By Chris Davies on Thursday, May 21st 2009 No Comments

Color us frustrated: Sharp have put together a gorgeous mixture of touchscreen, tilting display and full-QWERTY keyboard, and wasted the whole thing by limiting it to e-dictionary and media playback duties. The Sharp RD-PM10 has a 4.3-inch WQVGA touchscreen, FM radio and 8GB of onboard storage, but lacks WiFi or Bluetooth or indeed any sort of internet software.

By Chris Davies on Tuesday, Apr 21st 2009 No Comments

Sharp have been pretty quiet on the netbook front, but that’s set to change with the launch of the Sharp Mebius PC-NJ70A next month. Delivering what many netbook manufacturers find impossible – something unique in the segment – the Mebius PC-NJ70A’s special trick is a 4-inch 854 x 480 flush-fitting touchscreen trackpad, which can not only be used for controlling the mouse but as a secondary sub-display.
