When you install a new SSD into your computer, you have to get the data from your old drive to your new one. That can be the most challenging part of the transfer. Once you are done, it would be nice if you could use your old drive for something other than a doorstop. The new Imation SSD Upgrade Kit offers you something to do with your old drive after the transfer, but doesn’t come with software or hardware for moving the data from your existing drive to the new SSD.
There’s nary a sign of the Motorola MILESTONE (the Euro-spec version of the Motorola DROID we’ve been so enamoured of) in the UK or indeed across the majority of Europe, but German buyers now have a plurality of choice should they want an Android 2.0 handset. Joining O2 Germany is Vodafone Germany, who are now listing the MILESTONE priced from €99 ($148) with a new contract.

Been subject to the recent Microsoft ban-fest on Xbox Live, where up to 1m accounts are believed to have been locked out after being modified to play pirate discs? Livid and refusing to take responsibility?

Having had a reasonably prolonged fondle with Quanta's Android Smartbook prototype yesterday, we're actually quite excited by the platform's prospects. According to one of Pegatron's general business managers, we shouldn't have too long to wait, either; Jeremy Shu is claiming that the company has received orders from a number of clients for large volumes of Smartbooks, and he expects them to launch in Q1 2010 alongside carrier partnerships for the integrated 3G connectivity.
Perhaps we’re naive, but we’d have thought that the sort of people who get early access to unannounced mobile phones would also have a decent camera, but perhaps it’s the thrill of the unknown that causes heavy hand shake. No matter, you’re looking at a blurry image of the Motorola Motus, the company’s mid-rage Android smartphone expected to arrive in 2010, that showed up at the Motofan.ru forums.
VISA hate carrying cash and they reckon you do too, and so they’re shouting about their new wireless payment systems. Recombu caught up with the company in Paris to look at three different ways of managing payments, ranging from a straightforward on-device app, wireless payments using NFC (near-field communications), and even a VISA app embedded into a SIM with its own mini-webserver.

When Atlona’s HDAiR wireless HDMI adapter launched earlier this year it was one of a few working systems promising high-definition without the cord, albeit only at a maximum 720p resolution rather than 1080p. The company’s new version still lacks Full HD support, but now at least throws in wireless audio, too.
Like the look of Google Chrome OS but don’t want to wait until late next year to buy a system running the new, web-centric platform? It’s only been a matter of hours since Google announced details of their new OS, but already there are a number of options for playing with the software. gdgt have put out a full VMWare image of Chrome OS to play with on an existing system, or alternatively you can go the whole hog for a proper install.
