, Nov 17th 2008 Discuss [0]

Hitachi Japan have announced two new projectors, the CP-X809J and the CP-WX410J.  Intended for business use rather than home entertainment, the projectors still could appeal to individual users not least because of their brightness levels.  The WX410J comes in at 3,000 lumens, while the X809J raises the bar even further at 5,000 lumens.

SlashGear Week in Review – Week 39 2008

, Sep 28th 2008 Discuss [0]

Netbooks made their typical strong showing this week, with ASUS announcing their intention to put 3G HSUPA into the Eee PC 901.  Meanwhile their N10 was reviewed and deemed the first netbook “suitable for serious gaming“, a promising title indeed.  Lenovo’s S10 also hit reviewers’ benches, making a strong – if at times warm – case for the smallest IdeaPad, while Packard Bell unveiled their ‘dot’, targeted much more at the budget end of the scale.  They’ll have a fight on their hands, though; SlashGear reviewed the Acer Aspire One this week too, and when it comes to value for money it’s a tough one to beat.

Arguably the biggest news of the week, however, has been T-Mobile’s G1 – the first Android-based handset to be officially announced.  Our sister-site AndroidCommunity.com ran a Live Blog of the whole event (and gave away a G1 to one lucky forum member), and we’ve got the photo galleries and hands-on video to show for it.

SlashGear Week in Review – Week 36 2008

, Sep 7th 2008 Discuss [0]

Netbooks returned to the top of the page this week, as Dell finally confirmed their first entrance to the budget ultraportable market.  The specs of the Dell Inspiron Mini 9 may not be all that surprising – given both the regular leaking pre-announcement and the fact that all of these machines are pretty similar – but the brand name will likely make it the netbook to beat.  In a way it’s a shame, because there are far more exciting devices – such as the Raon Digital Everun Note – that, by virtue of being less well known, will struggle to make themselves heard.
