Sony Vaio VGN-P688
Just when the human race had determined that no computer should be smaller than the netbooks currently on the market, Sony had a new idea. The Sony Vaio VGN-P688. The average netbook weighs about three pounds but Sony didn’t feel that was light enough.
The Sony Vaio VGN-P688 weighs a mere 1.4 pounds and can fit […]
The Flip Camcorder
Camcorders keep getting smaller and smaller. The Flip video camcorder is a good example of this phenomenon. People who regularly use their cell phones to record events, can step up the quality of their videos by purchasing the Flip. One of the best aspects of the camera is that it’s incredibly easy to use. Often, […]
Video: SNES runs beautifully on N900, makes out hearts flutter
We’ve already seen Nokia’s Maemo 5-powered N900 pull off some pretty fanciful tricks, but without qualification this is the one most dear to our hearts. Somehow or another, Konttori managed to get his palms around an N900 of his own, and rather than testing out the social networking abilities or battery life, he simply installed […]

Swordfish Net 102 Dual: the first netbook with twin Atom CPUs
Alright, so we’re going to go ahead and caution against buying anything that claims to have a “dual Bluetooth” module, but if you’re feeling froggy, the planet’s first (and probably last) dual CPU netbook has just been launched. Not dual core, mind you, but dual processor. The admittedly chintzy looking Swordfish Net 102 Dual claims […]
HTC HD2 makes first official appearance in O2 UK catalog
We’ve been furnished with the above page from an O2 in-store catalog detailing the HTC HD2 (aka Leo), which was set for a UK release on October 12 (though we’re hearing that may have slipped to the 26th). Interesting that it’s pictured with a stock Windows Mobile 6.5 UI instead of TouchFLO 3D. Is O2 […]
Video: Google Earth animated with real time human and vehicular traffic
Mmm, real time dynamic maps of the Earth. It seems nowadays that supervillainy just isn’t as hard as it used to be. Back in the days of Hugo Drax, you had to be a filthy rich eccentric to ever get to spy on the whole world, whereas today all you need is Google Earth and […]
Video: Android 1.6 Donut gets jazzy walkthrough, performance and Market tweaks on display
Android 1.6 was just released to dev phones, and while you may not have a suitably configured handset to run it, YouTuber arsenito84 does. He’s installed the latest version on his T-Mobile myTouch 3G and was kind enough to create this nine minute video showing every tiny little tweak made to the OS. There’s not […]
BlackBerry Desktop Manager for Mac releasing October 2
A tiny little beta leak earlier this month let BlackBerry-toting Mac fans knew that something good was coming in the near future, and now we know it’s very near indeed (though a bit later than expected). On October 2 RIM will release BlackBerry Desktop Manager for Mac, specifically at 1:00pm EST. That means instead of […]
