Bugatti Centenaire Edition with 1350hp Rumored to Debut in Geneva

Bugatti is a super brand, an automotive legend, and even if the company has laid dormant from time to time over the last 100 years, it has to celebrate its centennial in a way that lives up to its history and image.

And it's not going to be yet another special edition Veyron. In fact, the car that Bugatti is rumored to be debuting at Geneva next week will carry the name of the event it is meant to mark. According to Autoblog, the car will be named the Centenaire and, although it may be based on the Veyron, it will distinguish itself from Bugatti's standard Veyron 16.4.

How exactly will it do that? By uprating the 8.0 liter, 16 cylinder (W16) quad-turbo Bugatti engine to a Jack Nicholson-in-the-Shining-level of crazy - a maniacal 1350 hp. (The 'standard' Veyron comes with a mere 1001 hp and 1250 Nm of torque. Don't ask how you get to measure that extra horse over the 1000 mark. Just don't.)

Top speed on the Centenaire beats out the discount, pedestrian showroom version of the Veyron 420 km/h (261 mph) to 407 km/h (255 mph).

None of this has been confirmed, of course.

Windows 7 Available in September/October 2009

When it comes down to the deadline for the general availability of Windows 7, Microsoft has been undeterred from its initial claims that the next iteration of the Windows client would ship within three years of Windows Vista's GA. However, this is not exactly the case, revealed a computer-industry executive from Asia. In fact, Microsoft seems keen to beat its three years from Vista GA estimate for the delivery of Windows 7. A report via Bloomberg indicates that the Redmond company is actually planning to wrap up Windows 7 well ahead of the 2009 holiday season, namely in the September – October 2009 time frame.

Microsoft announces Windows Mobile 6.5

With an endless chain of leaks dating back several months, the suspense factor might not be there that Microsoft had been hoping for -- but for what it's worth, Windows Mobile 6.5 is now official. The latest rendition of Microsoft's mobile platform puts an emphasis on touch-friendliness with a honeycomb-style main menu that the company says is easier to finger than a traditional grid layout; a new lock screen that can be slid on different alerts to automatically call up texts, voicemails, and so on; a thoroughly-restyled cut of Internet Explorer Mobile that features a touchable zoom slider and frequently-used commands; redesigned menus that don't need a stylus to actuate; fingerable home and contacts screens, and more. It's not the thorough gutting of the platform many were hoping for, but for anyone thinking that Windows Mobile 6.1 can stand another facelift without ending up looking like Joan Rivers, 6.5's clearly your baby. Sadly, Microsoft's saying that no devices in the market today will receive official 6.5 updates, but don't pull out your wallets just yet, though -- the first devices with Windows Mobile 6.5 preinstalled should be available in the fourth quarter of the year.

Acer makes its smartphone debut

Acer's intention to enter the mobile phone market was plain for all to see after it acquired E-Ten, a maker of Windows Mobile (WM) handsets. After a year of radio silence, the company finally unveiled its first range of four mobile devices dubbed the Acer Tempo.

The M900 has a slide-out QWERTY keyboard and a massive 3.8-inch screen.

The new products all run Microsoft's mobile operating system (OS), WM6.1. The most feature-packed device of the lot is the M900 which comes with a huge 3.8-inch WVGA (800 x 480) screen, 5-megapixel camera with autofocus and LED, full suite of connectivity features and a fingerprint sensor to boot. The sheer number of features gives it quite a bit of heft and the M900 measures in at 119 x 62 x 17.1mm with a weight of 188g.

The F900 has specifications that are similar to the M900. It doesn't have a keyboard or fingerprint sensor but also features the large 3.8-inch display and a host of connectivity features including HSDPA, HSUPA, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.

The DX900 is a carryover from E-Ten's lineup before the latter was bought over. This model includes a 2.8-inch VGA display, 3-megapixel camera and two SIM card slots. The first SIM slot supports 3.5G and quad-band GSM, while the second only has tri-band GSM compatibility. WM phones that support two SIM cards are still not very common and the DX900 should appeal to those who shuttle between two countries and frequently have to swap between operators when traveling.

Lastly, we have the X960, a relatively compact model which comes with a 2.8-inch VGA display, 3.5G connectivity and a 3.2-megapixel camera. All four models have the SiRFstar III GPS chip and either Acer Shell or Spb Mobile Shell as alternatives to the default WM interface.

Unfortunately, Acer did not indicate that any of these products can be upgraded to WM6.5 when the new mobile OS launches in Q3 this year. According to CNET US, availability information is also up in the air for now as the company indicated that it is talking to operators and will be making announcements in the coming months.
