I wish I hadn’t just renewed my phone contract now. My LG Renoir now looks like the ugly cousin.
This is the Android-based, 3-inch Sharp touchscreen, General Mobile DSTL1. And it is everything the T-Mobile isn’t: A stunning design and features combination that may convince regular consumers to choose the Android platform over iPhone.

Time to dust of that USB stick and browse in the shadows……
Windows only: OperaTor combines a thumb-drive-friendly version of the peedy Opera web-browser with transparent privacy through the Tor network.
Monitor Folders By RSS
I’m sure I can think of a use for this scratches head
If you are one of those Internet users living in their RSS feed reader you might like Folder RSS. Folder RSS is a folder monitor that creates a valid RSS feed that can be accessed using any RSS reader. The feed will contain the changes made to specified folders. The software program is fully portable and script driven meaning that it is necessary to write a short batch script or run the software from the command line to create the valid RSS feed. It should also be noted that the feed will be updated locally which is not a problem for desktop feed readers. The use of feed readers like Google Reader on the other hand would require to input the IP of the local computer along with the path to the feed making sure that the remote feed reader is allowed to access the file on the local computer.

Some cool video cameras which are muscling in on the stills market. I'm a sucker for multi function devices, why carry a stills & video camera. Now they just have to integrate a MP4 player and cell phone into it. Watch this space.......

Eee PC Touch Demo
How cool does this look?
Having trouble figuring out how a touchscreen Eee PC could fit into your life? No worries, ASUS just did all the heavy synaptic lifting for you with the release of a near 6-minute video showing its new Eee PC Touch UI. A UI teased at CES and built specifically for ASUS’ new touchcreen Eees. All in all it makes a pretty case for why you should pick up a new Eee PC T91 or T101H convertible tablet later this year. Let’s just hope the processor can cope.

Something to add to your wish list?
The 56" Phillips Cinema Widescreen LCD is a 21:9 television hitting the streets of selected countries next month. If you want one you can pay an arm and a kidney and watch movies in the proper 21:9 aspect ratio without black barring it. If you don’t want one, forget you ever read this and save that precious brain-space for something useful. Like a tv theme song! Which reminds me – “thank you for being a friend…” Haha, marinate on that one all afternoon, suckers! philips cinema 21:9 ultra widescreen perfect for movie snobs [technabob] Thanks to Julian, who who thought about getting one until he realized he owned a movie theater. An adult movie theater. No, that’s not creepy.
