By Chris Davies on Friday, Nov 27th 2009 1 CommentSony flexible OLED notebook concept gets second outing
By Chris Davies on Friday, Oct 9th 2009 No CommentsSony may not have made any significant changes to their flexible OLED laptop concept since we saw it first at CES back in January, but the sleek prototype is so alluring that SlashGear Japan couldn’t walk past it at CEATEC this week without grabbing a photo.

Microsoft Zune HD Review
By Vincent Nguyen on Thursday, Sep 17th 2009 1 CommentMicrosoft’s first Zune attempts won it a few dedicated users but a whole lot of criticism. In the face of Apple’s all-conquering iPod touch there was only really one way to go, and that was touchscreen; the Zune HD marks not only the transition to being finger-friendly, but packs the latest OLED display technology, HD radio and by no means least 720p high-definition support. Clean reboot or BSOD? Check out the full SlashGear review to find out.
Sony A840, S740 and S640 Walkmans debut [Video]
By Chris Davies on Wednesday, Sep 16th 2009 No CommentsSony Japan have announced a bevy of new Walkman PMPs, the NW-A840, S740 and S640. The A840-series gets an OLED display like its X-Series sibling, but in this case its a regular display rather than a touchscreen. Still, it manages to be the thinnest Walkman to-date, at just 7.2mm thick, despite that 2.8-inch display, up to 64GB of storage and a battery apparently good for up to 29 hours of music playback or 9 hours of video.

Microsoft Zune HD gets hands-on: awesome screen, proficient PMP
By Chris Davies on Wednesday, Aug 5th 2009 No CommentsAfter the prematurely-released Zune HD press images yesterday, CNET had the chance to go hands-on with the latest pre-production model, and the best news (for Microsoft at least) is that they reckon it’s the best Zune yet. Gaining particular praise are the 3.3-inch OLED display, which is crisp and bright, while the browser – though lacking Flash support – works just like that of the iPod touch when it comes to multitouch gestures.
