Nexus One spotted running HTC Desire's ROM.

The HTC Desire and the Google Nexus One are basically the same phone with a few minor difference here and there, so running the Desire's HTC Sense enabled ROM on the Nexus One should be very possible, right? Right.

Earlier today, a Modaco forum member who goes by the name of Paul posted shots of a Nexus One with Sense UI. According to the poster, the ROM 'works well', with Flash 10.1 included.

Loading the ROM, however, wasn't without any issues. Apparently, the HTC 'system.img' file is too large for the N1 and so some 'things' has to be taken off the system partition, whough he did not mention which.Other issues include the FM radio loading but not playing any sounds or finding radio stations, and the ROM is watermarked.

Due to those issues, Paul won't be sharing his ROM with the public just yet, but promises to release something when he can acquire a release without a watermark.

G-Shock to go solar powered, might make me want to start wearing one again.

The Casio G-Shock, heralded as one of the most durable wristwatches for its price, has decided to get itself a little green creds.

Celebrating the 40th anniversary of Earth Day, the company is releasing three new sun-powered g-shock wristwatches. The watches will feature a solar panel in the front, presumably hidden under the display. To top off the 'green' move, the packaging for these new G-shocks will be made out of 100% recycled paper. The watches will be available in three colour and will be available soon.
