Sony Ericsson's upcoming C510 (Kate) Cybershot phone has been floating around for a while now, but these images from Daily Mobile represent the first decent look at it.

In case you missed it, here is a rundown of the features:

•3.2 MP AF camera and LED
•Face detection
•Smile shutter
•Auto rotation when viewing
•Cyber-shot™ UI 2.0
•3.2 MP AF camera
•Active lens cover
•2.2” QVGA display
•QVGA video
•Picture light
•160 MB in-built memory
•Dedicated shutter key
•Illuminated imaging shortcut keys
•Face detection, Photo fix
•Direct blog short cut key
•Smile shutter
•Illumination by different theme/mode
•Print service Snapfish
•Blue illuminated imaging short cuts
•Download and upload to YouTube

It doesn't appear to be a huge jump from the K770 series, apart from a bigger screen and a bump up in internal memory. Still, it should be a decent lower-end Cybershot handset when it is released in February. [Daily Mobile]

CeBIT '06: Cable-running Ka-Te CHUD

I'm not going to lie and say this isn't really just a boring cable-laying robot, but the entire system is pretty cool. You've got this snake-machine with on-board cable stays that moves through live, but clean, sewer pipes. Every meter or so, it releases a spring-loaded ring and then another robot comes by to place the cable. It can fit fiber into pipes from 9 inches to about 3 feet in diameter.

We even got to see it go back and forth inside a tube, which was slightly disturbing.
