The case definitely looks interesting, with all the components outside the case yet inside their own compartments. It kind of looks like one of those apartment complexes in a warm climate where the elevators are indoors but the hallways to everyone’s domiciles are out in the open air.

Lenovo unveiled its new mobile phone, named the X1. The X1 is a 3.2-inch WQVGA display, slide-out phone which uses Tri-Band and EDGE networks. Some other features are built-in GPS and a MicroSD slot for memory expansion.
As far as dimensions, the phone is a close match for the iPhone. The new X1 has a sleek look with a feather touch interface on the front panel and smooth edges. It’s a shame this phone will only be available in China for the moment.
Lenovo has christened the user interface the “Touch Dream”.

Full HD, 16:9 monitors will soon be all the rage. And why not? For roughly the same amount of screen size, you get more screen real estate. Sort of.For example, while the new Lenovo L215p we just got in has a 21.5-inch screen and the Gateway HD2201 has a 22-inch screen, the Lenovo is actually capable of displaying more pixels per square inch.
The Gateway has a native resolution of 1680x1050, and the Lenovo can natively achieve full 1080p resolution 1920x1080.
In addition to its native 1080p compatibility, the Lenovo L215p includes a 2-megapixel USB Webcam, a USB hub that includes three downstream and one upstream port, 25-degree back tilt, and 90-degree swiveling to the left and right.
I took a few pics just 'cause it's rather pleasing to the eye.
The netbook market is very crowded and setting yourself apart from the other products becomes harder every day. The Packard Bell .dot/10 does a commendable job to deliver a multifunctional product with lots of useful features like integrated webcam, large HDD, wifi, multi-card reader, and this at a competitive price of €399 €50 cheaper than the listed launch price. Performance wise this Atom based netbook is fast enough to run the latest Windows 7 beta without flaw and its 1gb onboard memory is sufficient to even do a little bit of multi-tasking.Upgrade options on the .dot/10 are absent, I couldn’t find an easy way to replace either HDD or Memory so that’s definitely a downside if you’re looking for a netbook which you can upgrade in the future.
The next generation netbook are still a few months away, with both Intel and NVIDIA pushing to deliver hardware capable of decoding HD content, higher resolutions screens and hopefully also newer power friendly features, as the current Intel chipset used is not the most power friendly out there. Intel did release a newer Atom CPU which is clocked at 1.66Ghz, no surprise that the 60Mhz speed bump is not making any difference performance wise, so those with a 1.6Ghz Atom can still sleep on both ears.
The Packard Bell dot series with 8.9” screen scores high in the looks department and feature wise is quite complete, only lacking Bluetooth; value wise it doesn’t stand out but is not more expensive than the competition. It will come down to personal preference whether or not this netbook is suited for you or not.
It’s said that in slowing economies, companies build value, not go on shopping sprees. So, when Cisco makers of computer servers and routers of most Internet traffic decided to pony up half a billion dollars for Pure Digital Corporation, the idea seems to run counter to conventional wisdom. Unless, Cisco is looking to expand their range of services to include the consumer market. And with Pure Digital enjoying a great 24 months with sales of pocket camcorders it can also reveal that Cisco believes that video will be a driving for on the Internet in the future.The Flip is a pocket sized camcorder that one may want to use for capturing every day moments while out and about. Costing between $130 and $230, it can capture up to 60 minutes of even high definition video on it’s on board flash memory and transfer that video to a PC or even upload to YouTube with its jack-knife like USB plug. On board software can also allow the user to put together a video presentation without investing in any more costly editing software.
Speculation is ripe that Cisco may be looking to take The Flip further into internet connectivity by adding WiFi or even 4G wireless connectivity. This would be a boon as no other camcorder has this feature to date, although many digital still camera models have begun incorporating WiFi access.
The upcoming JVC LT-42WX70 is no ordinary flat-panel TV for the average consumer. This full-HD 42-incher is a professional-grade monitor with an expanded color gamut ideal for the digital imaging industry. The LT-42WX70 will easily cover up to 96 percent of the Adobe RGB color space used in desktop publishing, as well as the full color spectrum under the current HDTV broadcast standard.
This article has been updated with official specifications from JVC Singapore.
For maximum print accuracy, the panel offers up to 52 image-related adjustments and six gamma settings to dial in colors. To keep the LT-42WX70 lean and "focused", the panel is shipped without a TV tuner which is available as an option in a separate external A/V media box. Without this addon, the TV will come with only three HDMI 1.3 and a PC input, which is more than reasonable for a sleek 13.3mm-thick panel--depth excluding the pole speakers.
According to a JVC spokesperson, the company is still fine tuning the final specifications and there's currently no firm plan to launch the LT-42WX70 in Asia.
