten official word that the Nokia Belle update is expected to roll out in February, unfortunately it was not specified as to when exactly in February will Symbian users be receiving the update. Well that could have changed thanks to Nokia's Vietnamese website who might have accidentally let the cat out of the bag ahead of schedule, thus revealing that the update will begin rolling out to Symbian Anna users come 8th of February. The website has since been pulled (cached version here for those who might be interested).

. Sony launched the stylish new Cyber-shot DSC-TX200V featuring a beautiful reinforced glass design, a look that will go well with your iPhone.

Daycraft – Alternatives to Moleskine and Rhodia Notebooks

Who among us is a notebook / stationary junky. Let's see a show of hands please… Me too. That's why I was grinning from ear to ear when the mailman dropped off a box of samples from a company that I'd not heard of before: Daycraft. I suppose the reason why I've not heard of Daycraft is because they are based in Hong Kong and do not seem to have any distributors here in the US. That's disapppointing because they are offering some quality notebooks that mix style with a dash of quirky.

Daycraft sent me 4 samples, but they offer many different types of notebooks, daily calenders and sketchbooks.

This is the Cookie Bookie notebook.
