Vodafone and Verizon Wireless announced the BlackBerry Storm in the early hours of this morning, and already the first reviews and hands-on opinions are coming in. As their first touchscreen handset, this is a very important device for RIM; it also puts them, in the consumers’ eyes at least, directly in competition with the Apple [...]
It’s turning into a whole day of the ASUS S101, but we can’t quite get enough of what’s proving to be ASUS’ slickest netbook yet. After the live shots and the press shots, we now have the review; Mobile Computer Mag have the luxury netbook (an oxymoron, you’d think) on their bench, and put it through its paces compared to [...]
Dell’s partnership with carrier Vodafone UK has meant that, for the cost of a two-year data contract, users can have a “free” Inspiron Mini 9 netbook and 3G HSDPA connectivity without the hassle or bulk of an external dongle. Pocket-lint have reviewed the WWAN-integrated Mini 9, and come away with mixed feelings: having everything built [...]
As promised after last week’s unboxing gallery, we’re starting to see the first reviews of BenQ’s S6 Mobile Internet Device come through from its new Italian owners. UMPC Portal have adopted one particular Italian called Alberto, who has been giving his thoughts on how the S6 holds up as an internet device, an ebook reader [...]
The first full review of WowWee’s Rovio mobile WiFi webcam has gone up, and if you were hoping the news would be bad and save you from spending $299 on a must-have robot, think again. While we knew the tech specs were tempting - WiFi, poseable webcam, control either locally, from preset routines or via [...]
For a while, MSI’s original Wind netbook seemed set to conquer all the other netbooks. With a relatively low price, sturdy build quality and, frankly, the fact that it wasn’t one of ASUS’ interminable Eee PCs, buyers flocked to the 10-inch budget ultraportable. Even battery shortages couldn’t dampen the enthusiasm. You might think the smaller [...]
Lenovo’s ThinkPad W700 caused a few double-takes when it launched, with a 5.1 x 3.2-inch Wacom digitizer built into the palm-rest, integrated color calibrator for the 17-inch 1920 x 1200 display and a range of available processors that easily let you throw away your desktop workstation. Laptop Mag have had the W700 in for testing, [...]
Gigabyte’s M912X touchscreen convertible netbook certainly has the performance, the resolution and the upgrade potential, but it still wasn’t the perfect mini-tablet. Battery life was the key complaint, suffering from the CCFL backlight. Thankfully Gigabyte also have an LED-backlit model, the M912M, which drops pixels (the M912M is 1024 x 600 versus 1280 x 768 on [...]
In netbook circles, the ASUS N10 remains something of an oddity. Unlike most of its category-mates, it can make a decent stab at gaming and has an unusual level of graphics grunt; also unlike them, it doesn’t really make much of an effort to come in as a budget offering. Mobile Computer Mag have been the latest to [...]
ASUS’ N10 might be a netbook, but it’s certainly no Eee PC - not if your general conception of the Eee range is a basic web-surfing machine that would run out of breath even at the mention of gaming. Mobile Computer have been putting the N10 through its paces, and one thing is clear: a [...]