# Here're some of the tentative specifications for the LT-42WX70: 50,000:1 dynamic contrast ratio
# 6.5ms response time
# 178-degree viewing angle
# 100/120Hz Clear Motion Drive III
# New DynaPix Perfect HD engine
# Deep Color/x.v.Color-ready
# Three HDMI 1.3 inputs
# One PC input (shared with component-video and composite-A/V via bundled adapters)
# Bezel with black leather-like texture
# Touch sensor panel
# Removable pole speakers
The heels of a rumor about a new Canon Rebel, rumors that originally surfaced in November about a Nikon D300 replacement have also reappeared, this time with a screenshot, ostensibly from Nikon Germany's site.
According to the capture posted on Nikonrumors and translated by Gizmodo, it's a 15.3-megapixel model with sensitivities up to 6400 and support for "Full HD" video which Gizmodo incorrectly assumes must be 1080p; 1080i is also considered "Full HD," which is defined as a spatial resolution of 1,920x1,080.
Although I've really been expecting an entry-level D60 replacement instead--that camera was annouced in January of 2008, and it's in a higher turnover, faster growing market segment--a new midrange model is certainly overdue as well, lending credence to the timing. And if it's true, look for price drops on the D300 over the next month that will make it an excellent deal for shooters who don't care about video.
THIS stylish camera comes with a high-power Nikkor 7x optical zoom and advanced features that put more colour and enjoyment into photography.
It features the Nikon’s exclusive Smart Portrait System which automatically detects as many as 12 faces in the shot; a face-priority AF which helps produce satisfying portraits by adjusting focus and exposure; and a Smile mode which automatically releases the shutter when the priority subject smiles.
The camera also offers the new Blink Proof function, which automatically shoots two sequential frames and saves the one in which the subject’s eyes are open-wide.
Now featuring a faster processing speed, the in-camera Red-Eye Fix automatically corrects any perceived red-eye effect before saving the image to memory.
A variety of light sensitivity controls create new opportunities to take sharper, more natural-looking photos in lower light conditions, or to capture fast-moving subjects with clarity.
Sensitivity of up to ISO 6400* can be set using manual control while the Auto ISO enables carefree shooting with optimal exposure by entrusting the light sensitivity setting to the camera.
The high quality 2.7in LCD in the Coolpix S630 features a 170° wide-viewing angle, anti-reflection coating for better display in bright situations, as well as brightness level adjustment.
Quick Retouch adds the right finishing touch to your photos by automatically creating a retouched copy with the best balance of contrast and saturation.
Other features include 16 handy scene modes for optimised shooting in various settings; a scene auto selector; motion detection; and distortion control for optimum quality when shooting architecture or landscapes.
The Coolpix S630 also offers active zoom; auto sort and favourite pictures functions; four movie modes with sound; time zone function for easy setting of multiple locations; about 44MB of internal memory; and hi-speed USB connectivity.
The IdeaPad Y550 15.6-inch model from Lenovo has been on our radar for awhile, but we didn’t know very much about it, at least when it comes to specifics. Until now, that is. This 15.6-inch notebook is meant for those looking to make the most of multimedia applications and focuses in on entertainment.The details didn’t come out in the form of an official release; rather, they were leaked by a retailer called Fad Fusion. This notebook has an Intel Core 2 Duo T6400 processor, 4GB of DDR3 system memory, a 320 GB hard drive, GMA X4500MHD integrated graphics, a 1366 x 768 resolution display and a DVD burner. The display also uses LED backlight and has a 16:9 aspect ratio.
There’s no doubt about it: this notebook really packs a punch. With built-in stereo speakers, a subwoofer and Dolby Home Theater 2 tech, you’re sure to get a great movie experience out of it. Plus, the 1.3 megapixel web cam, 802.11n WiFi, and 6-cell battery round out the portable media package. A multi-touch trackpad is expected to be included as well. You can expect to pay around $826 for this notebook whenever it’s finally released.
Based on data from computer repair and support company Rescuecom, there’s been a slight shuffle at which company produces the least troublesome computers.
At the end of 2008, Apple had secured the lead with the fewest number of service calls, but has since been overtaken by Asus and IBM/Lenovo both companies were listed together, perhaps due overlap from older ThinkPads.
Asus and IBM/Lenovo shared the top spot, with the rest in ranked order being Apple, Toshiba, Acer and HP/Compaq.
Rescuecom calculated PC reliability scores based on a sample of over 15,000 servce calls throughout the quarter.
Rescuecom does note in its data that Asus started shipping a new version of its Eee netbook in September 2008, making its shipping numbers skyrocket in the last few months of the year, yet the repair company received a disproportionately small number of calls to its support line for help with this product.
"The results are in, and although Asus is the leader this quarter with a reliability score of 972, Asus's reliability score should be taken with a grain of salt, even though it was more than 600 points ahead of IBM/Lenovo. We look forward to seeing if Asus is able to maintain the same demand and reliability over the coming quarters," says David A. Milman, Rescuecom's founder and CEO.
Rescuecom's next report, which may reveal evidence of whether or not Asus sustains its reliability momentum, is due out next quarter.

