PS3 Wants to Go on Diet Too! Slimmer PS3 on its way

, Feb 16th 2007 Discuss [0]

I guess I’m not the only one who wants to get thinner; Sony is working on a next revision of PS3 that will adopt slimmer form factor. The new PS3 will also move to a 45nm chips by 2008. The current bulky PS3 has a nice design but a little bulky and a slimmer PS3 would be nice revision. Slimmer PS3 on the Way [via gizmodo, via T3]

Macbook Anyone? Ops I meant Mini Macbook!

, Feb 16th 2007 Discuss [1]

AppleInsider has an insider story about Apple working on a sub-notebook so called “Mini Macbook”. Rumor has it the new sub-notebook will be announce around the time of WWDC, and it will sports onboard NAND flash. As I said, it’s still a rumor so take this like a grain of salt.

Nokia E90 – does the keyboard live up to expectations?

, Feb 16th 2007 Discuss [3]

Oh dear.  Initial reports on the Nokia E90 are trickling in, and like a warm rivulet of liquid down your inner thigh it's not particularly great news.  A bone of contention - and demonstrating just how subjective smartphones really are - is the keyboard.  My Symbian readily heap praise on it:

"Only good words can be said about the keyboard. It has the same height as the keyboard of the 9500 and the same width as the keyboard of the 9300(i). And, just like with the dimensions of the device, it's a PERFECT combination. What's more, in contrast to 9500's and 9300's flat keys, the keys in the E90 are slightly convex and shaped in the way that makes you clearly feel where each key begins or ends"
This, however, stands distinctly at odds with The Register's hands-on report, where they find the keyboard to be too small to touch-type on and perhaps too broad to comfortably thumb-type with: "Alas, unless you have very small fingers indeed, you're going to be disappointed." Read The Full Story

Watch-cellphone finally gets release date, price

, Feb 16th 2007 Discuss [0]

Having a quick glance at jkontherun today, I saw their article on the SMS M300 cellphone watch which is due to start shipping next month and thought to myself "I'm sure I've seen that before."  Sure enough, we wrote about the M300 last September, at the time reporting their predicted December 2006 release date.  Guess the intricacies of fitting a tri-band cellphone with GPRS, Bluetooth 2.0, mp3 player, OLED screen and enough battery life for 200 minutes talk-time or 80hrs standby were a little more tricky than expected, eh guys?   Read The Full Story

, Feb 16th 2007 Discuss [0]

Do you yet need another case for your iPod and find so few to choose from? I seriously doubt that, but for some strange reason everyone is determined to put a ton of accessories out there for all the different iPods. Read The Full Story

Covertly Click to your heart’s content

, Feb 16th 2007 Discuss [0]

I’m sure by now most people have seen one form or another of one of these puppies. For those of you that haven’t, though, it basically changes the channels or volume on someone else’s tv without them knowing it’s you. It’s small enough to fit in the palm of your hand so no one will notice. Read The Full Story

Cenio’s new royal court

, Feb 16th 2007 Discuss [0]

I know we have our fair share of custom tech items these days. Where some designer walks in and makes our bland tech items all shiny and pretty. Of course most of us eat that stuff up, because frankly we are bored with gray. Really who chooses gray? Read The Full Story

Yes, there are Apple rumors out there that aren't related to the iPhone. The latest one comes to us out of a “source in Taiwan.” And we all know that unnamed sources in a far-off country are always accurate. Read The Full Story

Yes, Virginia, Quantum Computing is Real

, Feb 16th 2007 Discuss [1]

For years we have heard the term “Quantum Computing” always used in a future tense. It was one of those things that scientists were working on in a lab somewhere that would never be finished in our life time. Reminds me of a 3D Realms game. Similar to the long overdue Duke Nukem title, we have been given a taste of what is to come. D-Wave introduced the world's first commercially viable quantum computer this week. It is by no means ready to be put to work in the mainstream, but it's a leap in the right direction. Read The Full Story
