Samsung F268 is Greenest Mobile Phone

Samsung's F268 handset has been named the "Greenest Mobile Phone" by environmental campaigning organization, Greenpeace International.


The F268 saw off competition in the form of the Motorola V9, the Nokia 3110 Evolve, the Sony Ericsson C905 and the LG KT520 in the handset category.

The win was unveiled by Greenpeace's 'Green Electronics: The Search Continues' report, which commends the Samsung F268 as the 'greenest mobile phone on the market today'. The report recognizes the efforts Samsung has made to develop more renewable and eco-friendly materials and describes the accolade as a 'remarkable achievement.'

The Samsung F268 is the brominated flame retardant (BFR) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) free mobile phone. Neither the device nor its accessories (including the charger and headset) contain PVC, and the all components are also entirely free from BFRs.

In addition, the Samsung F268 has an alarm function that tells users to unplug their charger when the device is fully charged. The product also fully complies with the Energy Star requirements - a set of strict energy-efficiency guidelines established by the US Environmental Protection Agency and the US Department of Energy.

BioShock Coming to the Mac

At the Macworld Expo, Chris Holt from Macworld.com got word that Irrational Game’s most excellent action RPG BioShock is finally coming to the Mac. Here's what he had to say:


"If you wandered your way over to the Feral Interactive’s Macworld Expo booth on Friday, you might have noticed something a bit different about the shirts the exhibitors were wearing. On the back of the shirt, for all the world to see, was the iconic Big Daddy character from the Bioshock series.

Hoping that this was not some kind of terrible wardrobe malfunction, I talked to a couple of Feral’s representatives, who confirmed the dystopic adventure first-person shooter is coming to Mac."


So yeah go ahead and rejoice Mac users.