While I’ve always spent a lot of time computing, the precise, all-day cursor movements of professional writing and designing (a recent switch) got me vexed with my previous mouse’s lack of control and an aching wrist. After borrowing a friend’s $70 trackball and enjoying the fingertip control and comfort, I set out to get tracking at the lowest possible cost and highest possible comfort. I settled on the Logitech Marble Mouse.Shaped like a low, oval hill, this $20 mouse is a nice inverse of the natural curve of a hand. The trackball sits naturally under the index and middle fingers and moves very smoothly. The sizeable left and right buttons are situated directly under your thumb and ring finger, while the two smaller buttons above them can be designated for a variety of functions like scrolling and zoom. The symmetry also makes it ambidextrous, which is great for any left/right-handed families that share a home computer.
I did try a few thumb-operated trackballs, but a slight weirdness in my right thumb joint causes some discomfort when I move it a lot. Every time I put my hand on the Marble Mouse, I’m able to keep it totally relaxed. The mouse is large enough for comfort, but still relatively small enough to take on the road. The build quality is solid, and it’s easy to clean. Best of all, my wrist no longer smarts after a long day’s editing.
Bonus: the heavy, low-friction ball makes a nice desk toy when you need a break.

Wow, this upcoming laptop from Dell looks so gorgeous. Called ‘Adamo‘, the notebook seems to be the most stylish machine to date.

It doesn’t get much better than when aliens and technology meet. Sadly aliens didn’t create it and it’s far from being advanced technology. However, it is in the shape of a UFO, which is alien enough for me. The rechargeable speaker is small enough to pop it in your pocket or book bag, so that it will always be with you when you’re in need of music. Plus, not only is it alien friendly, but it is plenty affordable and doesn’t actually look cheap.It’s one of the few portable speakers I’ve seen off of GizGeek that doesn’t look too shabby. It might be that the sleek black keeps it simple, as well as preventing it from appearing cheaply made. The on/off switch has a blue LED power indicator. It comes with a built-in rechargeable Lithium-ion battery and it will work with any type of MP3 player as well as your computer. The top hatch opens up, either for looks or to allow the speaker to transmit sound a bit better, they don’t actually explain that part. You can purchase the speaker for $15.
