Six versions of ICub exist in laboratories across Europe, where scientists are painstakingly tweaking its electronic brain to make it capable of learning, just like a human child and hoping it will learn how to adapt its behaviour to changing circumstances, offering new insights into the development of human consciousness.

    Nokia says shipping first touch-screen phone

    HELSINKI
    Thu Nov 27, 2008 9:54am EST

    HELSINKI (Reuters) - Nokia Oyj has started deliveries of its first touch-screen phone, the 5800, the cell phone maker's answer to Apple Inc's iPhone.

    Russia

    Nokia said on Thursday the phone is, or soon will be, available in selected markets globally, including Russia, Spain, India, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Finland.

    Nokia said last month the model will cost 279 euros ($360) before operator subsidies and taxes, substantially less than the iPhone.

    Spurred by Apple, LG Electronics and Samsung Electronics have already rolled out touch-screen phones over the last two years, mostly in developed markets.
