The new Sony Ericsson K770 Cyber-shot™ phone : GlobalGiants.com
London, 15th August 2007. Sony Ericsson’s new K770 Cyber-shot™ phone, announced yesterday, is a digital camera, a photo album and an elegant phone all in-one. Still a phone first and foremost, it allows you to send and share your photos as soon as you’ve taken them.
At just 14.5mm slim and finished in a fashionable Truffle Brown, the K770 can take pictures as good as a standalone digital camera; pictures can be printed up to A4 size. The camera can also be used for video and comes with a powerful photo light for indoor photo-taking and filming. As with all Sony Ericsson Cyber-shot™ phones, ‘ease of use’ sits at the heart of the experience. To take a picture, just slide open the lens cover, find your subject and shoot. |GlobalGiants.com|

United States Mint: Presidential $1 Coin Featuring Thomas Jefferson Rolls Into Circulation Tomorrow : GlobalGiants.com
Survey Reveals Most Americans Can't Name Nation's Founding Fathers.

The reverse (tails side) on all the Presidential $1 Coins is a magnificent image of the Statue of Liberty, designed and sculpted by United States Mint Sculptor-Engraver Don Everhart.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 15 -- A survey commissioned by the United States Mint has found that most Americans don't know that Thomas Jefferson was their Nation's third President and a shockingly small number could name the first four Presidents in order. The United States Mint released the findings of the Presidential $1 Coin Survey, as the third Presidential $1 Coin featuring Jefferson heads into circulation nationwide USA tomorrow.
"That's what's great about the Presidential $1 Coin Program," said United States Mint Director Ed Moy in an event today for the new Jefferson coin at the Jefferson Memorial in Washington. "This series of circulating coins provides the perfect opportunity for Americans to learn more about our Presidents and the critical role they played in some of our Nation's historic milestones."
Only 7 percent of those surveyed could name the Nation's first four Presidents in order: George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson and James Madison. When asked specifically about Thomas Jefferson, only 30 percent knew that he was their Nation's third President. However, slightly more than half of Americans, 57%, knew that Thomas Jefferson was the main author of the Declaration of Independence, the Presidential $1 Coin Survey revealed.
The United States Mint celebrated the new Thomas Jefferson $1 Coin by allowing visitors to the Jefferson Memorial to exchange dollar bills for the new coins one day ahead of their official release. |GlobalGiants.com|
